A vehicle (10) includes a suspension system controlled by a suspension controller (12). The system further comprises a user interface unit (18) which includes a series of symbols (26, 28, 30) which remain secret until illuminated and each of which is associated with a particular operating mode of the suspension system. The symbols are illuminated only when their associated mode is available to a user for selection. The operating modes are selected by a series of push button switches (20, 22, 24) which are associated with the symbols (26, 28, 30) and are disabled unless their associated symbol is illuminated.

A Trailer hitch for towing a four wheeled vehicle. The hitch has a fixed in place portion attached to the towing vehicle and a translatable portion attached to the vehicle being towed. The translatable portion is spring biased to a center position. A damper is attached between the fixed portion and the translatable portion to prevent abrupt movement of the translatable portion. The hitch provides controlled lateral movement between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle to diminish wear on the front end parts and tires of the towed vehicle.

A yarn package holder on a creel, with a mechanism for rapidly stopping the yarn package holder once yarn is no longer being drawn. The mechanism has a pivoted member, one end of which carries a transverse braking control arm that overlies the yarn, and the other end of which is secured to an end of a tensioning cord wrapped at least once around a pulley on the yarn package holder. When yarn is being drawn, the braking control arm is lifted, which has the effect the loosening the cord around the pulley so that the braking effect is small. When yarn is no longer drawn, the braking control arm drops, which has the effect of tightening the cord around the pulley and rapidly stopping the yarn package holder.

A method is provided for replacing an existing service pipe carrying fluid to an outlet within a property with a replacement service pipe. In the method the outlet is disconnected within the property from the existing service pipe in such a way that both during and after disconnection fluid is prevented from escaping into the property. A desired length of replacement service pipe is then fed into the existing service pipe in such a way that during and after the feeding step fluid is prevented from escaping into the property. The outlet is then connected to the outlet end of the replacement pipe in such a way that during the connection fluid is prevented from escaping into the property and after the connection step fluid is allowed to pass to the outlet solely by way of the replacement pipe.

A mixture in-oil antifoam composition comprising a mixture of a defoaming agent comprising a defoamer in an oil carrier, a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB number less than about 10, and water. In particular, the defoamer is particulate hydrophobic silica dispersed in oil and the non-ionic surfactant has an HLB number of between 2 to 8.

A hydraulically actuated driving tool is provided with a ground engageable member which is driven into the ground by the action and reaction of a drive mass which is free to slide within the tool and which is repetitively forced away from and back to the ground engageable member in a manner determined by a hydraulic control system. Each repeated cycle of operation engenders two separate forces to drive the ground engageable member into the ground, one being the force exerted by high pressure fluid in the hydraulic control system when the drive mass is forced away from the ground engageable member and the other being the force exerted when the drive mass impacts back upon the ground engageable member. A switch means is provided whereby the returning drive mass initiates the next cycle of operation of the hydraulic control system.

A combination crutch and knee walker device converts between a rolling knee walker configuration and a crutch configuration through a single folding or expanding articulation that requires no tools or skillset. The device includes a first support bar that forms the primary lever of support. A second support bar pivotally joins the first support bar at a hinged junction, generally three-quarters down from the top of the first support bar. The support bars fold and expand about the hinged junction to convert between crutch and knee walker. A panel hingedly joins at the hinged junction serving as a supportive platform for an upper body, such as the arm or the knee, depending on the crutch or knee walker configuration. Further, the mobility function, such as rolling rollers, will restrict or free rotation depending on the selected configuration of the device.

An apparatus, method, and machine-readable medium are described for establishing peer-to-peer (“P2P”) communication channels. In particular, in one embodiment, a matchmaker service performs a series of operations to service match requests received from a group of mobile devices. In one embodiment, the matchmaker service groups the match requests into matchable sets based on the application for which the requests are received and one or more variables associated with the application. Match requests within each match set can then be matched based on variables such as the NAT type, connection type and language associated with each of the mobile devices. Other variables such as geographical location, experience level, and age of the match requests may also be used to render match decisions.

We describe techniques which relate to bi-directional, in particular backwards, debugging of computer programs. Thus we describe identifying processes with shared memory access, such as threads or multicore processes, by arranging process (thread) memory ownership to deliberate provoke memory page faults to identify and handle concurrent memory access by multiple threads in such a manner as to enable deterministic replay, and hence backwards debugging.

A protection apparatus for a superconductive magnet unit has a support frame for location relative to a portion of the superconductive magnet unit. The support frame is arranged to carry a buffer for protecting the superconductive magnet unit from a shock load.
