Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly for storing bicycles, the assembly including: at least one fixed rail; and a support frame on which at least one bicycle can be loaded in an elevated position above the ground, wherein the support frame is moveable on the rail between a forward advance position for loaded and unloading the bicycle from the support frame, and a rearward retracted position for storing the bicycle. When the support frame is in the forward advanced position, a bicycle loaded onto the support frame can be locked to the support frame using a conventional bicycle lock.

Abstract: A modular cycle storage apparatus including at least one at least partially arcuate fixed trunk assembly extending upwardly from the mounting surface, at least one arcuate movable arm assembly mounted relative to the at least one fixed trunk assembly and movable relative thereto between an extended, lower position and a retracted, elevated position, and at least one lower arm assembly mounted relative to a lower portion of the at least one fixed trunk assembly and beneath the at least one arcuate movable arm assembly, each of the at least one arcuate movable arm assembly and the at least one lower arm assembly adapted to mount a cycle for at least temporary storage.

Abstract: An assembly for storing bicycles in an upright orientation and suitably with both wheels of the bicycles off the ground. The assembly is configured to suspend the bicycles from their front wheel by engaging the front tire of the bicycles, and without needing to engage the rim of the front wheel, or the frame of the bicycle. Moreover, the assembly is adapted to allow the bicycles located in the upright orientation to be moved while on the assembly from side-to-side to allow bicycles storage to be clustered together and a bicycle to be retrieve-from storage to be spaced further apart from adjacent bicycles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to searching a system including multiple stores of data which are discrete from each other. The method includes: receiving a search parameter including an identifier, for the identifier, retrieving an other identifier related to the identifier, identifying one or more data stores associated with the identifier and the other identifier, and for each identified data store searching the data store using the identifier or the other identifier associated with the data store.

Abstract: A method of processing data in an SAP system comprising dividing data to be processed following a request from a user endpoint into a number of intervals, providing the intervals consecutively to one or more data processors selected to service the request and storing the output of a data processor when it has processed the interval.

Abstract: A method of load balancing is provided in an SAP system where a central processor within the SAP system monitors the total number of processors within the system and the total number of available processors within the system. From these numbers the central processor can allocate processors to fulfil a request for data processing from an endpoint connected to the SAP system and reallocate processors in response to a new request for resources, or an alteration in the total number of processors.

Abstract: A removable truck deck for use as part of a roll-off truck deck system. In one embodiment, the removable truck deck comprises a replaceable and interchangeable side fitting that may be locked at a desired position along the length of the removable truck deck. The side fitting may be used to provide a plurality of interchangeable attachments on the truck deck. One such attachment may include a pontoon permitting the truck deck to float when removed from the truck. A plurality of floating truck decks in abutting longitudinal series may be used to create a floating bridge. Other attachments include, wheels, cranes, winches, transverse partitions, tailgates, sidewalls, etc.
