Abstract: A fluid pump dispenser (10) of the loss motion piston type provides for maintaining the discharge ports (33) open a slight interval at the commencement of each plunger upstroke while the pump chamber (21) expands to retract productfrom the discharge passage (13) into the chamber to thereby avoid the formation of product droplets at the exit end of the discharge spout (12). Such is effected in accordance with one embodiment by reducing the friction force acting between the piston (18) and the pump cylinder (16) relative to the friction force acting between the piston (18) and the stem (11). In another embodiment an inlet valve assembly has a portion lying in the path of the piston which portion is connected by spring legs to a valve portion such that the restoring force of the spring legs shifts the piston together with the stem at the commencement of the plunger upstroke which maintains the discharge passage in open communication with the chamber.

Abstract: An air bag unit for a vehicle wherein a distributing body 40 is provided for
deflecting a flow of gas injected from an inflator 20 toward a circumferential direction
of a bag 10 and a tether 24 is provided at a position which is not in a gas flow
injecting direction. Therefore, since the gas flow is not blocked by the tether 24,
there is no risk of the gas flow being deflected toward an occupant, and the gas
securely flows to the circumferential side of the bag, whereby the inflating speed
of the bag toward the occupant side can be reduced. In addition, even if there are
two backward and forward gas flow injecting directions, it is possible to direct the
gas flows along the full length of the circumference of the bag in a well-balanced
fashion by adopting a bag folding method where the bag is more difficult to inflate
in the gas flow injecting direction than in a direction perpendicular to the gas flow
injecting direction.

Abstract: A mounting assembly (10) for an electrodeless lamp (100). The mounting assembly (10) comprises a fixture housing (14) having an inner surface (16) and an outer surface (18). The fixture housing is preferably made from aluminum. Spaced-apart heat sinks (20, 21) are affixed to the inner surface (16) of the fixture housing (14). A reflector (22), which is preferably concave, as is the fixture housing, is positioned within the fixture housing (14). The reflector (22) contains two apertures (24, 26) that are aligned with the heat sinks (20, 21). Thermal insulators (28, 29) are positioned in the apertures and surround the heat sinks, thus thermally isolating the reflector from the heat sinks. The lamp (100) is mounted in the fixture housing by attaching brackets (40, 42), which surround the ferrite transformer cores of the lamp, directly to the top surfaces of the heat sinks (20, 21). Mounting is preferably accomplished by having threaded holes formed in the heat sinks and fixing the brackets in place via screws through the legs (44) and screw receiving slots (46).

Abstract: Shadow paging is a technique used to achieve atomic and durable transactions, and
provides the ability to manipulate pages in a database. During a transaction, the pages
affected by the transaction are copied from the database file into a workspace, such as
volatile memory, and modified in that workspace. When a transaction is committed, all of
the pages that were modified by the transaction are written from the workspace to unused
pages in the database file. During execution of the transaction, the state of the database
exposed to the user is that in which the database existed prior to the transaction, since the
database file still contains the original versions of the modified pages, as they existed
before being copied into the workspace. If a user accesses the database before the
transaction is complete, or upon recovery of a failure, it will appear as though the
transaction has not occurred.

Abstract: By application of a voltage from a power source, a transfer roller carries out both transfers of (A) a first transfer for transferring a toner image on a photoreceptor to an intermediate transfer medium and (B) a second transfer for transferring overlapped color toner image on the intermediate transfer medium at once onto a recording sheet. A transfer voltage in accordance with, for example, a sheet thickness, as detected by sheet type detection of a sheet type detecting section is applied to the transfer roller in each stage. When the sheet type detecting section detects that the recording sheet is longer than a periphery of a fixing belt, a heater lamp is turned on in advance at any instant between a time when the recording sheet is brought into contact with the fixing roller and a time when the fixing roller completes one rotation, taking into consideration a time required for conduction of heat from the heater lamp to the fixing belt. As a result, it is possible to reduce ozone generated and make the device compact, and desirable transfer characteristics in accordance with a sheet type are obtained, thus realizing uniform fixing of an unfixed toner image onto the recording sheet, from the front end to the rear end.
