Abstract: This invention is a side wheel attachment for removably attaching an auxiliary side wheel to a bicycle. The side wheel attachment comprises a single structural rod which is folded in the desired shape, i.e. forms a helical torsion spring. In natural unbiased condition, the first and second ends of the spring rod extend generally perpendicularly to one another. The first end of the spring is inversely U-shaped and tangentially engages by its web the rear axle of the bicycle where it can be fixed after adjusting its vertical position relative to the bicycle. The second end of the spring rod is rotatably engaged by the auxiliary side wheel, therefore acting as its axle. Both ends can angularly move relative to one another due to the helical spring. Therefore, in use, both auxiliary side wheels (installed on one side and the other of the rear bicycle wheel) and the rear bicycle wheel loaded by a bicycle rider, always stay in contact with the ground so as to accomplish their respective tasks. The novelty of this invention resides in the structural simplicity of the side wheel attachment which is, as previously stated, constructed from a single structural rod.

Abstract: Une unité de stockage d'informations comprend un châssis (1), un disque d'information magnétique (9, 10), en particulier un disque dur magnétique rotatif autour d'un axe (910), une tête magnétique (52-55) montée sur un support pivotant (56-59) et un dispositif de levage de la tête magnétique par rapport au disque d'information. Ce dispositif de levage comprend un actionneur électromagnétique (62-65) ayant un premier élément d'actionneur qui est fixe par rapport au châssis et un deuxième élément d'actionneur placé sur une partie mobile (56b-59b) du support. Quand l'actionneur est excité, ces éléments d'actionneur agissent de concert, par l'intermédiaire d'un entrefer, pour produire une force de levage. Une excitation de ce genre est effectuée en particulier quand on fait démarrer et qu'on arrête une opération de balayage, afin d'éviter d'endommager le disque d'information. L'excitation exige une quantité d'énergie relativement faible, et cette mesure a un effet favorable sur le couple de démarrage nécessaire.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of channel allocation in a fixed radio link network. For each radio link to be commissioned channels, interference level measurement on each available channel of the frequency band is carried out. Based on the interference measurements, best transmission and reception channel for the link are selected. Thereafter, the radio link can be commissioned and measurements in the next radio link to be commissioned can be started. Instead of using a fixed and pre-set channel for the fixed radio link, a channel is assigned autonomously and automatically when commissioning the link, depending on interference measurement results and/or distance measurement results. The possibility for automatic channel selection decreases the amount of commissioning work by removing the need for detailed frequency planning and fixed channel setting at the factory for each radio.

Abstract: A medical fluid suctioning device for selectively applying varied levels of suction pressure at a device-tissue interface includes a direct "trumpet"-type control mechanism in conjunction with a "venturi"-type control. A valve manifold is adapted to couple a vent pathway and a suction pathway simultaneously to the vacuum conduit adapted for connection to a vacuum source. The amount of resistance to flow due to vacuum pressure is adjusted simultaneously in both the vent pathway and the suction pathway in order to achieve controlled, selected levels of suction. Similarly shaped valve apertures are provided in inverse and reciprocal orientation along an axis of motion of a valve manifold. The apertures translate across ports to the suction and venting pathways simultaneously to vary applied suction to those pathways inversely. The shaped valve apertures preferably have diminished elliptical shapes having an elongate axis with an increasing cross-sectional area going from a transverse short axis to a transverse wide axis along the axis of motion of the valve manifold. The diminished elliptical shapes are inversely oriented relative to each other as regards the positioning of their wide and short transverse axis along the axis of motion.
