Abstract: An expansion valve (1) comprises a piping member (10) having
passages to which pipes for a refrigerant are connected, and
a cassette unit (100), which are formed as separate components.
The cassette unit (100) comprises a tube member (110) accommodating
a guide member (170), an orifice member (180) and a plate member
(166). A diaphragm (130) sandwiched between a rising portion (121)
of a lid (120) and an end (110') of the tube member (110) and defining
a gas charge chamber (122) is displaced, the movement of which
is transmitted to a shaft member (150). The shaft member (150) is
guided by a guide member (170) and drives a valve member (160) disposed
within a valve chamber (161). The cassette unit (100) is inserted
to the piping member (10) and fixed by a ring (50). Seal members
(62,64,66) are disposed to necessary areas.

Abstract: A system and method for validating an extensible markup language
(XML) document and reporting schema violations in real time. A parallel tree is
maintained that includes nodes corresponding to non-native XML elements of the
XML document. When changes occur to the XML document, the non-native XML
elements corresponding to the changes are marked. The nodes corresponding the
marked non-native XML elements are validated against an XML schema that
corresponds to the non-native XML markup. The elements and nodes corresponding
to errors in the non-native XML markup are then reported to the user according to
display indicators in the XML document and the parallel tree.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention produces a
first fuel-air mixture containing a first fuel and the air
at a specific ratio, which does not allow for auto ignition
of the first fuel-air mixture by simple compression, in
a combustion chamber. The technique then injects a second
fuel, which has a higher octane value than that of the first
fuel, into a partial area of the combustion chamber, so
as to produce a second fuel-air mixture. The technique
ignites the second fuel-air mixture for combustion, so as
to compress and auto-ignite the first fuel-air mixture.
The second fuel has the higher octane value, so that a
combustion start timing of the second fuel-air mixture is
reliably regulated by ignition. Namely the technique
positively controls the timing of auto ignition of the
first fuel-air mixture. Setting an adequate value to the
ignition timing thus effectively prevents the occurrence
of knocking in an internal combustion engine that adopts
a premix compression ignition combustion system.

Abstract: A push button, designed such that it is not damaged or broken even when an
excessive external force is applied. The push button includes a control panel (10)
having a seat depression (11) and a switch (13) controlling a function. A button
unit (21) is seated in the seat depression (11) so as to be movable by a
predetermined distance. A push unit (22) passes through the seat depression (11)
and moves by a force transmitted from the button unit (21) to push the switch (13).
The push button also has first and second springs (23, 24) having different spring
constants. When a normal external force is applied, the second spring (24) having a
smaller spring constant, is elastically compressed to turn the switch (13) on or off.
When an excessive external force is applied, the first and second springs (23, 24) are
elastically compressed to absorb the external force, thus preventing components,
such as the switch (13), from being damaged or broken.

Abstract: The retraction of an injection screw is controlled on
the basis of the pressure deviation between a set resin
pressure and the detected resin pressure (T1-T4).
Furthermore, the screw is caused to rotate at a set speed.
Moreover, when the deviation between a metering completion
position and the current screw retraction position drops to
a value that is equal to or less than a set value, control
of the retraction of the screw based on the pressure
deviation is stopped (T5, T6), and the control is switched
to positioning control based on the positional deviation
(T7). Furthermore, a screw rotational speed command in
which the pressure deviation component between the set
resin pressure and the current resin pressure is corrected
from the screw rotational speed component that is
decelerated in proportion to the positional deviation is
determined and output (T8-T13).

Abstract: A system and methods are described for high speed searching of digital video data (20) to find regions that have motion, for example in a scene monitored by a security camera system. Conventional video motion detection is used to find zones (28, 29) and/or times in the video data where motion is detected, either in real time or post-processing. Relatively small data structures (30, 50) are created that store metadata or 'motion data', as distinguished from the underlying video data, in which regions of detected motion are indicated compactly, for example using one bit 32 per zone or one bit 52 per field, to enable fast searching to find motion by searching the motion data structure rather than the digital video record.

Abstract: A syringe plunger driver system capable of capturing syringes of widely varying sizes comprises a pair of asymmetric plunger retainer arms pivotally mounted to plunger driver. The system includes a low profile driver having a length that exceeds its width so that it may be mounted adjacent control modules and other operational modules. The arms are biased towards each other and one arm is longer than the other with a notch on an inside edge to receive the tip of the shorter arm when capturing small syringe flanges. A rotation knob mounted to the front surface of the low profile driver forces the arms apart when rotated to a first rotation position. A force sensor (94) is mounted in the driver to detect occlusions in the fluid line. A processor monitors the force sensed by the force sensor and provides an alarm if the force exceeds a threshold. The driver includes a force concentrator (84) that defines a pushing surface (71) adapted to press against a plunger flange so that the force applied to the plunger flange is concentrated at a defined location for more accurate measurement.
