Abstract: A standard component of a vehicle equippable with a plurality of wheels or a plurality of track systems for engaging the ground, such as an axle housing or a frame of the vehicle, comprises a connector dedicated to connecting a given one of the track systems to the vehicle and provided during original manufacturing of the standard component of the vehicle. This may facilitate installation of the track systems on the vehicle.

Abstract: A track system for traction of a vehicle (e.g., a compact track loader or other construction vehicle) which may be designed to improve ride quality (e.g., reduce vibrations) for an operator and/or enhance other aspects of its performance or that of the vehicle. For example, a track of the track system may be frictionally driven and without transversal rigid parts (e.g., metallic cores). Also, power generation and transmission functions may be implemented by the track system. For instance, a motor and a transmission may be at least mostly contained within the track system.

Abstract: A track system for a vehicle on a ground, wherein the track system may be designed to enhance ride quality (e.g., comfort), stability, load distribution on the ground, manoeuvrability (e.g., steerability), adaptability to ground and/or working conditions, and/or other aspects of the track system and/or the vehicle, such as by being movable relative to a frame of the vehicle (e.g., horizontally, vertically, and/or pivotally), resiliently supporting wheels of the track system (e.g., with elastomeric bushings or other components), and/or varying how much of the track engages the ground (e.g., reducing that to facilitate turning).

Abstract: A resistance to wear, “edge-cutting” or other deterioration of a track for a vehicle and/or other aspects of the track may be enhanced, including by enhancing internal reinforcements (e.g., cores) of the track, such as by providing certain flexibility characteristics to these internal reinforcements of the track, and/or by monitoring the track and controlling the vehicle, notifying a user, etc.

Abstract: A track for traction of a vehicle (e.g., a compact track loader or other construction vehicle) which may be designed to enhance a resistance to wear of the track, including a resistance to cracking of elastomeric material of the track and a resistance to delamination of the elastomeric material of the track from cores at least partially embedded in the elastomeric material of the track.

Abstract: It is provided a tumor promoting alternative splicing isoform of PACE4, named PACE4-alt CT, analytes specifically binding to PACE4-alt CT, such as antibodies, and use of same for detecting a cancer, such as prostate cancer. It is also provided a method treating a cancer in a patient comprising administering an inhibitor of PACE4-altCT to a patient in need thereof and a kit comprising an analyte specific reagent specifically binding to PACE4-altCT for detecting a cancer.
