Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for actuating a clutch of a vehicle, wherein a movement of the clutch pedal is transmitted by means of a cinematic system to a clutch operator. The clutch pedal (l) is coupled via the cinematic system to at least one energy accumulator by means of a contact element which can be displaced along a predetermined contour range (5,5') and which is used to adapt the pedal force characteristic line. According to the invention, the contour line can be predefined at least partially by shaping the spring element which is used as an energy accumulator. The invention also relates to an arrangement for actuating the clutch of a vehicle, which comprises a leaf spring which is used as an energy accumulator, whereon the contact element is fixed, and a contour area which is provided on a curve disk and which is rigidly connected to the clutch pedal.

Abstract: A method and system of facilitating development of fluids having a variety of elemental compositions are disclosed. A graphical user interface allows user interaction with a lab deposition system to control fluid drop ejection of fluids through multiple nozzles. Fluid drop ejection and drop formation can vary from fluid to fluid, and require adjustments to waveform parameters of a drive pulse applied to the multiple nozzles. The system implements a drop watcher camera system to capture real-time still and video images of fluid drops as they exit the multiple nozzles. The captured drop formation of the fluid drops are displayed to the user, and based on the images the waveform parameters are adjusted and customized specific for individual fluid. In addition to adjusting the drive pulse that effects fluid drop ejection, a tickle pulse can also be adjusted and customize to prevent clogging of the nozzles.

Flexible cover lamina 12C is pressed into selective engagement base lamina 12B defining a series of sequential storage units 10X and 10Y and 10Z with frangible seal 14F (no hatching) and destruct seal 14D (double hatching). Sealed medication chamber 16M is proximate the destruct seal within each storage unit. Chamber access region 16R is proximate the frangible seal within each storage unit. Diagonal chamber seal 14S (single hatching) extends across each storage unit. Breachable bubble 16B is positioned within each chamber access region and expands under applied pressure towards the frangible seal of the storage unit (see FIGS. 1A and 1B). The expansion separates the opposed laminae until the bubble produces perimeter breach 12P (see FIG. 1C) in the frangible seal. Flexible peel flap 14C is formed by the flexible cover lamina along the breached frangible seal as the bubble breaches. The flap is peeled away from the base lamina by the user, parting the chamber seal to open the medication chamber providing access to the medication stored therein.
