Abstract: At least one embodiment of the current invention provides a wireless audio assembly for use with recessed lighting fixtures and comprising: a wireless speaker, a powerbase module, a mounting support and a frame extension. The wireless audio assembly is attached to an existing recessed light, gets its power from recessed light power lines and has an opening in the center with a concave surface that appears as a continuation to the recessed light center opening.

Abstract: A smart recessed light assembly for mounting into a hollow opening made in ceiling or a wall comprises a light source housing, a trim and a device mounting track. The device mounting track creates an extension to the illuminating assembly to house and power a variety of devices pertaining to smart home like an audio system, a video projection system, a surveillance system, variety of sensory systems that can measure temperature and humidity, to detect motion or hazardous situations like the case for carbon monoxide (CO). Smart recessed light may be recessed into the ceiling to give it the appearance of a continuous surface and to give it an aesthetic appeal. In addition, device mounting track has a modular cover to allow devices to be hidden behind a grid cover like the case of speaker or exposed like the case of a motion detection sensor.

Abstract: A system is provided for controlling the angle of tilt of a cleaning shoe in an agricultural harvester. The cleaning shoe is automatically tilted by a microcontroller at least in partial response to signals the microcontroller receives from a grain loss detector that indicates the amount of grain lost from the cleaning shoe.

Abstract: An unloader control for an unloader conveyor and grain tank conveyor of an agricultural combine, which, when an unload command is received, will automatically initiate operation of the unloader conveyor to commence conveying grain in an inlet end thereof toward the outlet end thereof so as to allow smooth transition of grain from the grain tank conveyer to the inlet end of the unloader conveyor, then automatically initiate operation of the grain tank conveyor for moving grain into the inlet end of the unloader conveyor, and, when a clean out command is received during operation of the unloader conveyor and the grain tank conveyor, will automatically cease operation of the grain tank conveyor, then, after a sufficient time period for the unloader conveyor to convey substantially all of any grain therein through the outlet end, automatically cease operation of the unloader conveyor.

Abstract: An electronic control system includes two speed sensors connected to a microcontroller that is configured to read the sensors and perform the process of determining the gear ratio of a vehicle gearbox. The process includes calculating (several times) which of at least two gear ratios the gearbox is engaged in, then adding up the number of times each of the gear ratios was calculated, and then selecting the gear ratio that was calculated the most times as the true gear ratio.

Abstract: A dual power path drive and method for controllably decelerating the rotor or rotors of an agricultural combine in reduced time, without causing undesirable wear, shock and energy transfer to other aspects of the power system of the combine. The drive and method use a planetary gear arrangement having an output connected to the rotor or rotors, an input connected to an output of a first power source or path which can be a fluid power source such as a fluid motor of a hydro-static drive or a variable speed electrical motor, the first power source or path being controllable within speed limits thereof for decelerating the rotor from several operating states.
