  • Publication number: 20150174399
    Abstract: A method and device for reducing muscle tension through electrical manipulation applies a low level current to muscles of a user. Each muscle has two electrodes applied thereto, one for passing the current from the device to the muscle, and the other for receiving the current from the muscle to complete the circuit. The device has several channels, one for each pair of electrodes, and current is passed through a muscle at a level below the threshold required to cause the muscle to contract. The device is programmed to automatically apply an alternating current at predetermined frequencies for predetermined time periods to each muscle of the user that is being treated. A method of diagnosing an ailment using the device is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130294946
    Abstract: A water pump for use in steam cleaning devices includes a plunger pump with check valve and a transmission assembly. The plunger pump with check valve includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The transmission assembly includes a gear transmission system, an eccentric wheel, and a plunger pump push block. The output shaft of the gear transmission system drives rotation of an eccentric wheel. The push block has a reset structure which makes one end of the push block engage the eccentric wheel. The other end of the push block engages a plunger of the plunger pump with check valve. The pump has a simple structural arrangement, requires no additional power source, and provides consistent water flow at a low manufacturing cost.

  • Publication number: 20130156525
    Abstract: A blind fastener adapter for a conventional screw-threaded nut and screw comprises a collar and a segmented ring over the collar, the ring and collar having a tapered interface wherein relative axial movement results in a change of diameter of the ring. The adapter further includes a spring adapted to bias the collar and ring into mutual engagement; the collar and ring include means to prevent substantial relative angular movement thereof. The collar is adapted for engagement by a blind side head of the screw in use, and the ring is adapted for blind side engagement of the perimeter of a hole.

  • Publication number: 20070178901
    Abstract: A wireless cellular telecommunication system with an internet protocol network is provided. The wireless cellular telecommunication system comprises one or more base transceiver stations. The base transceiver stations can selectively provide a radio resource management processing. The radio resource management processing can provide a means for performing an inter-base transceiver station handover. A base transceiver station can communicate with another base transceiver station for the radio resource management processing without assistance from a centralized controller to perform control processing for the base transceiver stations. The base transceiver stations can further selectively provide a radio resource management processing, such as allocating a radio channel, deallocating a radio channel, changing a radio channel, or activating ciphering, without the assistance from a centralized controller to perform control processing for the base transceiver stations.
