IPC: B62M9/127
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: A derailleur cable router (40) changes the direction of a derailleur cable operatively attached to a rear derailleur to a bicycle frame. The rear derailleur (24') is actuated by variation in tension applied to the derailleur cable (26') from a direction rearward of the derailleur. The tension in the derailleur cable is controlled by a shifter attached to a distal end of the derailleur cable, the shifter being mounted to the bicycle frame forward of the derailleur. The derailleur cable (26') includes a cable housing (34') around at least a portion of the derailleur cable (26') with the derailleur housing being fixed against lengthwise movement relative to the bicycle frame by attachment to the bicycle frame. The derailleur cable router includes a frame (42) having a first (48) and a second end (50). A housing is provided at the first end of the frame and the housing is attachable to a derailleur cable housing. A second housing is provided at the second end of the frame, the second housing being attachable to a derailleur cable feed of a rear derailleur. The first housing includes a first cable channel for receiving a derailleur cable from within a derailleur cable housing and the second housing includes a second cable channel for passing a derailleur cable to a rear derailleur cable feed. A pulley (60) having an axis of rotation in a circumferential groove (62) is mounted to the frame for rotation about its axis of rotation intermediate the first and second ends of the frame with the circumferential groove of the pulley aligned with the first and second cable channels so that a derailleur cable can be received in the first cable channel, engaged with a portion of the circumferential groove and passed through the second cable channel. Preferably the first cable channel, the second cable channel channels so that a derailleur cable can be received in the first cable channel, engaged with a portion of the circumferential groove and passed through the second cable channel. Preferably the first cable channel, the second cable channel and the circumferential groove of the pulley all lie within substantially the same plane.

Abstract: The metal gasket according to the present invention is formed by bead base plates(1, 2) comprising elastic metal plates having beads(4) and auxiliary beads(5) along the circumferences of holes(7), and an intermediate plate(3) interposed between these bead base plates(1, 2). The stoppers(9) and stepped portions(13) formed on the intermediate plate(3) prevent the total compression of the beads(4) on the bead base plates(1, 2) when the metal gasket is tightened, and enable the irregularity of the opposed surfaces of a cylinder head (15) and a cylinder block(16) to be offset. The auxiliary beads(5) provided on the bead base plates(1, 2) display the sealing performance with respect to the beads(4) and minimize the dead spaces around the holes (7).

Abstract: A ceramic particulate material which comprises particles having an irregular three dimensional surface profile having jagged projections and a median particle diameter of 200 micrometres or less, the particles being fractals produced by comminution of foamed ceramic material. The material may comprise essentially particles having a median particle diameter in the range 2 micrometres to 100 micrometres and may be such that in a sphere of rotation of the particle from 30%to 80% of the volume of the sphere is void, the remainder being continuous solid material. 
     The material provides an improved synthetic substitute for diatomite and may be used in all of the applications in which diatomite is used, especially in filter and particulate additive applications. 
     The material may be produced by a process which includes providing a suspension of ceramic forming particles eg., of an aluminosilicate such as clay, in a liquid medium, incorporating a gas in the liquid medium before or after formation of the suspension therein to produce a foamed suspension, extruding the foamed suspension, optionally drying the extrudate formed thereby, calcining the extrudate and comminuting the calcined material, eg. by crushing.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un pansement associant un feutre (1) d'une densité échelonnée et une couche fibreuse absorbante (2) afin de ramener le phénomène d'absorption agressive qui est le fait de la couche absorbante (2) à un rythme acceptable dans le cadre de l'emploi d'un pansement et de garantir que les fibres d'alginate, absorbantes et potentiellement irritantes, demeurent isolées de la zone blessée. Le feutre à densité échelonnée (1) agit comme couche de régulation ou couche barrière à l'encontre de la couche fibreuse absorbante (2) et limite, de ce fait, la vitesse d'exsudation, de la plaie vers la couche fibreuse absorbante (2). De surcroît, la couche régulatrice (1) étale véritablement l'exsudat pour donner un profil conique de transmission, renforçant donc l'efficacité du pansement.

IPC: B60Q1/44
Filed: 1996-05-20
Abstract: Automotive braking technology has made significant advances over the past 35 years but, while these improvements resulted in considerably reduced braking distances, the electrical system for activating the vehicle's brake-lights has remained static. The aim of the present invention is to have the brake-lights of automotive vehicles in general activated as soon as the driver takes his foot off the accelerator. This configuration gives the driver of the vehicle following a lead-time to react not currently available. To implement this new configuration, the invention introduces a small microprocessor driven device called ABLA (Advanced Brake-Light Activator) which causes the brake-lights to go on as soon as the accelerator is released. This device has the added advantage of being able to be installed during the vehicle's normal assembly process and can likewise be retro-fitted on millions of vehicles presently on the road. Furthermore, the new configuration introduces two additional road-safety features: parallel electric circuits to activate the vehicle's brake-lights, and the standard of automatically activated brake-lights whenever a vehicle is temporarily stopped in traffic.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having an SOI structure
capable of effectively preventing diffusion of an impurity
from a source/drain region on an endmost portion of a
silicon layer under a gate electrode is disclosed. In this
semiconductor device, nitrogen (8) is introduced into at
least either a source/drain region (14) or an end portion
of a semiconductor layer (3) located under a gate
electrode (12), and the concentration profile of the
nitrogen has a first concentration peak at least in either
one of an endmost portion of the source/drain region in
the direction where the gate electrode extends and an
endmost portion of the semiconductor layer located under
the gate electrode. Due to this concentration profile of
nitrogen, point defects or the like serving as mediation
for diffusion of an impurity are trapped, whereby
diffusion of the impurity from the source/drain region 14
is inhibited as a result. Thus, generation of an abnormal
leakage current or the like is prevented.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide rare-earth system sintered magnets such as R-Fe-B system or R-Co system having excellent magnetic properties, unique configuration of a small size, thin wall thickness and intricate geometry. With the method for preparing the present invention, a granulation of alloy powders can be achieved easily, a chemical reaction between rare-earth system and binder substances can be suppressed, so that the residual oxygen and carbon levels in the sintered products can be reduced. Moreover, by this production method, the flowability and lubricant capability during the forming process can be improved. The dimension accuracy and productivity are also enhanced. A certain type of binder is added to rare-earth alloy powders and kneaded into a slurry state. The slurry is then formed into granulated powders by spray-dryer equipment. The thus granulated powders are molded, and sintered through a powder metallurgy technique.
