Abstract: Methods and systems for sensing a throughput of cut organic material conveyed through agricultural equipment such as an agricultural baler or the like. The system may include, and the method may be performed at least in part using, agricultural equipment including a feed mechanism that conveys the cut organic material through the agricultural equipment. The feed mechanism includes a rotor, a floor near the rotor, and a sensor that measures data proportional to a force exerted on the floor. The system includes a processor that correlates data proportional to the force exerted on the floor to a rate at which the cut organic material is conveyed through the feed mechanism.

The material may comprise in its chemical structure one or more instances of the bioreachable molecule. The material may comprise in its chemical structure the bioreachable molecule or at least one semi-synthetic molecule derived from the bioreachable molecule, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for low, or deep, dimming of a light-emitting diode (LED) load. In an example, a low dimming circuit can include a target current detector configured to provide an output indicative of a target current of a power stage of a pulse width modulated driver, and a control circuit configured to receive a PWM signal of the PWM LED driver, to control a first transition to a first state of a power switch of the power stage during an on-interval of a first PWM cycle of the PWM signal, and to control a second transition to the first state of the power switch using the output of the target current detector during an off interval of the first PWM cycle.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for low, or deep, dimming of a light-emitting diode (LED) load. In an example, a method for deep dimming a light-emitting diode (LED) load can include, when a current of an inductor does not reach a target current by the end of an on-time of a pulse-width modulation (PWM) switch cycle, and, during an initial on-time of the PWM switch cycle, allowing the current of the inductor to reach the target current during a next “off” time interval of the PWM switch cycle, wherein the inductor is coupled to the LED via a PWM switch, and in response to the current of the inductor reaching the target current before the end of the on-time of a subsequent PWM switch cycle, interrupting energizing of the inductor at the end of the on-time of the PWM switch cycle.

Abstract: A portable molding apparatus includes a lower portion including an extension device that is movable between an extended position and a retracted position, and a platform coupled to the extension device, an upper portion positioned above the lower portion, the upper portion including a base, a plurality of walls extending upward from the base, the plurality of walls defining a cavity bounded by the plurality of walls and the base, and a lid positioned over the cavity, a core positioned within the cavity defined by the plurality of walls, and a pin coupled to the core and extending downward from the core through the base, where the pin is spaced apart from the platform when the extension device is in the retracted position and the pin is engaged with the platform when the extension device is in the extended position.

Abstract: An incentive is to be securely provided. A security authentication identification is received. The security authentication identification is authenticated. Based at least in part on a random chance, a selected incentive value of the incentive to be awarded in the event an incentivized action is completed is selected. Access to at least a portion of an interactive computer game is allowed. An indication that the incentivized action has been completed is received. The indication that the incentivized action has been completed is validated. In the event the indication has been verified, the selected incentive value is awarded.

Abstract: A single reel game includes a single reel having a plurality of symbols that are adjacent to one another. The single reel then moves and follows a track that displays the symbols in a spatial order. The single reel is then stopped at a starting reel stop that provides a reference point for stopping the single reel. A win window displays the plurality of the single reel symbols. A payline is then overlaid on the symbols within the win window. The single reel game also includes a paytable that lists a plurality of payout prizes for each combination of symbols along the payline. A prize is awarded when the single reel game symbols along the payline match the paytable combination of symbols.

Abstract: A method and system of driving an LED load. There is a power stage that is configured to deliver a level of current indicated by a control signal to the LED load when a PWM signal is ON and stop delivering the level of current when the PWM signal is OFF. There is a feedback circuit that is configured to generate the operating point signal, which causes the power stage to deliver a level of current indicated by the control signal, when the PWM signal is ON. A store and hold circuit is configured to store an information indicative of a level of the operating point signal just after the PWM signal is turned OFF and cause the operating point signal to be at that level just before the PWM signal is turned ON.

Abstract: A method and system of driving an LED load. A driver is configured to deliver a level of current indicated by a control signal to the LED load when a PWM signal is ON and stop delivering the level of current when the PWM signal is OFF. An output capacitance element is coupled across a differential output of the LED driver. A feedback path, having a store circuit, is configured to store an information indicative of a first voltage level across the output capacitance element as a stored feedback reference signal just after the PWM signal is turned OFF. The feedback path causes the voltage across the output capacitance element to be at the first voltage level just before the PWM signal is turned ON.
