Abstract: A track system for a vehicle on a ground, wherein the track system is reconfigurable, such as by rearranging or otherwise altering one or more components of the track system (e.g., wheels, pivots or other joints, frame members, etc., by changing their position, movability, etc.) and/or by repositioning the track system relative to a frame of the vehicle, which may be useful, for instance, to enhance performance of the vehicle (e.g., maximize or otherwise increase traction and/or pulling force (e.g., drawbar pull); improve steerability; etc.), ride quality (e.g., comfort), effects on the ground (e.g., minimize or otherwise reduce soil compaction and/or soil shear stress; provide headland protection; etc.), and/or other aspects of the track system and/or the vehicle, and/or for various other purposes.

Abstract: A vehicle with a track system including a track for traction of the vehicle on a ground can be monitored (e.g., during operation of the vehicle) to obtain information regarding the vehicle, including information regarding the track system, such as a temperature and/or another characteristic of a wheel of the track system sensed by a sensor associated with that wheel, which can be used to inform a user (e.g., an operator of the vehicle) and/or control the vehicle (e.g., a speed of the vehicle), for properly aligning the track and/or other purposes. This may be useful, for example, to help prevent rapid wear or other deterioration of the track and/or for various other reasons.

Abstract: An improved slide mount of the type comprising a flat rectangular pocket forming a slideway for receiving a standard slide film provided with two lateral rows of driving notches, a central window formed in the pocket and a deformable slot in communication with the slideway to allow the introduction of the slide film with its rows of notches perpendicular to the slot into the slideway. This slide mount is improved in that at least one sprocket is provided for inside the slideway so as to engage one of the notches of the film and lock the same inside the slideway. This sprocket is smaller in size than the notch it engages to let the film free to expand to a certain extent when subjected to the heat of a lamp.

Abstract: An album leaf and method of making it is disclosed. The leaf has a peripheral frame of metal or other suitable material which includes a bead and inwardly extending skirts for holding a base sheet therebetween. Adhesive means on the surface of the skirt retain a mat thereon, securing a photograph beneath the mat. A hinge segment is attached to the binding edge of the leaf.
