20090327154 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MONITORING COLLATERALIZATION OF PUBLIC-DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS - The present invention provides systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring collateral positions of public-deposit accounts so as to efficiently pledge collateral to under-collateralized positions and release collateral from over-collateralized positions. For example, when a customer deposits additional funds, which results in an uninsured balance that exceeds the allocated collateral, the present invention may identify that account as being under-collateralized, determine the pledge amount required to properly collateralize the account, and then create, submit and track a pledge request that corresponds to the required pledge amount. Likewise, when a customer withdraws funds from a public-deposit account, which results in an uninsured balance that is less than the allocated collateral, the present invention may identify that account as being over-collateralized, determine the appropriate release amount, and then create, submit and track a release request that corresponds to the determined release amount. | 12-31-2009 |

20120204742 | Agricultural Vehicle with an Access Panel Latch - A latch incorporates an interlock for preventing opening of the access panel while it is determined that the flywheel is rotating. In this way the operator can only raise the hood or open one of the side doors to provide access to the workings of the baler when it is safe. | 08-16-2012 |
20130076103 | Support wheel assembly for a pick-up of an agricultural machine - The assembly comprises a beam, a support wheel rotatably mounted on an axle carried by the beam with a stub shaft. A hole in the frame of the baler which receives the stub shaft includes at least one radial recess dimensioned to permit the radially projecting arm to pass through the hole when aligned with the recess, the arm preventing the stub shaft from moving axially relative to the frame when misaligned with the recess. | 03-28-2013 |
20130180418 | Bale Chamber Configurations - A baler for manufacturing bales of harvested crop material comprises a bale chamber comprising a first part where a plunger can make a reciprocating movement, and a second part which cannot be reached by the reciprocating plunger. The second part has a varying cross section along the length direction of the bale chamber, whereby the rate of change of the cross sections is different at multiple positions along the length direction of the second part of the bale chamber. | 07-18-2013 |
20140041536 | Agricultural Square Baler - An agricultural baler comprising a controller, sensor and an actuator connected such that in a first position of a bale chute upon sensing of the movement of a completed bale ready to be lowered by the sensor a signal indicative of said movement is fed to the controller by the sensor upon which the controller controls an actuator such that the bale chute is pivoted to the second position which is sufficiently inclined to the horizontal such that the trailing end is sufficiently lowered to prevent a completed bale from toppling or being damaged, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator such that the bale chute is pivoted from the first position to the second position after receiving the signal indicative of movement from the sensor. | 02-13-2014 |

20100139229 | Header for a forage harvester - A coppice header for a forage harvester adapted to be mounted on and powered by a forage harvester. The header including at the front side two circular rotatable knives, a feeding drum being mounted above each knife, said drums being rotatable about the same rotation axis as the respective knives, wherein each feeding drum is equipped with one or more flat hook-shaped extensions adapted to grab the cut stems in the region immediately above the rotatable knives. The header may also be provided with a front feed roll placed behind the knives and two additional feed rolls placed behind the front feed roll, wherein the front feed roll is equipped with guiding blades along the length of the feed roll. The blades have a central protrusion, so that the blades are longer in a region around the middle of the blade than at the lateral ends of the blades. | 06-10-2010 |

20130203485 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS USING NETWORKED GAMING DEVICES - The invention includes a system and method for conducting a focus group via networked gaming devices. A slot server or a third party server in communication with gaming devices provides access to players operating the gaming devices. A topic for the focus group's discussion is received from a marketer via a marketer terminal in communication with the slot server. The system identifies players currently operating gaming devices who also are suitable potential participants in the focus group based on a focus group pool definition received from the marketer. Those players that accept an invitation to participate, become participants. The topic is communicated to the participants and the participants comments are relayed back to a moderator who controls the focus group discussion via a moderator terminal (and a graphical user interface) also in communication with the slot server. The moderator (and/or the system) verifies that each of the participants is in fact participating in the focus group and compensation is provided to the participants via the gaming devices. | 08-08-2013 |

20090014437 | GLASS-COATED METALLIC FILAMENT CABLES FOR USE IN ELECTRICAL HEATABLE TEXTILES - The present invention provides a heating element with electrically insulated metallic filaments wherein those metallic filaments have a diameter of 2 to 200 μm, each metallic filament is separately electrically insulated and the electric insulation is a continuous and coherent glass coating. This provides thus a product which is very corrosion and oxidation resistant and has a high cut resistance. The high cut resistance makes it highly suitable for being sewn in textiles, e.g. in car seating. A further advantage of the invention is the small dimensions of the material used which make it more flexible thereby increasing the wear resistance and also increasing the flexibility for use, e.g. weaving, knitting or braiding the product into textile products. The metallic filaments can be of a metal with a specific electrical resistance between 17 and 2000 Ω.mm | 01-15-2009 |
