Abstract: An arrangement for actuating a shift element of a gearbox includes a rotatably mounted and preloaded shift pawl (2) and a shift ring (3) with an outer toothing (4) and assigned to a gearbox element. A first end (8) of the shift pawl (2) is assigned to the outer toothing (4) of the shift ring (3) so as to lock or release the shift ring (3) in order to shift a gear stage, and a second end (9) of the shift pawl (2) is assigned to a shift gate (6) of a shift drum (5) that actuates the shift pawl (2). The shift pawl (2) is operatively connected to at least one double torsion spring (10) in order to apply a preload force.

Abstract: An arrangement for actuating a shift element for a bottom bracket gearbox (1) includes a shift ring (4) rotatably mounted in a housing (3) and assigned to a gearbox component. A shift pawl (5) for locking or releasing the shift ring (4) is assigned to the shift ring (4) for shifting a gear stage. A support region mechanically reinforces the housing (3) and is provided at least along a contact region (14) between an inner wall (8) of the housing (3) and an outer circumference of the shift ring (4). The contact region (14) is defined by reaction forces (16) acting when the shift ring (4) is locked.

Abstract: A gear set arrangement (10) for a bicycle gearbox (400) includes a planetary assembly, a stationary component (24), a first and a second brake (B1, B2), and a first and a second freewheel clutch (F1, F2). One planetary gear set (12) of the planetary assembly includes a first rotary element, a second rotary element, and a third rotary element.

The second rotary element is rotationally fixable on the stationary component (24) by the second brake (B2). The second rotary element is connectable to the output (36) by the second freewheel clutch (F2). The third rotary element is connected to the input (34) for conjoint rotation. The gear set arrangement (10) is configured to provide three ratios.

Abstract: A method for determining setting recommendations for an agricultural spreader includes the steps of: determining an uneven spreading-material distribution in a usable agricultural area or an uneven nutritional status of plants in the usable agricultural area, determining an ideal balancing distribution of spreading material that balances out unevenness of the determined spreading-material distribution in the usable agricultural area or unevenness of the determined nutritional status of the plants in the usable agricultural area, and determining setting recommendations for the agricultural spreader for implementing a balancing distribution of the spreading material, wherein the balancing distribution approximates the ideal balancing distribution.

Abstract: A method for electronic wind compensation of a fertilizer spreader, a control system designed for this purpose and a fertilizer spreader equipped therewith are described. Accordingly, the latter discharges fertilizer onto an agricultural area by means of rotating spreading discs, wherein the positions of feed surfaces for the fertilizer on the spreading discs are set in dependence on desired ejection angles which are individually adapted for the spreading discs in a compensatory manner on the basis of a wind prevailing during discharge, in order to counteract a deviation, caused by the wind, of an actual transverse distribution of the fertilizer from a desired transverse distribution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining suitable spreading settings for an agricultural spreading machine (10) for achieving an intended spreading material distribution of a spreading material (30) across an agricultural area (12), comprising the steps of: determining the current ejection direction of the ejected spreading material (30) during a spreading operation and determining a suitable application point setting for the agricultural spreading machine (10) taking into account the determined current ejection direction of the ejected spreading material (30) and an ejection direction for the ejected spreading material (30) which is suitable for achieving the intended spreading material distribution during the spreading operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the throwing behavior of a centrifugal spreader for fertilizer and to a centrifugal spreader configured therefor. According thereto, a target throwing distance is determined for a target working width. Furthermore, one of several rotational speed levels is selected for at least one spreading disc to approximate the actual throwing distance to the target throwing distance. Finally, an adapted target throwing angle for regulating an actual throwing angle is determined from the actual throwing distance (WW1) and counteracts in a compensatory manner a deviation from the target working width caused be the difference between the actual throwing distance and the target throwing distance. Continuous regulation of the throwing distance then becomes unnecessary, resulting in more stable regulation of the overall throwing behavior.

Abstract: In order to correct for fixed pattern noise in the signals of an image sensor, image signal values are read out from the pixels of the sensor. Individual correction values are added as analogue quantities to the image signal values via a signal path having a defined transfer function. Parameters which are characteristic of the defined transfer function are provided in a memory and the individual correction values are calculated in a correction value calculating unit using the parameters provided.
