Publication number: 20220210962Abstract: A row cleaner connected to a strip till machine and adapted to clear mulch and other debris encountered in strip or low till planting. A row cleaner frame assembly comprising: a pair of row cleaner arms and a pair of clearing wheels configured to have a toe-in alignment; wherein the pair of row cleaner arms share a common plane and are pivotally connected at a pair of pivot points common or close to the rotational axis of a cutting disc; wherein the cutting disc is disposed intermediate the pair of row cleaner arms; and wherein the row cleaner arms are configured to maintain the clearing wheels in a close-proximity to the cutting disc to provide stretch and cut row clearing operation with a biasing actuator for adjustability. An actuator pivotally adjusts the row cleaner assembly relative to the cutting disc. A pivot limiter restricts pivotal travel of the row cleaner to avoid damage to the actuator. A row closing section is provided and includes a lever adapted to adjust toe and/or camber of a closing wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventor: Ronald Steve Martin

Publication number: 20220210721Abstract: A communication technique for establishing communication among an access point, an electronic device, and a radio node in a cellular-telephone network is described. In this communication technique, the electronic device is pre-provisioned by the radio node with an identifier of the cellular-telephone network. Moreover, the access point may advertise support for one or more LWA protocols in beacons. In response to a query from the electronic device, the access point may provide identifiers of the one or more cellular-telephone networks supported by the access point. If one of these identifiers matches the identifier, the electronic device may associate with the access point. Then, the access point may receive LWA traffic from the radio node and may forward the LWA traffic to the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Steve A.

Patent number: 11246253Abstract: An apparatus and system for adjustably controlling the position and depth of row closer wheels in no-till planting applications, the apparatus comprising a frame, a piston movably secured at the top to the frame, upper and lower parallel arms disposed about the piston and movably secured at one end to the frame and at the other end to a hub stem, and a set of piston arms each movably secured at the top to one of the upper or lower parallel arms and at the other end to the bottom of the piston. A closing wheel assembly having a closing wheel frame and a set of closing wheels pivotally mounted to a lever on a single axle assembly allows the operator to change the angle at which the closing wheels intersect the ground surface during use. Accordingly, as the angle of the lever is manipulated, the angle of the closing wheel pivotally mounted to that lever changes in the vertical and/or horizontal dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Inventor: Ronald Steve Martin

Patent number: 11212562Abstract: Visual effects such as bleach bypass, sepia tone conversion, cross processing, custom effects, and many others may be applied to video streams before they are displayed to viewers. In some examples, different visual effects may be applied to the same underlying video content, such as on a viewer-by-viewer basis or at other levels of granularity, thereby allowing certain particular visual effects to be targeted to particular viewers/devices. The visual effects may be applied by one or more of a content provider, a video streaming service, one or more viewers, or by other entities. The visual effects may be applied based at least in part on instructions from the provider, such as one or more tags, for example that may be issued via an interface provided by a video streaming service.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Steve Martin Suhy, Kyle Roche

Publication number: 20210250849Abstract: During a communication technique, an access point provides a message that includes one or more public land mobile network identifiers of one or more cellular-telephone networks that are supported by the access point. Then, an electronic device, which received the message, provides a candidate list specifying one or more access points that support communication with a cellular telephone network to a radio node that is associated with this cellular-telephone network. By communicating with a wireless-local-area-network (WLAN) controller, the radio node validates the one or more access points, and selects a target access point based on performance feedback from the WLAN controller. Next, the radio node instructs the electronic device to associate with the target access point. Moreover, the radio node and the target access point establish a secure-communication pathway, which allows the radio node to communicate data to the electronic device via the access point using an LTE Wi-Fi aggregation protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Steve A.

Patent number: 11009934Abstract: To eliminate the adverse effects of power swings in a large scale computing system during the life cycle of an application or job, control of several operating characteristics for the collective group of processors is provided. By providing certain levels of coordination for the many processors utilized in large scale computing systems, significant and abrupt changes in power needs can be avoided. In certain circumstances, this may involve limiting the transition between several C-States of the processors involved and the overall power transitions for a large scale system are not detrimental and do not create issues for the data center or local power utility. Some cases will require stepped transitions between C-States, while other cases will include both stepped and modulated transitions. Other cases will incorporate random wait times at the various transitions in order to spread the power consumption involved.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Josh Williams, Steve Martin, Clark Snyder, David Rush, Matthew Kappel
