  • Publication number: 20100133763
    Abstract: The working clearance height of a high-clearance vehicle is normally established by four main suspension spindles that are respectively received for reciprocating within upright journals provided at the opposite ends of front and rear axle assemblies of the vehicle main frame, with the bottom end each of the main spindles being received in a bore at the top of an associated wheel motor housing that serves also as a wheel hub mounting bracket. In order to increase the working clearance height of the vehicle, an optional elongate spacer assembly is mounted between the bottom of each elongate main suspension spindle and the associated wheel motor housing.

  • Publication number: 20060277248
    Abstract: A system for processing a request, the system includes a request initiator for creating a request, a request receiver for receiving the request from the request initiator, wherein the request receiver is in communication with the request initiator, and data structuring device for sequencially structuring data for use in processing the request and providing a response to the request. A method of processing a request by creating a request, forwarding the request to a request processing system, receiving the request, processing the request, processing the output of the request, and providing a response to the request.

  • Patent number: 6942163
    Abstract: An agricultural sprayer includes tubular main frame rails supporting tank and plumbing structure. A tank port is located between the rails with a substantial portion of the plumbing structure supported between the rails and between the upper and lower planes of the rails for protection and a neat appearance. The upright walls of the rails include round holes reinforced with round tube secured to the walls to seal the wall and prevent contaminants from entering the rails. The round tube is split to allow torsional frame flexibility while preventing high stress at the round tube sidewall connections. A straight horizontal fluid line path between the port and a location outside the frame is provided through the round tube to limit line length, eliminate elbows, improve appearance, improve cleanout functions and facilitate a low mounting of the tank on the frame.

  • Patent number: 5652928
    Abstract: Camera autofocus apparatus and method employing an autoranging device to determine a lens destination focus position in terms of a target number of signal pulses from a lens motion sensor photo-interrupter. A lens drive motor is initially driven at maximum speed by a 100% pulse width modulated drive signal. At a fixed number of signal pulses in advance of the target, the average motor speed is calculated and a reduced pulse with modulated drive signal, determined based on the calculated motor speed, is applied to the drive motor to cause the lens to arrive at a uniform speed at a near destination focus position that is suitable for application of a standard motor stopping routine. During the motor stopping routine, the motor is initially "plugged" (reverse polarity drive signal) and the signal pulse period is monitored until a predetermined period is reached.
