Abstract: An orthopaedic brace includes an upper strut pivotally connected with a lower strut by a
range of motion hinge. The range of motion hinge can be axially actuated to adjust or to
set the angular range of motion of the hinge and therefore of the brace. A stop pin carried
by an adjustment knob of the hinge assembly can be positioned in any of a plurality of
settings corresponding to various ranges of motion for the hinge. The stop pin/adjustment
knob is axially and rotatably movable to set a range of flexion and/or extension motion.

Abstract: A method and device are provided which allow easy and reliable
prediction of abnormality of a solenoid valve 1 before failure by detecting
operating times of the solenoid valve 1 and discriminating, from the operating
times, whether the changeover operation thereof is normal or abnormal. To
achieve this, the position of a spool 6 at a stroke end is detected by position
detecting means 11 connected to the solenoid valve 1. The movement
starting time from the time point when the driving signal for the solenoid valve
1 is turned on or turned off to the time point when the valve member begins to
move from the stroke end, and the movement completion time therefrom to
the time point when the spool 6 arrives at the stroke end, are measured in a
signal processing circuit 12 from the detected position signal and a clock
signal. The signal processing circuit 12 discriminates whether the changeover
operation of the valve member is normal or abnormal by comparing these
operating times with a plurality of standard values previously inputted in the
signal processing circuit 12. A display signal is output in response to the
discrimination result.

Abstract: A shape data specifies the shape of an elongated product
within an overall coordinate system. Local coordinate systems
are defined on respective cross-sections of the elongated
product in the overall coordinate system. The local coordinate
system is designed to represent a stable die of a bending
apparatus. The images of the elongated product protruding
forward from the stable die within the respective local
coordinate systems serve to specify the position of a movable
die of the bending apparatus. The specified position reflects
the deformation induced in the elongated product between the
stable and movable dies. An ideal movement amount of the
movable die can be determined based on the determined positions
within the local coordinate systems. The determined movement
amount can be utilized to prepare the control data for the
bending apparatus. When the prepared control data is supplied
to the bending apparatus, an ideal movement of the movable die
can be achieved so as to effect bending on the elongated
workpiece at a higher accuracy in accordance with the shape
data.

Abstract: In the distributed enterprise application integration system, modularized components located on multiple hosts are centrally managed so as to facilitate communication among application programs. Collaboration services traditionally associated with a central server, such as, for example, message queues, message publishers/subscribers, and message processes, are instead distributed to multiple hosts and monitored by a central registry service. This system allow configuration management to be performed in a central location using a top-level approach, while implementation and execution tasks are distributed and delegated to various components that communicate with the applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to the purification of untreated water which is polluted with dissolved organic carbon compounds which can be biologically or adsorptively removed in a three-step process, whereby the upstream purification step is predominantly biological, i.e. operates as a biofilter (1), and both subsequent purification steps are predominantly adsorptive in nature, i.e. operate as adsorbers (2, 3). The biofilter (1) is purified by backwashing, whereby the backwashing periods occur according to the TOC determined between the biofilter (1) and the upstream adsorber (2) and/or running time and/or pressure loss. The upstream adsorber (2) is also cleaned by backwashing and is subsequently shifted into a downstream position alternating with the other adsorber (3). The method is suitable for obtaining TOC concentrations in treated water of less than 500 ppb.

Abstract: Gas turbine blade ring is cooled by steam of which temperature,
pressure and flow rate are controlled so that clearance between
moving blade tip and blade ring is maintained appropriately. Steam
from steam turbine bottoming cycle (10) flows into blade ring
cooling passage (8) of gas turbine (1) via piping (12) for cooling
blade ring. The steam having cooled the blade ring is supplied
into transition piece cooling passage (9) of combustor (3) for
cooling transition piece and is then recovered into the steam
turbine bottoming cycle (10) via piping (14). While the steam cools
the blade ring, temperature, pressure and flow rate of the steam
are controlled so that thermal elongation of the blade ring is
adjusted and the clearance at the moving blade tip is controlled so
as to approach target value. Thus, the clearance is maintained as
small as possible in operation and gas turbine performance is
enhanced.

An Independent claim is also included for a device for receiving a first medium. Preferred Features: The capillary device is a pipette. The critical pressure in the capillary device is determined by the formula: P = 2.S/r, where: S = the surface tension produced by the first medium in the capillary device when the first medium has been completely received by the capillary device; and r = the radius of the capillary device. The first medium is a liquid and the second medium is a gas, or the first medium is a gas and the second medium is a liquid.
