  • Patent number: 10945364
    Abstract: A method includes performing a plurality of calibration routines in which a metering element operates at different speeds. The method also includes receiving a respective plurality of measurements of commodity amounts metered out during the calibration routines. The method further includes generating a calibration factor for operating the metering element based on data generated from the measurements taken from the calibration routines. Also, the method includes generating a control command for the metering element according to the calibration factor. The method additionally includes operating, by the control system, the metering element according to the control command.

  • Patent number: 4846191
    Abstract: Measurement of a physiological pressure is accomplished by placement of a pressure transmitting catheter within a blood vessel or other structure within which pressure is to be measured. The catheter is blood-compatible, capable of withstanding handling during distribution and implantation, and provides adequate pressure transmission frequency response in a variety of applications. The catheter, which includes a hollow flexible tube filled with a low viscosity fluid and having a plug of a gel-like material at its distal end, transmits the pressure signal to a solid-state transducer which is typically connected to amplifying electronics and an implantable radio-transmitter capable of relaying the pressure information from within the body to a radio receiver located external to the body.
