Abstract: A wheel end assembly for a mass transit vehicle includes an output shaft mounted
to a wheel hub for driving a vehicle wheel. The output shaft is driven by a gear assembly
mounted within a gear housing and operably coupled to an input shaft. The gear assembly
includes an input gear driven by the input shaft, a first reduction gear in meshing
engagement with the input gear, a second reduction gear operably coupled to the first
reduction gear for rotation therewith, and an output gear in meshing engagement with the
second reduction gear. The first and second reduction gears are supported on a common
shaft that is positioned between the input and output shafts. The input gear and first
reduction gear are positioned outboard from the output gear and associated bearings. This
double reduction configuration allows vehicle aisle width to be maintained while providing
a deeper drop allowing the vehicle floor to be lowered to a position closer to the ground.

and power side terminal pieces 32a to 32c is disposed either of
positions L and R located laterally next to an axis of a motor and
opposed to each other with respect to the axis. Both terminals are
connected each other through a connection unit 36 ditachably
fitted to the brush side terminals 31a and others and the power
side terminal pieces 32a and others. The connection unit 36 has
male terminals 37a to 37c to be coupled to the brush side terminal
31a and others, female terminals 38a to 38c to be coupled to the
power side terminal piece 32a and others, and a coil part for
noise prevention connecting the male terminal 37a and others to
the female terminal 38a and others. The connection part 30 can be
set to the position L or R by rotating the brush holder 15 in
circumferential direction, which makes it possible to use the
connection unit 36 at any of these positions. Thus, the brush
holder unit can be shared in electric motors having speed

Abstract: The invention includes a' floating scroll' mechanism for scroll type fluid displacement apparatus (10). The dual orbiting scroll (60) has spiral vanes (62, 62') on both sides of the end plate (61, 61'). In a floating scroll, the orbiting scroll is dynamically well balanced, axially and radially. The scrolls are fully or semi- axially and radially compliant for maintaining minimum contacting forces between components, hence achieving good sealing for high speed, high efficiency, low friction wear and power loss. A crank shaft-sliding knuckle (64, 64') and/or peripheral crank handles-sliding knuckle mechanism (168a, 168'a) provide the dual orbiting scroll with radial compliant capability. A synchronizer (170) is used to synchronize the orientation of the crank handles (162a, 162b, 162c) to avoid the mechanism from jamming during operation and start up.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of purifying recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) from a solution, which method comprises to subject a cell culture supernatant (CCS) comprising rHSA cation exchange on a bimodal high salt tolerant matrix; hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC); anion exchange; and recovering the purified rHSA. The bimodal high salt tolerant cation exchange matrix used enables performing a purification of a cell culture supernatant directly, in the sense that no further dilution thereof is necessary. Due to its high binding capacity, said bimodal cation exchange matrix also allows use of a smaller amount of matrix as compared to a corresponding conventional cation exchanger matrix. Accordingly, the present invention allows substantial savings as regards volumes and consequently operation costs.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Umwindegarn, welches aus einem hochelastischen Faden und einem diesen umwindenden Deckfaden besteht. Bei einer Dehnung des fertigen Umwindegarnes wird der Umwindefaden gestreckt und ist in sich drehungsfrei, während der elastische Faden den gestreckten Umwindefaden umschlingt. Die Herstellung des Umwindegarnes erfolgt in der Weise, daß die Umwindung des hoschelastischen Fadens bei einer Vorspannung des hochelastischen Fadens erfolgt, die größer als die Anspannung des Umwindefadens bei der Umwindung ist. Der Umwindefaden erhält beim Umwinden des elastischen Fadens eine Drehung, die sich bei Streckung des fertigen Umwindegarnes wieder auflöst, so daß der Umwindefaden bei der Gebrauchsdehnung des aus dem Umwindegarn erzeugten Artikels weitgehend drehungsfrei ist und seine Filamente im wesentlichen parallel zueinander liegen.
