Abstract: The present invention relates to railway rail handling apparatus (10) and a method of handling railway rails using such apparatus. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) is configured for track side operation and comprises ground engaging wheel means (28) and rail moving means (12). The rail moving means (12) is configured to engage a railway rail (80) along part of its length and for its progressive movement longitudinally along the rail as the railway rail handling apparatus (10) moves on the ground engaging wheel means (28). As the rail moving means (12) moves in this fashion the rail moving means is configured to progressively bend the rail (80) laterally of an unbent part of the rail, thereby moving the rail from a first position to a second position. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) defines a footprint over the ground and the rail moving means is, in use, operative within the footprint.

Abstract: A system and method for repairing fractured long bones. A guide wire is inserted through an opening drilled in a proximal bone segment and pushed through the intramedullary cavity of the proximal bone segment, across the fracture site and into the intramedullary cavity of a distal bone segment. A  dilator is inserted over the guide wire and pushed through the intramedullary cavity into the distal bone segment to a stop at the distal end of the guide wire. A flexible tube having a radially expandable distal portion is then pushed over the guide wire into the distal bone segment and against the dilator. A compression nut is threaded over the proximal end of the guide wire to engage the proximal bone segment and compress the flexible tube.  Compression of the flexible tube deploys the radially expandable distal portion to anchor the device in the distal bone segment.

Title: Steerable catheter with hydraulic or pneumatic actuator
Inventor: FORSBERG ANDREW T
IPC: A61M25/092
Filed: 2005-07-20
Granted: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A hydraulically assisted actuator in a handle (e.g., 6) connects with a catheter having a deflectable distal ablation tip (e.g., 64). The hydraulic actuator translates small mechanical movement by a clinician into large travel movements of connected steering cables (e.g., 38, 40) and increased tension in the ablation tip for greater deflection. The hydraulic system further dampens the return of the ablation tip from a deflected position to an equilibrium position. The hydraulic actuation system is also incorporated into a set of foot pedals (e.g., 106, 108).

Granted: 2013-11-05
Abstract: Un appareil de grande capacité pour faire fondre la neige comprend une trémie dotée d'une ou plusieurs unités chauffantes/soufflantes spécialisées accouplées à plusieurs conduits radiants mélangés destinés à entrer en contact avec la neige, la glace et l'eau, et des collecteurs reliés aux conduits pour permettre un échange thermique supplémentaire et diriger l'air chauffé direct sur la neige se trouvant dans la trémie. Les parties terminales des conduits sont relevées jusqu'à une zone supérieure de la trémie et possèdent des orifices d'évacuation dirigés vers le bas destinés à permettre un préchauffage efficace et substantiel des nouvelles charges de neige. Des passages d'échange thermique formés dans les conduits d'air chauffés permettent à l'air de s'écouler dans le passage d'air chauffé se trouvant dans les conduits, de manière que l'efficacité de fusion de la glace et de la neige par les conduits soit sensiblement augmentée. Le niveau d'un bain d'eau se trouvant dans le fond de la trémie est contrôlé pour que l'eau recouvre les conduits et évacue l'eau de la trémie. L'appareil est autonome grâce à des commandes de génération d'énergie de secours et électriques et peut se monter sur un véhicule de transport, tel qu'une remorque ou un camion. Cet appareil peut être conçu pour générer suffisamment de BTU pour faire fondre au moins 5 tonnes de neige par heure.

Abstract: In a pin tumbler-type cylinder lock having an auxiliary tumbler stack, the bottom pin of the auxiliary tumbler stack has a recessed underside for receiving a projection on the key to form a detent. The invention provides an additional functionality that has not previously been associated with the auxiliary tumbler stack. When the projection on the key as seated, it prevents the key from being withdrawn from the keyway while the plug is in any rotational position in which the drive and bottom pins are not substantially aligned. Thus, the key is retained whenever the plug has been rotated.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a reinforcing tendon into a drill hole formed rock face including a body portion having a bore extending axially therethrough. The bore has a dimension selected to allow limited sliding movement of the tendon therethrough and includes a portion which tapers inwardly from a forward outfeed end towards a rearward or infeed end. A wedging member is movably provided in the bore. Movement of the wedging member towards the rearward end of the body results in its frictional engagement with the tendon to restrict its withdrawal from the body relative to the infeed end, whereas movement of the wedging member relative to the bore towards the outfeed end results in its disengagement from the tendon allowing it to be repositioned forwardly relative to the body. A drive is further provided to reciprocally move the body relative to the rock face.

Abstract: A location signalling device comprising a wing balloon for signalling a location. The wing balloon is fixed to a tether line that itself is fixed to the location to be signalled. The wing balloon has an inflatable aerodynamically shaped hollow body to be at least partly be filled with a lighter-than-air gas and having a wing attack surface for air flowing relative to said wing balloon. The floating aloft of said wing balloon is supported by said air flow. When the wing balloon is inflated, a flexible wing portion is passively variable. The stronger the wind, the less attack is given. Thus, the dragging force on the tether line is generally static.
