Abstract: A method of measuring customer satisfaction with a product. The method may assess customer satisfaction from information collected after purchasing the product. This post-purchase information may be collected, for example, by monitoring customer expressions made while interacting with the product. Optionally, the settings and operating conditions of the product may be separately monitored and cross-referenced with the customer expressions to tie the expressions with specific characteristics of the product.

Abstract: A material handling machine includes a linkage assembly connected to a machine frame of the material handling machine. The linkage assembly configured to transport material from a front side of the machine frame to a rear side of the machine frame. The linkage assembly includes a first and a second guide rails associated with the machine frame. The linkage assembly further includes a first boom and a second boom having one end pivotally connected to the first guide rail and the second guide rails. A first and a second lift mechanism are pivotally connected to the first boom and second boom, respectively.

Abstract: A compact five-speed transmission planetary gear train includes a first, second, third, and fourth planetary gear sets between an input and an output as well as first, second, and third brakes and first, second and third clutches. The first, second and third brakes and first, second and third clutches are selectively actuatable to provide five different forward speeds and a four different reverse speeds between the input and the output.

Abstract: A compact five-speed transmission planetary gear train includes a first, second, third, fourth and fifth planetary gear sets between an input and an output as well as first, second, third and fourth brakes and first and second clutches. The first, second, third and fourth brakes and first and second clutches are selectively actuatable to provide five different forward speeds and a plurality of different reverse speeds between the input and the output.

The compact transmission also includes a first brake, second brake, third brake, fourth brake, first clutch, and second clutch associated with the planetary gear train, the first brake, second brake, third brake, fourth brake, first clutch, and second clutch being configured such that setting each forward and reverse speed of the compact transmission is accomplished via actuation of two of the first brake, second brake, third brake, fourth brake, first clutch, and second clutch.

Abstract: A bushing includes a hollow shell including an inner surface having central axis, and a sleeve surrounded by the shell. First members are each spaced angularly about the axis, contact the inner surface along the shell, contact and extend along the sleeve, and extend radially between the shell and the sleeve. Second members are each spaced angularly about the axis, releasably secured to the inner surface along the shell, spaced angularly from the first members, extend radially from the inner surface toward the sleeve, and spaced radially from the sleeve.
