Abstract: A combined baler/bale wrapper (1) includes a chassis (5) on which a baler (10) and a bale wrapper (11) are mounted. The baler (10) includes a stationary segment (18), a lower segment (19) and an upper segment (20) which together define a bale forming chamber (15) within which a round bale (2) is formed. The lower segment (19) and the upper segment (20) are pivotal from a bale forming position (FIG. 5) to a discharge position (FIG. 1) for transferring a bale of the bale forming chamber (15) onto bale supporting rollers (50) of the bale wrapper (11). The bale supporting rollers (50) rotate the bale (2) about a first wrapping axis (53) while a carrier ring (55) simultaneously revolves a pair of wrapping material dispensers (54) about a second wrapping axis (56) for dispensing wrapping material onto the bale (2).

The baler (10) comprises a stationary segment (18), a lower segment (19) and an upper segment (20) all of which carry bale forming rollers (25) which define a bale forming chamber (15) within which a round bale (2) is formed. The lower segment (19) and the upper segment (20) are pivotal about first and second pivot axes (35,40), respectively from a bale forming position (FIG. 5) to a discharge position (FIG. 1) for transferring a bale upwardly rearwardly from of the bale forming chamber (15) directly onto first and second bale supporting rollers (50) of the bale wrapper (11). The bale supporting rollers (50) rotate the bale (2) about a first wrapping axis (53) while a carrier ring (55) simultaneously revolves a pair of wrapping material dispensers (54) about a second horizontal wrapping axis (56) for dispensing wrapping material onto the bale (2) for wrapping thereof.

Abstract: A computing system is provided that comprises a portable, hand-held computer comprising a display and a plurality of cursor control keys; and a proxy server coupled to the portable computer by a data link. A proxy server is also coupled to at least one remote server on the Internet. The portable computer is adapted to activate a menu comprised of a plurality of entries. Each entry corresponds to at least one mark-up language file to be accessed by the user. The method disclosed herein provides a shorthand way of requesting mark-up language files using one hand and a minimal number of keystrokes. Once the proxy server receives the file, it separates the file into viewable segments and sends the first viewable segment to the portable computer.

Abstract: Baling apparatus (1) for forming a bale (2) of grass, hay, straw or the like and for wrapping the bale (2) in non-perforated plastics sheet wrapping material (64, 71) comprises a chassis (10), a baler (16) mounted on the chassis (10) within which the bale (2) is formed, and a pair of bale supporting rollers (54, 55) on which the bale is supported and rotated during wrapping. An upper segment (21) and a lower segment (22) of the baler (16) are pivotal upwardly for transferring a bale from the baler (16) to the bale supporting rollers (54, 55). A first dispenser (63) and a holding mechanism (65) extend wrapping material (64) across a discharge opening (40) through which the bale (2) is transferred from the baler (16) so that as the bale is being transferred onto the bale supporting rollers (54, 55), wrapping sheet material (64) is drawn from the first dispenser (63) around approximately 180° of the circumferential surface (5) of the bale (2) and extends around corner edges (8) of the bale (2).

Abstract: A method of configuring an architecture for provision of mobile access to a wireless communication device provides a structured framework for defining a preferential configuration of the architecture. A target list of resources is established with respect to mobile access of a wireless communication device. A set of components, associated with each established resource, is retrieved to form a menu of components of an architecture. Component data, associated with respective components, is presented to facilitate the defining of a preferential configuration. An arrangement is selected of the components from the menu to form the preferential configuration of the architecture.

Abstract: of the Disclosure An Internet-enabled appoint and reservation service system includes an Internet-connected appointment server executing a software suite, and one or more subscribing businesses to the service, the businesses having receiving apparatus enabling receipt of appointment schedules from the appointment server. The appointment server presents an interactive interface to browsing clients, the interactive interface enabling the clients to select the businesses and make an appointment or reservation with the businesses, and wherein the appointment server periodically provides updated appointment schedules to the subscribing businesses via the receiving apparatus. Subscribing businesses may operate with a personal computer connecting to the server. Businesses are grouped on the server into geographic groups and clients are enabled to select groups, then individual businesses, and then to accomplish appointments.
