Abstract: A rotary head structure of a lawn sprinkling seat, including a base seat, a sprinkling head and a T-shaped locking body.  The base seat is formed with a central water-outgoing connector.  The sprinkling head has three radially extending water-outgoing passages spaced by equal angle and an insertion post on bottom face for fitting into the locking body which is screwed into the water-outgoing connector of the base seat.  The water is conducted from the base seat to the sprinkling head to flow out from the water-outgoing passages thereof.  A free end of each water-outgoing passage is formed with a large diameter hole having a conic peripheral wall for receiving a valve post of a hollow ball valve.  The valve post of the ball valve is first passed through a tapered opening of a cylindrical valve sleeve and then fitted into the large diameter hole of the water-outgoing passage and fused therewith by ultrasonic wave.  The tapered opening of the valve sleeve has an inclined outer peripheral wall face and an inner peripheral wall face for snugly slidably abutting against the spherical face of the ball valve for angle adjustment thereof.  The other end of the valve sleeve is screwed with a threaded neck portion of a cylindrical sprinkling sleeve formed with multiple sprinkling holes by different angles.  The end of the sprinkling sleeve is formed with an inclined inner face for snugly contacting with the spherical face of the ball valve to complete the assembly.

Abstract: Une soudure à deux découpes obliques permet de joindre des bandes devant être unies pour former un tube spiralé. On forme ce tube à partir de première (15a) et deuxième (15b) bandes, de même largeur. Sur une extrémité de la première bande, on forme une surface terminale plane (Pa). De la même manière, on forme sur une extrémité de la deuxième bande, une surface terminale plane (Pb). On forme une bande composite en soudant la surface terminale plane de la première bande sur la surface terminale plane de la deuxième bande pour former une soudure à deux découpes obliques. On élimine ensuite le surplus de l'ensemble soudé des surfaces supérieures, inférieures et de bord de la bande composite de sorte que la largeur de la soudure corresponde exactement à la largeur des première et deuxième bandes. On peut ensuite former le tube métallique spiralé à partir de cette bande composite.

Title: Atomized liquid dispenser
Inventor: ALBINI GIOVANNI
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 1996-06-11
Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: An atomized liquid dispenser, comprising a pump and a dispensing head mounted on the stem of the pump, the head defining a chamber communicating with the stem and housing a movable piston urged by a spring to close a discharge nozzle provided at one end of the chamber. From the head there extends a skirt in which cuts are provided which define a flexible tang engaging one end of said piston projecting from said chamber.  From the inner surface of the tang there projects a cam which, when the pump is operated, interferes with the pump or with an element rigid with it, to cause the tang to flex outwards and axially entrain the piston, so withdrawing it from the discharge nozzle.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une chaîne de traction destinée à être montée sur la bande de roulement d'une roue de véhicule, et plus spécifiquement de la roue d'un véhicule lourd tel qu'une débusqueuse. Cette chaîne comprend une pluralité d'anneaux ronds répartis de façon régulière et de telle sorte que chaque anneau soit disposé à une même distance de tous les autres anneaux qui lui sont les plus proches. Cette chaîne comprend aussi une pluralité de maillons montés de façon libre sur les anneaux pour relier chacun de ceux-ci à ceux qui lui sont les plus proches. Chaque maillon est constitué d'une pièce de métal de section rectangulaire sensiblement constante ayant une largeur très supérieure à son épaisseur. Cette pièce forme une boucle aplatie dans laquelle sont librement montés les anneaux. Cette boucle a des faces supérieure et inférieure qui sont planes et s'étendent dans des plans sensiblement parallèles à ceux dans lesquels s'étendent les anneaux adjacents. Cette boucle a aussi des extrémités opposées qui ont la même largeur que les faces supérieure et inférieure et ont chacun une surface interne arrondie selon un rayon de courbure identique ou légèrement inférieur au rayon des anneaux. Grâce à la forme de ses maillons plats qui peuvent être pourvus de crampons si cela est nécessaire, cette chaîne de traction est non seulement très efficacemais très résistante. En fait, sa durée d'utilisation est presque le double de celle des chaînes existantes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detection of missing pulses from a repetitive pulse train including signal detection circuits for capturing the rising and/or falling edges of an input signal, time-stamping the captured edges, calculating the maximum and minimum instantaneous frequency over a specified time period, and displaying such frequency values. Instantaneous frequency values between any two adjacent edges are calculated based upon the time-stamps of the edges. The instantaneous frequency values in a specified time period are then sorted to find the minimum and maximum frequency values for that time period.      These instantaneous frequency values are displayed in the form of a histogram evidencing the occurrence or lack of occurrence of missing pulses from the input signal.

Title: Prioritized rule based method and apparatus for diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias
Inventor: OLSON WALTER H
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 1996-03-26
Granted: 2001-10-30
Abstract: An implantable antiarrhythmia device which detects and classifies arrhythmias of the human heart, and delivers appropriate therapy. The device employs a method of arrhythmia classification based on a set of prioritized rules, each of the rules defining a plurality of criteria based upon characteristics of sensed depolarizations of heart tissue, each rule being met when the criteria associated with the rule are met. Some rules, when met, trigger delivery of antiarrhythmia therapy. Other rules, when met, inhibit delivery of antiarrhythmia therapy. The rules may be met simultaneously, and if so, the highest priority rule governs the behavior of the device.

Title: Flexible contour wheelchair backrest
Inventor: VALIQUETTE CLAUDE
IPC: A61G5/12
Filed: 1998-04-03
Granted: 2004-06-01
Abstract: The flexible contour wheelchair backrest comprises two side posts, and a flexible backrest body extending between the two side posts.    The flexible backrest body comprises a plurality of transversally extending and vertically spaced apart flexible straps each interconnecting the two side posts and each having an adjustable length, and a plurality of substantially stiff and malleable stays intersecting at least one of the flexible straps at right angle. Each side post defines an elongated curved front face for receiving the flexible backrest body. This elongated curved front face has a forwardly bulging section for inducing a depth dimension to the flexible backrest body to fit the posterior lateral contour of a user's back and thereby provide lateral support to the user's trunk. A mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the forwardly bulging sections of the elongated curved front faces. In operation, the contour of the backrest body can be adapted to the posterior lateral contour of a user's back by adjusting the distance between the forwardly bulging sections, the length of the straps, and the shape of the stays.
