An internal combustion engine to electric motor conversion system for a work machine is provided. The electric motor conversion system is sized to substantially conform to a footprint of the internal combustion engine on the work machine. The electric motor conversion system includes an electric motor, a power distribution unit and a connecting bracket. The electric motor is configured for direct mounting on a frame of the work machine. The power distribution unit is separate from and positioned atop the electric motor. The power distribution unit controls operation of the electric motor. The connecting bracket is separate from the electric motor and power distribution unit. The connecting bracket includes a base, first attachment elements extending from a lower surface of the base for attachment to the electric motor, and second attachment elements extending from an upper surface of the base for attachment to the power distribution unit.

A vibration type actuator includes a vibrator, including a protrusion and a piezoelectric element, that is arranged to vibrate in response to a voltage, and a contact member having a contact surface which the protrusion contacts. The vibrator and the contact member rotate relative to each other around a first axis. The vibrator is tilted to the contact surface by a predetermined angle.

A test stand for an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising: a base arranged to make contact with the ground; a frame extending from the base, the frame comprising at least a first side portion and a second side portion that define a space therebetween; and a mount slidably attached to the frame within the space, the mount configured to affix to an unmanned aerial vehicle such that the mount and the unmanned aerial vehicle slide within the defined space in a direction parallel to the frame during a test flight.

A swivel foot assembly for a force plate or balance plate is disclosed herein. The swivel foot assembly includes a foot attachment component including a stem portion and a body portion, the stem portion of the foot attachment component configured to be attached to a force plate or balance plate; and a foot base component including a receptacle for receiving the body portion of the foot attachment component, the foot base component configured to be disposed on a support surface. The swivel foot assembly is configured to accommodate an uneven support surface on which a force plate or balance plate is disposed so that a force measurement accuracy of the force plate or balance plate is not adversely affected by stresses resulting from the uneven support surface.

A household appliance having a plurality of feet with height adjustment mechanisms is provided. Each height adjustment mechanism comprising a base portion resting on the floor in connection with a base extension shaft, the base extension shaft being displaceable relative to a foot connection body so as to determine the height of the household appliance. The height adjustment mechanism includes a ring gear mechanically coupled with the base extension shaft so as to be mutually rotatable in engagement. A guide shell is provided so as to be enclosing the ring gear and the worm gear maintaining the two in a mutually interengaging mechanical relationship and said guide shell is fitted within an operating space of a stopper to be held in fixed position by restriction brackets of the stopper.
