Abstract: A sealing assembly (1) for mechanical members in
relative rotation, for example two rings (2, 3) of a
rolling element bearing (4), comprising two rigid
screens (6, 7) each constituted by a cylindrical
portion (8, 11) fixed to a bearing ring, and a radial
flange (9, 12) provided with an annular sealing element
(10, 40); a first sealing element (10) is shaped in
such a way as to comprise a first sealing lip (21)
which cooperates slidingly with the cylindrical portion
(11) of the opposite screens (7) and a second sealing
lip (22) extending obliquely from the first lip (21)
and which slidingly cooperates with the flange (12) of

Abstract: An article support adapted for adhering to a substrate is described.
The article support preferably includes a base member (30), a stretch
release adhesive tape adhered to that base member, and some mechanism
(22) for gripping the stretch release adhesive tape. These items are
arranged so that when the base member is adhered to the substrate by the
stretch release adhesive tape, the base member can be removed by pulling
on the gripping means at an acute angle from the surface of the substrate.
Gripping means which resist disassociation from the stretch release
adhesive tape during the removal of the base from the substrate are
disclosed, including handle types. The base member can be generic,
suitable for attaching various types of support members (40) via, for
example, complimentary dovetail slides (42, 44). In such cases, provision
such as latch can be made to temporarily lock the support member to the
base member. The article support can be provided so that when the support

Abstract: Methods to identify compounds which have at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of a composition that (a) modulates the kinase activity of insulin receptor; and/or (b) potentiates the insulin activation of insulin receptor; and/or (c) potentiates the stimulation by insulin of cellular glucose uptake; and/or (d) stimulates the uptake of glucose in cells displaying the insulin receptor; and/or (e) lowers blood glucose in diabetic subjects; and/or (f) stimulates IRS-1 phosphorylation; and/or (g) stimulates PI3 kinase activity; and/or (h) stimulates GLUT-4 translocation; are described. Successful substances having such characteristics alter the conformation of the two-lobed cytoplasmic kinase domain or preferentially bind sites which have been identified as modulator binding sites in the insulin receptor  beta  chain. Also, modulation of the activity of the insulin receptor, enhancement of glucose uptake by cells, and other effects significant in the control and management of diabetes are accomplished using compounds of formula (1), wherein each Ar is independently an aromatic moiety; each A is independently a proton-accepting substituent; each R is independently a noninterfering substituent; m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 1-6; and each linker is independently -CH2-, -N=N-, -CH=CH-, -NHCO-, or -NHCONH- or an isostere thereof, wherein when n is 1, at least one Ar must comprise at least 2 fused aromatic rings. Compounds in the genus of formula (1) can also be used for structure activity studies to identify features responsible for the relevant activities.

Title: Cylinder head structure
Inventor: TAKEUCHI MAKOTO
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1999-02-22
Abstract: A cylinder head structure for an engine, including grooves (18;
12a) in a top surface (2; 2a) of a cylinder head body (1; 1a)
such that they surround an associated a fuel injection nozzle
hole (11; 8a). Valve tappet guide holes (6; 3a) are also formed
in the top surface (2; 2a) of the cylinder head body (1; 1a)
around each of the fuel injection nozzle holes (11; 8a). The
grooves (18; 12a) connect the adjacent tappet guide holes (6; 3a)
and surround the associated nozzle or spark plug hole. Cylinder
head bolt holes (15; 9a) are also formed around the tappet guide
holes (6; 3a). When cylinder head bolts are tightened to join
the cylinder head with a cylinder block, a radiant tension ( F ) is
generated from the cylinder head bolt heads which are in
contact with the cylinder head top surface. This radiant tension
would cause cracking around the injection nozzle hole (11; 8a).
The grooves (18; 12a) interrupt transmission of the radiant
tension to the vicinity of the injection nozzle hole to prevent
occurrence of cracking.

Abstract: The invention provides an on-board electrical power
generator for application on railway cars as a power supply for
Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brake equipment and
other on-board electronic devices, such as an end of train unit.
The generator unit can by operated by vehicle vibration when the
train is moving, or by fluid pressure from the brake line when
the train is stopped. The generator unit has a magnetic piston
surrounded by a coil and is engaged on either end by diaphragm-spring
combinations. This arrangement creates a mass-spring
system in which the magnetic piston vibrates under external
excitation. The oscillation of the magnetic piston as a result
of vehicle movement allows interaction between the magnetic
piston and a coil and thus generates electrical voltage across
the coil as a result of vibration. The diaphragms of the
diaphragm-spring combinations create two sealed chambers on the
first and second ends of the generator which allows the piston to
be actuated by fluid pressure. Fluid pressure from a control
valve alternately flows between the first chamber and the second
chamber causing the piston to oscillate and thus create an
electrical voltage across such coil and thereby generating
electrical power.

Abstract: A receiver for simultaneously displaying signals having different display
formats and/or different frame rates, and a method thereof are provided. The
receiver includes a signal generator, a first display processor, and a second display
processor. The signal generator generates a first vertical synchronous signal for a
high definition (HD) image, a first field identification signal for coping with a case in
which an HD image is an interlace image, a second vertical synchronous signal for a
standard image, and a second field identification signal for a standard image. The
first display processor processes a received HD decoded image to an HD display
format according to the first vertical synchronous signal and the first field
identification signal. The second display processor down-samples the HD decoded
image using the first and second vertical synchronous signals and the first and
second field identification signals, and provides a standard definition (SD) image
signal having a standard display format that is different from the HD display format.
Accordingly, the receiver can simultaneously reproduce a high definition signal and
a standard definition image signal corresponding to the picture quality of TVs which
have already been commonly used, the two signals having different display formats
and/or different frame rates.

Abstract: The method involves sampling a test speech signal at regular time points, deriving test signals from the sampled values, comparing with reference values to derive evaluation values for detecting words, whereby sequences of reference signals represent words and are derived from a a training speech signal. Speech models derived from the training results give the probabilities for sequences of words and are used to detect words. A new vocabulary is generated from the training speech signal which contains set elements of words and word groups which occur in the training speech signal with at least a defined a frequency. New speech models are derived for the vocabulary from the training speech signal and are used with the new vocabulary to detect words from the test speech signal.
