Abstract: A track system includes an attachment assembly including at least one of a first pivot defining a roll pivot axis, a second pivot defining a pitch pivot axis, and a third pivot defining a yaw pivot axis of the track system. A frame assembly is disposed laterally outwardly from the attachment assembly and connected to the attachment assembly. The track system further includes at least one actuator for pivoting the frame assembly about at least one of the roll and yaw pivot axes, and at least one monitoring for determining, at least indirectly, at least one of a state of the track system and a ground surface condition. The at least one monitoring sensor is communicating with a track system controller to control the operation of the at least one actuator based on the at least one of the state of the track system and the ground surface condition.

Abstract: A stacking machine for stacking elongated members in a stack comprises a frame and a pair of cooperating stackers mounted thereto distant from each other. Each of the stackers comprises a driven master wheel, a slave wheel mounted eccentrically from the master wheel, a stacking arm assembly concurrently mounted to the master wheel and the slave wheel causing the master wheel to drive the slave wheel and a stacking arm assembly mounted to the stacking arm assembly, the stacking arm assembly comprising a stacking blade extending substantially parallel to the master wheel and defining a stacking face. The stacking faces of the cooperative stackers define a stacking plane supporting a layer of elongated members to be stacked, whereby the layers are moved one at a time on a stack.

Abstract: A method and system for playing an interactive game includes inputting into a host computer an access code, wherein the access code is operatively associated with game data storing a predetermined outcome of a game play, transmitting from the host computer a game play for play by a player on a terminal device in response to the inputted access code, and increasing the amount of a progressive jackpot in response to the occurrence of at least one game playing event.

Abstract: An alarm system and method for monitoring the temperature of a liquid contained in a reservoir. The system comprises a temperature sensing probe for sensing the temperature of the liquid. A sensing circuit is associated with the probe to generate a temperature indicating signal representative of the liquid temperature. A calibration circuit is provided for calibrating the temperature signal relative to a reference signal. Converter means is provided to convert the calibrated temperature signal to a binary signal indicative of sensed temperatures of the liquid whereby to feed comparator circuits having preset limit detectors to initiate an alarm signal when the temperature signal exceeds a predetermined value. The comparator circuits also feed a display device to indicate the temperature of the liquid.
