Publication number: 20240104533Abstract: A screen-less automated teller machine (ATM) may be configured to interact with a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. As the ATM is screen-less, banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. An application on the mobile device may be used to access and interact with the ATM using the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Arjun Thimmareddy, Bryan T.

Publication number: 20240095698Abstract: Methods for banking at an automated teller machine (ATM) using a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device and to view banking-related information on the mobile device. A mobile application on the mobile device may be used to access the ATM using the mobile device. While a mobile device is accessing the ATM, a screen on the ATM may become inactive for banking services and the option to select banking services directly at the ATM may be disabled.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Arjun Thimmareddy, Bryan T. King, Alexander S. Lee, Vaishnavi Varma, Tony Aidoo, Paula M. Booze, Ramesh B. Chandanala, William R. Conrad, Juliet Abdul-Aziz, Gerard P. Gay

Patent number: 10182528Abstract: A draper belt assembly may include a roller and a web. The roller may include a first groove having a first interior side surface facing in a first direction and a second groove having a second interior side surface facing in the first direction. The draper belt may include a web, and first and second elastomeric belt guides received within the first groove and the second groove, respectively. The first belt guide may have a first exterior side surface facing in a second direction opposite the first direction and axially spaced from the first interior side surface by first distance. The second belt guide may have a second exterior side surface facing in the second direction, axially spaced from the second interior side surface by second distance greater than the first distance in absence of axial loads to the draper belt.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Anthony M. Hasenour, Alexander B. Lassers, William P. Conrad, Joshua R. Pierson, Volnei Cristiano Gerhardt

Patent number: 8495855Abstract: A draper header has an endless belt conveyor supported on two arms that pivot with respect to the frame of the draper header. Both ends of the conveyor belt are supported on the arms such that the ends of the conveyor belt can rotate about respective generally vertical axes to thereby reduce uneven tension across the fore and aft width of the conveyor belt and reduce wear on the conveyor belt.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: William P Conrad, Chad A Dow

Patent number: 8438823Abstract: An agricultural harvesting machine including a flexible cutterbar and associated draper belts for carrying cut agricultural material to a center location. The belts are guided by a drive rollers and idler rollers. The idler roller for each belt is pivotable about an axis generally at 90 degrees to the axis of the belt and the drive roller for each belt is translatable axially to minimize diagonal stresses caused by flexing of the elongated endless belt.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Chad A. Dow, William P. Conrad, Jeffrey A. Nelson, Benjamin M. Lovett, Amy C. Berg, Eric D. Taflinger
