Abstract:

A first leg extends upward from the left frame and a second leg extends upward from the right frame to connect the legs to the beam. One or more satellite navigation receivers are associated with beam to determine a position and an attitude of the beam. One or more row units are suspended from the beam, such that the position of nozzle or nozzles on each row unit can be adjusted simultaneously and dynamically in multiple dimensions to maintain a target spacing between the nozzle and ground and the nozzle and a plant or row of plants.

Abstract:

In accordance with one embodiment, a row unit for an agricultural vehicle comprises an upper carriage that is movable or slidable with respect to a generally horizontal beam of the vehicle. The row unit has vertical supports, where each vertical support has an upper end connected to the upper carriage and a lower end opposite the upper end. The row unit further comprises a lower carriage that is connected to the lower end of the vertical supports, such that the upper carriage determines a lateral position of the lower carriage with respect to the beam.

Abstract:

An agricultural vehicle comprises a left frame and a right frame. A left wheel is rotatable with respect to the left frame and a right wheel is rotatable with respect to the right frame. A first leg extends upward from the left frame and a second leg extends upward from the right frame to connect the legs to the beam. A data processor estimates a reference point on or below the vehicle and an angular orientation or attitude of the beam relative to the reference point based on positions of location-determining receivers associated with the beam. An upper carriage is laterally movable along the beam. A lower carriage is suspended from the upper carriage by a plurality of vertical supports, such that a target lateral position of the upper carriage establishes an actual lateral position of the lower carriage.

Inventors:

Scott Edwin Strasburger - Lincoln NE, US
Curtis Bryan Carlson - Hickman NE, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/37
A61F 5/01

Abstract:

A shoulder and arm support for supporting either the left or right shoulder and arm of a patient. The support includes a case, a removable support member, and a sling which houses a shoulder strap secured thereto and a body strap secured thereto. The case houses an interior compartment in which a resilient cushion and an inflatable bladder are positioned. The case includes an outer panel which is pivotally secured to the upper panel of the case and movable between first and second positions of abduction. The inflation and deflation of a pneumatic bladder cause the outer panel to be moved continuously. The removable support member has an interior compartment which houses a resilient cushion. The exterior surface of the outer panel allows for a sling, making this shoulder and arm support customizable to the patient, position of comfort, and the phase of the rehabilitation process.

Inventors:

Curtis Bryan Carlson - Holland NE, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/01
A61F 5/058

Abstract:

A bilateral rigid orthopedic support with pliable tabs that stabilize the wrist and hand, utilizing an adjustable hinge with a locking mechanism, providing the user the ability to lock the wrist into varying degrees of flexion and extension while simultaneously allowing for maximum support, with the addition of an orthopedic circumferential wrist and hand sleeve is disclosed. The combination of orthopedic sleeve materials and the rigid frame provide the required stability and compression while allowing for full phalange function.
