Abstract: A breakaway support post (130) is provided for a highway guardrail system (120) to enhance the safety of a vehicle impacting with either the rail face of the associated guardrail or one end of the guardrail facing oncoming traffic. For some applications, the breakaway support post (130) may be formed from a steel I-beam with one or more elongated slots formed intermediate the ends of the steel I-beam. The slots are preferably formed in the flanges of the I-beam which are in turn aligned generally parallel with the associated guardrail. For other applications, a breakaway support post may have an upper (142) and a lower (144) portion with a rotatable coupling (140) assembly disposed therebetween. A shear pin (156) or other releasing mechanism is preferably provided to maintain the upper and lower portions generally aligned with each other prior to the impact of a vehicle with one end of the associated guardrail.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diode, and has an object to simultaneously
implement a high di / dt capability, a low reverse recovery loss and a low forward voltage
and to suppress generation of voltage oscillation. In order to achieve the above-mentioned
object, life time killers are selectively introduced into a semiconductor
substrate (20) comprising a P layer (1), an N -  layer (21) and an N +  layer (3). A
density of the introduced life time killers is the highest in a first region (6) adjacent to the
P layer (1), and is the second highest in a second region (7) in the N -  layer (21). The
life time killers are not introduced into a third region (2). Accordingly, a life time in the
N -  layer (21) is expressed by the first region (6) < the second region (7) < the third
region (2). The second region (7) and the third region (2) are adjacent to the P layer (1).
In addition, the second region (7) annularly surrounds the third region (2).

Abstract: The invention concerns electrochrome mirrors comprising, as central component, an optically active cell consisting of two glass plates (1, 2) arranged as a laminate, each provided, on the inside, with a plane electrode, an electrochromic substance (5) being placed between the two plane electrodes. The two glass plates (1, 2) are sealingly connected to each other, by means of an adhesive bead (6) enclosing the perimeter of said glass plates (1, 2) at their peripheral edge, while leaving free a narrow edge strip. In order to ensure that a connection wire (8a, 8b) is more securely fixed without modifying the dimensions of the mirror, each edge strip of the plane electrodes is divided in two by a separating trench (9a, 9b), thereby forming an edge strip section (11a, 11b) such that the edge strip section isolated from one of the plane electrodes is opposite to the edge strip section not isolated from the other plane electrode. In each space included between said edge strip sections, is incorporated a connection wire (8a, 8b), using an electroconductive material.

Abstract: For a freestyle snowboard boot directed to so-called step-in bindings, a stance
support system is disclosed, composed principally of a stance support shank 4; a
bearing mount 2 structured to be attachable to a snowboard boot heel counter,
supporting a bearing 1 having a bearing surface that is at least partially pivotal;
and a shank retainer fitting 3 structured to be attachable to the leg portion of the
snowboard boot. One end of the shank 4 is formed as a rocker 5 for riding on the
pivotal surface of the bearing 1, wherein it is rockable from an upright orientation
through an instep-ward cant, and is rigidly restrained uprightly from rocking
outward beyond the cant. The other end of the shank 4 is a lever end 6 engagable
into the retainer fitting 3. The stance support system is switchable between
ride and walk modes, either by configuring the engagement of the lever
end 6 of the shank 4 into the retainer fitting 3 such that the entire shank 4 can
be withdrawn from the system, or such that the lever end 6 is toggle spring-hinged
in the retainer fitting 3, wherein the shank 4 can be swung between a
bearing-riding position and a diametrically opposite walk-mode position. The
stance support system is furthermore configured to have a lean adjustment.

Abstract: A Ge-added SiO 2  thin film (12) is formed on a glass substrate
(10), and metal film (14) is formed thereon (S11 to S13). By
etching the metal film (14), a pair of electrodes (14a, 14b)
mutually opposed at a predetermined interval is formed (S14). An
insulating thin film (16) is formed on the insulating film (12)
and the electrodes (14a, 14b) (S15). While applying ultraviolet
radiation, a high voltage is applied between the electrodes (14a,
14b) to perform ultraviolet excitement polling to impart an
optical nonlinearity to a channel region (18)(S16). By
controlling the voltage application to the channel region (18)
having the optical nonlinearity, the light transmitted through
the channel region (18) is controlled. Thus, an optical nonlinear
waveguide for propagating single mode light is formed on a glass
substrate.

On choisit typiquement une zone de recherche en fonction de la proximité de la région de recherche par rapport au point de référence. On trouve alors les zones de couverture qui recoupent la région de recherche. On classe typiquement ces zones de couverture sécantes selon un ordre ordonné. On peut établir l'ordre ordonné en fonction de la quantité de zones sécantes pour chaque zone d'intersection sécante ou en fonction de la proximité de la zone de couverture sécante par rapport au point de référence.
