Abstract: An expansion valve (40) includes a valve body (41), an adjusting mechanism (46) for adjusting a flow rate of a refrigerant supplied to an evaporator (5) and a control mechanism (54) for controlling the adjusting mechanism (46) in accordance with a temperature of the refrigerant supplied to a compressor (1) from the evaporator (5). The body (41) has a first passage (42) for introducing the refrigerant to the body (41), a second passage (43) for supplying the refrigerant from the first passage (42) to the evaporator (5) and a third passage (44) for transferring the refrigerant to the compressor (1) from the evaporator (5). The adjusting mechanism (46) has a restriction (47a) for connecting the first passage (42) with the second passage (43) and a valve member (48) for adjusting a degree of the restriction (47a). The control mechanism (54) has a heat sensitive chamber (61) filled with the gas in a sealing manner and a diaphragm (57) movable in accordance with pressure in the sensitive chamber (61). A transmitting member (65) transmits the temperature of the refrigerant flowing in the third passage (44) to the gas in the sensitive chamber (61) and the movement of the diaphragm (57) to the valve member (48). The body (41) is made of a synthetic resin. A metal member (47) is disposed in the body (41) between the first passage (42) and the second passage (43). The metal member (47) has the restriction (47a) and a valve seat (50) for contacting the valve member (48). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital library of fabric models is created, preferably including digitized full-color images (74) and having associated a digital representation of positions that are located within and which characterize the models (75). A user may navigate among the set of alternative models, and may modify the positions of the selected models to test out desired combinations of characteristics -- such as poms or yarn ends, for models of floor coverings (79) -- and view the results. The present invention also provides for substituting colors in digital images of photographic quality, while preserving their realism. The resulting designs can be stored and transmitted to a central facility that can either generate images of the samples, or can directly generate actual samples of the carpet.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a monolithic honeycomb
structure product involves shaping a first mixture of raw
materials and a binder into a green honeycomb (36), extruding a
second mixture of raw materials and a binder into one or
more green members (20) that each define an opening extending
longitudinally therethrough. The raw materials of the
second mixture are compatible with the raw materials of
the first mixture. The green honeycomb (36) and member(s) (20) are
dried. The binders of the green honeycomb (36) and member(s) (20)
are softened at the surfaces (20a) that are to be bonded. The
green member(s) (20) is inserted into the honeycomb (36) and bonded
to the honeycomb to form an assembly thereof, which is
then dried and fired to form a unified monolithic
honeycomb structure. The insertion is best carried out by
mounting a member (20) in the shape of a tube on a mandrel (10), and
inserting the mandrel (10) into the honeycomb opening (28) to bond
the tube (20) to the honeycomb (36).

Abstract: An apparatus for performing a laser myocardial revascularization of a human heart comprises a hand-held device with an elongated flexible lasing assembly including an axially movable fiber bundle which can be placed into the chest cavity of a patient. At the distal head end of the device laser energy from the distal end of the fiber bundle is initially reduced to form a relatively small opening in the epicardium of the heart. The fiber bundle is moved through the opening so that lasing with full laser power takes place beneath the epicardium to form a larger channel through the myocardium that extends into the left ventricular cavity. After the channel has been formed, the optical fiber bundle is retracted from the channel and back through the small epicardium opening so as to minimize operative bleeding and allow sealing of the epicardium after the apparatus is removed.

Abstract: Mobile stations like handsets could cause disturbance at electronic equipment,
thereby endangering human lifes, and that's why the use of them sometimes at certain
places is not allowed, for example inside planes during parts of a flight and inside
hospitals. To prevent being dependent upon the user's decency, the possible use of the
output of said handset could be deactivated by transmitting a deactivation signal from
a base station to the handset, which deactivation signal either only deactivates said use
for a predefined time-interval, or deactivates said use all the time until an activation
signal originating from said base station has been received by said handset.
