    The article deals with a design of two multi-direction undercarriages making use of ball elements. Their application is presumed in particular to mobile robots requiring high mobility. They can be also used for other equipment, for instance handling carts in storage rooms. In 2005 the new undercarriage models were granted industrial design numbers by the Industrial Property Office. The article describes technical solutions of undercarriages and emphasizes their advantages

    The paper deals with a design of documents and processes applied to plan and control the procedure of testing in software product development. The design respects the principles of the ISO 9126 Standard, the ISO 9000:2000 Standard and the CMM model. The designed system of documents enables a PC support of document turn control by applying the workflow technology.
