Abstract: The present invention relates to an engine in which the
stroke of a piston at an expansion stroke is larger than that at
a compression stroke. In order to ensure that a top dead center
at each of intake and exhaust strokes and a top dead center at
the compression stroke are at the same level, the following
dimensions are determined according to an equation representing
a level of a piston pin, so that the top dead center at each of
the intake and exhaust strokes and the top dead center at the
compression stroke are congruous with each other: a length of a
second arm; a length of a first arm; a length of a control rod;
a length of a connecting rod; a length from an axis of a crankshaft
to axes of rotary shafts in a direction of a y-axis; a length from
the axis of the crankshaft to the axes of the rotary shafts in
a direction of an x-axis; an amount of offsetting of a cylinder
axis from the axis of the crankshaft in the direction of the y-axis:
an angle formed by the first and second arms; a length between
the axis of the crankshaft and the crankpin; a length of a straight
line connecting the axes of the rotary shafts; and an axis of a
movable eccentric shaft and an angle when a crank angle is "0".

Abstract: In order to quickly stop vibration of a vibrator of a vibrator
controlling circuit, according to the present invention,
an intermittent signal is generated by a spring vibration
control integrated circuit (12), a switching element (15) is
turned on/off based on the intermittent signal from the
spring vibration control integrated circuit (12), an intermittent
electric current is supplied to a spring vibrator
(16) by switching of the switching circuit (15) and the
spring vibrator (16) is vibrated. When vibration of the
spring vibrator (16) is stopped, a signal opposite to that
when the spring vibrator (16) is vibrated is applied from the
spring vibration control integrated circuit (12) to the
switching element (15) so as to cause the spring vibrator
(16) to generate a force to attenuate vibration and to stop
the vibrator from vibrating.

Abstract: A method and system for selecting master nodes to manage a target node group in a computer network having multiple nodes and overlapping node groups. The system includes determining a hamming distance for node pairs within the network. The node pair includes two node pair members and the hamming distance is the number of node groups the node pair members do not share in common. A participation index for nodes within the network is determined at a determining operation. The participation index is the number of node groups the node belongs to. An availability potential for node pairs is also determined. The availability potential is the sum of the participation indexes of the node pair members subtracted by the hamming distance of the node pair. An optimal combination of node pairs is found by searching for the maximum total availability potential for the network. A master node pair for the target node group is selected from the optimal combination of node pairs. If a master node pair does not exist for the target node group, a master node belonging to the target node group is selected for the target group.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un système ainsi qu'à un procédé permettant de positionner une pièce d'espacement dans le corps d'un patient. Le dispositif se présente sous un premier format de taille réduite à introduire dans le corps du patient de la manière la moins effractive qui soit. Une fois dans le corps du patient, ce dispositif est dilaté pour se présenter sous un second format de plus grande dimension. Dans un mode de réalisation, la dilatation est provoquée par l'introduction d'un biomatériau dans le dispositif. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la dilatation est rendue possible par le fait que le dispositif est fait d'un matériau susceptible de se dilater une fois introduit dans le corps du patient. Le procédé consiste à ménager, de la manière la moins effractive qui soit, une ouverture dans le corps du patient afin de mettre en place le dispositif au point d'application. Dans un mode de réalisation, on place un conduit dans le corps du patient pour mettre en place le dispositif. On peut également utiliser ce conduit pour introduire le biomatériau dans le dispositif.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de valvule cardiaque mécanique prothétique divisible, consistant en deux éléments structurels: A. un anneau stationnaire externe (1) consistant alternativement en deux éléments subséquents (1 i, 1 ii), et B. une partie mobile interne (2), connectés à l'aide d'un câble de connexion (3). La partie externe consiste en un anneau métallique annulaire à rainure femelle et une ouverture (1 i), et en un second panneau fabriqué à partir de tissu (1 ii). La partie interne (2) consiste en un anneau métallique et en des ailes semi-circulaires mobiles, pouvant être fixées après implantation de l'anneau externe (1).

Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: An element-specific imaging technique utilizes the element-specific fluorescence X-rays that are induced by primary ionizing radiation. The fluorescence X-rays from an element of interest are then preferentially imaged onto a detector using an optical train. The preferential imaging of the optical train is achieved using a chromatic lens in a suitably configured imaging system. A zone plate is an example of such a chromatic lens; its focal length is inversely proportional to the X-ray wavelength. Enhancement of preferential imaging of a given element in the test sample can be obtained if the zone plate lens itself is made of a compound containing substantially the same element. For example, when imaging copper using the Cu La spectral line, a copper zone plate lens is used. Furthermore, multiple imaging systems are used to increase throughput and to perform stereoscopic or tomographic imaging.
