The invention relates to an apparatus for opening fiber bales of spinning material, e.g. cotton, comprising two reducing means, e.g. milling rollers, disposed in mutually parallel relationship in a housing, the reduction of a bale or a row of bales being performed from the top. Between the milling disks of the rollers, there are provided grate rods which adjoin the bale surface and by which the reduction of the fiber material of the bales is supported. Above the gap formed by the reducing means, a suction channel provided for the removed fiber material may extend lengthwise of the reducing means.
There have been known various designs of opening devices of the foregoing type.

The pixel cell may also include a source follower transistor for receiving and amplifying charge from the sensing node and an access transistor for controlling the readout of the cell contents from the source follower transistor.
In a CMOS image sensor, the active elements of a pixel cell perform the necessary functions of: (1) photon to charge conversion; (2) accumulation of image charge; (3) transfer of charge to the sensing node accompanied by charge amplification; (4) resetting the sensing node to a known state before the transfer of charge to it; (5) selection of a pixel for readout; and (6) output and amplification of a signal representing pixel charge from the sensing node.
