Abstract: An inhaler for inhaling powdered pharmaceutical compositions from capsules is described, the capsules being plalced before use in a capsule holder disposed in the inhaler. Once the capsule has been inserted in the capsule holder the patient can press an actuating member (7) which can be moved out of a resting position, thereby cooperating with at least one pin which can stuck into the capsule holder. The capsule is pierced by means of the minimum of one pin and the pharmaceutical composition is released. The aim is to further improve such inhalers in terms of their operating comfort. This aim is achieved according to the invention with an embodiment of an inhaler wherein the actuating member is constructed as a double function actuating member (7) by means of which, in a first actuation, the closure element 914) can be unlatched from the lower part (1) in order to pivot the lid (13), and in a second actuation the mouthpiece (12) latched to the plate (9) can be released from the plate (9) such that the mouthpiece (12) can be pivoted away from the lower part (1). Moreover, the mouthpiece (12) which can be pivoted away is provided with a gripping aid (17) which ensures quick and reliable opening of the mouthpiece.

Title: Engine speed control system for outboard motor
Inventor: TAKADA HIDEAKI
IPC: F02D13/02
Filed: 2005-09-06
Granted: 2010-01-05
Abstract: In an engine speed control system for an outboard motor, overrev prevention control is implemented which determines whether the engine overrevs by comparing the detected engine speed and a desired speed and responds to a determination that the engine overrevs (in which case the cause of the engine speed increase is probably reduced load caused by sucking in of air and/or exhaust gas by the propeller) by driving an electric throttle motor in the direction of reducing the throttle opening, thereby lowering the engine speed to the desired speed. Owing to this configuration, the problem of decline in thrust owing to intake of air and/or exhaust gas by the propeller can be quickly overcome irrespective of operator skill, thereby improving power performance and steerability.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a helical cladding bead to the interior surface of a pipe elbow has a rotor mounted to an elbow carriage so as to be rotatable about a primary axis. The elbow carriage is longitudinally movable parallel to the rotor's rotational axis. A radially-movable elbow collar is mounted to the rotor, and has means for mounting a first end of a pipe elbow. The second end of the elbow passes through a stationary frame with centering means for keeping the elbow's curved centerline tangential to the primary axis. A weld arm, extending from a weld arm carriage into the second end of the elbow, is sinuously configured so that it will not interfere with the elbow. The weld arm is rotatable about the primary axis in coordination with the rotor. A weld head is mounted at the extending end of the weld arm so as to remain spatially fixed regardless of rotation of the weld arm. An integrated drive mechanism rotates the rotor, moves the elbow carriage longitudinally, moves the elbow cradle radially, and rotates the weld arm in synchronization with the rotor, all in a coordinated fashion such that the elbow's center of rotation orbits around the primary axis in a plane perpendicular thereto. The elbow moves through the stationary frame at an average rate equal to one weld bead width per rotation, thus resulting in the deposition of a continuous helical weld bead cladding the interior surfaces of the elbow

Title: Broadcast apparatus for closed space
Inventor: MITSUHASHI MASARU
IPC: H04W52/04
Filed: 2006-09-12
Granted: 2015-12-29
Abstract: When a tunnel has no problem therein, a reception wave of a broadcast is retransmitted into the tunnel. At this moment, terminal registers prevent a retransmission signal from leaking from the tunnel and do not influence an adverse effect to a broadcast wave outside the tunnel. When an accident occurs in the tunnel, sensors sense this fact, and a monitoring center issues an emergency operation instruction to broadcast equipment for an emergency. At this moment, the broadcast equipment stops the retransmission of the reception wave to broadcast emergency alarm information into the tunnel and also controls transmitting antennas to emit broadcast signals to broadcast the alarm information also nearby tunnel mouths.
