Abstract: The present disclosure provides a linear actuator apparatus, magnetic sensor system and method of use for detecting a position of a component driven by a rotatable mechanism in a linear direction. A magnetic sensing device comprising both a multi-turn (MT) sensor and a single turn (ST) sensor is provided within the same semiconductor package and placed in the vicinity of the rotatable mechanism. A magnet is mounted on the rotatable mechanism, such that, as the mechanism rotates, a rotating magnetic field is generated. The MT sensor measures the number of turns of the rotating magnetic field, which is translated to the number of turns of the rotatable mechanism. The ST sensor measures the angle of the rotating magnetic field, which is translated to an angular position of the rotatable mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for transport and storage of excavator attachments. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a container for securing excavator attachments on a trailer. A container for retaining an excavator attachment on a trailer comprises a lower portion including a base, a pair of opposing end walls, and a front wall; a lid connected to the lower portion and arranged to pivot between a first position, in which the container may receive an excavator attachment, and a second position, in which the excavator attachment is retained by the container; and a coupling configured to secure the container to a trailer such that the end walls of the lower portion are adjacent side walls of the trailer and the front wall of the lower portion is adjacent a front wall of the trailer, wherein a depth of the lid, in a direction perpendicular to the base of the container, is greater than a depth of the lower portion.

Abstract: A securing system for securing an item of plant machinery to a trailer comprises a retainer disposed in a forward region of the trailer, the retainer comprising a recess for receiving a part of a dozer blade of said plant machinery, and the retainer being configured such that movement of a dozer blade engaged with the recess is restricted in forwards, rearwards and upwards directions relative to a floor of the trailer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for whitening teeth using a fluid delivery toothbrush to deliver a bleaching liquid to the teeth during brushing. The fluid delivery toothbrush may be manual or powered, delivering fresh relatively high strength bleaching liquid to the tooth surfaces, preferably on a daily basis, for one to three minutes.
