Inventor: PORTER TIMOTHY L
IPC: G01N29/02
Filed: 2003-06-03
Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensing chemical and/or biological analytes includes a deflectable arm of a microcantilever at least partially embedded within a sensing element. A gaseous or liquid medium which may include the analyte being detected is introduced to the sensing element. The sensing element undergoes volumetric expansion or contraction in the presence of the analyte sought to be detected, typically by adsorbing the analyte. The volumetric change of the sensing element causes the deflectable arm to deflect. The deflectable arm includes at least one measurable physical property which changes when the arm deflects. Detecting means are provided to measure the change in the physical property to determine the presence and amount of analyte present. An array of microcantilevers in which each microcantilever is dedicated to detecting a particular analyte which may be included in the medium, is also provided.

Abstract: In the related art, it was necessary to provide a
specific tool for tightening a locknut onto a pivot shaft.
The present invention provides a pivot shaft 70 that
includes a shaft member
72 having a male screw portion 71 to be thread-connected to
a vehicle body frame 14, and a nut member 80 having a female
screw portion 81 to be thread-connected to part of a male screw
portion 71 of the shaft member 72 corresponding to a projecting
thread portion 73 projecting from the vehicle body frame 14.
The nut member 80 as a locknut is attached so as to prevent
the rotation of the adjusted shaft member 72. 
     The locknut is a nut member formed into a
cap-shape or a ball-head locknut shape, and a tool engaging
portion with which a multi-purpose tightening tool can be
engaged is formed on the nut member. Since the nut member can
be turned by the multi-purpose tool, it is not necessary to
provide a specific tool. In addition, since the multi-purpose
tool can be engaged with the tool engaging portion on the nut
member accurately, control of tightening torque is facilitated,
and the number of steps for controlling the tightening torque
can be reduced.

Abstract: An interaxle transfer case distributes drive power from an input
drive shaft to both a rear propshaft aligned with the input drive shaft
and to a front propshaft that is offset from both the input drive shaft
and the rear propshaft. Within the transfer case, a planetary gear
unit provides for delivering drive power from the input drive shaft to
the front and rear propshafts at different speed ratios. A single-pinion
differential gear unit within the transfer case provides for
unequally dividing drive torque between the front and rear propshafts.
Planet gears of the planetary gear unit and pinion gears from the
single-pinion differential gear unit are mounted for rotation within a
common carrier. The common carrier has one or more extended
portions for supporting ends of a transfer case housing.

Abstract: A first electrically conductive body and a first solid body are located on the same side of a first base member. A second electrically conductive body is located on a second base member at a position opposed to the first electrically conductive body. A second solid body is located on the second base member at a position opposed to the first solid body. Even when a larger urging force is applied on the second base member, the panel unit allows the first and second solid bodies to receive the urging force. The first and second solid bodies serve to hold the urging force. A predetermined space can thus reliably be kept between the first and second electrically conductive bodies. Establishment of electric connection can be prevented between the first and second electrically conductive bodies. The panel unit keeps normally operating.
