Abstract: A collision preventive member 9 that limits displacements of an objective lens 1 in a focusing direction F is provided. The collision preventive member 9 includes a first limiting portion 9f that limits displacements of the objective lens 1 present within a first region A1 while allowing a movable range of the objective lens 1 in the focusing direction F to overlap a deflection range of the optical disc within the first region A1, and a second limiting portion 9g that limits displacements of the objective lens 1 present within a second region A2 in establishing a relation such that the movable range of the objective lens 1 in the focusing direction F does not overlap the deflection range of the optical disc within the second region A2. A controller that controls the objective lens 1 in such a manner that the objective lens 1 is located within the second region A2 in a non-focusing state of the objective lens 1 is provided. It is thus possible to prevent a collision between an optical disc and the objective lens under the environment where vibrations are applied.

Abstract: An aircraft brake assembly, wherein the actuator portion (14) of the brake assembly is no longer provided as part of the brake assembly but instead as part of the aircraft landing gear (20). Accordingly, the actuator portion (14) or individual actuator assemblies (30) are designated as Line Replacement Units (LRUs), which are replaceable independently of other brake components, e.g., the torque tube (12) and heat sink (16), which then comprise the brake assembly designated as a separate LRU. This new arrangement is particularly suited to electro-mechanically actuated brakes, where actuator maintenance intervals will typically be more closely related to landing gear maintenance intervals than to brake maintenance (i.e., hydraulic actuator and/or heat sink maintenance). The invention also provides for more effective and desirable mounting of one or more electro-mechanical actuators wherein reactionary loads are transferred in compression as opposed to in tension through mounting bolts or other removable fasteners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a building made from solid wood, comprising outer walls and/or inner walls and/or supporting ceilings or floors made from flush-fitted beams (7) of 150 x 150mm cross-section laid longitudinally against each other. For walls, the beams (7) run vertically. The figure shows the corner of a building in cross-section, viewed from above. The two opposing longitudinal edges of each beam (7), each comprise two parallel longitudinal grooves (3). An exact-fit slat (11) is introduced into the above, whereby the slat (11) fills the opposing longitudinal grooves (3) of adjacent beams (7) in the function of a tongue. As a result of the shrinkage of the beams (7), which have a higher moisture content than the slats (11) on construction, the slats (11) are tightly clamped to give a sealed tongue and groove connection. Several rows (4,5) of beams (7) can be placed adjacently per wall, with optional insulation material (8) between said rows or with external insulation. OSB sheets are suitable as insulation material.
