  • Publication number: 20240164377
    Abstract: Water conditioner compositions that do not promote the volatility loss of auxin containing herbicides are described. In addition to counteracting the effects of hard water on some herbicides, the compositions also act as a buffer to control pH of spray mixture formulations to between 5 and 10. Optionally other additives, such as surfactants, anti-drift agents, and/or defoamers can be included in the water conditioner compositions.

  • Patent number: 11988542
    Abstract: A filling level monitoring device for monitoring a filling level of a fluid in a container includes exciter(s), sensor(s), a signal source connected to the exciter(s), a processor, at least one spatial orientation and acceleration sensor, and a filling level indicator. The device uses the signal source and the exciter(s) to couple vibrational loads having multiple frequency components into the container. Sensors measure vibrations in the container after the exciters transmit the vibrational loads into the container. The processor performs spectral analysis of the input signal and of vibration signals from the sensors, comparing these respective spectral functions to extract resonance frequencies of the container, which are based on the spatial orientation of the container.

  • Patent number: 8684165
    Abstract: The present device is a collator and an infeed conveyor wherein the collator receives product from the infeed conveyor at an infeed point of the infeed conveyor. The product includes a flat side and an edge side and the collator and infeed conveyor are adapted to select between delivery of the product to the collator at an on flat load position and delivery of the product to the collator at an on edge load position. Preferably the collator includes an adjustment mechanism for urging the collator between a left position and a right position and the conveyor includes an height adjustment mechanism for urging the conveyor between a raised position and a lowered position.
