Abstract: The process for manufacturing padded upholstery items includes a phase in which a plastic material (P), for example polyurethane, is expanded inside a moulding cavity delimited by two half-covers (1 and 2), each of which adheres to a relative half-die (3 and 4) by effect of a depression created between the half-die and the half-cover. The process, which is particularly useful in manufacturing a padded upholstered seat for vehicles, reduces the risk of defect formation in the product.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A piston machine with at least one axially movable piston in a cylinder is designed with a force conversion mechanism implying sinusoidal piston movement by rotation of the power input or power output shaft of the machine, depending on its application. As the pistons of the machine are fastened perpendicularly to a crosshead yoke (5) at their preferably light, cylindrical piston-rods (2,2'), in which two crosshead slides (14,14') each are provided on a crank pin journal (7,7'; 8,8') which is synchronized to perform rotation with mutual opposite directions of rotation (indicated as arrows). This arrangement causes the crosshead slides longitudinally in the yoke to move in exact mutual opposition and to reverse their direction of movement at the exact same time. Thus, the lateral pressure on pistons is completely eliminated and without any addition of any extra balancing mechanism there may be achieved a complete outbalancing of the reciprocating and rotating masses in the machine.

Abstract: The present invention features "molecular torches" and the use of molecular torches for detecting the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence. Molecular torches contain a target binding domain, a target closing domain, and a joining region. The target binding domain is biased towards the target sequence such that the target binding domain forms a more stable hybrid with the target sequence than with the target closing domain under the same hybridization conditions. The joining region facilitates the formation or maintenance of a closed torch.

Abstract: A controller having high-speed gear transiting means for changing the gear to the low gear through a specific high-speed gear, e.g., the second gear when the gear is changed from a non-drive range to a drive range. The gear change mode can be manually switched from an automatic mode in which the gear is changed according to a preset gear change characteristic to a manual mode in which the gear is changed manually by the driver, and vice versa. If the mode is switched to the manual mode while the gear is transitionally the specific high-speed gear brought about by the high-speed gear transiting means, the gear is preferentially changed to the low gear by the high-speed gear means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A graft forming apparatus and method including a plurality of mandrels for receiving tubular grafts thereon and an adjacent cutting instrument for forming regular and repeated patterns of small holes therein and for severing the ends of the graft. The cutting instrument is preferably a low-powered laser to form clean and non-frayed holes and lines in fabric grafts. The mandrel are mounted for rotation about an axis underneath the cutting instrument which is movable along the axis. By computer control, the motion of the cutting instrument and mandrel can be accurately and precisely choreographed. The mandrel may be a straight cylinder for forming straight grafts, or may be a bifurcated mandrel formed of several components. The bifurcated mandrel includes a trunk portion and pair of detachable leg portions. Adapter disks are provided so that the bifurcated mandrel can be rotated either about the axis of the trunk portion, or about the axis of one of the leg portions. The holes are formed to precise dimensions and locations so that support wires may be weaved through the holes and circumferentially around the tubular graft to form a non-leaking supported tubular prosthesis.

Abstract: In a component placement machine, a placement head (4) is driven by a linear motor (5). The stationary part (7) of the motor is attached to the machine frame (1) on which a PCB (8) is attached. The movable part (6) of the motor is connected to a slide (2) on which the placement head (4) is attached. During driving the placement head, reactive forces of the motor generate vibrations in the stationary part (7) of the motor and thus in the machine frame (20). This causes inaccuracies during the placement of components (9) on the PCB (8). To diminish this problem, the reactive forces are intercepted in a separate force frame (10) which is dynamically disconnected from the machine frame (1).
