Future-proof and highly available axle counting systems will be based on inductive wheel sensor systems with analogue output signals. Decades of experience for Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH and over sixty thousand installations worldwide show that in the long term only this technology will be able to meet the challenges arising from the application environment. Increasing functional demands can ...

Rotaxanes can have topological isomers because of their mechanically interlocked axle and wheel components. Directional are formed when the rotaxanes constructed using an asymmetric a three-dimensional non-symmetrical wheel. In this work, directional [2]rotaxanes were synthesised lariat dibenzo-24-crown-8 ether as component sec-ammonium salt axle. Control over isomer ratio was achieved, demonst...

The paper presents an experience of using orthogonal hexahedral meshes for simulation different processes in machine-building products. Stress state the details suspension a cargo vehicle during movement on random road profile was simulated. Orthogonal lower levers and housing piston rod shock adsorber were used. Thermal elements drive axle its with constant speed calculated inner volume axle. ...

The objective of the present work was to study space allowance in cattle during commercial long haul transport (≥400 km; n = 6,152 journeys). Surveys, delivered to livestock transport carriers, gathered information on the number, BW, and distribution of cattle by trailer compartment as well as the characteristics of the transport vehicles used. Space allowance (SA; m(2)/animal), allometric coef...

The results of this analytical study of wheelchair wheelie performance can be summarized into two wheelchair design equations, or rules of thumb, as developed in the paper. The equation containing the significant parameters involved in popping a wheelie for curb climbing is: fh = 0.8 mg theta c.g. [A] where fh is handrim force, m is the mass of the wheelchair + user less rear wheels, g is accel...

Octaoxa[22]ferrocenophane, 1, was synthesized and employed as the macrocyclic component of [2]rotaxanes. [2]Pseudorotaxanes composed of macrocyclic molecule 1 and dialkylammonium derivatives with a terminal vinyl group undergo end-capping via cross-metathesis of the terminal group with bulky acrylates. The [2]rotaxanes of 1 with axle components having bulky terminal groups, such as 3,5-dimethyl...

Three new [2]rotaxanes with aromatic nitrogen donors appended to the crown ether wheel have been synthesized and used as ligands to coordinate Cd(II) ions. One of these yields a new type of 2-periodic, metal organic rotaxane framework in which the wheel rather than the axle is used to link the metal nodes.
