Abstract: A vacuum pump and an installation method for an air
conditioner are provided, whereby, the installation of an
air conditioner can be performed readily in a short period
of time, whilst restricting harmful effects on the
environment. The interior of a cylinder (15) is divided
into two chambers by a piston (16), and intake ports (20)
and exhaust ports (19) are provided, these intake ports and
exhaust ports having non-return valves installed
respectively at the top dead center and the bottom dead
center of these two chambers of the cylinder. When the
piston (16) is caused to move in either direction, then if
the respective exhaust ports (19) are connected together,
the air inside the cylinder is exhausted, thereby causing
the exhaust port (19) side in the cylinder to assume a
pressurized state, and if the intake ports (20) are coupled,
then the intake ports (20) in the cylinder are caused to
assume a negative pressure state.

Inventor: SIEBER PAUL R
IPC: F16D65/14

Abstract: A drive axle assembly includes a supplemental brake force assembly that utilizes
a variable viscosity fluid (30). The assembly includes a housing defining a cavity (24) and a drive
component (26) mounted for rotation relative to the housing. Rotating plates are mounted for
rotation with the drive component and a rheological fluid is enclosed within the housing
to surround the rotating plates. A current source (44) generates current within the fluid to
vary the viscosity. At higher traveling speeds, no current is applied to the fluid so the
viscosity of the fluid is low, which reduces drag against the rotating plate. However,
when a braking even occurs, current is applied to the fluid to increase viscosity and
generate a supplemental braking force. The assembly is preferably incorporated into a
wet disc brake with a plurality of non-rotating plates positioned in an alternating
dispersal between the rotating plates. A brake actuator (48) compresses the non-rotating and
rotating plates together to generate a primary braking force in addition to the
supplemental braking force. Fins (112) are formed on the external surface of the housing to
dissipate heat generated during braking.

Abstract: Although MIM (metal injection molding) has received widespread application,
aluminum has not been widely used for MIM in the prior art because of the tough
oxide layer that grows on aluminum particles, thus preventing metal-metal
bonding between the particles. The present invention solves this problem by
adding a small amount of material that forms a eutectic mixture with aluminum
oxide, and therefore aids sintering, to reduce the oxide, thereby allowing intimate
contact between aluminum surfaces. The process includes the ability to mold and
then sinter the feedstock into the form of compacted items of intricate shapes,
small sizes (if needed), and densities of about 95% of bulk.

Abstract: When copying corporate business data, etc., it is desired to execute data management excellent in security protection by preventing violation of rules or leaking out of secret information attributed to wrong operation of an administrator. 
     For this purpose, in a data processing method, for each storage area such as a volume in a storage device or a logical volume, a possible data arrangement range of data included in such storage area is stored. In addition, range information is defined for a copy-destination storage area. Then, when copying data in a storage area, a judgment is made as to whether or not the range information of the copy-destination storage area is within the possible data arrangement area of the data. If the range information is within the possible data arrangement area, copying will be executed. If the range information is not within the possible arrangement area, the copy processing will not be initiated.
