Abstract: A sheath end piece of a connecting element that connects two vehicle door opening devices includes a base, a mounting element, and a dismounting element. The connecting element includes a cable which is partially covered with a sheath. The base is mounted on an end portion of the sheath and includes a fastening interface to permit the mounting and dismounting of the connecting element on one of the two door opening devices. The mounting element permits exerting a pressure on the fastening interface so as to permit the mounting of the connecting element. The dismounting element permits exerting a traction on the fastening interface so as to permit the dismounting of the connecting element. At least one of the mounting element and the dismounting element protrudes from the base.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-stage pixel architecture for radiation imaging, and related detectors and radiation imaging systems including the same are described. Embodiments of methods of performing synchronous read/integrate using pixels described herein are also described.

Abstract: A device non-invasively measures aortic flow in the subdiaphragmatic region in a small laboratory mammal. The device includes a device for plethysmography of the thorax by inductance measurement, having two electrically conducting, extendible coils rigidly attached to an elastic garment that is adjustable to the torso of the mammal, a device for acquiring the signal from variation in the cross-section of each coil, and a processor configured to calculate the instantaneous subdiaphragmatic aortic flow of the mammal from the signals from the variation in cross-section of each coil and from a functional model of the cardiorespiratory system. The exchanges of blood between the thorax and the rest of the body of the mammal include an output of blood via the abdominal aorta in the subdiaphragmatic region and an input of blood via the inferior vena cava.

Abstract: A loader implement includes a support mast that is provided with a mounting area for a front loader arrangement. The loader implement includes a roll-over protective assembly that is coupled to one of the other or both of the loader implement, or support mast. The protective assembly can be selectively pivoted between a raised protective position wherein it extends over an operator's platform and a lowered non-protective position, wherein it extends forward of the operator's platform. So as to prevent the loader arrangement from being used without the benefit of the protective assembly in its protective position, the mounting area for the loader arrangement is blocked by the protective assembly when the latter is in its non-protective position and is not cleared to permit the mounting of the loader arrangement until the protective assembly is moved to its protective position.

Abstract: The entire right, title and interest in and to this application and all subject matter disclosed and/or claimed therein, including any and all divisions, continuations, reissues, etc., thereof are, effective as of the date of execution of this application, assigned, transferred, sold and set over by the applicant(s) named herein to Deere & Company, a Delaware corporation having offices at Moline, Ill. 61265, U.S.A., together with all rights to file, and to claim priorities in connection with, corresponding patent applications in any and all foreign countries in the name of Deere & Company or otherwise.

Abstract: A baler includes a baling chamber configured for forming parallelepiped bales. The baling chamber has a top wall that is adjustable toward and away from a bottom wall of the chamber. The top wall is provided with a plurality of transversely spaced, parallel slots extending lengthwise of the chamber. A baling piston is mounted for movement within the baling chamber and includes an upper part which is defined by a plurality of transversely spaced ribs that are respectively received in the slots in the top wall and accommodate the movement of the latter during adjustment.

Abstract: A mower-conditioner includes a conditioning device which is mounted for being selectively shifted transverse the direction of travel so as to be offset relative to the longitudinal centerline of the mowing device. Associated with the conditioning device is a crop guide device which may be selectively adjusted to cause a narrowed stream of conditioned crop to be deposited to opposite sides of a longitudinal centerline of the conditioning device.
