Abstract: Sufficient pressure is produced in a pocket of a hydrostatic bearing
when a corresponding cylinder is about to switch from a suction stroke to a
discharge stroke in order to prevent solid contact of sliding faces. A plurality
of cylinders are arranged on a circle around a center axis of a cylinder
block rotatably supported in a housing. Pistons reciprocates in the respective
cylinders. A suction port and a discharge port provided to the housing
selectively communicate with the respective cylinders in accordance with a
rotational position of the cylinder block. A drive shaft inclined relative to
the center axis of the cylinder block, a rotation transmitting mechanism for
transmitting rotation of the drive shaft to the cylinder block for rotating the
cylinder block synchronously with the drive shaft, and a rotating disk
rotating together with the drive shaft and cooperatively engaged with the
pistons are further provided. A fixed sliding contact face is formed in the
housing to have a sliding contact with a rear face of the rotating disk.
Pressure pockets are formed on the rear face of the rotating disk in
correspondence with positions of the respective pistons. Pressure paths for
conducting hydraulic pressure in the respective cylinders to the respective
pressure pockets via the pistons are further provided. There is further
provided a pressure introducing mechanism for introducing a high pressure
fluid to a pocket moving along the fixed sliding contact face along with the
rotating disk at a position in which a corresponding cylinder is about to
switch from a suction stroke to a discharge stroke.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un composant électronique mobile qui est pourvu d'éléments de commande, servant à commander son fonctionnement, pouvant être actionnés depuis l'extérieur. Pour que ce composant soit encapsulé de façon étanche à l'eau sans que l'aptitude à l'actionnement des éléments de commande en souffre, ledit composant, y compris lesdits éléments de commande (4, 5), est, complètement et sans soudures entouré d'une enveloppe (6) en matière plastique fortement flexible, molle et se présentant, au moins dans la zone des touches, sous forme de couche. Il est ici avantageux que l'enveloppe soit constituée, dans la zone des éléments de commande, d'une matière plastique plus molle que celle se trouvant dans les autres zones. Pour produire un tel composant, on applique, de préférence au moins dans la zone des éléments de commande, sur le composant, de façon non détachable, une couche de matière plastique mince préproduite, adaptée à ladite zone, puis on applique sur les autres zones une matière plastique liquide durcissable qui, lors de son durcissement, se combine avec ladite couche de matière plastique sans formation de soudures.

Abstract: An x-ray tube providing excellent assembleability and
handleability. An electrically conductive metallized layer
11 is provided on the surface of a stem 3. Therefore, when
the x-ray tube 1 is being produced, thermally fusing nature
of brazing material A provided between the stem 3 and the
lower edge portion 8a of the focussing electrode 8 can be
improved by the metallized layer 11. Further, the
metallized layer 11 extends from the lower edge portion 8a
of the focussing electrode 8 to the low voltage cathode pin
5a. Therefore, electric continuity between the focussing
electrode 8 and the low voltage cathode pin 5a is achieved
on the surface 3a of the stem 3. There is no need for
separate wiring operations after the x-ray tube 1 is
assembled. Connection between the focussing electrode 8 and
the cathode pin 5a can be completed simultaneously with
completion of the brazing connection.
