Abstract: A speed change operation device for a vehicle (1) with
continuously variable transmission (5) having a running apparatus (6,7,8),
a power source (4) and a continuously variable transmission (5) for
transmitting power from the power source (4) to the running
apparatus (6,7,8). The speed change operation device (30) comprises a first
movable member (32) operated by a speed change operation member (10) to
rotate; a second movable member (35) connected to a speed change
operation quantity input section of the continuously variable
transmission (5) directly or indirectly through a transmission means
to change speed of the continuous variable transmission (5); a first
rotation support shaft (31) pivotally supporting the first movable
member (32); and a second rotation support shaft (34) disposed in parallel
with the first rotation shaft (31) for pivotally supporting the second
movable member (35). And the first and second movable members (32,35) are
connected with each other so that rotating force is transmitted
from the first movable member (32) to the second movable member (35) and
alternatively the second movable member (35) can rotate independently.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for use in turning steerable vehicle
wheels includes a rack gear (14) and a sector gear (16)
which are disposed in meshing engagement. A lash
adjustment assembly (46) is operable to move the sector
gear (16) to reduce clearance between teeth (18 and 20) on
the rack and sector gears upon rotation of the sector gear
to an initial or on-center condition. The lash adjustment
assembly (46) includes a force transmitting member (60)
having a threaded end portion (90) which engages threads
(92) on the sector gear (16). A power spring (100) is
connected with the force transmitting member (60) and
stores energy to rotate the force transmitting member
relative to the sector gear (16). When the sector gear
(16) moves to the on-center condition, an index pin (150)
is moved relative to an index wheel (138) to release the
force transmitting member (60) for rotation through a
predetermined distance relative to the sector gear (16).
When the force transmitting member (60) has rotated through
the predetermined distance, an index pin (152) retains the
index wheel (138) and force transmitting member against
rotation.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided with a wiring body
including an insulating supporting substrate, and signal lines,
power lines and ground lines printed on first and second
surfaces of the insulating supporting substrate. The wiring
body is mounted on a semiconductor chip, inside pads of the
lines of the wiring body are connected with bonding pads on the
semiconductor chip through first metal lines, and outside pads
of the lines are connected with leads of a lead frame. Since
the wiring body has a structure in which the lines are
supported by the insulating supporting substrate, refined and
various line patterns can be formed by using the wiring body,
and an impedance matching function can also be attained. Thus,
the invention provides a semiconductor device which can exhibit
high noise resistance for a high frequency signal and a high
operation speed and a wiring body to be disposed in a high
frequency circuit.

Abstract: Slackness of a ball spline joint which engages a first member of a circular
shape and a second member fitted outside of the first member is measured by
measuring a displacement of a first measurement point (P1) and a second
measurement point (P2). The measurement points are set on the radial line
passing through the center of the first member and the center of the spline
groove. Using the distances ( R1, R2 ) between the center of the first member
and the measurement points (P1, P2), and the displacement amount ( A1 ,  A2 )
of the measurement points (P1, P2) under a predetermined relative torque, the
slackness of the joint is calculated. By arranging the measurement points
(P1,P2) on either side of the center of the first member, the effect of measurement
error in the displacement amount ( A1 ,  A2 ) on the calculation is reduced.

IPC: G02B6/24

Abstract: An article having an optical fiber integrally attached to a micro-device having
spaced movable and nonmoving layers suitable for creating optical interference effects
is disclosed. In one configuration, the micro-device is suitable for optical modulation,
wherein the movable layer is electrostatically actuated to move towards the nonmoving
layer. Such movement changes the size of the gap between the layers, resulting in a
change in micro-device reflectivity. An optical signal is modulated by controlling
micro-device reflectivity via a controlled voltage source. In a second configuration, the
micro-device is suitable for measuring pressure. For pressure measurement, the
movable membrane moves in response to pressure changes. The change in membrane
position again results in a change in micro-device reflectivity. Reflectivity is
correlatable to pressure. In a third configuration, the micro-device is suitable for
measuring temperature. In the third configuration, the movable membrane is isolated
from pressure effects by the addition of an evacuated cavity located beneath the
membrane. The region between the movable and nonmoving layers is gas filled.
Changes in gas pressure due to changes in gas temperature cause the movable layer to
move, affecting micro-device reflectivity. Reflectivity is correlatable to temperature.
