摘要:
The invention relates to safety improvements for mowers incorporating a chipper, and/or catcher. In one aspect the invention provides safety improvements that only allow operation of the chipper when the mower is below a predetermined threshold ride height. In another aspect, the mower includes one or more side skirts to prevent body parts from entering the cutting zone under the mower. In a still further aspect, the mower has a rear flap including a sub-flap. The mower is arranged so that the sub flap remains closed when a catcher is installed.

A lawn mower with an integral chipper including a deck that has a volute shape with a rearwards-facing funnel along one side, expanding towards and exiting at the rear of the deck, a skirt is arranged around the perimeter of the deck to enclose a cutting space, a handle, front and rear wheel sets, and a motor having a drive shaft extending downwards through the deck. The mower also having grass cutting blades and shredder blades connected to the drive shaft, and the chipper blades located above the grass cutting blades. The mower also having a chipper tube running through the deck and opening above the chipper blades. The mower also having a power take-off mechanism connecting to the rear wheels and the motor, and adapted to drive the rear wheels in use.

A control system for a rail vehicle system including a lead powered unit and a remote powered unit is provided. The system includes a user interface, a master isolation module and a slave controller. The user interface is disposed in the lead powered unit and is configured to receive an isolation command to turn on or off the remote powered unit. The master isolation module is configured to receive the isolation command from the user interface and to communicate an instruction based on the isolation command. The slave controller is configured to receive the instruction from the master isolation module. The slave controller causes the remote powered unit to supply tractive force to propel the rail vehicle system when the instruction directs the slave controller to turn on the remote powered unit. The slave controller causes the remote powered unit to withhold the tractive force when the instruction directs the slave controller to turn off the remote powered unit.

A tool for scribing a longitudinal groove on an elongate cylindrical rod suitable for implanting as a prosthetic in a living being supports the rod in a linear groove on a bed of a frame of the tool. A track is mounted on the frame and runs parallel to the groove. A carrier mounted on the track can slide on the track in constant spaced relation to and along the groove. A scribe mounted on the carrier extends toward the groove to contact a rod in the predetermined position. A preferred version of the tool has a clamp mounted on the bed for clamping the rod in the predetermined position. Additional features allow for precise angular positioning of the rod and for scribing a dashed line on the rod. In use, the tool operator places the rod in the predetermined position in the groove. The scribe is then pressed into contact with the rod. While the scribe is in pressed contact with the rod, the operator slides the carrier along the track.
摘要:
A seabed anchor (20) is fixed to and deployable from an ROV (10) for positively anchoring the ROV (10) to the seabed (100). The seabed anchor (20) comprises three nested telescoping tubes (26, 28, & 30). The upper end of the outermost tube (26) is fixed to the ROV (10). A rotary drill bit (38) is carried on the output shaft of a motor (34) that is mounted on the lower end of the innermost tube (30). The nested assembly of three telescopic tubes (26, 28, 30) can be controllably extended and retracted by controlled operation of a hydraulic ram or other linear actuator coupled between the outer tube (26) and the inner tube (30). Each of the tubes (26, 28 & 30) carries a respective one or two pairs of inflatable packets (40, 42, & 44) that are normally uninflated and lie quiescent within respective recesses in the sides of the tubes where the packers do not interfere with telescopic relative movements of the tubes. To set the seabed anchor (20), the drill bit (38) is rotated and forced downwards into the seabed (100) to form a bore. When the bore is at its full depth, the packers (40, 42, & 44) are inflated to force the packers into penetrating engagement with the seabed (100) surrounding the bore, thereby anchoring the ROV (10) to the seabed (100). The seabed anchor (20) allows the ROV (10) to be firmly anchored onto the seabed (100) to resist upward reaction forces arising from ROV-carried geotechnical tools and/or sensors (e.g. a soil sampling tool) being made to penetrate the seabed (100). The seabed anchor (20) is particularly useful for ROVs which are neutrally buoyant or slightly positively buoyant, and which therefore have negligible weight (when fully submerged) for holding them down onto the seabed against upward reaction forces.

A method for communicating data in a rail vehicle consist includes transmitting first data at a first rail vehicle of the consist over a power supply conductor to a second, different rail vehicle in the consist, where at least one rail vehicle of the consist receives direct electrical power from the power supply conductor. The method also includes monitoring the power supply conductor for second data at the first rail vehicle and receiving the second data over the power supply conductor at the first rail vehicle for use by a first system onboard the first rail vehicle. In one aspect, the transmitting step comprises transmitting the first data over one or more of a catenary line or a third rail that supplies the electrical power.

摘要:
A wireless repeater with features that improve the server-donor antenna isolation including multi-purpose server and donor mounting plates that each carry an antenna feed circuit board and associated antenna elements mounted in a back-to-back arrangement with the duplex repeater electronics board sandwiched between the server and donor mounting plates. To improve the server-donor antenna isolation, one or both mounting plates may include corner, side tabs, which may be asymmetric, and raised walls around one or both mounting plates. In addition, the radomes covering the donor antenna and/or the server antennas may carry one or more parasitic conductors, such as a two parasitic strips arranged in parallel lines or for parasitic strips arranged in a square configuration.
