Abstract: The hydraulic cylinder (1) has a rotatable rod with a nut (4) which may be connected to the clutch pedal. The rod rotates in a bearing (7), and the nut screws onto a spindle (5) in a cup-shaped piston (12).  The edge forming the pressure face (9) of the piston slides into an annular slot in the cylinder housing to push fluid through an exit port (10) leading into a pipe leading to the clutch withdrawal cylinder. There are seals (11) on the inside and outside faces of the slot. The piston has a flat end with a coil spring (6) urging it into the annular slot. A bleed hole (13) in the flat end of the piston equalizes pressure inside and outside.

Abstract: A Digital Rights Management (DRM) system has a plurality of DRM
servers performing DRM functionality and an entering DRM-E server is enrolled
into the system by an enrolling DRM-R server such that the entering DRM-E
server is to be trusted within the system. The DRM-E server sends an enrollment
request to the DRM-R server including a proffering identification and a public key
(PU-E). The DRM-R server validates the proffering identification, and, if the
request is to be honored, generates a digital enrollment certificate with (PU-E) for
the DRM-E server to enroll such DRM-E server into the DRM system. The now-enrolled
DRM-E server with the generated enrollment certificate is able to employ
same to issue DRM documents within the DRM system.

Abstract: Erosion-resistant liquid/liquid hydrocyclone liners, wherein the weight and cost of
the liners are kept within acceptable parameters through the construction of a composite
hydrocyclone liner, comprised of two or more different materials. The hydrocyclone liner
includes a head section that is fashioned, primarily, of a highly erosion-resistant material,
such as tungsten carbide. The liner also includes a separate separation section that is
primarily fashioned of a material that may be less erosion-resistant but which is less brittle
and more physically durable than that used to construct the head section. As a result of this
composite construction, the liner is less likely to fail mechanically during installation or
use. The head and separation sections are removably affixed to one another. 
The separation section of the hydrocyclone liner is provided with one or more structural
supports to provide mechanical strength and resistance to bending. A liner is also
described having a removable involute insert of highly erosion resistant material.
