Abstract: A telescopic fork arrangement comprises at least two telescopic legs, each having telescopically arranged tubes (7, 8, 13) and, arranged in these, piston and piston-rod arrangements (10, 12) operating in a working medium. The first telescopic leg (e.g. 5) performs a damping function essentially only during its compression movement, and a second telescopic leg (6) performs a damping function essentially only during its return movement. The telescopic legs are connected to a respective pressure chamber unit (25) which, in a closed system for the working medium, formed with the respective leg in question, keeps this working medium pressurized. A piston (12) in the piston/piston-rod arrangement is provided with or cooperates with one or more members (29, 30, 36, 37) which perform or determine respective damping functions, and of which one or more are adjustable from the outside.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: The blockable bone plate consists of a plurality of plate members which are connected to each other via webs. A screw hole is provided in at least some plate members, preferably in each plate member. The screw hole is surrounded by a spherical countersink on the upper surface of the plate. Provided internally in the screw hole there is an engagement contour which consists of contour valleys and contour peaks partially running in a horizontal and radial peripheral direction on the wall of the screw hole. The engagement contour is preferably produced by milling and has for example a pointed, round, trapezoidal or serrated configuration. A blocking thread is provided under the screw head of the screw intended for blocking. As the screw is screwed in, the blocking thread engages in the engagement contour. The particular advantages lie in increased security against the screw coming loose and in the possibility of also inserting the screw through the plate at an inclination. Furthermore, a bone plate is proposed which has the shape of an arc of a circle in the longitudinal axis of the plate and which requires less bending, particularly on the human lower jaw, and adapts to the bone in a more ideal manner.

Abstract: Battery driven voltage control circuitry charges an output capacitor, which periodically supplies a current pulse. The circuitry converts battery voltage VBAT to a charging voltage VUPC based upon programmed parameters and the voltage VCOMPL at the capacitor. The circuitry includes a voltage converter for multiplying VBAT to produce VUPC. VCOMPL is sampled to determine its "droop" at the end of an output current pulse. If the droop is lower than a threshold, then the voltage converter increases the charging voltage. If the droop is above a threshold, then the voltage converter reduces the charging voltage. This feedback maintains the output voltage within an acceptable operating range to produce an efficacious output current pulse for stimulation without causing unproductive energy loss. In order to avoid premature depletion of battery energy, VUPC is compared with VCOMPL to determine the optimum clock rate to be used to convert VBAT to VUPC.

Abstract: A computing-device implemented method for compressing a data model, where such devices include a computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), home appliance, and the like. The data includes bandwidth intensive information such as that used in video conferencing, MPEG and equivalent types of digital video encoding, multi-media data transfers, and interactive gaming. In one implementation, a 3D model has objects defined therein. Each object is defined by plural data points that are transferred from a data provider to a recipient. Typically the provider and recipient are in communication over a network. For a first and a second data point defined in the model, first offsets are determined from the first data point for the second data point. The second data point can then be re-coded in terms of the determined first offsets. The first offsets are coded to require less data storage than required for the first data point, thus allowing them to be transferred more quickly. Second offsets can be cascaded off the first offsets for a third data point defined within the model.
