Abstract: An optical fiber connector optically connects a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber. The optical fiber connector includes a plug the retains and selectively aligns the first optical fiber, a receptacle that retains and selectively aligns the second optical fiber, and means for forcing the first optical fiber against the second optical fiber. The plug of the optical fiber connector is inserted into the receptacle in order to contact the first optical fiber to the second optical fiber. The force created at the point of contact of the fibers by the means for forcing is in excess of the bending stress of the optical fibers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the operation processes of two-stroke engines. A two-stroke engine uses a slide valve (10) so that the inlet-outlet channel (9) connected to the exhaust manifold (18) may be connected to the inlet pipe after the outlet of exhaust gases from the cylinder (4). A fresh load is then introduced into the cylinder (4) simultaneously through a bleed window (6) connected to the crankshaft housing (2) by a bleed channel, and through an inlet-outlet window (8) connected to the inlet pipe. The crankshaft housing (2) is filled when the piston (5) moves from the bottom dead centre after the window (8) is opened at its lower edge. Practically continuous feeding of fresh loads into a single-cylinder engine can thus be achieved. The increase in the time-section ratio of the gas distribution organs ensures maximum filling of the cylinder (4) while reducing the time therefor and the losses to a minimum. The heat, which is emitted at the surface of the hottest parts after the outlet, is instantaneously eliminated by the cold fresh loads passing therethrough. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions comprising heme-containing components and to methods that stimulate erythropoiesis comprising administration of a composition of the invention, such as purified hemoglobin. Surprisingly, heme-containing components such as hemoglobin can induce erythropoiesis in the presence of decreased concentrations of erythropoietin (Epo) and, in fact, functions synergistically with Epo. Further, heme-containing components can be used alone or in conjunction with Epo for the treatment of anemias and other disorders due to decreases in erythropoietin or iron. It has been discovered that, in the presence of Epo, both hemoglobin and cross-linked hemoglobin can compensate for the reduction in erythroid cell growth and differentiation that occurs in the presence of reduced concentrations of Epo. The effect is specific to erythropoiesis, as evidenced by a lack of growth of non-erythroid progenitors such as CFU-GM.

Abstract: An air-ride beam-type axle suspension system for tractor-trailers and other heavy-duty wheeled vehicles having a brake chamber of an air brake assembly mounted on the beam, wherein the beam is tapered. Specifically, each beam of the axle suspension system tapers from a narrower width at its end that is pivotally attached to a frame rail of the trailer, to a wider width at its opposite end. The tapered beam provides easier mounting of the suspension system on existing trailer frame rails and incorporation of a reduced-size pivot bushing at the narrower end of the beam, and optimizes the weight of the axle suspension system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système se composant de guides et de déflecteur géométriques conçus pour diriger et diffuser l'air extérieur aspiré par un ventilateur de soufflage avant la répartition homogène du flux par la sortie d'une unité de filtrage à soufflerie. Ledit agencement permet non seulement de réduire les turbulences à l'intérieur d'une unité de filtrage à soufflerie mais également d'assurer le comptage de particules dans le même système. De plus, l'appareil de l'invention présente des dimensions sensiblement similaires à celle du ventilateur soufflant. Ainsi, on réduit le bruit produit par une unité de filtre à soufflerie, même dans une installation confinée de salle blanche.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle association correspondant à un nouveau mode de verrouillage et de déverrouillage d'un dispositif de réglage destiné à une prothèse de jambe ou de bras. Cette nouvelle association permet de régler la prothèse sans nécessiter le démontage de la prothèse ou sans qu'un utilisateur ne doive la retirer. Le travail est facilité par le réglage de la position de translation et de la position angulaire et le dispositif de réglage offre un degré de liberté supplémentaire, notamment un réglage distal. Cette nouvelle association comprend un anneau de verrouillage (40) sur la tête de réglage. Cet anneau de verrouillage permet de verrouiller de façon stable et ajustable la tête de réglage contre le manchon de couplage (50) posé sur le moignon tout en fixant la prothèse dans la position de translation. L'anneau de verrouillage (40) permet également un réglage ajustable et stable de la longueur distale de la prothèse, ce qui facilite beaucoup le réglage fin de la longueur de la prothèse puisqu'il n'est pas nécessaire de la démonter pour réaliser ce réglage de la longueur distale. Le réglage angulaire est réalisé à l'aide d'un pivot d'adaptateur pyramidal (23) placé dans la partie supérieure ou dans la partie inférieure de la tête de réglage. Les vis de réglage inclinées correspondant aux faces inclinées du pivot d'adaptateur pyramidal sont placées dans la partie supérieure ou dans la partie inférieure correspondante de la tête de réglage. Cet agencement permet ainsi de diviser de façon simple la tête de réglage en deux parties.
