Abstract: A torsion axle arrangement is provided wherein the spindle is mounted to the suspension link by a keyed connection facilitated with a selectively orientable disc then fixed to the suspension link according to a given application. That connection is maintained by a bolt passing through the suspension link and engaging a mating groove in the spindle. The bolt is anchored within the suspension link by a threaded connection internal to the suspension link. The shape of the key can be selected as desired for immediate source identification.

Abstract: A stream processing execution engine evaluates development-time performance characteristic estimates in combination with run-time parameters to schedule execution of stream processing software components in a stack of a stream processing application that satisfy a defined performance criterion in a heterogeneous hardware device. A stream processing application includes a stack of interdependent stream processing software components. A stream processing execution engine evaluates one or more performance characteristics of multiple computational resources in the heterogeneous hardware device. Each performance characteristic is associated with performance of a computational resource in executing a computational-resource-dependent instance of a stream processing software component. The stream processing execution engine schedules within the run-time environment a computational resource on which to execute a computational-resource-dependent instance of one of the stream processing software components.

Abstract: A multi-axle leaf spring suspension having a compliant equalizer. The leaf springs are mounted one behind the other on each side of the vehicle. Adjacent ends of the leaf springs are pivotally attached to the compliant equalizer. The compliant equalizer is pivotally mounted to a vehicle frame. The compliant equalizer comprises a pair of arms that are pivotally connected to each other in a scissor-like fashion. One end of each arm is pivotally connected to the end of a leaf spring. The other end of each arm is cooperatively arranged to contain and compress a spring member between them. The compliant equalizer reduces the magnitude of shocks that would be other wise transmitted to the suspension and frame by absorbing them through compression of the spring member.
