Abstract: A backhoe loader comprises a front chassis, a rear chassis, a rotatable operator workstation, and a chassis lock mechanism. The front chassis comprises the loading assembly and the rear chassis is connected to the front chassis along a vertical axis joint by a pin lock assembly. The rotatable operator workstation is positioned in the rear chassis, which is positioned inside a bearing mounted cabin which is slewable in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. The operator workstation enables maneuvering of the front chassis with respect to the rear chassis using the pin lock assembly. The chassis lock mechanism is achieved using two single acting hydraulic cylinders that are mounted horizontally on rear chassis. These hydraulic cylinders are actuated during the excavation operation which in turns locks the oscillation of vehicle and front and rear chassis acts rigidly like a single body. This rigidity of the vehicle provides the required stability during excavation.

Abstract: A back-end application computer server may access a location data store containing information about a set of locations to be visited, including location identifiers and location coordinates. The computer server may then prioritize the locations to be visited. A mobile unit data store may contain information about a set of mobile units, including mobile unit identifiers, mobile unit location coordinates, and mobile unit communication addresses. The computer server may then automatically assign each location to a mobile unit based on the location coordinates, the mobile unit location coordinates, at least one geo-fence, and said prioritization. Indications of assigned locations may be transmitted to each mobile unit via the associated mobile unit communication address, and electronic messages may be exchanged to support an interactive user interface display associated with assignments of locations to mobile units.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described to identify potential failures caused by metastability arising from signal propagation between asynchronous clock domains in integrated circuits with multiple operating modes, each mode allowing selected clocks to propagate. Typical integrated circuits have numerous operating modes, and hence numerous possible clock combinations, each combination causing different asynchronous clock-domain crossings, and hence different potential failures. Since verification for even one clock combination is time-consuming, explicitly enumerating and verifying all possible clock combinations is unviable. In practice very few clock combinations are verified, possibly missing failures.

Abstract: A publishing system and method for distributing electronic and paper documents for multiple financial service products is disclosed. The system includes a memory device configured to store policy information for the multiple financial service products associated with each of a plurality of clients to store communication settings for each of the multiple financial service products, the communication settings including contact information and notification preferences, and to store document templates. The system includes a processor configured to process a request for generating notification/alert documents, to generate notification/alert documents by modifying the document templates based on the policy information and communication settings and to store the notification/alert documents in the memory device, and to determine whether the notification/alert documents were not received or received in error.
