Abstract: A sealing structure of a ball bearing is disclosed wherein a seal or a shield is provided on at least one side of the ball bearing, the ball bearing being used under rotation of an outer ring. A large number of blade projections are formed radially on an outer surface of the seal or shield provided on one side of the ball bearing. The sealing structure may also be constructed such that a seal or a shield is provided on at least one side of a ball bearing, the ball bearing being used under rotation of an inner ring, a large number of blade projections are formed radially on an outer surface of the seal or shield provided on one side of the ball bearing, and an annular plate is mounted on a shaft with the inner ring fitted thereon at a position relatively close to the blade projections. Plural through holes may be formed circumferentially on or near an inner peripheral edge of the annular plate. With a simple structure, it is possible to effectively prevent fluid from flowing or leaking through the ball bearing and also prevent leakage of grease sealed in the ball bearing itself. Thus, the ball bearing sealing structure is improved in sealing performance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A torsion module includes first and second rings (9, 9') and a spoked wheel (8). The first ring is attachable to a steering wheel (13). The spoked wheel is attached on top and bottom sides to the rings and has bending spokes which join a rim to a hub. The bending spokes bend in response to rotation angle offset between the hub and rim caused by torque on the steering wheel. A sensor, placed on a bending spoke, generates a signal indicative of bending experienced by the bending spoke in response to rotation angle offset between the hub and rim. The spoked wheel includes bending-resistant limit stop spokes each having a free end. The free ends engage the rim to limit rotation angle offset between the hub and rim. The rings have axially separated limit stops which enclose the free ends to prevent axial movement between the hub and rim.

Abstract: The present invention describes the preparation of unimolecular polymeric micelles (UPM) that bear a hydrophilic shell and a potentially ionizable and relatively hydrophobic core at a determined pH value. The core becomes electrostatically charged as the pH is changed. Such micelles can be made from either biodegradable or non-biodegradable polymers. Loaded drugs can be physically retained in the micelles when the pH of the surrounding medium favors interactions with the core. Upon a change in pH, modification in the ionization state of the core will decrease the interactions between the drug and the inner core and facilitate the release of the micellar contents.
