Patent EP-1193171-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHIIE AKIHITO
IPC: B62M6/45
Filed: 2000-06-05
Abstract: A power-assisted bicycle is provided with a torque
detection mechanism system that is simple in structure,
saves space therefor, and is lightweight. A one-way clutch
(72) for transmitting only rotation of the drive shaft (4)
to the sprocket (70) in the direction in which the bicycle
proceeds is disposed inside a hollow cylindrical portion
(82) of the sprocket (70). On the sprocket face opposite
thereto, a bearing (74) is engaged in an outer periphery of
the cylindrical portion (82), and an elastic disc spring
(76) holds the sprocket (70) with the aid of the bearing.
The disc spring (76) is fixed to the bicycle body and a
strain gauge (80) for detecting a stress deformation of the
disc spring (76) is mounted on the surface thereof. As the
drive shaft (4) is rotated by the aid of the pedaling
torque, the one-way clutch (72) exerts an axially pressing
force onto the sprocket (70) to deform the disc spring (76)
and the strain gauge (80) detects the stress deformation of
the disc spring (76), that is, a physical amount associated
with the pedaling torque.

IPC: G01R33/28

Abstract: In medical MRI apparatus it is often desirable to maintain a connection with the patient (58) to be examined, for example in order to observe the patient by means of a television camera (62) or to monitor physical functions like the heart rate or blood pressure. It is often necessary to use electrically powered connection equipment (62, 64) which is located in or very close to the imaging area (29), the supply lines (66, 68) also being located in the imaging area so that the (precisely defined) fields required for imaging would be disturbed thereby. According to the invention the supply lines are subdivided into segments (72-i), each of which has a length shorter than 1/4 of the wavelength of the RF field; these segments are separated from one another by inductances (74-i). Consequently, the supply line does not present itself as an energy absorbing conductor to the RF field, so that the RF field is not disturbed thereby. Distortion of the uniform B field is avoided by twisting the conductors (78, 80) of the line and by winding the inductances in a bifilar winding mode.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tightening device having a function of
imparting an energizing force in the tightening direction to a tightening member
such as a bolt, nut and screw to be screwed to a tightening object to be retained for
a long time continuously from the beginning of tightening. 
     The present invention has an object to provide the tightening device
having the switching member capable of stably constraining the energizing force of
the energizing member, which is imparted to the tightening member and being
separated from the periphery of the energizing member when activating the
energizing member to impart the energizing force to the tightening member. 
     To attain the object described above according to the invention, there is
provided a tightening device comprising an energizing member for energizing a
tightening member to be secured to a tightening object in a tightening direction,
which energizing member integrally has at its one end portion an engaging part to
be engaged with the tightening member, and a switching member connected to the
tightening member for switching over to the constraining or operating state of the
energizing force imparted to the tightening member by the energizing member,
which tightening device is characterized in that the switching member holds tight
the engaging part formed on the one end portion of the energizing member and the
other end portion thereof to constrain the energizing force and is separated from
the engaging part and the other end portion of the energizing member to activate
the energizing force. 
     According to this solution means, the switching member is held tight from
both sides to stably constrain the energizing force. Furthermore, the switching
member is separated from the energizing member when activating the energizing
member to impart the energizing force to the tightening member, so that the
switching member can be separated from the periphery of the energizing member.
