Abstract: A front fork assembly for a bicycle is configured to be rotatably coupled to a head tube of the bicycle, such that the fork assembly is configured to rotate relative to the head tube about an axis of rotation. The fork assembly may include a C-shaped fork body having a front member connecting an upper portion and a lower bearing surface of the fork body. The fork assembly may include a tension rod extending from the upper portion to the lower bearing surface through an aperture of an inner wall of the head tube at a position offset from the axis of rotation, such that the tension rod is configured to move with rotation of the fork body. The aperture is configured to limit a range of motion of the tension rod and therefore of the front fork.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar assembly comprises a base bar, a v-shaped stem selectively removable from the base bar, and a bicycle fork assembly. Control cables from the bicycle may be routed from the base bar into hollow diverging stem members of the v-shaped stem. The bicycle fork assembly comprises an external-steerer fork having a load-bearing member and a preload tensioning rod. The preload tensioning rod fits within a head tube of the bicycle, and a hollow space around the preload tensioning rod accommodates control cables passing from the v-shaped stem into a hollow portion of the bicycle frame. The v-shaped stem is secured against the base bar by a pair of nut plates. In some examples, an engagement portion of an accessory such as an aerobar extension assembly is configured to secure the v-shaped stem and an aerobar extension against the base bar.

Abstract: Methods and devices for presenting application program information may include receiving an indication corresponding to a selection of a first user interface element associated with an application program package that includes a set of package information. Moreover, the methods and devices may retrieve a subset of package information from the set of package information by executing one or more packaging application program interfaces (APIs) to extract the subset of package information from the set of package information.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided to allow the reception and/or transmission of data signals at two different frequency bands. The apparatus includes a waveguide (4) which has a first section (6) of larger cross sectional area for receiving and/or transmitting the lower frequency band signals, and a reducing section (8) which leads to a section with a reduced cross sectional area in comparison to the first section (6) and this allows the receipt of the higher frequency band signals. In one embodiment sections of the waveguide can be rotated to allow the apparatus to be adjusted to any particular orientation to suit the particular circular polarity transmission type at the location at which the apparatus is provided at that time.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided which allows for the receipt and/or transmission of data signals, and, for the received signals, for the subsequent separation of the same into at least two sets of data signals which are orthogonal and provide these sets of data signals to subsequent processing components, whilst maintaining the isolation between the first and second data signal sets. For the transmission of the data signals the first and second sets of data signals are initially separate and then combined into one data set to allow the same to be transmitted.

Abstract: A head tube assembly suitable for a bicycle and comprising an open steerer configuration and cable routing. The head tube assembly comprises a head tube configured to connect with the top tube and down tube of the bicycle. The head tube includes a lower bearing component and an upper bearing component configured to rotatably engage the fork assembly. The fork assembly comprises an external steerer configured to rotate externally to the head tube. The head tube assembly includes an upper steerer section configured to secure the external steerer, and an internal chamber configured with an aperture for receiving one or more cables and being coupled to the top tube or the down tube. The internal chamber includes one or more guide tubes configured to route the cable(s) through the interior portion of the top tube or the down tube.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems for prolonging battery life, such as maintaining battery cell temperatures in battery packs within specified limits, providing vibration and shock resistance, and/or electrically isolating groups of batteries from nearby conductive surfaces.
