Abstract: A permanent magnet is rotated about an axis extending between opposing north and south poles. The magnetic field of the rotated permanent magnet interacts with magnetic fields of permanent magnets carried by a shuttle for repelling and attracting the fixed permanent magnets, and providing a linear reciprocating movement of the shuttle responsive to the favorable rotary motion of the rotated permanent magnet where the force of the linear motion is captured by an energy storage device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel structure and process for detecting protocol errors on a communications bus. According to one aspect of the invention, a protocol error detector comprises a physical error detector, a sequential error detector, and a logical error detector, each detecting physical, sequential, and logical protocol violations, respectively, and signaling a bus transaction error when a protocol violation is detected. In one embodiment, the protocol error detector substantially simultaneously checks each bus transaction for physical, sequential, and logical protocol violations. In another embodiment, the protocol error detector signals a detected bus transaction protocol violation substantially coincident with the bus transaction.

Abstract: A replacement endless drive track for use on a heavy duty tracked vehicle such as a bulldozer or tank includes a reinforced polymeric drive belt, two parallel sets of closely spaced rail blocks adjacent the drive belt, a plurality of drive pins extending between opposing ones of the rail blocks, and supporting members adjoining the drive belt and the rail blocks. The rail blocks are substantially Z-shaped, such that a forward portion of one rail block is offset and overlaps the rearward portion of a directly adjacent rail block. The rail blocks, drive pins and drive treads may be comprised of a polymeric material which is harder than the polymeric material of the drive belt. The drive pins may alternatively be disposed at a lateral end of the supporting members to accommodate a tracked vehicle with peripherally disposed drive sprockets. In addition, the frame of the tracked vehicle may be adapted to provide for attachment of widened rollers which roll directly on the track for smoother and quieter travel. In an alternative manner, a conventional endless track may be modified to accommodate the widened rollers by fixing a plurality of supporting pads to the grousers of the endless track, the widened rollers riding directly on the supporting pads. The conventional endless track may be further modified to include rotatable bushings over the existing pins or pin and bushing arrangements.

Abstract: A modular endless track drive system for use on a track vehicle such as a bulldozer is made up of a number of polymeric drive modules interconnected with polymeric master links. Each drive module includes a plurality of drive members with lateral frictional drive faces for engagement with a drive wheel, each master link having similarly configured drive faces. The drive wheel is provided with drive surfaces shaped to match the shape of the lateral drive faces on the drive modules and master links and/or a sprocket for engaging with additional drive faces on the drive modules and master links. A drive module is made by molding a polymeric multiple drive member structure atop a plurality of base portions, encasing one or more connecting members therein with their ends exposed. The master links are made in a similar fashion, but with upper and lower base portion parts for fastening the drive module connector members therebetween to form an endless track. The system is readily installed by assembling the necessary drive modules and all but one of the master links to form a track with two disconnected ends, laying the assembled track linearly across the ground, positioning a track vehicle thereover, looping the track over the wheels of the track vehicle, and installing the final master link to form the endless track. Repairs to the system are made by simply removing and replacing broken drive modules and master links in situ.

Abstract: A detachable auxiliary load-carrying apparatus for mobile equipment includes first frame structure fixed to the mobile equipment, second frame structure detachably connectable to the first frame structure and having at least one pair of wheels rotatably mounted thereon, a rod and retaining pin for detachably connecting the first frame structure to the second frame structure, and a frame tilting hydraulic ram on the mobile equipment for varying the distribution of weight between wheels on the mobile equipment and the wheels on the second frame structure by tilting a rearward portion of the mobile equipment. The apparatus further includes a member fixed under the rearward portion of the mobile equipment for pivotably supporting the rearward portion of the mobile equipent on the second frame structure, and one or more steel plates on opposing sides of the second frame structure for holding the pivotably supporting member above the second frame structure. When the first and second frame structures are connected to one another, the frame tilting hydraulic ram may be operated to variably tilt the rearward portion of the mobile equipment and thereby vary the load distribution between the wheels on the mobile equipment and the wheels on the second frame structure.

The machine includes a frame and an uprooting mechanism for uprooting and removing vegetation from the ground, the uprooting mechanism being rotatably supported by the frame and driven by a source of power. A soil separating mechanism is driven by the source of power for separating the soil from the uprooted vegetation and for conveying the uprooted vegetation away from the ground at an acute angle relative the ground, the soil separating mechanism being rotatably supported by the frame. The soil separating mechanism includes a first and a second end, the first end being disposed adjacent the uprooting mechanism, the first end receiving thereon the uprooted vegetation and attached soil removed from the ground by the uprooting mechanism. A collecting container is disposed adjacent the second end of the soil separating mechanism for collecting the uprooted vegetation when the uprooted vegetation has been separated from the soil.
