  • Patent number: 9850640
    Abstract: A working machine comprising a ground engaging structure and an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure. A superstructure is rotatably mounted to the undercarriage so as to be rotatable relative to the undercarriage about a first generally upright axis, an operator's cab is rotatably mounted on the superstructure so as to be rotatable relative to the superstructure about a second generally upright axis, and a working arm is rotatably mounted to the superstructure so as to be moveable up and down about a generally horizontal axis. A drive arrangement is provided for driving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine. The drive arrangement includes an engine and transmission that are housed within the undercarriage, and a majority of the engine is positioned below a level coincident with a lower extent of the superstructure.

  • Patent number: 9592733
    Abstract: A working machine comprising: a ground engaging structure with a first and second axle, each mounting two wheels; a body supported on the ground engaging structure, a working arm mounted to the body; and a drive arrangement for moving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine, the drive arrangement including a prime mover and transmission. The transmission comprises a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, a first high speed hydraulic motor to drive the first axle to permit the working machine to be driven at relatively high speeds in a first two-wheel drive operating mode, and a second low speed motor to be supplied with hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump to drive the second axle at relatively low speeds and configured to be driven in conjunction with the first motor in a second four-wheel drive operating mode.

  • Patent number: 9540080
    Abstract: A structure, such as a fin or water sports board, including a core having opposed first and second core outer surfaces. The structure further includes first and second fiber sheets, wherein the first fiber sheet extends along the first core outer surface and the second fiber sheet extends along the second core outer surface. A thermoplastic material impregnates the first fiber sheet and the second fiber sheet and bonds the first fiber sheet and the second fiber sheet to the core. The thermoplastic material defines an outer surface of the structure.

  • Publication number: 20170001347
    Abstract: A method of forming a fin configured for use with a water sports board. The method includes providing a mold having a mold cavity and first and second insert pre-preg sheets each including structural strands respectively bonded by first and second resin materials. The method further includes placing the insert pre-preg sheets within the mold cavity. The method further includes injecting a third resin material under pressure into the mold cavity between the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet to urge the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet away from each other and towards respective ones of the pair of mold cavity faces, and dispose the third resin material between the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet to space at least a portion of the first insert pre-preg sheet from the second insert pre-preg sheet.

  • Publication number: 20160350398
    Abstract: Architecture that provides enhanced tag telemetry in a microblogging communications infrastructure. The architecture provides efficient discovery and tracking of topics that are of interest to a specific user by enabling users to follow (track) hash tags (#tag) and to receive and view all messages tagged with the hash tag appear in the user's personal feed. Each hash tag has a persisted tag page that aggregates all the associated activity, and includes a list that includes, but is not limited to, the tag followers, the most frequent user (uses the tag the most often in a specific time frame), a description, related tags, for example. The user can receive all the updates in the user's personal feed, and see an aggregation of all the messages and conversations associated with the tag in single place. The user can also mute the tag to prevent the receiving of tag information.

  • Patent number: 9463588
    Abstract: A fin for a water sports board including leading and trailing edges, and a base extending therebetween along a longitudinal base axis. A fin axis extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal base axis, both axes residing within a longitudinal plane. First and second opposed side faces are formed on generally opposed sides of the longitudinal plane. First and second insert pre-preg sheets formed of structural strands bonded by a resin material are disposed adjacent respective ones of the first and second side faces on generally opposed sides of the longitudinal plane. An injection molded resin material is disposed between the first and second insert pre-preg sheets. A core is positioned between the first and second insert pre-preg sheets and is of a density less than the injection molded resin material.

  • Patent number: 9456817
    Abstract: An expandable trial can include an inferior portion, a superior portion, and a middle expanding portion as well as load cells for monitoring the load on the trial. The trial may also include recesses on its lateral sides to provide spacing to accommodate a disc removal tool so tissue can be cleared monitoring load. In addition, neural foramen spacing can be monitoring to provide information about how much neural release has been achieved as the disc is cleaned and the spine is positioned and repositioned.
