Abstract:
Brake band (14) of a disc for a ventilated disc brake, unusually capable of reducing braking whistling, extends between an inner diameter (D1), close to a rotation axis (X-X) of the brake band (14), and an outer diameter (D2), far from said rotation axis (X-X) of the disc, said brake band (14) comprising two plates (16, 18) facing one another and defining a gap (22), comprising two plates (16, 18) being joined together by heat dissipation and connection means or elements (20, 60), said connection means (20, 60) being shaped like small columns that project from one plate towards the opposite plate in the form of pins (20, 60) remaining inside said gap (22), said pins (20, 60) being grouped in at least two rows or tiers (26, 28, 30) arranged circumferentially. Some of the pins (60) arranged in said second tier (28 or 30) having a section shaped like a rhombus or diamond with four vertices joined by four sides in which said sides defining said section are substantially rectilinear in shape.
Abstract:
A method for identifying a person includes the steps of detecting the face of a person in an input image, determining the reliability of each feature value from the input image, and obtaining a plurality of feature values from the detected face. Based on the feature values obtained from the detected face, the feature values stored on a storage unit, and the reliability of each feature value, an identification result according to the detected face is decided. A device includes the components for implementing said method.
Abstract:
A device for producing anastomoses between first and second hollow organs, each having inner and outer surfaces. The device comprises a sleeve with an electrode arrangement, over which the first hollow organ is placed such that its inner surface comes to lie on an outermost surface of the sleeve, and an outer electrode arrangement, which can be brought into electrical contact with the opposing electrode arrangement carrying the second hollow organ, which is pushed over the first hollow organ. The outer electrode arrangement comprises a plurality of lamellae, configured and arranged such that, in a closed state, the lamellae form a through aperture and the inner edges of the lamellae lie against the second hollow organ and, in an open state, a gap is formed between the lamellae through which the hollow organs connected to one another can be guided outwardly out of the through aperture.
Abstract:
Maximum HF current is initially introduced into tissue at a pre-specified maximum coagulation voltage. In this initial state, the tissue behaves in accordance with Ohm's law and can take up the maximum energy per unit of time. After the tissue has changed from an initial state to a state in which the tissue impedance or resistance is voltage-dependent, the HF parameters are selected such that the maximum possible energy input per unit of time is set.
Abstract:
A method and system for controlling the amount of a second material incorporated into a first material by controlling the amount of a third material which can interact with the second material.
Abstract:
A method and device for knotless fixation of tissue. A swivel anchor having a rotatable forked anchor tip is used to capture suture, such as a suture chain, for surgical tissue repair without requiring suture knots. Tension on the repair constructs is adjustable through the selection of the specific chain link or links of the suture chain captured by the forked anchor tip of the swivel anchor. The swivel anchor is secured in a hole in bone by advancing a fixation device, such as a cannulated interference screw, over the body of the anchor.
Abstract:
A protection system (7) for container treatment machine comprises a support frame (8) with a base frame (9) extending in a longitudinal direction parallel to a treatment path of containers and at least one individual support member (10) connected to the base frame (9), at least one individual protection panel (11), at least one individual guide means (12) configured to define a movement path of the individual protection panel (11) between a closure position and an opening position, at least one auxiliary positioning means (13) configured to apply an auxiliary force to the individual protection panel (11), said auxiliary force acting in the direction of said movement path against the force of gravity of the individual protection panel (11), wherein the guide means (12) movably connect the individual protection panel (11) to the individual support member (10) and the auxiliary positioning means (13) is interposed between the protection panel (11) and the support member (10) such as to form at least one individual panel-support-guide-positioning-module (14) adapted to be connected to said base frame (9) in an adjustable position along said longitudinal direction thereof.
Abstract:
A portable apparatus (1) for the tooling of a workpiece (9) comprises a motor (3) with a cyclic movement output member (4), a tool holder (5) adapted to carry a tool (6) and a movement transmitter (7) engaging the motor output member (4) and the tool holder (5) to set the tool holder (5) in a cyclic movement, wherein the movement transmitter (7) comprises a transmission ratio adjuster (8) that, in response to a preset reduction of the cyclic movement speed (ω_m) of the output member (4) of the motor, increases the transmission ratio (ω_m/ω_ph) thereby reducing the cyclic movement speed (ω ph) of the tool holder (5) with respect to the cyclic movement speed (ω_m) of the output member (4) of the motor (3).
Abstract:
In an electronic device in which a component connecting portion is mounted inside a case (1, 2), a protective cover (5) is mounted to the case to be rotatable and covers the component connecting portion. The protective cover has elastically deformable hooks (52) facing a direction (A1) parallel to a rotation center line thereof. On the other hand, the case has hook receivers (11a) engageable with and disengageable from the hooks. The protective cover may be removable from the case or may be loosely connected thereto.
Abstract:
A light-emitting element where a positive electrode is formed on the surface of a transparent substrate; a hole transport layer is formed on the surface of the positive electrode; and a light-emitting layer made of quantum dots is formed on the surface of the hole transport layer. The light-emitting layer has a light-emitting region that emits light of a first predetermined wavelength in which a surfactant is present on the surface of the quantum dots and a non-light-emitting region that does not emit light in which a surfactant is absent on the surface of the quantum dots. A second light-emitting layer that emits light of a second predetermined wavelength is formed on the surface of the light-emitting layer, and a negative electrode is formed on the surface of the second light-emitting layer.
