摘要： A chainless drive mechanism for a bicycle using pedal arms, one on each side of the bicycle, each pedal arm carrying a pedal engageable with a rider's foot. Each pedal arm is mounted to a crank by a rotating joint and connected to the frame of the bicycle by a link, each link having rotating joints at each end. The cranks are connected by a shaft passing through the hub of to the driven wheel of the bicycle. The cranks may be connected to the driven wheel by a multi ratio free wheeling gear mechanism.

摘要： An electric drive transmission for a skid steered vehicle has a central casing housing a pair of propulsion motors comprising respective stators and rotors, each rotor being coupled to drive a respective through shaft via a respective epicyclic gear change mechanism. The through shafts are coupled at their inboard ends to a controlled differential with an input from a steer motor, and are coupled at their outboard ends to respective epicyclic gear reduction mechanisms. The through shafts are supported in the casing by respective bearings and the propulsion motor rotors are supported on the through shafts by respective bearings. By supporting the rotors on the through shafts rather than in separate bearings to the casing the diameter and speed rating of the requisite rotor bearings can be reduced.

摘要： A plurality of images, including a first image and a second image having a higher resolution than the first image, are aligned by generating an oversampled cross correlation image that corresponds to relative displacements of the first and second images, and, based on the oversampled cross correlation image, determining an offset value that corresponds to a misalignment of the first and second images. The first and second images are aligned to a precision greater than the resolution of the first image, based on the determined offset value. Enhanced results are achieved by performing another iteration of generating an oversampled cross correlation image and determining an offset value for the first and second images. Generating the oversampled cross correlation image may involve generating a cross correlation image that corresponds to relative displacements of the first and second images, and oversampling the cross correlation image to generate the oversampled cross correlation image.

摘要： A device for automatically maintaining a desired water level in a water structure, such as a pond, pool or decorative water fountain. The device includes a reserve tank that is connected to the water structure by an open tube, or pipe, thus allowing the water level in the reserve tank to be the same as the water level in the water structure. When the water level in the structure drops, so does the water level in the device. When the water level in the device drops below a pre-defined level, a water supply switch is activated and more water is added to the reserve tank. As water is added to the reserve tank, water also flows through the open tube into the water structure, and the water levels in the reserve tank and in the water structure both rise at similar rates. When the water level in the reserve tank reaches a pre-defined full level, the water supply switch is de-activated and the flow of water to the reserve tank, and to the water structure, is shut off.

摘要： A digital voice and/or data communication cable hanger provides a saddle support on a shaft fastened to a ceiling or beams or side wall by an integral fastening loop at one end. The other end of the hanger is shaped into a support loop for the cable. A saddle having the support shaft running through it closes the support loop to prevent cable from slipping out. The cable hanger is made by a tool using a rotating spool designed to shape the rigid shaft into a fastening loop at one end and a support loop at the other end. A second support loop can be selectively attached to the shaft between its ends.

摘要： An optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) adapted to route optical signals having at least two different bit rates. The OADM has at least two sets of DWDM channels with channels in a first set having a first bandwidth value, e.g., suitable for the transmission of signals having a bit rate of 10 Gb/s, and channels in a second set having a second bandwidth value, e.g., suitable for the transmission of signals having a bit rate of 40 Gb/s. In one embodiment, the frequencies of the channels from the first set are interleaved with the frequencies of the channels from the second set, and the OADM has first and second optical branches adapted to process optical signals corresponding to the first and second sets, respectively. Initially, the OADM may be configured to process 10-Gb/s signals using the first optical branch only while leaving the second optical branch unutilized. During an upgrade, which adds a 40-Gb/s service to the system, the OADM may be configured to process 40-Gb/s signals using the second optical branch. Advantageously, the upgrade can be performed without or with minimum interruptions to the 10-Gb/s service already in place.

摘要翻译： 适于路由具有至少两个不同比特率的光信号的光分插复用器（OADM）。 OADM具有至少两组DWDM信道，第一组中的信道具有第一带宽值，例如，适合于具有10Gb / s比特率的信号的传输，以及具有第二带宽的第二组中的信道 值，例如，适合于具有40Gb / s比特率的信号的传输。 在一个实施例中，来自第一组的信道的频率与来自第二组的信道的频率交织，并且OADM具有分别适于处理对应于第一和第二组的光信号的第一和第二光分支。 最初，OADM可以被配置为仅在离开第二光学分支时未使用的情况下使用第一光学分支来处理10-Gb / s信号。 在升级过程中，为系统增加了40 Gb / s的服务，OADM可以配置为使用第二个光分支来处理40 Gb / s信号。 有利的是，升级可以在没有或对其已经存在的10Gb / s服务的最小中断的情况下执行。
