20150225044 | SURF FIN INCLUDING INJECTION MOLDED PRE-IMPREGNATED COMPOSITE FIBER MATRIX INSERTS - A fin for a water sports board including leading and trailing edges, and a base extending therebetween along a longitudinal base axis. A fin axis extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal base axis, both axes residing within a longitudinal plane. First and second opposed side faces are formed on generally opposed sides of the longitudinal plane. First and second insert pre-preg sheets formed of structural strands bonded by a resin material are disposed adjacent respective ones of the first and second side faces on generally opposed sides of the longitudinal plane. An injection molded resin material is disposed between the first and second insert pre-preg sheets. A core is positioned between the first and second insert pre-preg sheets and is of a density less than the injection molded resin material. | 08-13-2015 |
20150291265 | INJECTION MOLDED SURFBOARD INSERT HAVING PRE-IMPREGNATED COMPOSITE FIBER MATRIX STRUCTURE - An insert for a water sports board, wherein the insert includes a pre-preg flange extending outwardly from an injection molded central housing to provide enhance structural properties of the insert, as well as enhanced intermediate bonding between the injection molded central housing and a surface polymer. The pre-preg flange further improves the strength to weight ratio when compared to conventional inserts. | 10-15-2015 |
20150336641 | THERMOPLASTIC FIBER COMPOSITE WATER SPORTS BOARD AND FIN AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A structure, such as a fin or water sports board, including a core having opposed first and second core outer surfaces. The structure further includes first and second fiber sheets, wherein the first fiber sheet extends along the first core outer surface and the second fiber sheet extends along the second core outer surface. A thermoplastic material impregnates the first fiber sheet and the second fiber sheet and bonds the first fiber sheet and the second fiber sheet to the core. The thermoplastic material defines an outer surface of the structure. | 11-26-2015 |

20150324885 | Presenting Service Options Using a Model of a Vehicle - Service options that can be performed on a vehicle can be presented to the customer using a model of the vehicle. The model can be customized to include visual indications of the services that are recommended and then displayed to the customer so that the customer can quickly and easily identify which services are recommended. As a technician inspects a vehicle, he may use a first computing device, which displays available services for the vehicle, to input the services that are recommended for the vehicle. The customized model can then be generated using the recommended services and displayed on a second computing device to the customer. The customer can select services to be performed by interacting with the customized model. Then, these selections can be transmitted back to the first computing device for display to the technician to allow the technician to commence performing the selected services. | 11-12-2015 |
20160035008 | Allowing a Customer to Select Vehicle Services Prior to Visiting a Service Center - A customer is allowed to select vehicle services prior to visiting a service center. A customer can access a website or mobile application to provide input identifying a vehicle to be serviced. A number of possible services that can be performed on the identified vehicle can then be presented including, in some cases, an estimated cost for such services. The customer may then select one or more services to be performed. In response, the website or mobile application can generate a purchase order that the customer can present to a technician once arriving at the service center thereby allowing the technician to commence work immediately on the vehicle. A vehicle may also be automatically enrolled in a warranty program. The actions required to comply with the warranty program as well as estimated dates when the actions should be performed can be automatically determined. | 02-04-2016 |

20160121721 | WORKING MACHINE - A working machine comprising: a ground engaging structure with a first and second axle, each mounting two wheels; a body supported on the ground engaging structure, a working arm mounted to the body; and a drive arrangement for moving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine, the drive arrangement including a prime mover and transmission. The transmission comprises a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, a first high speed hydraulic motor to drive the first axle to permit the working machine to be drive at relatively high speeds in a first two-wheel drive operating mode, and a second low speed motor a first high speed hydraulic motor to be supplied with hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump to drive the second axle at relatively low speeds and configured to be driven in conjunction with the first motor in a second four-wheel drive operating mode. | 05-05-2016 |
20160121947 | WORKING MACHINE - A base assembly for a working machine. The base assembly comprising a ground engaging structure, an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure, and a connector for connecting the undercarriage to a superstructure that mounts a working arm. A drive arrangement is provided for moving the ground engaging structure to propel, in use, the base assembly and a connected superstructure. The drive arrangement includes a prime mover and a transmission and the drive arrangement is housed within the undercarriage. An electronic control unit (ECU) is provided for controlling the drive arrangement and/or the ground engaging structure. | 05-05-2016 |
20160122971 | WORKING MACHINE - A working machine comprising a ground engaging structure and an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure. A superstructure is rotatably mounted to the undercarriage so as to be rotatable relative to the undercarriage about a first generally upright axis, an operator's cab is rotatably mounted on the superstructure so as to be rotatable relative to the superstructure about a second generally upright axis, and a working arm is rotatably mounted to the superstructure so as to be moveable up and down about a generally horizontal axis. A drive arrangement is provided for driving the ground engaging structure to propel the working machine. The drive arrangement includes an engine and transmission that are housed within the undercarriage, and a majority of the engine is positioned below a level coincident with a lower extent of the superstructure. | 05-05-2016 |
20160122973 | Working Machine - A working machine comprising: a base assembly including a ground engaging structure; an undercarriage connected to the ground engaging structure; a superstructure connected to the undercarriage; a working arm mounted to the superstructure; a connector connecting the undercarriage to the superstructure; and a drive arrangement located in the base assembly for moving the ground engaging structure to propel, in use, the working machine. | 05-05-2016 |
