Abstract: A wear part and retainer system in combination, for earthmoving and mining equipment, the wear part having a first passage extending therethrough in one direction and a second passage extending in a direction lateral to and intersecting the first passage. The first and second passages each have an outer end and an inner end. A latching member is mounted in the first passage for movement between a non-latching position and a latching position in which it locks the wear part to a mother part. The latching member has a recess therein and a biasing element mounted in the recess. A locking pin is mounted in the second passage for selective movement along the passage between a retracted position in which the latching member is free to move into and out of the recess and an extended position in which it locks the latch in the latching position.

Abstract: A system that accelerates learning retention and behavior change provides users with automated actionable prompts targeted to specific behavioral growth areas that are concurrently matched to the topic of a scheduled meeting in a calendaring system. Users receive various forms of feedback from selected meeting participants and other agents, such as a video recording of the meeting. The system generates a metric control based on the execution of the actionable prompt. A closed loop system is formed by applying the feedback, agent input, scoring, and historical usage from the user and other users of the system as inputs to the system for adaptive learning.

Abstract: An inbound communication is received by a contact center. For example, the inbound communication may be a text-based communication. The inbound communication is classified based on feedback from one or more prior inbound communications. For example, the feedback may be based on whether a previous communication was transferred, was dropped, based on feedback provided by a contact center agent, based on feedback provided by a user, and/or the like. In response to classifying the first inbound communication, the inbound communication is routed differently in the contact center. For example, the inbound communication is routed to a different contact center queue based on the feedback of the previous communication.

Abstract: A cutting assembly comprising a drive arm assembly and knife head assembly for a header of a plant-cutting machine is disclosed. The drive arm assembly generally includes a drive unit connected to a pivotable drive member and a bearing element with a rounded head. The knife head assembly generally includes a mounting bar and a clamping portion that collectively form a cavity for receiving the bearing element and forming a pivot joint. The knife head assembly is attached to a cutter bar such that the operation of the drive unit causes the cutter bar to have substantially linear motion by way of the pivot joint.

Abstract: An end link for use with heavy equipment includes a body and a swivel ball bushing. The body has first and second openings and defines a main body plane. The first opening has a slot located on a side thereof proximate the second opening and a truncated substantially spherical inner surface. The swivel ball bushing is seated within the first opening. The swivel ball bushing has a truncated substantially spherical outer surface in nesting engagement with the inner surface of the body and a projection at one end seated in the slot. The projection and slot are shaped to allow rotation of the swivel ball bushing relative to the body in two opposing directions about one axis of rotation or two mutually perpendicular axes of rotation.

Abstract: A spreader bar including two spaced apart opposite end portions, each end portion having a first connection point for connecting a lower hoist chain thereto and a second connection point for connecting an upper hoist chain thereto, said second connection point being spaced from said first connection point towards the opposite end portion by a first predetermined distance, said predetermined distance being selected such that in use an upper hoist chain connected thereto makes a smaller angle with the longitudinal axis of the spreader bar than would an upper hoist chain connected to the first connection point.

Abstract: An improved automatic height adjustment system for use with a header of an agricultural harvester is provided. The system includes apparatus and methods utilizing detection of a light beam at or near the skid plate of a header to adjust the height of the header relative to the ground surface. The apparatus includes an emitter for emitting a beam of light to a receiver. An apertured sensor guide is positioned between the emitter and the receiver. The sensor guide is in communication with a controller. If the body of the sensor guide is detected as blocking passage of light to the receiver then the controller operates an extensible actuator to raise or lower the header relative to the ground surface. The system provides rapid header height adjustment in response to detected changes in elevation of the skid plate as the harvester traverses a crop field.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods, apparatus and user interfaces for gaming and wagering for events, such as horse and greyhound racing, roulette and other events. According to some embodiments, the system comprises a receiver to receive first inputs relating to one or more events. The first inputs can include a stake, at least two selections in at least one of the events, such as two horses and at least one input relating to one or more bet types, such as a reward level. A determination device is connectable to the receiver to automatically determine wagers according to the first inputs. The determined wagers include a distribution of the stake between one or more bet types involving the at least two selections in proportion to a probability of bets making up the bet types yielding a return.

Abstract: A stud end link comprises a main body having first and second openings and a swivel ball bushing. The first opening and swivel ball each have truncated spherical surfaces to allow the swivel ball to be seated within the first opening, while permitting the swivel ball to pivot a limited amount about a lateral axis within the first opening. The first opening includes a slot to facilitate installation and removal of the swivel ball. In some implementations, the swivel ball includes a tab which matingly fits within the slot to prevent rotation of the swivel ball about an axis perpendicular to the main body.

The clamping device includes one resilient lined sidewall of which is movable by means of a hand-operated screw in order to clamp the hanger to the support. The resilient interior walls of the clamp provide a solid yet non-damaging surface area to hold the hanger securely to a vertical support structure of a screen enclosure.

Abstract: A device performs oxygen flight planning calculations for estimating oxygen usage. The device includes a storage device, an input device for inputting a known flight parameter value into the storage device, and an output device for outputting the known flight parameter value input by the input device. A logic device is configured to control the storage device, the input device, the output device and provide to the output device a further flight parameter. A value of the further flight parameter is calculable by the logic device from the known flight parameter value previously input into the storage device. Upon the further flight parameter being selected by use of the input device, the logic device calculates the value of the further flight parameter and provides the value of the further flight parameter to the output device.
