Abstract: A spreader assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a frame member and a rotor assembly attached to the frame member. The rotor assembly includes one or more rotary spreaders and a housing partially surrounding the one or more rotary spreaders. A transition hood is mounted to and/or positioned against the housing of the rotor assembly. A windrow chute is mounted to the frame member, wherein the windrow chute is pivotable about a window chute rotational axis between a deployed position and a retracted position. In the deployed position, the windrow chute blocks the transition hood to either limit or prevent removal of the transition hood in a longitudinal direction, and in the retracted position, the windrow chute permits access to and removal of the transition hood in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system with a power management device, a wakeup circuit, a battery management device, and a connector. During a powered down mode of operation, the battery management device can provide, via the connector, a bias voltage to the wakeup circuit. In response to a wakeup switch being activated, the battery management device can provide a power supply (e.g., from a battery) to the power management device. Benefits of the wakeup circuit include (1) a reduction of battery consumption—and thus improving battery lifetime—when the electronic system is in a powered down mode of operation because the wakeup circuit has lower number of active components compared to other designs and (2) a non-complex wakeup circuit design because one or more existing connector interconnects between the power management device and the battery management device can be re-used during electronic system's powered down mode of operation.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems for providing color-selective light detection and/or image sensing in a substantially lossless manner, thereby providing higher and up to nearly perfect optical efficiency. Embodiments disclosed herein include a plurality of pixel-repeat units, each including a color router that is configured to selectively route photons of each wavelength signal in a light signal to a different photodetector of the pixel-repeat unit. In some embodiments, the color router also functions as an anti-reflection coating that mitigates reflection of incident light, as well as a lensing system that directs substantially all photons of each wavelength signal only to their corresponding photodetector. As a result, the photodetectors collect more light than possible using prior-art absorptive color filters, thereby enabling smaller photodetectors to be used. Therefore, scaling of image sensor photodetectors to sub-wavelength sizes is possible.

Abstract: A meta-crystal slab includes photonic structure with an input surface and an output surface, and a plurality of first voxels with a first permittivity and a plurality of second voxels with a second permittivity not equal to the first permittivity disposed between the input surface and the output surface. The photonic structure has a periodicity greater than an operating photonic wavelength ‘?’ for general convolution by the photonic structure and the photonic structure is configured to provide an output image with a convolution of an input image.
