Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a hole depth in a composite-material workpiece machined by a orbital cutting tool, including the steps of applying a low-level electric potential to an electrically insulated cutting tool having a cutting head with radial and axial cutting edges and with a predetermined axial length; determining a first zero reference position as the cutting tool initially contacts a first surface of the workpiece and closes an electric circuit through the grounded workpiece; and detecting a second reference position when the cutting head penetrates an opposite, second surface of the workpiece. The finished hole depth is determined by deducting the predetermined axial length of the cutting head from the total length of axial advancement from the first zero reference position to the second reference position. The orbital machining apparatus includes ceramic bearings electrically insulating the spindle and the cutting tool from surrounding components of the apparatus.

Abstract: High voltage insulating materials in solid and liquid form which are provided in particular for use in high voltage generators for example for radiotechnology and computer tomography. The solid insulating materials are characterized in particular in that they have a high dielectric strength while having a relatively low weight. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of the insulating materials can be set relatively simply such that surface charges are reliably dissipated and voltage flashovers are avoided. Finally, with further embodiments, in particular in the case of hybrid insulating materials, it is possible to adapt or change the dielectric constant and/or the electrical conductivity of the insulating materials in a targeted manner such that the respective voltage drops over the insulting materials do not exceed the dielectric strength thereof.

Abstract: This mattress (1) is made of a block of flexible polyurethane foam (4) of 40 Kg/m 3  or of any other density, which is cut with an automatic programmable machine, first on the larger side and later turning the block by 90° on its smaller side, thus forming a certain number of springs (5) depending on each type of mattress (1).  The number of spirals (5.1) that each spring (5) has depends on the position of each one in the mattress (1) with the objective of varying its flexibility and that said mattress (1) should adapt perfectly to the shape of each person, or it can be constant throughout the entire mattress. Multiple variations can be carried out, maintaining the same height throughout the whole of the mattress (less spirals of the same spiral width with more uncut base, etc.; the width of a spiral can vary, the number of spirals, the inclination of the axis of the spirals, the inclination of the spiral, the total height of an area - raised section or cavity - etc.).  The product is finished on its upper face with a visco-elastic layer (3) of 50 Kg/m 3  polyurethane, 4 cm thick, and finally it includes knit padding (2).

Abstract: A locking hydraulic actuator has a cylinder and a main piston that is movable from an extend position to a retract position by a hydraulic circuit. The actuator has a locking mechanism that includes a lock piston that slides within a lock piston bore of the main piston. One or more lock segments are held by slots within the main piston and may be radially constrained within a tailstock housing and cylinder. The lock segments maintain the main piston in a locked position. The lock segments have two straight tapers, one on a proximal face and the other on a distal face, which transmit axial loading forces to and from the cylinder and main piston by distributed loading, thereby avoiding point-contact loading and material deformation. The lock piston, lock segments, piston, and cylinder may have different hardnesses.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for treating fractures. The systems, devices and methods may include one or both of an implant, such as an intramedullary nail, and a fastening assembly, such as a lag screw and compression screw assembly. The implant in some embodiments has a proximal section with a transverse aperture and a cross-section that may be shaped to more accurately conform to the anatomical shape of cortical bone and to provide additional strength and robustness in its lateral portions, preferably without requiring significant additional material. The fastening assembly may be received to slide, in a controlled way, in the transverse aperture of the implant. In some embodiments, the engaging member and the compression device are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the implant and a portion of the engaging member to enable controlled movement between the first and second bone fragments. This configuration is useful for, among other things, compressing a fracture.

Abstract: A mechanism for negotiating a relatively transport agnostic communication protocol for use in accomplishing a distributed activity. The potential protocols subject to negotiation may be, for example, extensions to Web Services Coordination. In that case, when the initiator creates a transaction, the initiator also negotiates the desired protocol with its transaction manager. The transaction manager and any other participants in the transaction will then follow that negotiated protocol when communicating with the transaction manager. The protocol may be selected to improve performance and may be tailored to existing needs and capabilities.

Abstract: A measurement transmitter, including: A microprocessor having a reset input and a clock output for providing a periodic clock signal; a monitoring circuit having a clock signal input and a reset output; and a current controller for issuing in a band range, during operation, a measurement signal current representing a measured value. The clock signal input is connected with the clock signal output and the reset input with the reset output. Upon absence of the clock signal, the reset output periodically issues a reset signal. The measurement transmitter further includes a comparator circuit having a first input, which is connected via a lowpass with the reset output of the monitoring circuit, and a second input, on which a reference voltage is applied. An output of the comparator circuit is connected with the current controller. After repeated output of the reset signal, the voltage at the first input of the comparator circuit moves above the reference voltage, so that a control signal is then present on the output of the comparator. The control signal causes the current controller to issue an error signal outside of the band range.
