Abstract: A gearshift apparatus (5) having a shift lever (7) is constructed so that the transmission stage can be set or changed by manual operation when the shift lever (7) is moved from a main gate (11) for an automatic transmission mode to a manual gate (13) for a manual transmission mode through a transit gate (12). The apparatus (5) comprises a detent unit (20) attached to the body of a vehicle. The unit (20) contains a moving member (21) for selection therein. The moving member (21) moves integrally with the shift lever (7) when the lever (7) moves in the transit gate (12). When the lever (7) moves in the main gate (11) or the manual gate (13), the moving member (21) never follows the motion of the lever (7). The detent unit (20) is provided with a retaining mechanism for producing a retaining force for retaining the shift lever (7) and a click feeling at either end of the transit gate (12) as the lever (7) moves along the transit gate (12). The shift lever (7) has a simple construction, although it is provided with all necessary functions for the change between the automatic and manual transmission modes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A temporary wet strength polymer and compositions for paper products, e.g., toilet tissue, is disclosed. The temporary wet strength polymer is the oxidation product of an esterified polyhydroxy polymer, more preferably of an esterified polysaccharide. The esterified polymer compound is formed by reacting the polyhydroxy polymer with a 1,2-disubstituted alkene compound that has at least one carboxylic acid group. The temporary wet strength polymer provides paper products having an initial wet strength that enables use of the product in the moistened condition, along with a suitable wet strength decay rate.

Abstract: A nitrocarburization treatment for steel components, such as steel balls or ball bearings is disclosed. In the process, the balls are treated in a nitrocarburizing environment and then reoriented, either inside or outside of that environment to form an epsilon iron nitride layer having some thickness over the entire surface of the ball and no bare spots. The reorientation process minimizes superficial metal flow at the surface of the balls and achieves consistent corrosion resistance of at least 96 hours in salt fog tests. Further, components that are cooled in a non-oxidizing environment and then reoriented prior to being returned to the nitrocarburizing environment develop a greater porous layer depth, which provides excellent oil retention for tribological applications.

Abstract: A method of reducing electromagnetic radiation through an opening for cables for an electronic device and a peripheral employs an electromagnetic radiation shield which is capable of effectively shielding electromagnetic radiation easily regardless of the number of cables and which can easily be attached and removed. A soft, electrically conductive electromagnetic radiation shield cloth (15) is disposed in fully covering relation to an opening (12) defined in a cabinet (11a) to allow cables (14) to be connected to terminals of an electronic device unit (11). The electrically conductive cloth (15) is attached in an electrically conductive fashion to the shielded cabinet (11a) so as to be openable and closable with respect to opening (12). The electrically conductive cloth (15) has a plurality of vertical slits (15a) defined therein for passage of the cables (14) therethrough, with a lower side of the electrically conductive cloth (15) being a free end. A plurality of electrically conductive cloths (15) may be superposed and attached, and the lower free end of the electrically conductive cloth (15) may have a vertical length long enough to wrap the cables (14) pass through the slits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method comprising the following steps: preparing in a vacuum a dry form (18) of an active principle, as well as a liquid (22), and drawing this liquid into the dry form, by the action of the vacuum to obtain an injectable preparation. The device comprises a gastight syringe (19) to condition under vacuum the dry form, a reservoir (12) containing the liquid (22) and a cap (29) forming a connector between the syringe and the liquid reservoir, the injection needle (25) of the syringe being driven into the septum (24) of the cap (29). The invention enables a preparation which is directly injectable by an automatic rehydration step to be obtained; indeed, after activation, the extemporaneous preparation is automatic since the device elements move by themselves under the action of the liquid which is drawn by suction into the volume under vacuum containing the solid formulation (18).

Abstract: A computer-based virtual instrumentation system including a host computer and an embedded system or device, wherein graphical programs created using the computer system can be downloaded to the embedded system for execution in a real-time or more deterministic manner. The present invention thus provides a method for automatically generating an embedded application in response to a graphical program created by a user. This provides the user the ability to develop or define instrument functionality using graphical programming techniques, while enabling the resulting program to operate in an embedded real-time system. The invention includes a novel method for configuring the embedded system. During execution of a graphical program in the embedded system, the block diagram portion executes in the embedded system, and the host CPU executes front panel display code to display on the screen the graphical front panel of the graphical program. The embedded system and the host computer exchange data using a front panel protocol to enable this operation. The present invention also includes improved debugging support for graphical programs executing on the embedded system. The host graphical programming system thus provides the user interface for graphical programs executing on the embedded system, essentially acting as the front panel "browser" for embedded applications. The host LabVIEW can also act as an independent application communicating with embedded LabVIEW through the shared memory. The host graphical programming system further provides a seamless environment in which the user can develop an embedded application using high level graphical programming techniques.

Abstract: Structural cables, for example those formed of a large number of wires and used in suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges, are monitored by acoustic sensors. Breakage of a wire forming part of the cable gives rise to an acoustic signal. The signal is recorded and its location is found from the relative times at which it arrives at two sensors. Where sensors are located at the cable anchorage or on bands along the length of a suspension bridge cable, they can also monitor slippage of wires relative to the band or cable anchorage. The system preferably uses high resistance sensors and shielded cable. The outputs of different sensors are distinguished by a multiplexing technique or by identifying signals. In another embodiment, sensors placed about the circumference of a cable record signals from wire breaks and the signals are plotted to determine the location of the broken wire within the cross section of the cable.
