Abstract: A bending mechanism comprising a tubular body or linear body having a bending part, a movable part which can move in the lengthwise direction of said tubular body or linear body, two actuators formed to antagonize via said movable part, and a pull wire which extends in the lengthwise direction along the bending part, one end of the wire being fixed to one end side of the bending part and the other end of the wire being fixed to the movable part set at the other end side of the bending part, wherein at least one of the two actuators is a shape memory element, and a stereoscope. The bending mechanism of the present invention is free of displacement of movable part when bending action is not needed, since two actuators are used which antagonize each other via movable part, whereby buckling of the bending part can be prevented. The simple structure of activator unit of the present invention facilitates reduction of the size of the structure. The stereoscope of the present invention is free of buckling of image guide and the like, and angle of convergence can be adjusted easily and a desired three-dimensional view can be obtained easily.

Abstract: A drive unit for a motor vehicle having an engine; a transmission featuring a transmission housing; and a retarder featuring a rotor and a stator. A retarder shaft is provided that is supported by two bearings which are offset along the axial length of the retarder shaft. At least one of the bearings ("outside bearing") is supported by a wall ("outside wall") of the transmission housing. The retarder shaft protrudes freely beyond the outside wall of the transmission housing. Disposed on the retarder shaft, outside the outer bearing, on the outside wall, is a sealing component. The sealing component seals the clearance between the retarder (or pinion) shaft and the outside wall, preventing passage therethrough of the transmission oil and the operating medium of the retarder.

The cover comprises an elongate body having the interior chamber and an axial through hole which extends along the entire length of the body, through the interior chamber and through which the cannula is slidably received. Displacing elements are positioned within the interior chamber, each of which includes a hole for receiving said cannula therethrough, and which displaces upon retraction of the tip of said cannula, thereby preventing subsequent advancement of said cannula tip. In a first embodiment the displacing elements are annular rings. In a second embodiment, the elements are rigid balls having through holes. In a third embodiment, the displacing elements are a pair of conical elements, one of which is spring biased, each of which includes an offset hole. In each embodiment, it is preferable that the cannula should include a thickened rib adjacent to said tip, and the safety cover should correspondingly include an annular section in the rear portion thereof. The through hole extending through the rear portion has a diameter which is smaller than said thickened rib of said cannula whereby the cannula tip may not be retracted from the safety cover.

Abstract: A speech model preparing method capable of easily preparing a new Hidden Marcov Model (HMM) of an input speech with a very small number of utterances such as once or twice , and a speech recognition apparatus using this method. A speech recognition apparatus uses, as a speech model, a continuous distribution type HMM defined by three parameters of a state transition probability, an average vector and a variance. The apparatus computes (7) an average vector of an input speech to be learned, selects an HMM approximate to the input to-be-learned speech as an initial model from a registration dictionary (3), replaces at least an average vector of the selected HMM with the computed average vector of the to-be-learned speech and adds an obtained HMM as an HMM for the input to-be-learned speech in the dictionary (3).

Abstract: Web feed apparatus , for example in web printing and
folding apparatus, has a pair of opposing rollers, one
(28) on a fixed axis and one (22) laterally movable to
define an adjustable nip gap between their peripheries.
The gap is automatically set and adjusted by a setting
screw (4) driven by a servo motor (60) with rotation of
the screw monitors by a potentiometer sensor (64). A
stop collar (52) on the screw limits axial displacement
thereof to determine the set nip gap and a spring (50)
urges the rollers towards each other but permits
displacement under overload conditions. A rectilinear
sensor (54) senses said conditions by monitoring relative
displacement by of the stop collar and a programmable
control system processes signals from the sensors and
operates the servo motor accordingly.
