Publication number: 20240074353Abstract: A harvester reel for an agricultural harvester header includes a central rotatable shaft; a plurality of reel tine bars and a cam assembly for guiding rotation of the plurality of reel tine bars. The reel tine bars extend widthwise across the reel and are connected to the central rotatable shaft for rotation therewith. Each of the plurality of reel tine bars include a tine. The cam assembly includes a cam and a diverter adjacent the cam. The diverter is movable between a disengaged position, in which the cam does not guide rotation of the tine bars, and an engaged position, in which the cam does guide rotation of the tine bars. The diverter is biased toward the engaged position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Cory Hunt, Jeffrey Trowbridge

Patent number: 11408574Abstract: A lamp assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing, a reflector mounted in the housing, a light source, a printed circuit board or PCB mounted on a heatsink of the lamp assembly and coupled to the light source to control operation of the light source. The PCB has a first connector for coupling to a second connector comprising a body having a plurality of resilient or elastic arms that each have a detent for locking the connector to the component and retain electrical contact with the PCB. The wall of the heatsink defines an aperture for receiving the second connector and provides a locking surface that deflects the arms towards the body while engaging and cooperating with the detents to lock the connector to the PCB. The free end of the arms extend beyond the mounting wall and are actuated to unlock the connector from the PCB.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Valeo North America, Inc.Inventors: Brian Jeffrey Hunt, Jonathan Blandin

Patent number: 10218964Abstract: A dimensioning system that analyzes a distance map for null-data pixels to provide feedback is disclosed. Null-data pixels correspond to missing range data and having too many in a distance map may lead to dimensioning errors. Providing feedback based on the number of null-data pixels helps a user understand and adapt to different dimensioning conditions, promotes accuracy, and facilitates handheld applications.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: HAND HELD PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Franck Laffargue, Jeffrey Hunt

Patent number: 10060729Abstract: A handheld dimensioner with a user interface configured to present a quality indicator is disclosed. The handheld dimensioner is configured to capture three-dimensional (3D) data and assess the three-dimensional-data's quality. Based on this quality, a quality indicator may be generated and presented to a user via the user interface. This process may be repeated while the user repositions the handheld dimensioner. In this way, the user may use the quality indicators generated at different positions to find an optimal position for a particular dimension measurement.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Hand Held Products, Inc.Inventors: Franck Laffargue, Jeffrey Hunt, Scott Houle
