Abstract: A header for an agricultural harvester including an endless belt conveyor and a flex arm disposed between upper and lower runs of the endless belt conveyor. The flex arm includes an elongate beam having an upper surface, and a roller extending above the upper surface of the elongate beam for contacting the upper run of the endless belt conveyor. The roller raises the belt conveyor above the upper surface of the elongate beam, thereby minimizing contact between the upper run of the endless belt conveyor and friction reducing bearings situated atop channel supports connected at opposite sides of the elongate beam. The resultant construction minimizes wear, heat and drag on the endless belt conveyor and the friction reducing bearings.

Abstract: A chemical mixture dispensing assembly for automatically filling a fluid containment with a predetermined ratio of chemicals and water includes a housing that is mountable on a support surface such that the housing is positioned proximate a fluid containment. The housing is fluid coupled to a water source, a first chemical source and a second chemical source. A mixing unit is positioned in the housing and the mixing unit mixes a predetermined volume of fluid from the first chemical source and the second chemical source with a predetermined volume of water from the water source to produce a fluid mixture. The mixing unit dispenses a predetermined volume of the fluid mixture from the mixture outlet to fill the fluid containment with the fluid mixture.

Abstract: In a substitutional media system, one of a set of media items is selected at a programme receiver for output within a predefined programming slot, based on profile data available at the receiver. Sets of the media items are scheduled to slots according to one or more constraints pertaining to that slot and/or to media items scheduled to other slots. The receiver may select a media item for output in a slot by resolving constraints with media items scheduled to other slots, or selected for output in other slots.

Abstract: Systems, methods, media, and other such embodiments described herein relate to critical area analysis (CAA) operations as part of electronic design automation (EDA). One embodiment involves accessing a circuit design having a first layer (which may be a composite layer), sampling the first layer, and performing an initial CAA using the sampled portions of the layer with a set of predetermined defect sizes. The initial CAA is used to automatically generate a model which can be used to accurately select input parameters (e.g., selected defect sizes) for a full analysis. A CAA characteristic is then calculated for the first layer using the input parameters. In various embodiments, different sampling percentages and criteria for selecting input parameters can be used to reduce the computing resources to compute a CAA characteristic, such as theta-bar, while limiting error to a threshold amount (e.g. less than one percent).
