Pivoted Vessel For The Solar Heating Of Water
US Patent:
D287999, Jan 27, 1987
Filed:
May 7, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/608018
Inventors:
Dennis E. Stowell - Parowan UT
US Classification:
D23 72
Continuous Determination And Control Of The Weight Of Hay Bales During The Baling Process
US Patent:
4885531, Dec 5, 1989
Filed:
Mar 13, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/322353
Inventors:
Dennis E. Stowell - Parowan UT
International Classification:
G01N 502
US Classification:
324 65P
Abstract:
A bale weight control system is provided for use on a conventional baling machine having a compression zone defined by opposed retaining walls capable of being urged together by a hydraulic ram. The weight control system utilizes a moisture sensing system which provides a continuous electrical output signal to a microprocessor that determines proper wall pressure. The microprocessor produces an electrical output signal that controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the ram. Water may be controllably applied to hay which is too dry.
Solar Heated Canteen
US Patent:
4696284, Sep 29, 1987
Filed:
Dec 4, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/937685
Inventors:
Dennis E. Stowell - Parowan UT
International Classification:
F24J 302
US Classification:
126437
Abstract:
A canteen-like apparatus which confines potable water is adapted to heat the water by solar energy. The apparatus has a water-confining vessel substantially surrounded by a thermally insulating jacket. The vessel is comprised of an upper panel of spherical curvature convexly directed away from the interior of the vessel, and an opposed lower panel. A flat fresnel lens having a circular perimeter of larger diameter than the diameter of the transparent panel is attached at its perimeter to the insulating jacket and thereby disposed above the transparent panel to form an air chamber. Rays of sunlight pass through the fresnel lens and converge toward and impinge perpendicularly upon the upper panel, thereby producing efficient heating of the water.
Baler-Mounted Continuous Moisture Monitoring System
US Patent:
4812741, Mar 14, 1989
Filed:
Feb 10, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/013130
Inventors:
Dennis E. Stowell - Parowan UT
International Classification:
G01R 2702
US Classification:
324 65P
Abstract:
A sensing device and interactive components are provided for the continuous automatic monitoring of the moisture content of hay during its baling with a conventional baling machine. The device is comprised of a cylindrical holding tube having an open forward extremity which is welded to the retaining wall of the compression zone of the baler. An electrode and surrounding electrical insulative material are disposed within the holding tube. The forward extremities of the electrode and insulative material extend through an aperture in the retaining wall to coplanar disposition with the interiorly directed surface of the retaining wall. As the hay slides perpendicularly past the electrode, electrical resistivity is measured and caused to indicate moisture content on a meter located in the driver's compartment of the baler machine.
