Abstract: A ratchet mechanism for a bicycle hub includes a first
hub member (20, 20') and a second hub member (7, 75),
wherein the first hub member (20, 20') and the second
hub member (7, 75) are rotatable relative to each
other. A pawl (30, 30') is supported by the first hub
member (20, 20'), a ratchet tooth (11, 11') is
supported by the second hub member (7, 75), and a
biasing mechanism (23, 95) is provided for biasing the
pawl (30, 30') toward the ratchet tooth (11, 11'). A
pawl control mechanism (60, 100) is responsive to
relative rotation of the first hub member (20, 20') and
the second hub member (7, 75) for allowing the pawl
(30, 30') to contact the ratchet (11, 11') when the
first hub member (20, 20') and the second hub member
(7, 75) rotate relative to each other in one direction
and for preventing the pawl (30, 30') from contacting
the ratchet tooth (11, 11') when the first hub member
(20, 20') and the second hub member (7, 75) rotate
relative to each other in an opposite direction.

Abstract: A method for measuring an internal property
distribution, comprising the steps of: making
measurement light incident from a plurality of light
incidence positions on a surface of a measured object
successively into the object; detecting the measurement
light having passed through the object successively or
simultaneously at at least one light detection position
out of a plurality of light detection positions on the
surface of said object and in a predetermined
positional relation with respect to a light incidence
position at which the measurement light to be measured
was incident; obtaining a measured value of a
predetermined parameter of said measurement light,
based on each measurement light detected at each light
detection position; extracting a plurality of said
measured values obtained by a plurality of combinations
of said light incidence position and said light
detection position said positional relation of which is
relatively identical and calculating a mean value of
the measured values to obtain a reference value in the
positional relation; and calculating a change amount of
a predetermined internal property in each region of
said object divided into a plurality of regions, using
said plurality of measured values obtained by said
plurality of combinations, and said reference value, 
thereby obtaining an internal property change amount
distribution in the object.

Abstract: An indoor air pollutant destruction apparatus destroys
pollutants by a corona discharge that is generated
by a rapidly oscillating electric field. Free electrons
generated by the corona discharge produces ozone
(O 3 ), which effectively destroys volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and biological forms such as bacteria,
fungi, viruses and spores. Fine particulate materials
(52) such as smoke and dust are charged by the corona
discharge, and when they pass through the rapidly oscillating
electric field, they coagulate to form larger
particles (54) which are then filtered out.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compression-decompression technique used
for processing a frame of data in multimedia animation, comprising the steps of:
   setting a predetermined criteria;   creating a sprite based frame related to said data;   performing a pixel-by-pixel comparison of said data with a preceding frame
for creating a frame differences based frame;   determining a first data rate of said sprite based frame and a second data rate
of said frame differences based frame;   comparing said first and said data rates to said predetermined criteria; and   selecting one of said sprite based frame and said frame differences based
frame as a compressed frame.    
     By this approach, systems and methods of the present invention can provide
adaptive animation compression.

and a hinge line (62) on the upper of the base permits
upward displacement of the displaceable members (56) of the
base.

Inventor: ROGOZIN ALEXANDER F
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 1997-04-14
Abstract: An improved gas controlled arc vapor deposition
process and apparatus are disclosed. Process gas is
selectively introduced through the cathode evaporation
surface (20a) of a cathode (20) to create and maintain a process gas
activation zone immediately adjacent to the cathode
evaporation surface. Cathode structures having process gas
passageways (20b) formed therethrough and porous cathode (20e)
structures configured from gas permeable materials are
disclosed. The concentrated introduced gas in the process
gas activation zone significantly increases the degree of
excitation, dissociation and ionization level of process gas
atoms and molecules, which sharply lowers the threshold of
synthesis reaction on the cathode evaporation surface and
changes the nature and operation of the cathode spots.
Deposition coating processes are performed at low chamber
gas pressures, enabling more of the highly charged plasma
particles from the process gas activation zone to reach the
substrate (37), for providing dense, smooth, hard, macroparticle-free
coatings with more efficiency and at higher deposition
rates.

Abstract: The conventional aqueous suspension of loteprednol etabonate
is not easily amenable to production pH control and entails a
pH depression on long-term storage, thus irritating the eye or
the nasal mucosa on instillation. 
When a C2-7 aliphatic amino acid is added to an aqueous
suspension of loteprednol etabonate for topical ophthalmic
use, the suspension does not undergo pH depression even on
prolonged storage, with the result that no irritable response
is elicited in the eye or nasal mucosa.

be put inside a strap, especially a watch-strap, or more
generally inside a belt to be worn for instance in connection
with a particular article of clothing, or inside an animal
collar, with all the consequent beneficial effects. 
     In general, the peculiarity of the present invention consists
in introducing at least a copper insert (4) between an outer
covering (2) and an inner lining (3) of the above indicated
strap. 
     The described assembly involves that prominent parts (6)
of the copper insert (4) touch the skin of a person using
such a watch-strap or the like. In this way, the skin of
the user is connected with the whole copper insert itself,
there being beneficial reactions owing to a favourable exchange

Abstract: Apparatus is described for controlling delivery of dangerous material, such as LPG, from a tanker 12 to a tank 14, through a pipe 16. A valve 18 is controlled by an arrangement 22. An operator 28 carries a radio transmitter 24 and must periodically transmit an appropriate signal to the control 22, otherwise the control 22 will time out and close the valve, also sounding an alarm. In accordance with the invention, the transmitter 24 is also provided with a timer, having a shorter count down time, and also re-set when the signal is sent to the control 22. The timer in the transmitter 24 alerts the operator 28 that a signal should be sent, giving the operator an opportunity to send a signal before the control 22 closes the valve 18. However, if the operator does not send a signal, or is incapable of doing so, the timer at 22 will assume that an emergency situation exists, and cease further delivery. <IMAGE>
