Abstract: A track for traction of an off-road vehicle such as an agricultural vehicle, a construction vehicle, a snowmobile, or another vehicle operable off-road. The track is mountable around a track-engaging assembly including a drive wheel for driving the track. The track is elastomeric to be flexible around the track-engaging assembly. The track includes an inner surface for facing the track-engaging assembly, a ground-engaging outer surface for engaging the ground, and a plurality of traction projections projecting from the ground-engaging outer surface. The track may have various features to enhance its traction, its floatation, and/or other aspects relating to use and performance of a track system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A wheel for a vehicle, such as a forklift (e.g., an electric forklift) or another material-handling vehicle, in which the wheel comprises a tire (e.g., a non-pneumatic tire) and may be designed to enhance its use and performance and/or use and performance of the vehicle, including, for example, to exhibit less rolling resistance, be more energy-efficient and/or allow the vehicle to travel faster and/or with improved ride comfort. For instance, elastic deformation of the wheel as it rolls may be better managed (e.g., reduced), which may improve thermal behavior of the wheel and/or may be combined with ways to better distribute or dissipate heat (e.g., by increasing thermal conductivity).

Abstract: A wheel for a vehicle (e.g., a construction vehicle, an all-terrain vehicle, or other off-road vehicle) or other device, in which the wheel comprises a non-pneumatic tire and may be designed to enhance its use and performance and/or use and performance of the vehicle or other device, including, for example, to be able to be used longer and/or in more challenging conditions, such as, for instance, by being more thermally efficient (e.g., to avoid or reduce adverse effects such as rapid degradation in material properties that could otherwise arise due to excessive temperatures) and/or more resistant to cracking or other damage which could lead to premature failure (e.g., due to manufacturing artifacts and/or rocks and other hazards that can cut, chip, or tear it during use).

Abstract: An electric motor can drive a workpiece and a tool simultaneously at speeds in a ratio adjustable at will. The workpiece is driven via two pulleys and a belt, while the tool is driven via further pulleys and a belt from a hydraulic circuit comprising a pump coupled to the electric motor and a hydraulic motor. The pump is preferably of the variable-capacity type so that its flow can be modified independently of the speed of the electric motor.

Abstract: A method for avoiding interference with the "logic" section of an electronic central control unit by the voltages manipulated in a network of peripheral elements, for instance in a telephone switching system, is provided. The method according to the invention uses generators which transmit recurring test pulses along two-wire lines coupled by transformers with amplifiers delivering pulses, staggered in amplitude and time, into a network of peripheral elements. Depending upon the state of these elements pulses are retransmitted, or are not retransmitted, to the base of a bipolar transistor which opens or closes a two-wire line coupled by a transformer to a receiver of the central control unit.
