Abstract: A method for pivoting a travel unit on a machine frame of a road milling machine between an outer end position and an inner end position offset toward a center of the machine relative to the outer end position, the road milling machine having a travel mechanism with multiple travel units, of which at least one travel unit is height-adjustable via a lifting column, comprising the steps of positioning a support foot mounted on the machine frame in a ground contact position to support the machine frame, lifting the travel unit, pivoting the travel unit between the outer end position and the inner end position, lowering the travel unit, and positioning the support foot in a stowed position.

Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to connectors that enable two structures or devices to be coupled together in a manner that enables consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications and power transfer. The connector integrates power and alignment such that when two connectors are coupled together the power connections are also responsible for connector alignment. The connector alignment ensures that contactless communication channels, spanning between the connectors, are aligned to enable consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications.

Abstract: Conduit structures for guiding extremely high frequency (EHF) signals are disclosed herein. The conduit structures can include EHF containment channels that define EHF signal pathways through which EHF signal energy is directed. The conduit structures can minimize or eliminate crosstalk among adjacent paths within a device and across devices. Launch structures that interface with waveguides are also disclosed herein. Launch structures can control the EHF interface impedance between a contactless communication unit and the waveguide. Waveguide structures discussed herein are designed to provide maximum bandwidth with minimal jitter over a desired distance.

Abstract: Systems and apparatus for electromagnetic communications are provided. One of the apparatuses include a communication module, the communication module including: a printed circuit board; a plurality of integrated circuit packages, each integrated circuit package including at least one transmitter, receiver, or transceiver; a plurality of signal guiding structures, each signal guiding structure being associated with a corresponding integrated circuit package of the plurality of integrated circuit packages; and one or more signal blocking structures positioned between one or more pairs of integrated circuit packages.

Abstract: In an emergency oxygen supply system of an aircraft equipped with a pressurized cabin, breathable gas is supplied by a gas generator (1) for generating an oxygen-enriched gas either from the ambient air, or from air tapped from the engine, or from fresh water. The generator may also generate practically pure oxygen. A mixed gas is produced in a mixing unit (14) from the breathable gas and oxygen as needed especially in short duration transition periods to meet official regulations. The oxygen partial pressure in the mixed gas is varied or controlled depending on the cabin pressure. The breathable gas is fed in a constant mass flow through an on-board distribution network to the breathing masks connected to the network. Selectable masks for the crew may receive pure oxygen while most other masks for the passengers receive mixed gas having an adequate oxygen content.
