An air seeder distribution apparatus has seed and fertilizer tanks, and a like plurality of metering devices mounted on each product tank. A manifold set comprises a like plurality of product manifolds and each manifold is separately fed from one metering device on each of the seed and fertilizer tanks. A control selectively starts and stops rotation of the feed roller of each metering device to feed product from either tank, or both tanks to the connected manifold. The weight of each tank can be displayed on a weight indicator. Balancing of the pressure in each supply conduit can be provided. A remote opener exerts downward force on the tank lid to maintain interior pressure.

A contaminant detection machine (1) including a conveyor (3) which causes an object under inspection (79) to pass through a plane (48) of emitted x-ray radiation. The plane is generated by an x-ray tube (55) that emits a lateral beam, thereby permitting the distance (88) between the x-ray tube and the object under inspection to be reduced. A photo diode arch mounting assembly (104) is placed above the object under inspection and is mated to a collimator assembly (125) that also serves as the mounting bracket for the x-ray generation assembly (38), thereby preserving optical alignment between the photo diode detector array (28) and the emitted x-ray plane (48). The detector array (28) scans the object under inspection (79) so as to produce a continuous series of discrete lines, each line being analyzed by an image processing unit (116) to determine the presence or absence of a contaminant. The conveyor (3) passes over a pair of slider bed surfaces (155, 156) which are mounted in a hinged manner such that the leading edge (168) of one surface (156) is parallel to and spaced apart from the trailing edge (172) of the other surface (155), thereby creating a gap that is coplanar with the collimation slot (129) and the emitted x-ray plane (48). Each bed surface (155, 156) is rigidly constrained within open ended mounting brackets (159, 160, 161 and 162) yet can be removed by hand without the use of tools. Similarly, the conveyor (3) is supported by a roller assembly (182) that includes a tracking block (142) and pivot pin (143) which permits the roller assembly to be mounted to and removed from flip up mounts (151, 152) by hand and without the need of tools. Graphical user interfaces (249, 260, 261, 266, 275, 282 and 288) permit a user to operate the machine (1) by means of a liquid crystal display touch screen (20).

This invention consists of a floating clutch for two concentric shafts. This is achieved by means of a movable body transmitting energy from one shaft to the other via cogs that engage or disengage vertically depending on the presence of fluid; torque of the inner shaft is transmitted to the coupler and from the coupler to the movable body, and in turn, to the fixed cog, and then to the outer shaft, when it is in the clutch position. The invention also consists of a group of chambers and peripheral walls that allow the assembly to operate in optimal conditions, avoiding malfunctions, breakdowns and unhealthy conditions by preventing the buildup of fluff, scale, fibers, sediments, dirt or undesired objects hampering the correct operation of the invention and of a home-type washing machine.
