  • Patent number: 9426973
    Abstract: A method for reducing drift of sprayed droplets includes storing a fluid to be sprayed in a reservoir carried by a vehicle, and providing a metered flow of the first fluid to a spray nozzle, from where the fluid is injected into an atmosphere as sprayed droplets. A drift of the sprayed droplets is reduced by causing the sprayed droplets to absorb moisture from the atmosphere after they are sprayed from the spray nozzle, such that a mass of each of the sprayed droplets increases sufficiently to reduce a drift of the respective sprayed droplet in the wind.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080290199
    Abstract: An unloading mechanism capable of automatically unloading agricultural materials from a storage bag is disclosed. The unloading mechanism includes a collection mechanism, discharge mechanism and a sensor arrangement configured to engage the storage bag. The sensor arrangement controls the unloading mechanism so that it automatically advances in a direction towards the storage bag as material is unloaded therefrom.
