  • Publication number: 20240152892
    Abstract: An automated method is provided for enabling and implementing a beacon-based service location application in a user device having a beacon monitoring application. A service location facilitation server establishes service need criteria for a user of the user device and estimates a service need state for the user. The service need state includes information indicative of a relative need for a desired service. The service location facilitation server then determines whether the service need state meets the service need criteria, and, if so, transmits an instruction to the user device to transition the beacon monitoring application from an inactive state to an active monitoring state.

  • Publication number: 20230322314
    Abstract: A track tensioning system for adjusting tension in a vehicle track, comprising a track tensioner comprising a hydraulic cylinder and a piston assembly slidably moveable within the cylinder and dividing the cylinder into a first and second chamber each in selective fluid communication with a pressurised hydraulic fluid source and reservoir, such that supply or withdrawal of hydraulic fluid to or from the chambers causes the piston assembly to move within the cylinder in either extension, increasing track tension, or retraction, decreasing track tension, further comprising a locking system capable of mechanically locking the position of the piston assembly with respect to the hydraulic cylinder, wherein the locking system is switchable between an engaged mode, where it prevents movement of the piston, thereby maintaining tension in the vehicle track, and a disengaged mode, where it allows movement of the piston, thereby allowing tension in the vehicle track to be adjusted.
