Abstract: A Global Positioning System (GPS) based personal athletic performance monitor for providing an athlete with real-time athletic performance feedback data such as elapsed exercise time, distance covered, average pace, elevation difference, distance to go and/or advice for reaching pre-set targets. The monitor is integrated with an AM/FM/TV personal radio, and the athletic performance feedback is provided through a set of audio headphones using an audio module. The monitor can be connected to an external personal computer via a serial or infrared port for further data storage and long term trend analysis, or to a remote computer via modem, where historical performance data is collected and logically compiled from participating athletes worldwide. Results are then transferred to an Internet web site which displays comparison data representing the relative performances of two or more athletes, provides customized individual training advice and virtual competitions, and an opportunity for advertisers to reach highly well defined potential customers. Geographically and demographically targeted advertising messages are also downloaded to the performance monitor while connected to the remote computer.

Title: A water heating tank
Inventor: AXCELL BRIAN P
IPC: F24D17/00
Filed: 1993-04-13
Abstract: A hot water cylinder (10) having upper and lower horizontally extending immersion heaters (13, 12) is provided with a pair of spaced parallel upright baffle plates (14) positioned one on each side of the lower heating element (12) to cause a column of heated water to rise centrally within the cylinder (10) and to circulate downwardly outside the baffles thus to create substantially complete circulation by convection of heated water within at least the lower part of the cylinder to ensure a substantially uniform water temperature therein. In an alternative arrangement of a helical upright heating coil (23) the baffle plate is formed as a cylindrical sleeve (24) within the coil such that heated water rises outside the sleeve (24) and circulates downwardly inside the latter. The provision of the baffle avoids the creation of pockets of cooler water in the base of the cylinder (10) in which bacteria may breed.

Date Aug. 8, 1996A partially spring-loaded drive, particularly for electrically-powered rail vehicles, having a gear which, including an encapsulating gear housing, is seated on the wheel axle, and a pinion that is seated in the gear housing. The coupled motor is fixedly secured to the truck, and the resilient, elastic fastening of the gear housing to the truck is effected by way of at least two elastic spring elements that are mounted nearly vertically and diametrically opposite the pinion shaft, and whose lines of influence extend through the center of the pinion shaft. To avoid the disadvantages associated with truck-side pendulum suspensions of the drive housing outside of the pinion shaft, and provide a solution to the fastening of the gear housing to the truck, with which a stabilizing effect can be achieved for protecting the bearings in addition to an economical minimization of deformation losses of the coupling, a defined radial prestressing of the gear housing (3) with respect to the wheel set (4/5) is established using the transverse elasticity of the spring elements (6). The radial prestressing can usefully be established above and below the gear housing (3) by way of an arrangement of rubber thrust springs having support surfaces.
