Abstract: A bogie configured to move along a track of an amusement ride includes two first lateral wheels, on each side of a vertical center plane of the bogie, for rolling along a run of the track. A second lateral wheel is mounted on each side of the vertical center plane and is movable perpendicular to the vertical center plane between a first position proximate the vertical plane and a second position spaced-away from the vertical plane. The bogie also includes a mechanism that provides a force to normally bias the second wheel toward the first position. The mechanism is configured such that the magnitude of the provided force increases with increasing separation between the second lateral wheel on one side of the vertical center plane and the second lateral wheel on the other side of the vertical center plane.

Abstract: A combination grill and fire pit heating device. The combination heating device having a grilling mode that is easily converted into a fire pit mode by adjustment of an orientation of the device.

Abstract: A method is provided for transforming a first transport level address into a second transport level address: the first address representing at least one digital data broadcasting service from at least one non-meshed broadcasting network and comprising data identifying the at least one digital data broadcasting service; the second address including a source field and/or a destination field in datagrams addressed to at least one communication network. The method includes the following steps: recovering data identifying the at least one digital data broadcasting service; inserting at least part of the identifying data in the second address of the datagrams.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for depositing solder in a first pattern over a first bonding pad on the substrate; depositing solder in a second pattern over a second bonding pad on the substrate, wherein the second pattern defines a larger area than the first pattern; placing the electronic device on the substrate such that pads on the electronic device are aligned with the first and second bonding pads; and reflowing the solder between the pads on the electronic device and the first and second bonding pads, causing the solder deposited on the first bonding pad to form a first solder joint and the solder deposited on the second bonding pad to form a second solder joint. The second solder joint is larger than the first solder joint causing the electronic device to be attached at an angle relative to the substrate.

Abstract: A microphone apparatus includes a carrier chip and a microphone chip. The carrier chip includes a substrate with parallel top and bottom surfaces, a metallization layer overlying the top surface, and a cylindrical cavity that is bored through the top surface and the metallization layer and partially through the carrier substrate. The microphone chip includes a substrate with parallel top and bottom surfaces, a cylindrical cavity extending from the microphone substrate top surface to the microphone substrate bottom surface, and a diaphragm attached to the microphone substrate bottom surface and extending across the microphone cavity. The microphone chip is fixed to the carrier chip, with the microphone cavity overlying the carrier cavity, and the diaphragm covering the carrier cavity and electrically connected to the metallization layer.

Abstract: A method of distributing data in a multicast network comprising one or more multicast groups. The method uses a remote advertisement server adapted to make available to one or more receivers useful data relating to one or more data source servers, each data source server being adapted to deliver data to one or more multicast groups. Said useful data can be read subsequently in order for one or more of these source servers then to be chosen by means of selection means. Also disclosed are an advertisement server and a system for implementing the method.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a module for ventilating, heating and/or air-conditioning an area (5) of a vehicle cabin (1) that is to be thermally treated. This module (2) comprises a thermal treatment device (7) which includes an enclosure (38) and an impeller (12) and is designed to extract air from the cabin (1), circulate this air inside the enclosure (38) and expel the air toward the area (5) to be treated. A Peltier-type cell (18) is housed inside the enclosure (38), the latter comprising a first duct (16) for circulating the admitted air along the first face (21) of the Peltier cell (18), prior to its being expelled toward the area (5) to be treated, and a second duct (17) for circulating the admitted air along the second face (22) of the Peltier cell (18), prior to its being expelled from the area (5) to be treated.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a skid that includes at least one stackable pedestal having a continuous wall, the continuous wall enclosing an opening that extends from a first pedestal end to a second pedestal end. The stackable pedestal includes at least two support blocks, each support block having a top surface height that places a stacked pedestal at a raised position over a previously placed pedestal to prevent surface-to-surface contact between the adjacent stacked pedestal walls. A yoke is demountably coupled to the second pedestal end of a single pedestal, or to the second pedestal end of a last stacked pedestal in the skid, and the yoke includes a cradle shaped to support a pipe.
