Abstract: The present invention provides an improved tine assembly for use with conventional agricultural equipment and systems. According to a first preferred embodiment, the tine assembly of the present invention may preferably include a pair of tine teeth with hooked ends embedded within a rubber base. According to a further preferred embodiment, the improved tine assembly includes a steel base plate attached to the underside of the rubber base. Additionally, the steel base plate preferably includes lateral tabs which connect to the base plate and mechanically engage with the hooked ends of each tooth.

Abstract: Strategies are described for analyzing test data received from tests performed on a fire pump, and then automatically computing an overall grade (e.g., excellent, good, fair, or poor) which reflects how the analyzed test data compares with reference data. A standard curve or a manufacturer's curve can serve as the baseline reference data. The output grades can be conveyed in tabular form or graphical form. In the graphical form, the analyzed test data can be plotted for comparison with plural reference curves, where the reference curves demarcate ranges associated with the possible grades.
