Abstract: A weight support device for use with a walking aid to at least partially support a weight of a user. The weight support device includes an elongated guiding body mountable to the walking aid and having a longitudinal axis extending vertically, a connection body slidably mounted to the elongated guiding body for translating along the longitudinal axis, at least one constant force spring rotatably mounted to the elongated guiding body with an outer end of the spring connected to the connection body, and a body securing device for engagement with the user and mounted to the connection body. When the elongated guiding body is mounted to the walking aid, the spring exerts a restoring constant force on the connection body when the connection body moves away from the first end of the elongated guiding body.

Abstract: An operator of a digital audio workstation (DAW) application is able to assign individual tracks of a DAW session for export to specific players within a musical score of a scorewriter application. The DAW operator associates each track with a player identifier, which is retained in association with an interoperable format file generated by the export process. When the scorewriter imports such a file, it extracts the player identifier and uses it to map the track to a scored instrument. The mapping may also depend on a scorewriter arrangement of players for the instruments. The DAW operator may assign multiple tracks representing a given instrument played with different techniques to a single instrument part in a score. The playing techniques for the instruments are also associated with the tracks and may be parsed by the scorewriter to annotate the score with the corresponding notations.

Abstract: A system for inspection of a sewer network. The system comprises: a cleaning nozzle mounted on a hose; an inspection sled having a camera mounted thereon and a nozzle mounting section selectively engageable to the cleaning nozzle; and a position encoder configured to acquire position data representative of the position of the camera inside the conduit while the sled is moved inside the conduit by the movement of the cleaning nozzle and the camera captures images of the inner wall of the conduit. A method for inspection of a sewer network using the system is also provided.
