Patent EP-0627948-A1 (EP)
Title: Skate brake
Inventor: WALIN RICHARD D
IPC: A63C17/14
Filed: 1993-02-25
Abstract: A skate and skate brake which allows a user to brake the skate smoothly and evenly without catching on a ground surface utilizes a rotatable assembly having a resilient outer circumferential member attached to a relatively hard inner hub, the rotatable assembly brakes the skate by rotating with a rotational friction greater than that of the average rotational friction of the skate wheels. The rotational friction of the rotatable assembly is controlled by locating a non-rotating brake pad in physical contact with the inner hub. The amount of rotational friction can be increase by urging the brake pads against an annular portion of the inner hub and by positioning the brake pads within an interior recess inside the inner hub so that an increase in the downward force that the user applies to the brake increases the force by which the inner hub of the rotatable assembly is urged against the brake pads. A method for braking a skate includes the steps of pivoting the skate about a wheel, rotating a rotatable assembly in contact with a ground surface while applying friction to the rotation of the rotatable assembly by urging a non-rotating brake pad against a relatively hard interior surface of the rotating rotatable assembly.

Abstract: Bloc moteur (10) à combustion interne possédant un canal périphérique (34) situé entre le bloc de culasse (10) et une chemise de cylindre (14), entourant la zone de la chambre de combustion à température élevée du moteur et contigu à celle-ci, vers laquelle l'écoulement du liquide de refroidissement est dévié du courant principal de liquide de refroidissement, de façon à refroidir uniformément et efficacement cette zone critique de la chemise. L'écoulement à vitesse élevée du courant principal de liquide de refroidissement, lorsqu'il passe l'extrémité de la chemise de cylindre contiguë à la chambre de combustion, crée une chute de pression au niveau de l'orifice reliant l'extrémité de sortie du canal périphérique au courant principal de liquide de refroidissement. Des ouvertures d'entrée (36) du canal situées en amont au niveau de régions relativement stagnantes de l'écoulement principal de liquide de refrodissement, se trouvent sous une chute de pression supérieure par rapport à celle de l'orifice de sortie (38) du canal, ce qui provoque un écoulement à vitesse élevée dans ce dernier.

Abstract: A cover plate (AB) serves as load pick-up for placing loads to be weighed and is supported via load corners (LE). These have a base plate (BP), to which, according to the invention, at least one vertically arranged bolt (SS1,SS2;SS) with a countersunk head (SK1,SK2;SK) is connected. The bolt is preferably designed as a countersunk screw and connected to the base plate (BP) by means of a threaded bore (B1,B2). The countersunk head (SK1,SK2;SK) of bolt or countersunk screw engages in the head plate (KP) in a conical countersink (KS1,KS2;KS). This arrangement has the advantage that the functions of horizontal swing limiting, lifting security and self-centring can be implemented at the same time with the aid of the at least one bolt or of the countersunk screws (SS1,SS2;SS) as a single component. As a further special advantage, there results an especially low profile (H), exclusively dependent on the height of the weighing cell (WZ) between base plate and head plate (BP,KP), for the load corners (LE) of the platform balance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A deformation produced by heat when a G1 grid is welded can be suppressed. A U-shaped slit (34) is formed on an outer peripheral wall (31) of a G1 grid (12). A spot-welding portion (X) is set to an end edge of a joint portion of the U-shaped slit (34) and this spot-welding portion (X) is spot-welded to a retainer (22) of a cathode (21) by a laser beam. In the G1 grid (12), the deformation produced by heat upon welding is absorbed by the surrounding portions of the slit (34). Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent the opposing surface opposing a G2 grid (13) from being expanded by heat. Thus, the spacing between the electrodes can be maintained to be a proper one and the angles of the electron beam emitting apertures can be maintained at proper ones. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent the characteristic of the electron gun and the resolution of the cathode ray tube from being deteriorated.

Abstract: Despite its potency and broad spectrum antibacterial activity, the therapeutic effectiveness of ciprofloxacin is limited in that it has a short elimination half-life and its potency against some bacteria may be compromised by the ability of some intracellular bacteria to reside and multiply within the human host cells where they are protected from the antibiotic. These problems can be solved by encapsulating the antibiotic within the microscopic lipid vesicles called liposomes, which protect the drug from dilution and elimination from the body. Moreover, the liposome-encapsulated antibiotic is naturally taken up by phagocytic cells which results in the delivery of the drug to intracellular sites of infection.

Abstract: A circuit for applying a direct current to a winding. One end of a primary winding (T 3a ) of a transformer (T₃) is connected to a first transistor (Q₁) via a resistor (R₁). The other end of the primary winding (T 3a ) is connected to a second transistor (Q₂). The first and second transistors (Q₁, Q₂) constitute a current mirror circuit (10). By by-passing through a capacitor (C₂), no alternating current flows in the first transistor (Q₁). The primary winding (T 3a ) of the transformer (T₃) includes a center tap (T 3b ) and an AC/DC superimposed signal is input to the primary winding (T 3a ) via the center tap (T 3b ). In the primary winding (T 3a ), DC components flow so as to mutually negate DC-magnetization. As a result, there is no need to provide a gap in a magnetization circuit and the construction of the whole circuit including the transformer (T₃) can be miniaturized with improved characteristics.
