Bales emanating from the discharge end of a baler are received on an accumulating trailer provided with a weighing scale that, in combination with an electrical system, automatically determines the weight of certain of the successively issuing bales and conveniently displays such weight to the operator in the cab of the towing vehicle so that the operator can monitor the quality and condition of bales prepared by the machine on an ongoing, non-stop basis. An onboard computer preferably forming a...

Apparatus (10) for transplanting of vegetables or other plants is provided which eliminates stoop labor while properly placing plants (142) within earth openings (84); at the same time, a measured quantity of liquid (42) is delivered to the opening (84). The apparatus (10) includes a pair of elongated, juxtaposed, frustoconical chamber (12, 14) each equipped with selectively actuatable stopper means (16, 18) adjacent the lower ends thereof. Actuation of a pivotal operating handle (90) simultaneo...

A compact vacuum therapy system useful in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction is provided which includes a pump body which is designed for removable mounting on a tube in both storage and operational positions. The pump body includes a reciprocable piston having a circumscribing groove of a width to permit axial shifting of an O-ring sealing member therewithin during movement of the piston within the pump body. The shifting sealing member thus acts as a valve to alternately seal and open a ...

A trailer having a tiltable main deck and a shiftable undercarriage includes an undercarriage assembly having a deck support structure mounted thereon for supporting the deck. The deck support structure includes lifting arms for lifting the elongated deck assembly relative to the undercarriage independently of the undercarriage shifting mechanism so that the deck may be lifted relative to the undercarriage without simultaneouly shifting the undercarriage along the deck. The trailer may include a...

A control assembly for mechanically transmitting a signal from a sending unit to a receiving element is provided which enables the receiving unit to respond to shifting of the sending unit for reducing perceived hysteresis losses during shifting. The sending unit includes a wear plate defining a series of positions thereon for engagement by a shiftable control arm. The control arm is connected by a cable to the receiving element which includes an indicator on a mounting member. During initial sh...

A volumetric apparatus for portioning fluidic material into fractions of predetermined size includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet, and a piston movable in the housing and defining a product portioning chamber and a compression chamber. Fluidic material is fed into the product portioning chamber through the inlet under pressure when the inlet is open and the outlet is closed, the pressurized fluidic material forcing the piston from a first position by a preset distance such that a pred...

A method is disclosed for quantifying the amounts of physiological metals required to eliminate aluminum from the blood serum of a human patient. The preferred method uses a computer to calculate corrective amounts of deficinet physiological metals required to restore physiological saline conductivity reduced by the presence of aluminum.

A method and computer program for simultaneously displaying very large sets of quantitative data. The method and computer program permit the display of quantitative data without first standardizing the data. The method and computer program also permit an observer to display the data space under user controlled color mappings, to select color spectrums to emphasize or hide certain data or certain characteristics, and to move over and fly through the data space to identify and analyze areas of int...

An improved modified sulfur concrete product is provided in the form of discrete, self-sustaining pellets of modified sulfur concrete which can be shipped and stored for indefinite periods and remelted to yield useable concrete. The pellets are preferably formed by first preparing a quantity of hot modified sulfur concrete (74), followed by passing such concrete (74) into a pelletizing chamber (12) equipped with an elongated auger-type, axially rotatable mixing element (14) and apparatus (16) fo...

The bearing assembly includes a synthetic resinous collar which circumscribes the tube and oscillates therewith against the inside of a metal bushing wedged within a metal housing that is bolted to the adjacent tine tube carrier arm of the reel. The bushing is constructed from a pair of generally semicircular half-sections that are abutted together to make a complete annulus when held within the housing, thereby permitting removal of the bushing from the tube by simply separating the two half-se...
