Title: Hydraulic foot pedal crank arm assembly
Inventor: SHAMSOUTDINOV LUBECK
IPC: B62M3/04
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: The assembly comprises two telescopic crank arms mounted on a spindle, each arm comprising one part fixed to the spindle and a radially outer part carrying a corresponding pedal on an axle 2 and radially slidable relative to the one part. The relative movement is caused by hydraulic fluid controlled by pumping means such that each arm is extended during a downstroke and contracted during an upstroke. Each pedal contains two pinions 19, 20 on the axle 2, each pinion having teeth extending over only part of its periphery and engageable with a corresponding sliding body 25 such that angular movement of the pedal about its axis causes both bodies to move in opposite directions to cause fluid pumping during only part of each revolution of the corresponding crank arm. A member 31 on the axle 2 adjacent one of the pinions 20 has an eccentric periphery and engages the corresponding body 25 to block its movement when not actuated by the pinion.

IPC: H01B1/08
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: A zinc compound is mixed into an alkaline solution wherein a tin salt is dissolved and an aqueous solution of an indium salt is added thereto. The obtained hydroxide or hydrate containing tin, indium and zinc is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature within the range of 110-300{C in the presence of water. Then after filtration and drying, the thus-obtained material is subjected to another heat treatment at a temperature within the range of 300-1000{C in the air, and further subjected to a reduction treatment at a temperature within the range of 150-400{C in a reducing atmosphere, thereby forming zinc oxide-tin containing indium oxide composite particles. With this method there can be obtained zinc oxide-tin containing indium oxide particles having an average particle diameter from 5 nm to 100 nm. The thus-obtained zinc oxide-tin containing indium oxide composite particles are suitable for formation of a transparent conductive coating film having ultraviolet-shielding properties.
