Abstract: A play set for use with unpowered (e.g. 1/64 scale) toy vehicles having non-steerable,
free rotating wheels includes a closed loop track (10) with a conveyor (18) that raises such
unpowered toy vehicles from a lower end (18A) to an upper, elevated end (18B) and a driven,
tilting roadway (16) that randomly directs toy vehicles from the upper level to either of two
track branches (20,22). At least part of each track branch (62, 66, 72, 74) can be opened to
release a toy vehicle from the track. A merge track section (24) joins together a lower level end
of each of the two track branches and leads to the lower end of the conveyor. The upper end of
the conveyor and the tilting roadway are simultaneously supported by a single (14) and driven
by a single motor (220).

Abstract: The expansion device has a
linear shape and is divided in three parts, a central part (S1) and two
lateral parts (S2); the central part (S1) is triangular, with one side (S1s) along the
surface of the composite expansion device and the other two sides (S1e)
facing towards the two lateral parts (S2); the lateral parts (S2) have inclined
surface (S2e) in contact with the central part (S1); a hole (So) parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the expansion device passes through the
central part and the lateral parts and houses an expansion screw (Sv)
that, when tightened, brings the two lateral parts (S2) near each other,
thus causing the movement of the central part (S1) towards the
outside. The element (A) to be connected to the first linear element (M) is
provided with a hole to house the first linear element (M) and the
section of the expansion device is such as to adapt to the surface
of the linear element (M) and to the walls of the hole in the element (A)
that houses the first linear element. The hole in the clement (A) to be
connected to the first linear element (M) can have the generic shape of
a drop and consequently the cross section of the connection
device is similar to a trapezium, said trapezium having the minor
base arced, convex and radiused to the oblique sides, which are
such as to rest on the inner surface of the generically drop-shaped
hole, while the major base is shaped in such a way as to adapt to
the surface of the first linear element (M) to be connected.

Abstract: A permanent magnet fault tolerant generator 32 is
driven by a variable speed shaft 34 to create AC power at
terminals 36, converted at 40 to DC power before being
applied to a load 38. The converter 40 is a bidirectional
device which rectifies AC to DC and also acts
as an inverter to synthesise AC from the DC. This
synthesised AC waveform is imposed on the terminals 36 to
maintain a constant magnitude generator output voltage,
regardless of the speed of the shaft 34, and thus
regardless of the EMF of the generator. This results in
reactive currents flowing between the generator 32 and the
converter 40, but allows the generator design have a
reduced current rating, resulting in improved generator
size and weight.

Abstract: A faceplate having at least one opening with a cover. The cover may be removed after
initial use of a circuit board to be replaced with a connector unit through which
conductors may extend to the circuit board to allow for its modification in operation. This
enables the same faceplate to be used for modification purposes and without the
expense entailed with a faceplate of different design. The cover may be such as to
completely cover the whole of the opening. Alternatively, the cover may be provided by
a connector unit which enables interconnection of conductors through the faceplate in
one part of the unit while providing, in another part of the unit, the cover for part of the
opening. This connector unit may then be replaced in the modification by another
connector unit which enables connectors to extend and be connected through the whole
of the opening. Conveniently, a latching arrangement is provided for assembly and
disassembly purposes for both the cover and connector unit with frontal access. This
provides speed of operation with no loose parts required. Also included is a method for
