Abstract: The invention relates to a system for removing an elongate bone from a meat-comprising extremity or a part thereof of a slaughtered animal, which bone has a first joint end and a second joint end, the first joint end and the second joint end being situated on opposite ends of the bone, 
in which extremity the meat is partially detached from the bone and the bone partially projects from the meat, the first joint end being outside the meat, 
in which extremity a tissue connection between the meat and the second joint end is still present, 
which system comprises: 
- at least one bone removal component, which comprises: 
o at least one pair of rolls which are rotatable in opposite directions or at least one combination of a rotatable roll and a static guide that extends parallel to the roll, a gap being present between the rolls or the roll and the static guide, respectively, the gap having a width such that the bone cannot pass through the gap,  
at least one roll being provided with a profile for moving the bone and the meat away from each other in the region of the second joint end,  
a separating means for severing the tissue connection between the second joint end of the bone and the meat of the extremity after the bone and the meat are moved away from each other in the region of the second joint end.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a laryngoscope comprising a blade; a doployable mirror, and an operating mechanism, the operating mechanism being arranged to deploy the mirror. The mirror is pivotable with respect to the blade and the arrangement is such that an initial operation of the operating mechanism causes the mirror to be deployed while further operation of the operating mechanism causes the mirror to be pivoted with respect to the blade. In the preferred embodiment, the blade has a pivotable tip which is also operable by the operating mechanism. The deployment of the mirror, the pivoting of the mirror 30 and the pivoting of the tip 18 can all be performed by operation of a single operating mechanism, preferably in the form of a simple lever. The laryngoscope may therefore readily be operated using only one hand and without the need for any dextrous finger movements.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système récupérable permettant le déploiement rapide d'un leurre en quelques secondes en réponse à l'imminence d'une menace, ce qui évite le pré-déploiement, l'enroulement permettant la récupération et le déploiement du leurre un certain nombre de fois pendant une mission en réponse à des menaces, et réduit proportionnellement le coût du cycle de vie. Lors de la détection d'une menace imminente par un récepteur d'avertissement, un contrôleur couplé à une transmission libère un frein utilisé pour réguler la vitesse de déploiement alors que lors de la récupération, ladite transmission entraîne un moteur afin de récupérer le leurre. Ledit système peut être réutilisé, réagir rapidement et également réduire les considérations de plage du fait que le leurre est déployé uniquement en cas de besoin. Dans un mode de réalisation, le système comprend à la fois un câble de remorquage et un câble de signal optique, deux appareils de déroulement des câbles étant mécaniquement jumelés de sorte que lesdits câbles se déroulent à la même vitesse. Ce type déroulement abaisse la contrainte exercée sur le câble optique fragile, ce qui rend possible les déploiements et récupérations multiples en réponse à des menaces séparées pendant une mission. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un élément structurel unique à conducteurs incorporés est utilisé pour connecter le dispositif remorqué à l'ensemble obus.

Abstract: A connector uses a plurality of individual terminal assemblies to form a high-density connector. The terminal assemblies all have insulative body portions that support arrays of signal terminals and ground terminals or ground members. The terminals all have their own associated body portions which are supported by the insulative body portions and contact portions that extend out from a front, or mating face, of the assemblies. The terminal contact portions and include flexing portions formed therewith which are disposed between the terminal body and contact portions. The terminals further include insulative support members that are applied to the terminals and which serve to define the contact and flexing portions of the terminals. The support members are fixed within a carrier, such as a shroud member, which is not attached to any one portion of the connector. The support members permit the terminals and shroud to move as a single unit and flex in different directions, relative to the insulative body portions that support the terminals.

nozzle without becoming commingled. Portions of the nozzle sleeves are also
strategically arranged to transmit fluids in a manner that provides substantially-uniform
thermal expansion, thereby reducing the need for sliding joints or bellows
arrangements.
