Patent number: 12377643Abstract: A crop storage bag (1) made is of a high-strength textile (7) material which is extrusion-coated or laminated with a multilayer film (8) that comprises an insecticidal layer (9) in addition to a hermetic layer (10) which prevents oxygen from entering the bag. This oxygen barrier suffocates the insects inside the bag, and the insecticide kills insects that try to bore through the bag.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2024Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: VESTERGAARD SÀRLInventors: Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, Thomas Weis, Allan Mortensen

Patent number: 11230456Abstract: In one embodiment, a braking apparatus includes a pair of brake shoes, a cam follower connected to at least one of the shoes, a compressible spring connected to the cam follower, and an actuation assembly including a motor, a ball screw and an electromagnetic clutch. The braking apparatus is operative to transition from a brake applied position where the brake shoes are closed and a brake release position where the brake shoes are separated. When the braking apparatus is in the brake release position, a brake application may be commenced to close the shoes by power no longer being supplied to the electromagnetic clutch. Additionally, when the braking apparatus is undergoing a brake release cycle to separate the brake shoes, the brake application cycle may also be commenced prior to completion of the brake release cycle when power is no longer supplied to the electromagnetic clutch and the motor.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: G.A.L.

Patent number: 9669872Abstract: A system and method assists a driver of a host vehicle in potential lane change situations. The method includes producing sensor data by a sensor physically sensing the environment of the host vehicle, predicting future movement behavior of at least one sensed vehicle, and determining whether a gap on a neighboring lane of the host vehicle exists. If the neighboring lane of the host vehicle would fit better for the predicted future movement behavior, a recommendation information signal is generated. Feasibility is determined by combining the determination result of the existence of a gap and the predicted future behavior. A notification for the host vehicle is output or, if lane change is feasible, signals for performing autonomous lane change based upon the recommendation information signal by the host vehicle are output.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: HONDA RESEARCH INSTITUTE EUROPE GMBHInventors: Sven Rebhan, Jens Schmüdderich, Marcus Kleinehagenbrock, Thomas Weiβwange
