  • Patent number: 10869429
    Abstract: An illumination device, which may include a plurality of housing members, a plurality of light emitting elements arranged on each of the housing members, a motor coupled to the housing members to rotate them about a central axis, a sensor system for providing a signal in response to a condition of an area of interest, and control system for controlling the rotational speed of the motor, and selectively energizing the light emitting elements in response to the signal from the sensor, to provide the desired target area with a desired illumination output.

  • Patent number: 7575467
    Abstract: An electrically safe receptacle that in it's normal quiescent state will not have electrical current flow. Said electrically safe receptacle will be equipped with normally-open switches on one or both female conductors that are controlled by a strategically placed sensor to detect the insertion of a male plug. Detection of the male plug insertion will signal the normally open switches to close the circuit pathway and allow for the flow of electrical current to the device permitting normal operation. Insertion of a foreign conductive device such as a hair pin, knife blade, or metallic tool in one or both female conductors will fail to activate the sensor and thereby reduce or eliminate the possibility of accidental electrocution by preventing the flow of electrical current.

  • Patent number: 6006504
    Abstract: A large round baler includes a net wrapping device mounted to the rear and bottom of the discharge gate of the baler. A spare roll of net material is stored above an active roll of net material which rests upon and is caused to be rotated by the upper roll of a pair of net material feed rolls. The rolls of material are wider than the baling chamber of the baler and net spreader rolls, including both raised spirals and spiral grooves, are provided along the net feed path so that the net is at its full width when it arrives at the inlet to the bale chamber which is located at a lower bale-forming belt support roll extending between opposite sidewalls of the gate at the lower front of the gate. A pair of guide plates are mounted to the insides of the bale chamber sidewalls and extend about an upper portion of the circumference of a net spreader rolls located at the opposite ends of the belt support roll.
