  • Patent number: 11483962
    Abstract: An apparatus for separating grains of seed or fertilizer includes a separating device having a housing with a housing base for mounting on an agricultural machine. A releasable housing cover is arranged on the housing base in a releasable manner. A grain sump receives the grains introduced into the housing interior to be separated out. A rotatable separating disc having openings is positioned in the housing interior. An overpressure region is formable in the housing cover on a front side of the separating disc during operation, such that a flow can form from the overpressure region through the openings to the rear side of the disc and grains separated can be localized near the openings. A grain transfer device includes a feed, a wall bushing and an outlet, wherein the separated grains can be introduced through the feed into the bushing and discharged from the housing interior through the bushing.

  • Patent number: 10638654
    Abstract: A single-grain sowing device comprising: a drum rotatable about an axis of rotation, a cavity formed in the drum, wherein an end face of the cavity is delimited by a sowing disc, in which multiple sowing holes are arranged on a notional circular path at a distance to each other, a body arranged in the cavity, rotatable about an axis arranged at a distance and parallel to the axis of rotation, with one part of the surface thereof resting against the sowing disc such that, when the sowing disc rotates, same temporarily seals a respective passed sowing hole on the inside, wherein the body can be rolled out on an outer casing surface surrounding the cavity, and a pressure spring, wherein the pressure spring presses the body against the casing surface.

  • Patent number: 6904042
    Abstract: For the flexible linking-up of a so-called home network to further data networks, a network coupling device, with which the home network can be coupled to a local area network, is provided. The network coupling device couples the two data networks on the data link layer of the OSI reference model and is consequently transparent with respect to all the higher protocol layers. The transparent coupling to a local area network provides the home network with access to the entire infrastructure of the local area network, and to all the further data networks accessible from the latter, without any additional expenditure.

  • Publication number: 20020071532
    Abstract: For interconnecting data networks which use cabling, which is actually provided for other purposes, as transmission medium for data packets, a private branch exchange is provided for connecting subscriber terminals via subscriber lines. The private branch exchange has an integrated interconnecting device via which data packets which are transmitted via the subscriber lines and which are coded into signals outside a frequency range used for communication with the subscriber terminals are extracted from a first subscriber line and extracted data packets are injected into a second subscriber line.
