Abstract:
There is described a vehicle or vehicle frame including a first elongated sub-frame and a second sub-frame rotatably connected to one end of the first sub-frame for pivotal movement about the longitudinal axis of the first sub-frame. A walking beam is provided at each of the elongated sides of the first sub-frame in parallel, spaced apart relation thereto. A walking beam pivot assembly extends transversely across the first sub-frame adjacent the other end of the first sub-frame and each of the walking beams is pivotally connected at a point intermediate along its length to a respective outer end of the pivot assembly whereby each walking beam is suspended for independent pivotal movement in its own vertical plane. A connector is provided to join a first end of each walking beam to the adjacent end of the second sub-frame to permit simultaneous pivotal movements of the walking beams and the second sub-frame in their respective, mutually perpendicular vertical planes.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for interaction of satellite and Internet protocol features in content delivery systems are presented. Using such systems and methods, the delivery of some content to the same product by Satellite delivery, other content by IP delivery, and still other content by both Satellite and IP delivery can enhance the utility of both the content and the product for an end user and can further optimize the costs and quality of service associated with delivering the content. A method of providing content and data to a combined satellite and IP network receiver is presented, including broadcasting via satellite content and data to the receiver, and sending via an IP based communications network content and data to the receiver, where the content and data provided over the Satellite broadcast enables capabilities of the receiver needed to consume content received by IP delivery, and the content and data provided via IP delivery enables capabilities of the receiver needed to consume content received from the satellite broadcast.
