20090218991	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGULATING EXCITATION OF AN ALTERNATOR - A hybrid voltage regulator controls the voltage of three phases of alternating electricity produced by an alternator. A digital voltage regulator produces an average of the RMS voltage for each phase and produces an error value based on a ratio of the voltage to the frequency of the alternating electricity. The RMS voltage average and the error value are used to modify a voltage command designating a desired voltage level. The modified voltage command is processed by an analog voltage regulator that rectifies the alternator output voltage which then is averaged over an period of time. The resultant average voltage value is utilized to modify the voltage command to produce a regulated voltage command that determines a level of current to apply to excite the alternator.	09-03-2009

The worker then places the harvested crop filled container onto a worker station. After the worker collects multiple harvested crop filled containers, the worker pushes the containers onto a conveyor belt system, adjacent to the worker station, that runs laterally on the machine. When it is time to offload the containers, the conveyor belt system is activated and the containers slide down to one end of the machine to be loaded into a designated vehicle or area. The machine travels through the crop field and can gradually turn onto a different furrow when harvesting of the crops is complete in one area of the field.	05-05-2011

20150124257	REDUCED VOLUME SPECTROSCOPIC SAMPLE CELL - A sample cell can be designed to minimize excess gas volume. Described features can be advantageous in reducing an amount of gas required to flow through the sample cell during spectroscopic measurements, and in reducing a time (e.g. a total volume of gas) required to flush the cell between sampling events. In some examples, contours of the inners surfaces of the sample cell that contact the contained gas can be shaped, dimensioned, etc. such that a maximum clearance distance is provided between the inner surfaces at one or more locations. Systems, methods, and articles, etc. are described.	05-07-2015

20080203863	Gaming Apparatus Support Base - A gaming support base includes a support cabinet configured to support a gaming apparatus. The support cabinet having a back panel, a first side panel coupled substantially perpendicular to the back panel, and a second side panel coupled substantially perpendicular to the back panel and positioned away from the first side panel. The support base further including a cabinet deck configured to cooperate with the support cabinet to define a cavity. The support base may further include an interface plate configured to cooperate with gaming apparatus. The support base may further include a light source.	08-28-2008
20090124395	LCD MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A GAMING APPARATUS - A gaming apparatus having a cabinet cooperatively coupled to an LCD mounting system. The LCD mounting system is carried within and mounts to an interior surface of the cabinet. The LCD mounting system is pivotable relative to and independent from the cabinet and a door mounted thereto. In this way, when the door is in an open position, a video display supported by the LCD mounting system may pivot away from the cabinet to allow access to an interior space and the components within the cabinet. Alternatively, when the door is in an open position, the video display supported by the LCD mounting system may be positioned for easy viewing and interaction while still allowing access to the interior space and the components within the cabinet.	05-14-2009
