Abstract: An off-highway recreational vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll-over protection system (ROPS), The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide power to the ground engaging members, wherein the CVT is cooled via air captured by a CVT intake body located adjacent the driver-side seat, between the frame and external panels of the utility vehicle.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for translating messages into multiple languages among a group of wireless portable electronic communication devices communicable with one another via a remote cloud-based communications platform server (CPS). The CPS receives a first voice message from a sending portable communication device (PCD) and determines a language setting for the sending PCD. The CPS may then convert the first voice message to a first text message in the language of the sending PCD. The CPS may then determine a logical channel associated with the first voice message and any other PCDs associated with the logical channel set to receive the message sent by the sending PCD.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for translating messages into multiple languages among a group of wireless portable electronic communication devices communicable with one another via a remote cloud-based communications platform server (CPS). The CPS receives a first message from a sending portable communication device (PCD), the first message being one of a voice message or a text message. The CPS then determines a language setting for the sending PCD. When the first message is a voice message, the CPS converts it to a first text message in the language of the sending PCD. The CPS also determines a logical channel associated with the first message and any other PCDs associated with the logical channel as well as the language settings for the other PCDs. For each other PCD associated with the logical channel, the CPS translates the first text message to a second text message in the languages of the other PCDs. The CPS also determines, from a user profile, a current format setting for received messages.

Abstract: A transport system, with first, second, third and fourth I-beams, joined to form a planar rectangular chassis frame having an upper edge, a lower edge, and first, second, third and fourth corners. A first cross-bar having a first end is joined proximate to the upper edge of the chassis frame and the first corner, and a second end is joined proximate to the lower edge of the first chassis frame and the second corner. A second cross-bar having a first end is joined proximate to the upper edge of the chassis frame and the third corner, and a second end joined proximate to the lower edge of the chassis frame and the fourth corner.
