Abstract: An article of footwear having a ventilated sole (1), the sole being formed of a substantially impermeable resilient material and having internally an air reservoir arrangement (2/3) connected to the interior of the footwear via perforations (9), each of which has along its length a relatively wide region (9A) open to the interior of the footwear and a relatively narrow region (9B) connecting the relatively wide region (9A) to the air reservoir arrangement (2/3). The sole has a ventilation arrangement (4/5/8) serving for venting the air reservoir arrangement (2/3) externally of the footwear. The sequential compression, during the wearer's step, of reservoir chambers (2A, 2B and 2C), and the interconnecting ducts (3), in combination with the synchronous sequential occlusion of the perforations (9) by the wearer's foot, restricts or prevents back-flow of moisture laden air within the sole.

Abstract: Successive sections of a computer program of a user interactive system are carried out. A user presents successive verbal items such as answers, to verbal items such as questions presented by the system. Each question corresponds to a respective program section. The user item is recognized and a next machine item is presented, if possible and appropriate. The recognizing is evaluated, and on the basis of the evaluating a progress score is kept. If the progress score attains a particular level, the system enables an operator to intervene in the dialogue in an unobtrusive manner. If a plurality of dialogs are supervised in parallel, the enabling is on the basis of a progress ranking among the dialogs. The intervention may be realized by emulating a user item in the form of speech or in the form of a mechanically entered user item.

Abstract: A method for trans-myocardial revascularization of the heart of a patient includes positioning an active electrode surface (82) close proximity to a target site on the wall of a patient's heart, and applying high frequency voltage between the active voltage surface (82) and a return electrode (56) to ablate tissue at the heart wall. The high frequency voltage ablates, i.e., volumetrically removes the heart tissue, and the electrode surface (82) is axially translated into the space vacated by the removed tissue to bore a channel through the heart tissue. The active electrode surface (82) may be introduced into the thoracic cavity and placed adjacent the epicardium to form an inward channel toward the ventricular cavity of the heart and positioned adjacent the endocardium to form a channel extending outward towards the epicardium. In either case, the channels formed through the myocardium promote direct communication between blood with the ventricular cavity and that of existing myocardial vasculature to increase blood flow to the heart tissue. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A centralizer for the stem of a cementable prosthetic orthopedic implant that is implanted into the medullary canal of a bone has a hollow annular body with a tapered interior surface for receiving a tapered stem of the implant. The centralizer has four fins spaced around the exterior surface of its annular body with the fins extending radially outwardly in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis extending along the stem in a proximal-distal direction. The annular body of the centralizer has a proximal and a distal end surface spaced a predetermined distance apart with the fins having a base adjacent the body extending over a substantial portion of the predetermined distance. Adjacent fins are offset from neighboring fins in a proximal-distal direction so that when the proximal-distal dimension of the annular body is maintained, it generates a wavelike structure for the centralizer body.

Abstract: A multiple axle trailer is disclosed consisting of a main chassis articulated to a tractor unit and a sub-chassis relative to which the main chassis rotates on a turntable. The sub-chassis has a pair of forward wheel (3) and pair of rear wheels (4), each of which rotates on a stub axle and king pin assembly (6). A steering mounting has two swinging arms depending from the main chassis, joined at their free ends by a horizontal tie. A primary link of a linkage mechanism is coupled to the horizontal tie, the linkage mechanism coupling the wheels to the steering mounting such that rotation of the main chassis relative to the sub-chassis causes the stub axles to pivot about the king pins. Movement of the swinging arms causes the line of action of the primary link to cross the axis about which the main chassis rotates relative to the sub-chassis, reversing the direction of steer for when the trailer is backed up.

Abstract: A method and a device for image registration of the external characteristics and the number plate of a vehicle in a road toll unit for checking the payment status relating to a toll fee, which is intended to be collected by means of remote communication. During the checking and payment operation, the vehicle is followed by successive video recordings. In these recordings, a marker is connected to the vehicle. The same marker is connected to the image of the number plate and to an image of the physical shape of the vehicle. In the event of incorrect payment, a search may be performed based upon both the image of the number plate and the associated image of the physical shape of the vehicle, which are connected together by means of the successive following of the position of the vehicle. The class of the vehicle may thus be determined, in accordance with a classification scheme based on the physical properties of the vehicle, from the image of the external characteristics of the vehicle for determining the toll fee.

Abstract: A self-closing cap (1) for the fuel filler neck of a vehicle is provided which is particularly adapted for use with an automatic gas filling machine. The cap comprises a closure ring (3) having an annular body (15) and screw threads (13) or bayonet lugs for detachably mounting the periphery of the annular body around the open end of the filler neck, and a closure flap assembly (5) formed from a circular member (33) with a nozzle receiving opening (34), a closure flap spring (61) biased over the opening, and a pivotal mounting (53) connecting the flap over the opening. The closure flap assembly includes a locking ratchet mechanism (21) for securing the circular member over the closure ring in a selected angular position such that the pivotal mounting is substantially 180 DEG  opposite from the pivotal connection of the restrictive flap within a filler neck of a vehicle to allow a fuel nozzle from an automatic gas filling machine to be smoothly inserted into and withdrawn from the self-closing cap. The cap has a cover (7) that snap-fits over the closure flap assembly. The top wall (81) of the cover serves as an inclined guide face for guiding the nozzle of an automatic gas filling machine into the opening of the closure flap assembly. An overpressure valve assembly (101) is incorporated into the circular member (33) for releasing vapor and gases from the vehicle fuel tank when the pressure in the tank approaches a tank-rupturing level. <IMAGE>
