Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A steering apparatus has a manipulator, a steered wheel being steered in a steered range, which is between two predetermined end positions. A first detector detects operation of the manipulator and outputs a signal representing the detection result. A second detector detects at least one of two states of the steered wheel and outputs a signal representing the detection result. In one of the states, the steered wheel is at either of the end positions. In the other state, the steered wheel is deviated from either of the end positions. A controller controls a driving device. The controller causes the driving device to steer the steered wheel in accordance with the signal from the first detector. When the steered wheel reaches either one of the end positions, the controller causes the driving device to stop steering motion of the steered wheel based on the signal from the second detector and to hold the steered wheel at the end position.

Abstract: An improved dropper cap, for use in controlled dispensing of liquid from a container, comprises an antechamber, a baffle and an elongated nozzle. The nozzle may comprise a flared spout to ensure clean separation of the liquid from the dropper cap, reducing dripping and smearing of the liquid on the dropper cap, as well as precise dispensing of the liquid. The baffle physically prevents splashing of the liquid from the container, and includes openings to control the flow of liquid into the nozzle. The baffle and antechamber cooperate to draw back undispensed liquid from the nozzle and prevent spurting of the liquid from the container between uses. Further, the dropper cap is threaded to allow easy attachment and removal from the container.
