Abstract: Techniques are presented for a multi-tier distributed frame work for mass configuration of products by design and synthesis. Products are represented as components having hierarchical relationships with one another. The components include form information, function information, behavioral information, and constraint information. Components may be created from scratch or retrieved from a plurality of sources over a network. In some embodiments, the components may include optimization constraints and derived from other components to meet the optimization constraints.

Abstract: A three-wheeled jogging stroller with demountable wheels, a removable seat, a collapsible frame assembly, and a reversing directional seat. The frame assembly in a collapsed condition with the demountable wheels in a demounted condition allow for transportation and storage. The reversing directional seat made up of pivotally connected tubular portions allow for the rider to face forward or backward to the direction of travel at varied reclining angles.

Abstract: A three-wheeled jogging stroller with demountable wheels, a removable cloth-like seat, a collapsible frame assembly, and a reversing directional seat. The frame assembly includes a rear axle assembly with couplers at opposite ends thereof for supporting demountable or removable large diameter spoked wheel pneumatic tires. The rear axle assembly has coupled thereto a pair of angled support members and a single support member. The single support member, attaches pivotally to the rear axle at one end thereof, while at the other end, releasably coupled to an interconnect member in proximity to the outer diameter of the front wheel.
