Abstract: A bat tube for use with a harvester pick-up reel. The bat tube is configured to resist torsional loads, without having to use fasteners that engage holes in the bat tube. Preferably, the external surface of the bat tube provides at least one key or keyway that engages a corresponding keyway or key in the band or strap portion of the tines. As such, once a tine is engaged with the bat tube, the tine is generally prevented from rotating about the bat tube. Additionally, by not using fasteners to engage holes in the bat tube, spacing between the tines can be varied. The bat tube allows for tine fastening and torsional resistance without drilling or punching holes, which allows for easily variable tine spacings. It also allows for improved crop gathering and crop entry characteristics over a typical round profile.

Abstract: A method of applying ultrasound gel including the steps of removing a barrier separating a reagent and a lubricating gel. The reagent and the lubricating gel are separated within a single packaging. Mixing the reagent and the lubricating gel to produce a lubricating gel mixture. The mixing causes an exothermic reaction configured to selectively heat the lubricating gel to a desired temperature. Opening the packaging to permit the release of the lubricating gel mixture and then distributing the lubricating gel mixture onto a patient.

Abstract: An electrical power source includes a power converter and either an electrical generator or an electrical energy storage device. Power flow is controlled through control of the power converter based on a voltage source and resistance model of the electrical power source. A power converter for an electrical generator is controlled to synthesize a constant voltage of the voltage source and a variable value of the resistance. The resistance value is controlled to deliver a maximum available output power to the electrical microgrid over a range of microgrid voltages up to a voltage below a maximum allowable voltage of the electrical microgrid. For an electrical energy storage device, the power converter is controlled to synthesize a resistance value of the resistance that is dependent upon a phase angle between the voltage at the microgrid side of the electrical power source and current of the electrical energy storage device.

Abstract: A tine for use with a harvester. The tine is preferably an injection molded polymer pickup reel tine, which uses a front-to-rear mold parting line direction. The tine preferably has a snap ring or strap portion which is configured to engage a bat tube, as well as a finger portion which is configured to engage the crop during harvesting. Preferably, the front-to-rear parting line is along both portions. The front-to-rear parting line allows for the ability to provide a deep front-to-rear cross section for rigidity at the high stress area of the tine. Two front-to-rear material saving features can be utilized to minimize material usage and allow for relative consistent wall thickness, which results in a rigid cross section that maintains deflection stability in the normal direction of deflection.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed in which an algorithm that updates or rewrites one or more formulas when a table is transposed in an application. In certain embodiments the formula is rewritten so as to preserve the functionality of the formula with respect to the transposed table. In certain embodiments, a notification may be provided that a formula is changed or not changed in response to the table transposition event.

Abstract: A space frame for a machine is disclosed. The space frame may have a first end configured to be connected to front wheels of the machine. The space frame may also have a second end configured to be connected to rear wheels of the machine. Further, the space frame may have primary structural members arranged substantially lengthwise between the first end and the second end. In addition, the space frame may have secondary structural members connected between the primary structural members to form substantially triangulated structures allowing the space frame to support a payload to empty vehicle weight ratio ranging from about 1.2:1 to 2:1.

Abstract: An encapsulated windshield molding surrounds at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the windshield and includes one or more seals, such as multiple lip or whisker-type seals. The encapsulated molding aims to provide a water-tight installation of the windshield into the windshield opening of the vehicle and allows for butyl-free or adhesive-free restraint of the windshield.

Abstract: Technologies for managing a drug prescription may include determining submission requirements to submit a prescription of a user to an insurance payer for payment based on an identity of the insurance payer, generating a prescription payment submission form customized for the insurance payer based on the submission requirements, populating the prescription payment submission form with prescription information of the prescription and identification information of the user, and submitting the populated prescription payment submission form to an insurance payer processor server. Additionally, the disclosed technologies include receiving prescription co-pay information related to the prescription in response to submitting the prescription payment submission form and submitting an adjustment to the insurance payer processor server to cancel the submission of the prescription payment submission form.

Abstract: A ballot processing device flashes one or more lights of the ballot processing device in a first color when the ballot processing device is ready to receive a ballot. The ballot processing device lights a portion of the one or more lights of the ballot processing device in a second color when the ballot processing device is not ready to receive a ballot.

Abstract: A kingpin assembly for pivotally supporting a steering knuckle of a steering linkage assembly is disclosed herein. The kingpin assembly includes a pin and a bearing mount assembly. The pin includes a shoulder disposed between a first tapered portion and a second tapered portion. The first tapered portion is structured and arranged for load bearing and is in engagement with the steering knuckle. The second tapered portion is in reverse taper configuration relative to the first tapered portion, measured axially along the pin. The bearing mount assembly has a first bearing half and a second bearing half. The first and second bearing halves sandwiches the second tapered portion for retention thereof. Each of the first and second bearing halves is in engagement with the steering knuckle.

Abstract: A gateway controller allows a plurality of individual power generation units coupled to an electrical distribution grid to be controlled in a coordinated fashion. The gateway controller allows control of the plurality of individual power generation units as a single power generation unit. The gateway controller may determine required control parameters of the power generation units that will provide a desired combined behavior, such as combined alternating current injected into the grid, and issues commands to the power generation units based on the determined control parameters.
