Abstract: A system for transmitting power and data between two circuit boards may include a fixed circuit board having a primary coil and a rotatable circuit board having a secondary coil. The system may further include a sensor in communication with the secondary coil of the rotatable circuit board. The fixed circuit board's primary coil may be inductively coupled to the secondary coil and may provide power and receive data from the sensor when inductively coupled to the secondary coil.

Abstract: A pumping assembly is provided which is suitable for use in a variety of dosing pumps. The pumping assembly comprises a pump body with a pump bore, and a sleeve fixed within the pump bore. The sleeve has a first end, a second end and a sleeve bore. A plunger is adapted to enter the first end of the sleeve and to reciprocate within the sleeve bore. The sleeve has at least one port to allow fluid flow through a wall of the sleeve. The, or each, port is elongated in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction of reciprocation.

Abstract: A light-weight, air-cooled transmit/receive unit is provided, including a first external cover member, an opposed second external cover member, and a central housing unit, including thermal management means, interposed between the first and second external cover members. A transmit/receive circuit board, including components and an integrated and common radiating element for at least one channel, is interposed between a first surface of the central housing unit and the first external cover member, and a controller circuit board and a power converter circuit board are interposed between an opposed second surface of the central housing unit and the second external cover member.

Abstract: A portable concrete batch plant which may be pulled from one location to another and which may be used either as a transit mix batch plant or a central mix batch plant. The batch plant is mounted on a wheeled frame comprised of a rear frame section and a front frame section removeably secured thereto. The batch plant is transported from one location to another with the rear and front frame sections connected together. If the batch plant is desired to be used as a transit mix plant, the front and rear frame sections remain connected together. If it is desired to use the concrete batch plant as a central mix batch plant, the front and rear frame sections are separated with the front frame section being spaced horizontally and vertically from the rear frame section with an extension conveyor being positioned there between.

Abstract: A center pivot irrigation system having an elongated concuit assembly with an inner end pivotally connected to a water source at a center pivot and having a plurality of discharge nozzles at spaced intervals along its length has one or more short range and a long range end gun mounted near the outer end of the conduit for irrigating the corner areas of a rectangular or square field. The long range end gun is adjusted to have a spray pattern which extends inwardly to provide water to that area normally irrigated by the sprinklers along the outer section of conduit in addition to an area extending beyond the outer edge of the arc farther than that covered by the short range guns. By turning off sprinklers along a section of conduit, water is diverted to help provide a sufficient pressure and flow rate as is necessary for efficient operation of the long range end gun.
