Abstract: The invention relates to a piste grooming vehicle having at least one piste grooming device for preparing a piste and to a method for operating such a piste grooming vehicle. Use in grooming ski pistes or snowboard pistes.

Abstract: A flat towed vehicle includes a battery and wheels and a supplemental fuse. A transfer case generates a transfer case status signal an electric power steering system coupled to the wheels and the battery through the supplemental fuse. The electrical power steering system has a tow mode and a driven mode. The electric power steering system enters the tow mode when the supplement fuse communicates battery power to the electrical power steering system and the transfer case status signal corresponding to a neutral position.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying the location of a medical device within a patient's body may be used to localize the fossa ovalis for trans-septal procedures. The systems and methods measure light reflected by tissues encountered by an optical array. An optical array detects characteristic wavelengths of tissues that are different distances from the optical array. The reflectance of different wavelengths of light at different distances from an optical array may be used to identify the types of tissue encountered, including oxygenated blood in the left atrium as detected from the right atrium through the fossa ovalis.
