Abstract: An actuation device (1) capable of adapting a conventional pump dispenser
(100) into a lever or trigger sprayer comprises a housing (10) having a first part (20)
that is removably connected to a second part (40) such that when the two parts are
connected, a pump dispenser (100) can be received within the housing. The first part
(20) of the housing has an opening (90) adjacent the nozzle (240) of the pump
dispenser that allows the contents of the pump dispenser to be sprayed out through the
opening. A lever (50) is hingedly mounted to the housing via a plurality of trunnions
(140) and associated trunnion cradles and has a leg portion that makes holding and
squeezing the lever easy and comfortable. The lever also has at least one arm (130)
disposed adjacent an annular rim (250) of the skirt of the pump dispenser so that when
the lever is moved, the arm of the lever presses against the annular rim (250) and
causes the pump dispenser to actuate and spray fluid from the pump dispenser to the
target.

method for managing travel arrangements. The computer-system comprises
storage means (112) for storing travel arrangement data associated with travel
arrangements (for example, Travel plans and Travel Expense Reports), processing
means (111) for processing the travel arrangement data to carry out predetermined

Inventor: YOUNGNER DANIEL W
IPC: G01L1/18
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: A very high temperature sensor of a resonant integrated microstructure
having an electrostatic beam driver and an optical fiber pick-up for sensed
light from the beam. The high temperature sensor has no components that
are vulnerable to temperature up to 600 degrees C. Associated components
for detection, processing and driving are remote from the sensor
environment. By using different materials in the beam assembly, such as
tungsten for the beam, and sapphire for the substrate and the shell, the
sensor can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees C. Also, optical fiber
may be used for long distance connections between processing electronics
and the driver in the sensing device, by locating a photo detector just
outside, the very high temperature sensing environment and than using
optical fiber for sending long distance signals from the processor to the
driver photo detector, for eliminating electrical signal-to-noise problems.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of operating a thermal actuator (15)
for a micromechanical device, especially a liquid drop emitter such as an ink jet
printhead, is disclosed. The disclosed thermal actuator comprises a base element
(10) and a cantilevered element (20) including a thermo-mechanical bender
portion (25) extending from the base element to a free end tip. The thermo-mechanical
bender portion includes a barrier layer (23) constructed of a dielectric
material having low thermal conductivity, a first deflector layer (22) constructed
of a first electrically resistive material having a large coefficient of thermal
expansion, and a second deflector layer (24) constructed of a second electrically
resistive material having a large coefficient of thermal expansion wherein the
barrier layer is bonded between the first and second deflector layers. The thermo-mechanical
bender portion further has a base end (28) adjacent the base element
and a free end (29) adjacent the free end tip. A first heater resistor (26) is formed
in the first deflector layer and adapted to apply heat energy having a first spatial
thermal pattern which results in a first deflector layer (22) base end temperature
increase, ΔT 1b , that is greater than a first deflector layer free end temperature
increase, ΔT 1f . A second heater resistor (27) is formed in the second deflector
layer and adapted to apply heat energy having a second spatial thermal pattern
which results in a second deflector layer (24) base end temperature increase, ΔT 2b 
that is greater than a second deflector layer free end temperature increase, ΔT 2f .
Application of an electrical pulse to either the first or second heater resistors
causes deflection of the cantilevered element, followed by restoration of the
cantilevered element to an initial position as heat diffuses through the barrier layer
and the cantilevered element reaches a uniform temperature. For liquid drop
emitter embodiments, the thermal actuator resides in a liquid-filled chamber that
includes a nozzle for ejecting liquid. Application of electrical pulses to the heater
resistors is used to adjust the characteristics of liquid drop emission. The barrier
layer exhibits a heat transfer time constant τ B . The thermal actuator is activated by
a heat pulses of duration τ P  wherein τ P  < ½ τ B .

Abstract: The present invention includes an integrated circuit that can use a high-frequency
timing reference generator from a high-speed serial interface to provide the clocking
and timing requirements for the integrated circuit. The timing mechanism in the
present invention obviates the need for phase locked loop (PLL) macrocells to provide
timing reference and timing signals in the IC. The ICs of the present invention are
preferably used as disk drive integrated circuits that include DSP, memory, data path
controllers, data interfaces, custom macrocells, and DSP peripherals. The high-speed
serial interface is preferably a Serial ATA (SATA), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Fibre
Channel, or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), among others. The present invention also
includes a method of generating a timing reference signal in a IC that includes
generating a high-frequency signal with the high-speed timing reference generator of a
high-speed serial interface, then using a initial divider to generate a mid-frequency
timing reference signal from the high-frequency timing reference signal, and then
using a final divider to generate a final timing reference signal from the mid-frequency
timing reference signal. In the present method, timing reference signals generated
from a phase locked loop (PLL) macrocell are not required.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une corrélation est dérivée entre une variable définie en tant qu'âge virtuel, caractéristique de la durée d'utilisation d'un liquide de frein et/ou du kilométrage, et la concentration en cuivre dudit liquide. L'âge virtuel sert à estimer le degré de dégradation du fluide.

Ladite bandelette (10) est immergée dans le fluide et tout changement de couleur résultant est comparé à un code de couleurs (20), et une référence représentant la concentration maximale est déterminée de façon empirique de manière à correspondre au seuil d'âge virtuel caractéristique du remplacement du fluide. Dans un mode de réalisation automatisé de l'invention, un instrument optique compare la couleur obtenue lors du test à une référence prédéterminée, et détermine s'il est nécessaire de changer le liquide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction stir welding technique which
avoids occurrence of a dent, in a joining region, extending to
a level beneath the joined surfaces. At end portions of the
frame members (50, 60) to be joined, at the joining region, thickened
parts which project toward the rotary body joining tool (70) are
provided. Two adjoining thickened parts, of adjacent members
to be joined, can form a trapezoid shape. The rotary body
joining tool has a small-diameter tip portion and a larger
diameter portion. The rotary body joining tool is inserted in
the thickened parts. In a state where the rotary body joining
tool has been inserted small-diameter tip end first, to a
level where the larger diameter portion of the rotary body
joining tool overlaps the thickened part but does not extend
below the upper surface of the non-thickened surfaces of the
members joined, the rotary body is rotated and moved along the
joining region. Even when a gap exists between two thickened
parts, a desirable joining can be carried out. After the
joining, the remaining parts of the thickened parts can be
machined so as to form a smooth surface.
