Abstract: A device for applying a ventrally or dorsally directed translatory force onto a lower leg in the area of the knee joint includes a thigh bar and a lower leg bar device having a shorter and a longer bar arm. Both bar arms can be freely swiveled relative to the thigh bar. The two bar arms are disposed in such a manner that they can be swiveled relative to each other. A pretension of a spring device between the shorter and the longer bar arm has the effect that the bar arms are urged to carry out a swiveling motion relative to each other, thereby applying a ventrally or dorsally directed translatory force onto a lower leg fixation device in an area close to the knee.

Abstract: A handle (30) operates an automotive door opening and closing mechanism, which has a lock cylinder (60) and key. The handle operation is via a lever (30) and rotation of the lock cylinder (60) action transfer to a pick-up (45). The pick-up (45) action is transferred to the lever (30) by a pushrod (50). The lever (30) has an adjustable bearing position (31, 11) which is determined by the pushrod (50) with respect to the lock cylinder (60) rotational position. The arrangement alters the lever operating ratios relative to a connector (40) to the lock.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for scheduling in a mobile communication system where data of priority flows is transmitted by mobile terminals via dedicated uplink channels to a base station. Each mobile terminal transmits at least data of one priority flow via one of the dedicated uplink channels. Moreover, the invention relates to a base station for scheduling priority flows transmitted by mobile terminals via dedicated uplink channels to the base station. Further, a mobile terminal transmitting at least data of one priority flow via a dedicated uplink channel to a base station is provided. In order to optimize base station controlled-scheduling functions in a mobile communication system the invention proposes to provide the scheduling base station with QoS requirements of individual priority flows transmitted via an uplink dedicated channel and to adapt the mobile terminals to indicate the priority flows of which data is to be transmitted to the base stations for scheduling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an environmental refrigerant instead of R502. The present refrigerant is comprised of fluoroethane (HFC-161), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) and trifluoromethane (HFC-143a). Preferably, the refrigerant consists of 1%-30% of HFC-161m 35%-65% of HFC-125 and 5-64% of HFC-143a. The refrigerant has zero ODP, has no damage to ozonosphere, its GWP is substantially smaller than R502 and currently primary replacement R404A, and conforms to environmental protection. Working pressure and reduction ratio of said refrigerant are similar to R502. Without altering main parts in system, thermo-working properties such as refrigeration capacities and discharge temperature are superior than R502, therefore said refrigerant can long-term replace for R502, and reduce filling-mount.
