Abstract: The invention relates to a power accumulation structure of a simple
construction, in which a planetary mechanism is not used, for
a timepiece using a spring as power. The power accumulation
structure uses a threaded mechanism and
includes a ratchet wheel (1), a barrel complete (2),
an externally threaded wheel (13) supported on a plate (12) and a wheel
train receiving member (16) and disposed so as to be meshed with
the ratchet wheel (1), an internally threaded wheel (14) having an
internally threaded portion (14a) meshed with the externally threaded
portion (13a) of the externally threaded wheel (13), a gear portion (14b) and
a conical portion (14c) and disposed so as to be meshed with a gear
of the barrel complete, a power accumulation wheel (9) having a
cumulative power pointer (10) fixed thereto and an arm (9a) engaged with
the conical portion (14c) of the internally threaded wheel (14), and a
spring member (15) adapted to urge the arm (9a) of the power accumulation
wheel (9) against the conical portion (14c) of the internally threaded
wheel (14).

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for reducing a hip fracture utilizing a minimally
invasive procedure which does not require incision of the quadriceps. A femoral implant in
accordance with the present invention achieves intramedullary fixation as well as fixation
into the femoral head to allow for the compression needed for a femoral fracture to heal. To
position the femoral implant of the present invention, an incision is made along the greater
trochanter. Because the greater trochanter is not circumferentially covered with muscles, the
incision can be made and the wound developed through the skin and fascia to expose the
greater trochanter, without incising muscle, including, e.g., the quadriceps. After exposing
the greater trochanter, novel instruments of the present invention are utilized to prepare a
cavity in the femur extending from the greater trochanter into the femoral head and further
extending from the greater trochanter into the intramedullary canal of the femur. After
preparation of the femoral cavity, a femoral implant in accordance with the present invention
is inserted into the aforementioned cavity in the femur. The femoral implant is thereafter
secured in the femur, with portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the
femoral head and portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the femoral
shaft.

Abstract: After an ACK is received from a digital video camera (DVC), a DV control program judges whether a transport time-out acquired from a wTransportTimeout field has elapsed or not. If a status change notification is received before the lapse of the transport time-out or if the status change notification cannot be received before the lapse of the transport time-out, the DV control program transmits a status request (a request for requesting status information representative of the current status of DVC) to DVC via a control pipe. With the provision of such a DV control program, it becomes possible to reliably know a change in the status of DVC to a predetermined status by using Universal Serial Bus (USB).

Abstract: A hyperboloid contact socket is provided which can be manufactured in a cost efficient manner using automated high speed manufacturing processes and wherein different types of terminations can be affixed to the contact socket as desirable for user requirements. <??>The contact socket comprises a tubular body of metal or other suitable conductive material and preferably having at one end a lip defining an entrance aperture for receiving a mating pin terminal and having on the opposite end a termination of an intended configuration for attachment to a circuit board or other device or item. The tubular body contains a plurality of conductive wires conductively and permanently affixed at their respective ends to respective inner surfaces at or near the outer and inner ends of the body and disposed in an angular disposition to the longitudinal axis to form the shape of a single sheet hyperboloid. No additional sleeves or tubes are necessary to secure the contact wires as in conventional hyperboloid contacts. <??>In one aspect of the invention a mandrel employed to orient the wires within the tubular body during fabrication of the contact socket remains attached to the tubular body after assembly of the contact wires and serves as a connecting pin to which various terminations can be attached. This aspect of the invention provides conductive and permanent attachment of the wires to the tubular body and to the mandrel through deformation of the body by rolling, crimping, swaging or other suitable means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Ensuring that a tunable device (108; 608), such as a tunable optical filter, accurately tracks the
wavelength of a local oscillator signal involves a controller (110; 610) that generates (704) at
least one synchronization signal as the local oscillator signal is swept (702) across a range of
wavelengths and adjusts (706) an operating characteristic of the tunable device in response to
the at least one synchronization signal. Before the local oscillator signal is swept across the
range of wavelengths, the operating characteristic of the tunable device and the wavelength of
the local oscillator signal are initially set (700) to matching values.

Abstract: An ink supply system is used with a printer of the type in which ink is deposited in an engraved receiving region on a cliché plate (16) and is scraped from the plate leaving ink in the receiving region. The ink supply system includes an ink cup (18) having a hollow interior defining an ink reservoir and defining an outer edge. The outer edge has a doctor blade (26) formed thereon for engaging and scraping the plate. The ink cup has an inlet and an outlet. A pump (30) has a suction side and a discharge side with the suction side in flow communication with the cup outlet for drawing ink from the cup. A viscosity controller is in flow communication with the pump discharge and receives ink from the pump. A flow conduit extends between the viscosity controller and the ink cup for providing a flow of ink from the viscosity controller to the ink cup. The pump draws ink from the cup to create a negative pressure within the cup and the negative pressure within the cup draws ink from the viscosity controller to the ink cup through the flow conduit.

Die beiden Flansche zeigen zumindest im Bereich des oberen Fensterrahmens in zumindest annähernd entgegengesetzte Richtungen und sind annähernd parallel zur Ebene der Fensterscheibe angeordnet. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den bekannten Fensterrahmen einer Fahrzeugtür zu verbessern, sodass der Fensterrahmen nur mehr eine geringe Höhe aufweist. 
     Erfindungsgemäß weist ein Fensterrahmen (1) einer Fahrzeugtür in Schalenbauweise eine innere und eine äußere Blechschale (4 und 5) auf, die über zwei Flansche (6, 7) miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Flansche (6, 7) zeigen dabei zumindest im Bereich des oberen Fensterrahmens (1) zumindest annähernd in entgegengesetzte Richtungen und sind gegenüber der Ebene der Fensterscheibe (2) mit einem Winkel von mindestens 45° geneigt. Vorteilhafterweise sind die beiden Flansche (6, 7) annähernd lotrecht zur Ebene der Fensterscheibe (2) angeordnet. Die Flansche (6, 7) stehen damit primär nicht mehr nach oben und unten, sondern zu den Seiten hin ab. Damit tragen die Flansche (6, 7) nicht mehr oder zumindest nur noch geringfügig zur Höhe des Fensterrahmens (1) in Richtung der Fensterscheibe (2) bei.
