Abstract: A controller for a hybrid vehicle capable of making a first control rule and a second control rule cooperate with each other is provided. In the first control rule, a gear ratio is controlled such that output from an internal combustion engine via a transmission satisfies requested drive power. In the second control rule, the gear ratio is controlled such that a sum of drive power by a motor and drive power by the internal combustion engine becomes the requested drive power.

Abstract: A track or wear pad for a grouser of continuous track or track tread of a tracked vehicle such as a bulldozer, excavator, tractor or crawler, the track pad including an elastomeric shoe and a fastener bar. The fastener bar is a continuous, single-piece of material that includes substantially parallel legs spaced apart by connector portion, with a collar or flange provided around each of the legs, and the track shoe is molded or otherwise provided around the connector portion, a portion of each leg, and at least a portion of the flange or collar.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a hinge with a locking tab made up of a first hinge part having a post extending therefrom and a second hinge part having a sleeve mateable with the post, wherein the sleeve is placed over the post to assemble the hinge. Furthermore, a resilient locking tab associated with one of the first hinge part and the second hinge part is positioned to resiliently snap over the other of the first hinge part or the second hinge part when the parts are fully engaged.

Abstract: A furniture system has multiple modules in which two or more modules may be arranged together in a variety of combinations. Adjacent modules may be attached using turnbuckles which evenly space the modules and provide a gap between modules. The gap may be masked with removable pilasters that match the finish of the furniture modules. The outer walls of each module are unfinished and therefore end caps may be secured to the outer walls of an assembled system. The end caps match the finish of the modules. Each module has associated with it height adjustable rollers and at least one of those rollers may be locked to prevent rotation.
