Abstract: A tappet is used in an internal combustion engine of vehicles. A core material of the tappet has a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface, and a wear resistant coating layer the ends of which are chamfered. In the vicinity of the end of the core material, the helical groove gradually becomes smaller toward the end, thereby preventing peaks of the helical groove from exposure to the outside.

Abstract: Determining by a computer mouse the pressure that an operator uses to grip the mouse and to actuate switches on the mouse and alerting the operator by the mouse if the pressure is excessive. This monitoring and alerting gives the operator immediate and consistent feedback on misuse of the mouse. In a first embodiment, the computer mouse alerts the operator to excessive pressure by means of an audio alarm. In the second embodiment, the computer mouse transmits the pressure information to a connected computer. The computer can alert the operator with an audio message or alert the operator by displaying the alerting information on a display screen of the computer.

Abstract: A butterfly valve comprising a cylindrical valve body (1), a sheet ring (5) fitted into the inner periphery of the valve body (1), and a discoid valve disk (3) for opening or closing the valve is constituted so that, when opening the valve by rotating the valve disk (3), opening starts from the lateral end of the valve disk (3) to be rotated to the downstream side of the disk (3) by forming a gap between the sheet ring (5) and the sealing surface (3c) of the valve disk (3) and the gap between the sheet ring (5) and the sealing surface (3c) of the valve disk (3) expands toward the lateral end of the valve disk (3) to be rotated to the upstream side of the disk (3) as the valve disk (3) further opens and moreover, so that the sheet ring (5) is not influenced by a jet flow or turbulent flow produced due to a narrowed channel (4) by setting the sheet ring (5) to the upstream side of a position where the channel (4) is most narrowed when a valve opening rate is approximately 15% in which the load applied to the sheet ring (5) due to fluid is maximized. Thereby, a butterfly valve can be obtained which has a characteristic capable of finely controlling a flow rate of 10% or less of the total flow rate.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système photographique réparti pour faire des autoportraits, qui réduit les coûts par rapport aux cabines photographiques traditionnelles, en séparant la fonction d'acquisition d'image (10) et la fonction de restitution d'image (30). On obtient un plus grand contrôle du système, en permettant à un opérateur à distance se trouvant dans des locaux commerciaux de piloter à distance le système d'acquisition d'image. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, le système d'acquisition d'image utilise un fractionneur de faisceau, qui permet à la lumière portant l'image de pénétrer dans une caméra vidéo, laquelle projette ensuite les images par l'intermédiaire d'un affichage à cristaux liquides et les renvoie ensuite sur le fractionneur de faisceau, lequel les réfléchit vers l'extérieur à destination de l'utilisateur. L'utilisateur peut alors choisir quelle image vidéo il désire voir apparaître sur un support en papier, en indiquant à l'aide d'un panneau utilisateur qu'une image est acceptable. Une fois cette opération effectuée, l'image est envoyée électroniquement vers une station d'impression à distance qui est commandée par un opérateur. L'utilisateur se rend ensuite auprès de cet opérateur pour prendre possession et payer le support en papier, éliminant ainsi la nécessité d'ajouter des systèmes de paiement automatique.

Abstract: An electrophysiological mapping device includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter slidable within the outer catheter, and an electronic activation and recording device for electrically activating electrodes on the inner catheter and/or recording electric signals received by the electrodes. The distal end of the inner catheter comprises a plurality of arms that carry electrodes. The arms bow outwardly upon extension of the inner catheter from the outer catheter to form a three-dimensional shape. Each arm has a spine of a superelastic material. Each spine is semicircular in section, and is disposed within a portion of a flexible sheath, the electrode lead wires being disposed in the rest of the sheath. The electrodes are formed from the ends of the insulated electrode lead wires which pass through the sheath, are wrapped around the sheath and then stripped of their insulation. The proximal and distal ends of the spines are fixed to proximal and distal fittings, each having a polygonal segment having flat sides which engage the flat surfaces of the spines and a clamping ring to secure the spines to the segments. A puller wire is attached to the distal end of the three-dimensional shape and passes through the inner catheter to the proximal end of the catheter where it is connected to a deflectable control handle which applies a proximally directed force to the puller wire causing the three-dimensional shape to expand outwardly. The puller wire is coated with TEFLON inside the inner catheter and with polyurethane outside the catheter allowing the inner catheter to translate smoothly inside the inner catheter and to be sealed at its distal end against the flow of blood. Multiple electrode configurations are provided to meet specific ablation and mapping requirements.

Abstract: In current voice telephony, CATV, and wireless networks, traffic is channelized for both access and transport. This channelization is wasteful of resources where multiple services have varying demands for bandwidth and holding times, or a service generates traffic that is bursty in nature. The invention solves these problems by providing flexible and adapatable multiservice access to the networks. Customer requirements are checked by monitoring traffic on a local access at a connection request and/or during the established connection, and the local access is configured according to the transmission requirements. The local access can also be configured in response to the network information.
