Abstract: Provided in a chamber (5) formed between a cutter disk (3) and a partition (2) is an open tank (10) serving also as a hopper for collecting earth and sand (27) which are excavated by the cutter disk (3), and provided on the open tank (10) are a supply pipe (14) and a suction pipe (18) such that the supply pipe (14) supplies a conveying fluid consisting mainly of water, and the water is sucked together with earth and sand collected by the suction pipe (18) to be discharged rearward. The supply pipe (14) constitutes a part of a conveying fluid supplying system (100) and the suction pipe (18) constitutes a part of a suction and discharge system (200). Further, a water level control system (300) is provided for monitoring a water level in the open tank (10) and controlling such water level so as to render it constant. The supply pipe (14) is mounted such that a water injection port (13) is positioned at a position lower than a lower limit of a water level changing range  DELTA h in the open tank (10).   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The suturing system includes a cannula that defines two adjacent lumens. One lumen carries a supply of anchor members that are joined together by a suture. The anchor members are moved by a supply rod, one at a time, from a lower lumen to an upper lumen. The upper lumen terminates in a sharpened tip that is pierced through tissue. The single anchor member that is moved into the upper lumen is then deployed into or behind the pierced tissue and the cannula is retracted. The rod for deploying the anchor member also temporarily blocks movement of additional anchor members from the lower to the upper lumen so that the surgeon can sufficiently tense the suture before piercing the tissue in an adjacent location and depositing a second anchor member. A series of anchor members joined by a continuous suture are deposited in this matter to suture together tissue. Also provided is a gun to which the cannula is mounted for one-handed operation of the system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of preparing pharmaceutical closures for containers made of flexible polymeric materials which are suitable to be filled with parenterally administerable fluids prior to their sealing and sterilization. The process involves a specific relaxation period for the elastomer material of the closure which thereby can settle and develop resealing characteristics. The closures will have an excellent resealing capacity after being penetrated by a piercing device for establishing fluid communication with the container, even after multiple entries into the container.

Abstract: An integrated intrabay buffer, delivery, and stocker system including a pair of shuttles, capable, by themselves, of transferring a pod in an X-Z plane between the interbay transport system, the I/O ports of various process tools and a plurality of storage shelves provided along the wall of the tool bay. Advantageously, the present invention integrates together the process tools within a tool bay by providing a single transport mechanism shared by each tool, and by providing a single, large storage and buffer area for pods that is shared by each tool. This increases reliability and flexibility, and simplifies the hardware and software control. Additionally, the storage shelves may be provided above some or all of the process tools within the tool bay. Such an arrangement offers a substantially greater number of spaces to store a pod as compared to conventional tool bays. Moreover, as the space above processing tools is currently unused, in part because a clear, unobstructed path above the I/O ports of the processing tools must be available in conventional systems, the increased storage capacity according to the present invention may be provided without increasing the footprint of conventional tool bays.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for autothermally reforming hydrocarbons. According to the invention, the fuel is fed to a reforming reactor via a feeding device. The resulting reformate is conveyed to the reforming starting materials in a heat exchanger in a reverse direction flow, in such a way that heat is exchanged, said starting materials being conveyed from the outside inwards. The fuel supplied by the feeding device is delivered directly to the reaction zone together with the starting material. Said reaction zone has a catalyst. The combustion and reforming or catalysis processes are then carried out simultaneously and in the same area in the reaction zone.

Abstract: A power sliding door for a motor vehicle comprises a door structure, a power drive assembly, a latch assembly, and a single motor for operating both the latch assembly and the power drive assembly. The door structure is mounted on a track associated with the motor vehicle, the door structure being movable along the track between opened and closed positions. The power drive assembly is connected with the door and capable of being driven to move the door along the track between the opened and closed positions. The latch assembly is mounted on the door and movable between latched and unlatched positions. The single motor is mounted on the door structure operatively connected with both the power drive assembly and the latch assembly. The motor drives the power drive assembly and thus enables the power drive assembly to move the door along the track between the opened and closed positions. The motor assists movement of the latch assembly to the latched position after the power drive assembly moves the door to the closed position.

Abstract: A writing instrument (10) having an elongated barrel (12) comprised of an outer portion and an inner portion (22), rotatable relative one to the other. The point or writing tip (30) is fixed to the barrel inner portion (22), disposed at an angle to, and may be offset from, the centerline of the barrel outer portion. The barrel inner portion is caused to rotate and move axially relative to the barrel outer portion by pressure on the writing instrument or weights (34, 35, 36) attached to the barrel inner portion to bring the point into desired alignment during the writing process. Further pressure on the point or writing tip causes the barrel inner portion to move to a rearwardmost position at which rotation of the point or writing tip is impeded by a gripping structure (144, 214).
