  • Publication number: 20100016044
    Abstract: A harvesting machine including a chassis and a cleaning shoe. The cleaning shoe is supported by the chassis. The cleaning shoe includes a frame and at least one grain cleaning element. The frame is moveable in a first plane relative to the chassis. The at least one grain cleaning element is supported by the frame. The at least one grain cleaning element is movable in a second plane different from the first plane.

  • Publication number: 20090270148
    Abstract: An agricultural combine includes a supporting structure. A work assembly is coupled to the supporting structure. The work assembly has a plurality of components to assist in the performing of crop processing operations. The work assembly is configured to define an air stream path. The work assembly has at least one rotary component that generates an air stream that flows through the air stream path to aid in crop processing in the work assembly. A fluid system is configured to circulate a fluid. The fluid system includes a fluid cooler that is positioned at a location in the air stream path to provide cooling of the fluid.

  • Patent number: 5402320
    Abstract: Within an electronic shelf, physically separating or isolating in a front to rear direction keying elements from connector alignment elements to provide a separation distance, minimizes the undesirable interaction that may occur between keying elements and connector alignment elements due to tolerance effects. Worst case manufacturing tolerances with respect to keying elements, for example, no longer influence in any significant way, the co-action of the connector alignment elements. Insertion of circuit packs into respective receiving stations is achieved with less effort since effort is not required to overcome extra frictional forces resulting from the keying elements interacting with the connector alignment elements.
