  Caterpillar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A caterpillar is the larval form of a lepidopteran (a member of the insect order comprising butterflies and moths).
Caterpillars have six true legs (being hexapods) on the thorax, up to four pairs of prolegs on the middle segments of the abdomen, and sometimes a single pair of prolegs on the last abdominal segment.
Many species of birds and animals consider caterpillars to be a tasty protein snack, so the caterpillars have evolved several methods of protecting and/or camouflaging themselves.

 Encyclopedia: IDF Caterpillar D9   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Caterpillar D9 is a large track-type tractor (commonly referred to as a bulldozer) with caterpillar tracks designed and manufactured by Caterpillar Inc..
On the 4th of June, 2004 a Granby, Colorado, USA resident by the name of Marvin Heemeyer ran amok driving a modified D9 and destroyed several houses and community buildings in the small farming village of Granby.
Caterpillar Inc. does not manufacture a military version of the D9 per se, but the attributes that make the D9 popular for major construction projects make it desirable for military applications as well, and it has been particularly effective for the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

A caterpillar drive transmits its driving force to the conveyor by means of a caterpillar chain made of precision steel rollers with driving dogs that mesh with the lengths of the conveyor chain.
In contrast, a rotary drive is mounted on an inner floating frame that pivots around a reducer output shaft, the floating frame acting as a torque arm against the fixed outer frame.
In this embodiment, the floating frame 63 is biased in the direction Q by springs 55 and the sensed chain pull is in the direction P. A force sensor assembly 65 mounts the force sensor 31 between a floating frame face 67 and a bracket or plate 69 of the assembly 65.

 Caterpillar D7H High Drive
Caterpillar invented this design a number of years ago introducing it first on their largest machines and later on the smaller ones.
This means that the drive sprocket (the elevated unit) does not need to also support the weight of the machine.
To accomplish this the drive train is mounted fairly high in the machine with the cross shaft exiting the sides of the dozer about where you see the "high drive" sprocket.

 The Naked Scientists Science Discussion Forum - Space Propulsion Idea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
There is a submarine propulsion design, called magnetohydrodynamic propulsion (or the caterpillar drive) that uses electromagnetic fields to propel the submarine through the water.
Because of this, I would assume that the EM fields produced by the caterpillar drive could push against this particulate fluid, and thus pushing the ship forward.
Because the primary EM field is constantly producing real particle-antiparticle pairs from the vacuum, there is always a source of particles for the caterpillar drive to push against.

Caterpillar free download The program is based on the powerful model-free method of time series analysis "Caterpillar" (another name is SSA - Singular Spectrum Analysis).
The basic "Caterpillar" algorithm for analyzing one-dimensional time series consists of transformation of the one-dimensional time series to the trajectory matrix by means of a delay procedure (this gives the name to the whole technique); Singular Value Decomposition of the trajectory matrix; reconstruction of the original time series based on a number of selected eigenvectors.
The result of the "Caterpillar" processing is a natural decomposition of the time series into several components, which can often be identified as trends, seasonalities and other oscillatory series, or noise components.

 IBDozing Discussion Groups
It is my understanding that the initial, primary reason for the high drive was to isolate the final drive gears and bearings from ground impact, on the largest dozers, and a secondary reason was to enable the removal of a final drive assembly without removing the track.
The high drive concept is as much a part of the “evolution” of track design as the oval track is. There have been lots of track designs, with lots of features that are directed to a wide variety of specific objectives.
Planetary final drives mounted independantly of the track frame were essential, putting them up in the air to take the weight of the machined off them even better to buld a lighter and cheaper final drive, easy access is an extra benefit, as is the hi-speed/low torque gearing to reduce gear loads.
