He has made significant contributions to the field of agricultural technology, particularly in the design of systems for forage harvesters. With a total of 2 patents, Gold's work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of agricultural machinery.
Latest Patents
Gold's latest patents include the "Spout aimer with feed roll rotation sensing" and the "Spout aimer." The first patent describes a spout aiming control system for a forage harvester that features a sweep mode. This mode allows the spout to be automatically adjusted for even wagon filling under specific conditions. A magnetic pickup is utilized to sense the rotation of the forage harvester feed rolls, and a disable system ensures that the sweep mode only operates when the feed rolls exceed a certain rotation speed. Additionally, a warning signal is generated if the pickup indicates that the feed rolls are not rotating and the circuit is open.
The second patent, the "Spout aimer," introduces a control system that allows both automatic and manual control of a forage harvester spout. This system directs the crop to a receiving wagon and can automatically sweep the spout through various positions to achieve uniform wagon filling. These functions are accomplished using a suitably programmed microprocessor.
