  • Patent number: 11129336
    Abstract: A dual rotary cutter bale processor operable in a first mode for producing ground material and dispersing ground material for a first use and a second mode for producing cut material and dispersing cut material from the processor for a second use, where the cut material is coarser than the ground material. Material is processed for feeding into a container, bunk, or tire, into windrows on the ground, making piles of material, spreading the material for use as animal bedding, and/or mulching newly seeded areas. A screen and moveable bypass door for each rotary cutter and a position of a deflector direct a cut path such that the bypass doors can be used to force the material through the screens to further reduce size of the material or the deflectors can be used so the material bypasses the screens for dispersal from the processor in a coarser state.

  • Patent number: 10955947
    Abstract: A touch sensor panel comprising a first touch node electrode of a plurality of touch node electrodes, the first touch node electrode coupled to a first sense connection comprising a first set of traces, the first sense connection configured to have a first resistance per unit length that varies along a length of the first sense connection, and a second touch node electrode of the plurality of touch node electrodes, the second touch node electrode coupled to a second sense connection comprising a second set of traces, the second sense connection configured to have a second resistance per unit length that varies along a length of the second sense connection differently than the first resistance per unit length varies along the length of the first sense connection. An effective resistance of the first sense connection and the second sense connection are equal.

  • Patent number: 10684677
    Abstract: A mixed-reality golf simulation system includes a ball-tracking sub-system to generate ball-tracking data when a golf ball is hit by a user, a near-eye display, a storage device to store images of a hole of a golf course associated with location coordinates of a plurality of locations along the hole, and a controller. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment from the perspective of a location on the hole based on images associated with the location, receive ball-tracking data including a landing location of a ball hit by the user, alert the user if the landing location is a target pin, and direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment from the perspective of the landing location based on images associated with the landing location if the landing location is not the target pin.

  • Patent number: 10409363
    Abstract: A mixed-reality golf simulation system includes a ball-tracking sub-system to generate ball-tracking data when a golf ball is hit by a user, a near-eye display, a storage device to store panoramic images of a hole of a golf course associated with location coordinates of a plurality of locations along the hole, and a controller. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment including a virtual reality scene from the perspective of a first location on the hole over based on images associated with location coordinates of the first location, receive ball-tracking data of a ball hit by the user in real-time, and direct the near-eye display to display the mixed-reality environment including a virtual reality scene from the perspective of a landing location of the ball based on images device associated with location coordinates of the landing location of the ball.

  • Patent number: 10380937
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for reducing VCOM settling periods. A number of pixels is sub-divided into a plurality of regions. The pixels are configured to transmit light. A common voltage (VCOM) driving circuit is configured to drive a common electrode of the pixels. Moreover, each of a number of VCOM driving circuits includes a variable resistor configured to be driven to a resistance level based at least in part on which region of the plurality of regions includes an active pixel within the region. Furthermore, a resistance level is set and based at least in part on where the active pixel is located.

  • Publication number: 20080020485
    Abstract: Device and methods for the removal of phospholipids from biological samples are disclosed and described. Removal of phospholipids may be desirable for the analysis of the phospholipids themselves, or to prevent the phospholipids from conflicting with and effectively masking other analytes in the sample for which identification or quantification is sought.

  • Publication number: 20050198935
    Abstract: A material reclaiming device is positioned below the bale forming of a round baler. The bale forming belts are spaced apart. The reclaiming device underlies a region to the bale chamber to catch material falling through the spaces between the bale forming belts and move the material forwardly, to be recycled or reclaimed into the in-feed region of the baler. A trough is provided under an in-feed drum to receive the material from the reclaiming device and cause such material to be carried with the incoming material into the bale forming chamber.
