Abstract: A torque sensing apparatus (30) includes first and
second sensor elements (62, 70; 66, 74) which are
substantially diametrically opposed relative to a
central axis extending between the first and second
sensor elements. Each of the sensor elements (62, 70;

(34) that varies as a function of the relative position
between first and second parts of the respective sensor
elements. The electrical signals (34) of the first and
second sensor elements (62, 70; 66, 74) vary in inverse
relationship in response to non-rotational relative
movement between the first and second parts of the

thermosyphon (100). The two-phase thermosyphon
(100) includes a hermetically sealed housing (101)
including a first outer surface (107), a second outer
surface (109) opposite the first outer surface (107), a
first inner surface (111), and a second inner surface

Abstract: A code amount of each block of primary-coded bit streams
and a degree of complexity of image using quantization
coefficients, i.e., a degree of difficulty in coding are
calculated(S15). Then, recoding is performed by setting a

Abstract: In a compression seal system for a pneumatic engine,
the seal system comprises the following: a piston cylinder
20 having an inner wall within an innermost diameter,
a piston 22 positioned within a cylinder 20
and having an outer diameter which is less than the
innermost diameter of the cylinder 20. The piston 22
extends across the innermost diameter of the cylinder
20, so that only air is permitted between the inner
wall of the cylinder 20 and the outermost diameter of
the piston 22 as the piston 22 travels within the inner
wall of the cylinder 20. The system also comprises
a seal 10 including a cylindrical sleeve 12 having an
inside diameter conformal with an outside diameter of
a compression surface of the piston 22. The cylindrical
sleeve 12 has a radial base thereof complemental
to the compression surface of the piston 22 and a resilient
annular skirt 16 integrally dependent from the
sleeve 12 and a pulsating pneumatic input to the cylinder
20. Responsive to cyclically elevated air pressure
against the skirt 16, the skirt 16 forms an air
seal with inner wall of the piston cylinder 20 of the
pneumatic engine to move the piston 22. The innermost
diameter of the piston cylinder 20 defines a substantially
