Abstract: A boot incorporating techniques for making the process of tightening and loosening the laces of a boot more convenient for the wearer is disclosed. The boot may be provided with at least two independent lacing zones, the tensions of which are separately adjustable by the wearer. The zones may be secured by pulling on two laces, each of which tightens one of the two independent lacing zones. This arrangement allows the wearer to simultaneously tighten each zone, providing the wearer with the "feel" as though he or she is tightening a conventional single lacing zone boot. The laces may be simultaneously, yet independently secured by a lace lock at the upper and/or forward region of the boot. Slack may be created to facilitate loosening of the boot and easy removal of a foot from the boot by unhooking the lace from the lace guide without a corresponding distance of lace traveling through the lace lock. A release strap, graspable by the wearer, facilitates unhooking the lace.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for reliably blocking a vehicle (2) at a loading dock (3) includes a telescopic arm (4) that at one end (4A) is supported so as to be stationary but is pivotal about two axes (P1, P2) and that at the opposite end (4B) is provided with an engagement element (5) for effecting a blocking connection between the vehicle and the area of a loading dock. At the same time as the stationary end maybe provided at a safe position where it is practically completely out of the way when it comes to e.g. snow clearance and risk of being run into, the capability of pivotal movement and the telescopic design of the arm makes it possible to easily maneuver the engagement element into a blocking or restraining engagement from the outside of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation system for navigating a catheter ( 3 ) in a vascular system ( 10 ), in which the current spatial position of the catheter ( 3 ) is continually measured by a locating device ( 2 ). The temporal sequence of the position signals obtained in this way is subjected to a filtering operation in order to compensate for cyclic intrinsic movements of the vascular system which are caused for example by the heartbeat. The filtering may comprise the suppression of amplitude maxima in the frequency spectrum at the heartbeat frequency. Furthermore, the filtering may comprise the calculation of a center of the trajectory in time windows of the length of the heartbeat.

Abstract: Vehicle on-board measurement of axle load and gross combined vehicle weight is improved for an air bladder suspended vehicle by allowing for suspension hysteresis. Suspension hysteresis results in at least two distinct air pressures being possible in an air bladder for a single load. The system also reduces the disruptive effect of vehicle acceleration and deceleration on load determination. Vehicle drive train management is enhanced using the load information to effect transmission gear selection.

Abstract: The invention provides a water-cooled mold for continuous casting. The mold comprises two water-cooled wide copper plates which are arranged opposite to each other in front and back direction and two water-cooled narrow copper plates which are arranged opposite to each other in left and right direction. The upper portion of the cavity of the mold is a sprue area and the lower portion of the cavity is a mold cavity area. The sprue area is gradually narrowed in the casting direction and smoothly transited into the mold cavity, corresponding to the shape of a slab to be cast. The inside surfaces of the water-cooled narrow copper plates are smooth planar surface. A portion of the inside surface of the water-cooled wide copper plates in the sprue area is a curved surface and a portion of the same in the mold cavity area is a planar surface. The curved surface portion and the planar surface portion form a continuous smooth surface. Using the mold of the invention, it can be ensured to eliminate surface defects of a slab, to attain a good slab surface quality, to minimize uneven wear of a mold and to extend mold lifecycle.

Abstract: A container that dispenses a carbonated drink such as beer has a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of the dispensed fluid with a pressurized carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is released to maintain the desired pressure by a pressure regulator that opens a valve when the pressure is too low in the dispensed fluid and closes a valve when the pressure is high enough in the dispensed fluid. The pressure regulator is easily adjusted without the use of a tool during operation by simply rotating the pressure regulator's cap on its threads.

Abstract: A device for folding a balloon of a balloon catheter onto a catheter tube during a balloon deflation includes a first band positioned on the catheter tube distal to the balloon and a second band positioned on the catheter tube proximal to the balloon. One or more elastic member(s) are attached to and extend between the bands for interaction with the outer surface of the balloon. During a balloon deflation, the elastic members cooperate to fold the balloon into pleats. When used on a cutting balloon, each elastic member is formed with a slot to allow a respective blade of the cutting balloon to extend through the elastic member. The elastic members fold the cutting balloon into a configuration in which each blade becomes nestled within a pair of adjacent balloon pleats to prevent the blade from inadvertently incising tissue during an in-vivo movement of the balloon catheter.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for welding electric conductors using ultrasound, whereby the conductors (32) are introduced into a compression chamber (30) that is bounded by at least two boundary elements and are welded after the compression chamber is closed, whereby ultrasound is applied via a sonotrode (16) and the conductors to be welded are pressurized, preferably via a counter electrode. In order to be able to check the quality of the welding site using simple measures, it is proposed that after welding (32) the conductors, the compression chamber (30) is decompressed and then an ultrasound pulse is applied to the welded conductors with simultaneous application of pressure to these, and subsequently the spacing difference between the sonotrode (16) and the counter electrode (18) is measured.
