Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying biomarkers of disease capable of affecting cognitive function. The biomarkers identified by the methods of the prevention may be used for predicting whether a mammal will develop a disease capable of affecting cognitive function. More specifically, the present invention relates to the identification of biomarkers predictive of neurological diseases in a mammal and the use of these biomarkers in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and/or prognosis of the neurological disease. The methods and systems provided enable an assessment and theoretical prediction of neocortical amyloid loading based on the measurement of biomarkers that will provide an indication of whether a mammal is likely to develop a neurological disease.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for an agricultural header includes a rod configured to extend laterally along the agricultural header and a cam coupled to the rod and configured to engage a respective arm of the agricultural header. The arm is configured to support a cutter bar assembly of the agricultural header, and the arm is configured to rotate relative to a frame of the agricultural header. The rod is configured to rotate in a first direction to a first orientation to engage the cam with the arm to block rotation of the arm relative to the frame, and the rod is configured to rotate in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to a second orientation to disengage the cam from the arm to enable rotation of the arm relative to the frame.

Abstract: A reel assembly of an agricultural header includes a first arm configured to support a reel of the reel assembly and a first pivot joint configured to pivotally couple the first arm to a frame of the agricultural header. The first pivot joint is configured to enable the first arm to pivot about a first local lateral axis of the agricultural header and about a longitudinal axis of the agricultural header relative to the frame. In addition, the reel assembly includes a second arm configured to support the reel and a second pivot joint configured to pivotally couple the second arm to the frame. The second pivot joint is configured to enable the second arm to pivot about a second local lateral axis of the agricultural header relative to the frame and to substantially block pivoting of the second arm about the longitudinal axis relative to the frame.

Abstract: A header of a harvester includes a cutter bar assembly, a side deck, and an airbag. The side deck includes a conveyor and an arm assembly. The cutter bar assembly is configured to cut crops, and the conveyor is configured to transport the crops cut by the cutter bar assembly toward a center of the header. The arm assembly is coupled to the cutter bar assembly and to the at least one airbag. The arm assembly is configured to pivot to enable the cutter bar assembly to flex along a lateral axis of the header. The airbag is configured to apply a substantially constant force to the at least one arm assembly.

Abstract: A header of an agricultural harvester is provided. The header includes a rigid modular frame. The rigid modular frame includes a center section, a first outer section, and a second outer section. The first and second outer sections flank the center section and are rigidly coupled to the center section.

Abstract: A header of an agricultural harvester is provided. The header includes a frame having a centerline defining a first side and a second side of the frame. A first portion of either the first side or the second side of the frame has a first trapezoidal profile that includes a first pair of legs that run along a longitudinal axis of the frame and a first pair of bases that form a height of the frame. The first pair of legs include a first top leg and a first bottom leg, and the first bottom leg is angled toward the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A header system is provided. The headers system includes a conveyor belt and a belt roller assembly comprising a belt roller configured to contact the conveyor belt and to rotate about an axis during movement of the conveyor belt. The header system further includes a belt roller assembly mount configured to secure the belt roller on the header system, wherein the belt roller mount assembly comprises a first mounting member configured to secure the belt roller to an infeed deck frame included in the header system.

Abstract: A header system includes a first header segment comprising a cutter bar configured to cut crops, and a first portion of a conveyor assembly. The header system further includes a center section comprising a center section tilted top beam and a second portion of the conveyor assembly, wherein the center section is configured to receive cut crops from the first header segment via the first portion of the conveyor assembly, wherein the center section tilted top beam is disposed at a first angle tilted relative to ground when the header system is in use.

Abstract: A header for an agricultural harvester includes a header body that is configured to be connected to the harvester. The header body is configured for cutting plants from the ground and distributing those plants to a feeder of the agricultural harvester. A wheel is attached to the header body for contacting the ground to support the header body above the ground. A lifting power unit moves the wheel with respect to the header body to adjust a distance between the header body and the ground.

Abstract: A hydraulic reel function control for a header of a combine harvester. The hydraulic reel function control has two hydraulic circuits that move header reel sections in fore and aft and upward and downward directions. The hydraulic circuits include a limited number of differently sized hydraulic cylinders that reliably move the reel sections while reducing the number of different parts necessary to operate and service the header.

Abstract: A system for knowledge capture and discovery comprises a knowledge repository in which all input data is stored as objects and relationships between objects, and which input data may be stored according to more than one storage format. At least two hierarchical user interfaces provide input mechanisms to obtain the input data, object information concerning the input data and relationship information concerning the input data, thereby permitting end user applications to be developed. A controller receives the input data, object information and relationship information from the at least two hierarchical user interfaces and causes the input data to be stored in the knowledge repository as an object based on the object information and the relationship information.
