  • Approximated rotational speed signal for shifting transmission
    Patent number: 4959806
    Abstract: A system is provided for approximating rotational speed of a oscillating rotational member such as a vehicular transmission input or output shaft (2). The system includes a rotational speed sensor (4) and a processor (6) operable to provide at an output signal (S.sub.approx.) equal to at least one of signals (S.sub.3, S'.sub.3, S.sub.5, S'.sub.5 and S.sub.7 S'.sub.7) according to the number of speed measurements made by sensor (4) within a predetermined time period (T).

  • Spout aimer with feed roll rotation sensing
    Patent number: 4573849
    Abstract: A spout aiming control system for a forage harvester includes a sweep mode wherein the spout is automatically moved to provide even wagon filling under certain conditions. A magnetic pickup senses rotation of the forage harvester feed rolls. A disable system prevents operation of the sweep mode unless the feed rolls are rotating faster than a threshold rotation speed. A warning signal is generated if the pickup signal indicates that the feed rolls are not rotating and the pickup has an open circuit condition.

  • Spout aimer
    Patent number: 4529348
    Abstract: A spout control system permits automatic and manual control of a forage harvester spout which directs crop to a receiving wagon. Under certain conditions, the control system automatically sweeps the spout in a stepwise manner through a series of positions to achieve uniform wagon filling. This and other functions are achieved with the use of a suitably programmed microprocessor.
