Abstract: Disclosed is a movable pedal apparatus for driving a remotely mounted actuator, the movable pedal apparatus comprising: a pedal; a connection member; a first joint through which the pedal is coupled to the connection member, the first joint permitting transfer of rotation of the pedal to the connection member to cause rotation of the connection member; and a second joint through which the connection member is couplable to the remotely mounted actuator, the second joint permitting rotation of the connection member to cause an input to the remotely mounted actuator.

Abstract: Entities are connected directly with screened, trained, and professional local providers, thereby creating a global network of offline data collectors. Technology is leveraged to facilitate direct access for a user entity to a global network of local suppliers that may be recruited, trained, and oriented toward collecting offline information. A central server provides a one-stop solution to fully understand what data or documents are publicly available in global jurisdictions. Products may be made available by the central server and organized by city or country cards, thereby providing a menu of available data or documents.

Abstract: A retention mechanism for an axle assembly includes an axle and a retainer coupled to the axle thereby securing a wheel on the axle. The retention mechanism of the present invention includes a plurality of fins disposed on the retainer and a plurality recesses and extension disposed on the axle. The radial extensions engage the fins such that the retainer is prevented from rotational movement relative to the axle such that frictional wear between the axle and retainer is substantially reduced while also substantially distributing stresses realized within the retainer.
