Abstract: A personal transportation apparatus (10) in the form of a motorised board (12) including a chassis (14) arranged to support a first foot support portion (16) and a second foot support portion (18) spaced apart from the first foot support portion (16), a first ground engaging arrangement (20) located proximate the first foot support portion (16), and a second ground engaging arrangement (22) located proximate the second foot support portion (18), the first and second ground engaging arrangements (20), (22) being adapted to at least one of slide, rotate and move over a ground surface. At least one of the first and second ground engaging arrangements (20, 22) may include a motive track assembly (24a, 24b) having a roller arrangement (26a, 26b) to rotatably support an endless track (28a, 28b), the roller arrangement (26a, 26b) including a motorised roller (30a, 30b) housing a motor internally of the motorised roller (30a, 30b) so as to drive the endless track (28a, 28b).

Abstract: A slider includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment includes a first upper surface, a first lower surface, and a first interior surface that connects the first upper surface to the first lower surface. The first upper surface is configured to support a track. The first interior surface includes a first component of an attachment mechanism. The second segment includes a second upper surface, a second lower surface, and a second interior surface that connects the second upper surface to the second lower surface. The second upper surface is configured to support the track. The second interior surface includes a second component of the attachment mechanism that is configured to be removably attached to the first component.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and method for treating bed bugs or other pests within an enclosure. The system comprises at least one heater, at least one fan, at least one temperature monitoring device, and a heat chamber. The method for use comprises sealing at least one heater, at least one fan, at least one temperature monitoring device, and articles for treatment into a heat chamber and heating the chamber to a temperature known to be lethal to the pests for an appropriate length of time.

Abstract: The vehicle (1) includes a chassis (2) and a pair of track assemblies (3, 4) mounted at the front and rear of the chassis respectively. At least one of the track assemblies is powered by a motor (5) to propel the vehicle. The chassis include mounting points (6, 7) for attaching the track assemblies. A deck area including rider footpads (8, 9) flanks a central motor mounting section (10).

Abstract: A vehicle frame that includes first and second frame portions. The first frame portion has a plurality of struts associated with each other to form a first framework. The second frame portion is associable with the first frame portion in a stiffening association for significantly increasing the stiffness of the first frame portion. The associated first and second frame portions are configured to support a rider sitting on the vehicle frame. The associated frame portions also define an interior cavity dimension for housing a component of the propulsion system for propelling the vehicle. The associated frame portions also comprise attachments for supportedly connecting two wheels of the vehicle, a seat disposed on the frame, and other vehicle accessories and systems.

Abstract: An inkjet printer is provided. The printer includes a body, a printhead assembly disposed at least partially within the body, and a media advance system disposed at least partially within the body for advancing a media sheet within the printer. The printhead assembly includes a first printhead and a second printhead, the first and second printheads being configured to simultaneously deposit ink on the media sheet when the media sheet is positioned adjacent the printhead assembly, and to move across the media sheet in an opposed manner relative to one another during printing.

Abstract: A two-wheeled electric scooter principally powered by batteries which together provide more than 100 volts. The scooter carries an onboard recharging system to replenish the battery supply. Accordingly, the onboard recharging system is not called upon to provide the main power source for acceleration and other operating conditions. A recharging system is implemented either as a fuel cell which trickle charges the battery, or an internal combustion engine which recharges the battery through a mechanical charging unit such as an alternator or generator. Regenerative braking is provided so as to further conserve energy by back driving the motor to recharge the battery pack during braking. Connections are provided for an external power source such as an AC outlet to be plugged into the scooter so as to provide an alternate mechanism to recharge the batteries.
