Abstract: A baler for making large cylindrical bales is equipped with a device for controlling the placement of a bale after it is discharged. The bale control device is coupled to fixed forward side wall sections of the baling chamber and is selectively operated such that front and rear bale control members of the device are respectively located behind and forward of a space into which a completed bale may be discharged. Thereafter, the bale control members are moved to the rear in to a location wherein the front bale control member holds the discharged bale to the rear of a path traced by the discharge gate when it swings between a raised discharge position and a lowered baling position. The rear bale control member engages a discharged bale so as to halt the rolling inertia imparted to the bale during discharge, the front and rear bale control members thus cooperating for locating the bale at rest.

Abstract: A large round baler includes a crop pick-up having a tined reel for lifting a windrow of crop to a secondary feeder which moves the crop into the baling chamber. Crop feeding is aided by an integrated crop baffle and hold-down assembly suspended from the baler frame for vertical floating movement by a trailing four-bar linkage arrangement. The baffle is located ahead of the pick-up tine reel, and the compressor rods extending rearwardly over the reel from a location close to an upper rear region of the baffle to a region beneath a bale starter roll. The linkage arrangement controls the movement of the integrated crop baffle and hold-down assembly such that the assembly quickly adjusts to varying windrow thickness, and so that interference between the starter roll and the rear sections of the crop hold-down compressor is avoided.

Abstract: A roller assembly for use with an agricultural baler is configured to be mounted to a housing of the baler in a manner that avoids transmitting an undue axial load to a bearing of the roller assembly. An assogated method is disclosed.

Abstract: A plurality of memory modules used in a computer system each include a memory hub that is connected to a plurality of memory devices. The memory modules are connected to each other in series so that signals are coupled between the memory modules and the memory hub controller through any intervening memory modules. The signals are coupled to and from the memory modules through high-speed bit-lanes. In the a bit-lane connected to any of the memory hubs is inoperative, the memory hub re-routes signals that would be coupled through the inoperative bit-lane to an adjacent bit lane. When the signal reaches a memory hub in which the bit-lane is no longer inoperative, the memory hub routes the signal back to the original bit lane. In this manner, multiple bit-lane failures can be accommodated using a signal extra bit-lane.
