Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A seeding system having a seed meter; a conduit for receiving seeds released from the seed meter at a first end of the conduit; a gas source connected to the conduit proximate the first end for accelerating seed in the gas; and a seed orientation coil assembly connected to the second end to receive the accelerated seed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A seeding system comprising: a seed meter; a conduit for receiving seeds released from the seed meter at a first end of the conduit, and the conduit having a second end opposite the first end; a gas source connected to the conduit proximate the first end for accelerating seed in the gas; a seed orientation coil assembly connected to the second end to receive the accelerated seed; and a vent in the conduit proximate to the second end to vent the gas. 2 . The seeding system of claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of vents and the conduit at the second end is curved. 3 . The seeding system of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of vents are on an outer radius of the curve. 4 . The seeding system of claim 1 , wherein the vent releases all gas. 5 . The seeding system of claim 1 , wherein the vent releases a majority of the gas.
