Abstract: A pair of metallic conductors (31, 32) are arranged on the opposing portions disposed on the neutral axis (m) for bending within the cross section of a rubber tube (1), and are extended in the longitudinal direction thereof. A pair of belt-shaped electrodes (21, 22) made of conductive rubber material or other conductive materials and embedding the metallic conductors (31, 32) therein respectively, are disposed to oppose each other on the inner circumferential surface of the tube (1) with respect to the neutral axis (m) for bending. The electrodes (21, 22) extend in the longitudinal direction of the tube (1). Therefore, an erroneous operation of a cable switch at a part where the switch is bent is prevented, and furthermore the cable switch operates coping with a wide range of load application angles.

Abstract: The radiotelephone of a time-divided radiotelephone system, i.e. TDMA, has a first mode and a second mode, whereby in the first mode the transmitter (TX) is active and in the second mode the receiver (RX) is active. When the transmitter is on, the TX signal dependent on it controls switching means (V2) in such a way that in the first mode blocking is accomplished of at least one active signal path that is in the other mode. In this way the isolation between the transmitter and the receiver is improved. The switching means can comprise, for example, a transistor (V2), by means of which the collector of the transistor (V1) of the RX amplifier is connected substantially to the earth potential.

Title: Adjustable vehicle seat suspension
Inventor: HILL KEVIN E
IPC: B60N2/50
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: A suspension (32) for a vehicle seat (30) having a scissors arm linkage (34) with a load carrying flexible member (36) secured to a spring (38) and in operable communication with a cam-shaped pulley (40) carried by the linkage (34) for producing a suspension of compact structure, which enables seat height to be adjusted independently of weight adjustment, and which produces a suspension having desirable load-deflection characteristics. The suspension has a platform (42) for carrying the seat (30) which overlies the linkage and a base (44) underlying the linkage that supports the suspension and permits mounting to the floor. Weight adjustment of the suspension (32) is accomplished by tensioning the spring (38) without changing the distance between the platform (42) and base (44). Height adjustment is accomplished by moving the spring (38) and flexible member (36) in unison to controllably collapse or expand the linkage (34) thereby changing the distance between the platform and base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal gasket for
use in sealing the joint surfaces of the cylinder head and
the cylinder block of an internal combustion engine. The
metal gasket comprises a plural number of metal plates and
a rigid resin layer, each of said metal plates having
opening(s) corresponding to the combustion chamber hole(s)
of the gasket and bolt holes. The plural number of the
metal plates are laminated so as to be overlaid on each
other. The first metal plate disposed on the side of one
outer surface of the gasket has a bent portion formed by
turning back the peripheral portion of its opening, said
bent portion having a curved portion which defines the
combustion chamber hole and a flange portion. The bent
portion of the first metal plate encloses the peripheral
portion of the opening of one of the remaining metal plates
having a bead portion for surrounding the combustion
chamber hole. The annular rigid resin layer is disposed in
the recess of said bead portion and covered with other
metal plate. The thickness of a part of the gasket in
which the rigid resin layer is disposed is larger than that
of the remaining part of the gasket. The difference in
partial thickness of the gasket can be adjusted by the
thickness of the rigid resin layer. The rigid resin layer
is preferably a layer of a thermocured epoxy resin.

Abstract: A sample handling system comprising: a
transportation line including a combination of plural
partitive line units; and a plurality of handling units,
wherein each of the plural partitive line units and
each of the plurality of handling units form a pair,
and each handling unit is installed removably from its
corresponding partitive line unit. Each handling unit
transmits inoperative information to the
transportation line when it becomes inoperative. The
transportation line transmits this inoperative
information to the central controller. The central
controller monitors handling units at which the sample
rack can stop over. The sample rack avoids stopover at
the inoperative handling unit, but is allowed to advance
to the subsequent handling unit passing through the
partitive line unit which makes a pair with the
inoperative handling unit.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a switching element (120) or a matrix
(50) of switching elements includes providing a waveguide substrate (52; 150;
and 198) having at least two waveguides (62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78,
80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90 and 92; 108, 110, 112 and 114) that intersect at a
trench (94; 152 and 154; 200 and 202) such that optical coupling between
the waveguides is dependent upon the presence or absence of an index-matching
fluid at the intersection of the waveguides with the trench. Fluid is
supplied to the trench via a fluid fill-hole (57; 116 and 118; 148 and 188) that
extends through a heater substrate (53; 122; and 160) in a direction that is
generally perpendicular to a substrate surface on which at least one heater
(100 and 102; 132; and 170) is fabricated. In the preferred embodiment, the
fluid fill-hole is formed in a step of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactive
ion etching (RIE). The waveguide substrate having at least two waveguides
and the heater substrate having the heaters and the fill-hole are bonded
together after the substrates are aligned such that the trench is in fluid
communication with at least one fluid fill-hole and is in thermal communication
with at least one heater. Optical fibers (96) are then coupled to the
waveguides. Preferably, a structurally weakened edge portion (158 and 196)
is formed during the ICP RIE step so that the edge portion can be removed
after the two substrates are bonded, allowing uninhibited access of the optical
fibers to the waveguides.

Abstract: The seat post comprises an outer tube 11, for sliding into a bicycle frame
tube, and an inner seat support 19 that is slidably carried in the outer tube
on a spring 20. The outer tube has an annular flange in which are formed
four screw threaded cavities that communicate with the interior of the outer
tube. The four cavities are positioned at 90 degree increments around the
tube in a cross formation. Each cavity receives a grub screw, for example
28 and 30, that abuts against the support 19 to minimise lateral and twisting
movement of the support whilst still allowing it to slide vertically. Locking
grub screws, for example 32 and 34, are also provided to lock the grub
screws 28, 30 in position. To further prevent rotation, the support 19 may
comprise a non - circular section that slides in a correspondingly shaped
part of the outer tube or it may comprise a longitudinal slot which receives
a projection from the outer tube. The inner surface of the outer tube may be
tapered to accommodate the lateral expansion of the spring under axial
compression. A tie rod 23 extends through an axial cavity in the support
and the outer tube and is held in place by cirdips, for example 25, that locate
in annular grooves. The spring 20 may be replaced with a spring of different
rating to accommodate for users of different weight.
