Abstract: A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device (10A) comprises a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections (16a,16b), a movable section (20), and a fixation section (22) for supporting the thin plate sections (16a,16b) and the movable section (20); piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements (24a,24b) arranged on at least one thin plate sections (16a,16b) of the pair of thin plate sections (16a,16b); and a hole (12) formed by both inner walls of the pair of thin plate sections (16a,16b), an inner wall (20a) of the movable section (20), and an inner wall (22a) of the fixation section (22), wherein the pair of thin plate sections (16a,16b) are made of metal. Preferably the piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements (24a,24b) are multilayer stacks comprising the active material (26) and electrode layers (28,30). Accordingly, it is possible to realize a long life time of the device, increase the displacement of the movable section, and realize a high speed (realize a high resonance frequency). Further, it is possible to improve the handling performance of the device and the performance for attaching a part to the movable section or the performance for fixing the device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a feed pump designed as a side-channel pump, a blade chamber of an impeller has a contour which is formed by a radius and in which, as seen from the contour, the origin of the radius is located behind a center line of the blade chamber. A circulation flow thereby passes into the blade chamber with particularly low turbulences. The feed pump has particularly high efficiency as a result.

Abstract: A system for collecting, storing and displaying dermatological images for the purpose of monitoring and diagnosis of skin conditions and skin cancers, including melanoma. A hand-held unit illuminates a section of the patient's skin, and an imaging device generates imaging signals from light derived from a skin section. Pairs of light output ports in the hand-held unit are arranged such that their intensity distributions overlap at their half-intensity levels so that the resulting summation of their intensities has a flat central region. Three image stores are maintained, one for lesion images, one for "nearby skin" images, and one for reference-white images. The "nearby skin" images are used by the system software to automatically determine the skin/lesion border. The reference white images are used to set the dynamic range of the instrument and to compensate for lighting irregularities. Two images of the same lesion taken at different times may be displayed simultaneously so that changes in the lesion may be determined. The calibration system is designed so that image data taken on any of multiple machines built to the same specification will be corrected back to a common reference standard to ensure absolute accuracy in colour rendition.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and apparatus for monitoring drug compliance by detecting markers, such as odors, upon exhalation by a patient after medication is taken, wherein such markers result either directly from the medication itself or from an additive combined with the medication. In the case of olfactory markers, the invention preferably utilizes electronic sensor technology, such as the commercial devices referred to as “artificial noses” or “electronic noses,” to non-invasively monitor compliance. The invention further includes a reporting system capable of tracking compliance (remote or proximate) and providing the necessary alerts.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering data packets from a network node to a mobile node, wherein a unidirectional interface to the mobile node is detected and a binding update indicating a care-of-address being an address of said detected unidirectional interface is transmitted to the network node. In response to this binding update request, data packets are delivered via the unidirectional interface. Thus, the performance of communication can be increased considerably by using a high bandwidth unidirectional broadcast network to deliver downlink data.

Among the 139 sync blocks, 121 sync blocks each consist of a two-byte detection pattern for detecting the sync block, three-byte identification information for identifying the sync block, 96-byte main data, and 10-byte inner error correcting code added to the identification information and the main data. In the remaining 18 sync blocks, instead of the main data, 96-byte outer error correcting code is included. The outer error correcting code is provided for each group of the 139 sync blocks. Such a group of 139 sync blocks is obtained by dividing 2224 sync blocks contained in sixteen tracks by sixteen planes, 1668 sync blocks contained in twelve tracks by twelve planes, or 1112 sync blocks contained in eight tracks by eight planes. The sync blocks are arranged on the magnetic tape so that the distance between the sync blocks belonging to the identical plane is constant among the planes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a micro reactor arrangement, particularly for a micro relay. It comprises a substrate (1) with two thermomechanical micro actuators (3, 4). In response to thermal stimulation, the first micro actuator (3) performs a movement in parallel with the substrate surface (2), while the second micro actuator moves in a direction orthogonal on the substrate surface (2). Both thermomechanical micro actuators are so disposed relative to each other that the first micro actuator (3), in the extended state, reaches under the second micro actuator (4). With these provisions, the first micro actuator (3) can be maintained in this position without supply of power when the second micro actuator (4) is de-energized. With the present micro actuator arrangement, one can achieve the advantages of a high activation force and long positioning travels of thermomechanical micro actuators for micro relays, without the necessity to supply energy for maintaining the individual switching states.

Abstract: A method of molding a high density composite article which, when completed, has opposed outer skins of fiber-reinforced plastics material and polymer mortar core between the skins. The method is performed by (a) providing an openable mold defining a mold cavity and an injection port through which polymer mortar may be introduced into the cavity; (b) opening the mold and placing within the cavity respective layers of fiber reinforcement to form the opposed outer skins; (c) closing the mold and injecting polymer mortar consisting of a resinous material loaded with high density particulate aggregate through the injection port into the cavity, between the layers of fiber reinforcement placed therein; and (d) applying sufficient pressure to the injected polymer mortar to ensure resin is separated from the polymer mortar and penetrates the said layers. The mesh size of the layers of fibrous reinforcing material is on average less than the average size of the high density particulate aggregate whereby the reinforcing material filters aggregate from the resin penetrating said layers, so that the aggregate stays within the polymer mortar core and high fiber/resin ratios are achieved in the skins.
