Abstract: A tubular sheath for enclosing an expandable balloon attached to the distal portion of a catheter encloses and protects the expandable balloon. The tubular sheath is configured to be slidable and removable from the catheter. The tubular sheath may include a longitudinal splitting element that is removable as a result of a force applied to the longitudinal splitting element. The longitudinal splitting element is configured to split the wall of the tubular sheath in response to the force. Alternatively, the tubular sheath may include a gripping portion that has relatively poor cohesive strength to adjacent portions of the tubular sheath. The tubular sheath is configured to be removable in response to a force applied to the gripping portion.

Abstract: A method of controlling an animal forage handling arrangement that includes a first forage dispensing arrangement having a first conveyor, a first separator adapted to separate and distribute forage, and a first dispensing end portion and a first loading end portion. The arrangement further includes a control unit, the control unit adapted to control a driving of the first conveyor and includes a first forage presence sensor arranged at the first loading end portion. The method includes starting the first conveyor to move an upper side of the first conveyor towards the first loading end portion, and, to prepare the first conveyor to be loaded with forage, stopping the first conveyor when a loading condition is fulfilled.

Abstract: A one-sided inline skate frame for an inline skate includes a wheel mounting portion that rotatably mounts a plurality of inline skate wheels on one side of the wheel mounting portion. A box beam sidewall extends up from the wheel mounting portion. The box beam sidewall includes an outer wall section, an inner wall section, an upper wall section, and a lower wall section. The wall sections define a channel through the box beam sidewall. A forward base attachment member extends from an upper, forward portion of the box beam sidewall, and a rearward base attachment member extends from a rearward portion of the box beam wall. The forward and rearward based attachment members are configured for mounting a skate base to the frame.

Abstract: An inline skate frame and axle assembly includes a frame having single sidewall that mounts a plurality of outwardly-extending axle assemblies. The sidewall has a wheel-mounting portion, a forward attachment portion and a rearward attachment portion. A forward attachment member includes a leg that extends outwardly from the sidewall between wheels on the skate, and a first attachment plate that cooperatively with the first attachment portion is configured to attach a skate base. A similar rearward attachment member comprises a leg and a second attachment plate that cooperatively with the second attachment portion is configure to attach the skate base. In embodiments the axle assemblies are rotationally locked to the sidewall, and include a cap member rotationally locked to the axle to prevent wheel rotation from loosening and wheel retaining connector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gyroscope sensor for detecting a rotational motion about a sensitivity axis and comprising means for quadrature compensation. The gyroscope sensor comprises a total inertial mass comprising a first inertial mass and a second inertial mass physically attached to each other and arranged such that a rotation of the first inertial mass about a detection axis caused by the coriolis force when the gyroscope sensor is subjected to a rotation about a sensitivity axis. The gyroscope further comprises a first drive structure having a displaceable drive frame which may cause a respective of the first or second inertial mass to rotate about the detection axis in order to compensate for quadrature errors originating from faulty coupling between a drive mode and a sense mode of the gyroscope sensor.

Abstract: A base is provided for a ski boot comprising a sole and an outsole element that is positioned in a predetermined position relative to a longitudinal axis (L). The outsole element is positioned on the sole by using two projections that are carried by one or other of the sole and the outsole element and that locate in holes or cavities defined by the other. Preferably, the projections are carried by the outsole element and locate in holes or cavities defined by the sole. The projections may be integrally formed with the outsole element or the sole. Alternatively, they may be formed by injected pins, rivets, fasteners, t-nuts, or screws.

Abstract: A sensor is disclosed for detecting a rotational motion about a resulting sensitivity axis. The sensor includes at least two dual mass gyroscope units, each of the gyroscope units are adapted to detect a rotational motion about a sensitivity axis of the respective gyroscope unit. The sensitivity axes being parallel to each other and to the resulting sensitivity axis. The gyroscope units are interconnected at the inertial masses of the gyroscope units which cause the gyroscope unit to operate synchronously.
