Abstract: A track pad assembly for a continuous track vehicle includes a track plate and a polymer pad. The track plate includes a plate body having a tread surface, and one or more mesh arrays attached to the tread surface of the plate body. The polymer pad is attached to the mesh array(s) and to interstitial areas of the tread surface defined by cells of the mesh array(s), e.g., by press bonding in conjunction with an adhesive. The polymer pad may be made of an elastomer such as hardened rubber.

Abstract: There is provided a mount and a case for attaching a mobile device to a further object. The mount comprises first and second coupling members and a body having a front face between the coupling members and that faces the case when the mount is attached to the case. The first and second coupling members define an undercut, for receiving part of the case. The case has an attachment for attaching the case to the mobile device, a cover for covering part of the mobile device, first and second openings in the cover, and first and second overhangs that define undercuts in the cover for mating with corresponding respective overhangs of the mount.

Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a housing having a housing bore defined by a bore inner surface, wherein the bore inner surface has an internal thread formed thereon and an insert having a flange formed adjacent a first end, a sealing feature formed adjacent a second end opposite the first end, and a cylindrical outer surface extending between the first end and the second end, the cylindrical outer surface having an external buttress thread configured to mesh with the internal thread of the housing bore. The sealing feature and the flange are configured to interface with the housing to provide a fluid seal.

Abstract: Video/audio production processing control synchronization apparatus and methods are provided. Processing control commands that are provided to a first installation of production processing equipment for controlling production processing of edit units of first production signals are echoed to another installation, or possibly multiple other installations, of production processing equipment. Timing information associated with the edit units is also provided to the other installation(s), to enable production processing of delayed production signals by the other installation(s) to be synchronized with the production processing by the first installation of production processing equipment. Multiple production processing equipment installations can be controlled and synchronized from a single control interface.

Abstract: A tiled display device is formed from display tiles having picture element (pixel) positions defined up to the edge of the tiles. Each tile includes a memory which stores display data, and pixel driving circuitry which controls the scanning and illumination of the pixels on the tile. The tiles are formed in two parts, an electronics section and a display section. Each of these parts includes connecting pads which cover several pixel positions. Each connecting pad makes an electrical connection to only one row electrode or column electrode. The connecting pads on the display section are electrically connected and physically joined to corresponding connecting pads on the electronics section to form a complete tile.

Abstract: A method for compressing 4D image data to accelerate the visualization of the data comprising the sequential steps of compressing a first 3D image using run length encoding (RLE), detecting changes between the first 3D image and subsequent time varied 3D images by dividing each subsequent time varying 3D image into a plurality of sub-volume voxels and performing a chi-squared test on corresponding voxels contained in each subsequent time varying 3D image and the sub-volume voxels in which was last detected a change, and compressing the data of each, subsequent successive time varying 3D image using run-length encoding.
