Abstract: A driver circuit of an image display apparatus comprises driver circuit with a class A/B push-pull stage (T 3 , T 5 ). The driver circuit contains an n-type pull transistor (T 3 ), an n-type control transistor (T 2 ) with a main current channel terminal coupled to a control electrode of the pull transistor (T 2 ) and a voltage source (V) applying a predetermined voltage over a series connection of the control electrode-main current channel terminals of the control transistor (T 2 ) and the pull transistor (T 3 ). The current from the control transistor (T 2 ) flows to a p-type push transistor (T 5 ) via a current mirror (T 4 , T 5 ). An input transistor (T 1 ) draws all of the current from the control transistor (T 2 ) via a node ( 142 ) between the control transistor (T 2 ) and the pull transistor (T 3 ) to control the ratio between the currents through these transistors (T 2 , T 3 ). The input of the driver circuit has a direct control over the current through the input transistor (T 1 ) that does not include a feedback through the control transistor (T 2 ).

Abstract: L'appareil de la présente invention étire le ligament carpien et le ligament annulaire du carpe, ainsi que les structures superficielles et les muscles de la main, en toute sécurité sous la surveillance précise du patient ou d'un professionnel de santé. Différents modes de réalisation de l'appareil de l'invention comprennent un logement destiné à accueillir la main du patient grâce à une partie ouverte sur le dessus et deux régions internes adaptés et configurées pour toucher la zone thénar et la zone hypothénar de la paume du patient. Par ailleurs, un couvercle fermant, qui vient en regard de la partie ouverte sur le dessus du logement comprend un élément à pression se plaçant sur le dos de la main et configuré pour y exercer une pression lorsqu'on appuie sur le couvercle et/ou qu'on le ferme. Ainsi, l'action des forces opposées des zones internes agissant sur la zone thénar et la zone hypothénar de la paume, lorsque l'élément à pression agit sur la partie dorsale de la main, est d'amener le ligament carpien et le ligament annulaire du carpe à s'étirer, ce qui crée une expansion du tunnel carpien et soulage la pression sur le nerf médian.

Abstract: A fluid transfer nozzle for fuel oil and other fluid products allows for the one step removal of locking caps for vertical filling pipes. The locking cap includes a detent mechanism that, under the force of gravity, engages an obstruction within an input port of the pipe, preventing its rotation and therefore its removal. The nozzle has a socket within its mouth that engages the cap to allow rotation to the cap with rotation of the nozzle. Also within the nozzle mouth is a magnetic element that generates a magnetic field to draw the detent mechanism into an unlocked position against the force of gravity. With the cap so unlocked, the nozzle may be rotated to loosen the cap and allow its removal.
