Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reproducing stereo sound. A transducer (14) is provided for reproducing two audio signals which are substantially out of phase with each other. Means, such as duct (11), are associated with the transducer to conduct at least one of the audio signals to a location such that the two substantially out of phase signals are transmitted from respective spaced apart locations. The duct (11) may lead to ports (4). These may be elongate and arranged to transmit sound across a flat surface. A second transducer (8) may be provided for transmitting a second audio signal. A conventional two channel stereo audio signal may be reproduced by the sum and difference system.
Abstract:
A rigid drive axle assembly includes a support beam member having a substantially flat central plate section, a differential assembly module secured to the central plate section through at least two threaded studs extending from the central plate section. The differential assembly module includes a differential carrier frame member having two bearing hubs receiving differential bearings. A method for verifying a predetermined bearing preload of the differential assembly module comprises the steps of preloading the differential bearings to the predetermined bearing preload, inserting mounting bores in the bearing hubs of the frame member onto the mounting studs, and determining that the differential bearings are properly preloaded if the mounting studs are received in the mounting bores in the differential carrier frame member without substantial resistance, or determining that the differential bearings are not properly preloaded if the mounting studs may not be received in the mounting bores easily.
Abstract:
The toxicity of temozolomide, an anti-tumour agent useful in the treatment of various mammalian neoplasms, can be potentiated by the prior administration of an ATase inhibiting agent, i.e., O.sup.6 -benzylguanine.
