Abstract: A pressure gauge has a shell, a scale panel, an index pointer, a piston set, and a gear transmission set. The shell has a front end board, a back end board, and a piston base mounted on the inner surface of the back end board. The scale panel is mounted between the front end board of the shell and the back end board of the shell. The index pointer is mounted on a front surface of the scale panel. The piston set is mounted in the piston base of the shell. The gear transmission set is mounted between the back end board of the shell and the scale panel.

Abstract: Where a particular item has certain restrictions or requirements which should be followed when the item is stored or transported, a transit plan or storage plan for the item may be developed using the systems and methods of the present disclosure. In particular, where the restrictions or requirements may change over time (i.e., during the period in which the item is stored or transported), the transit plan or storage plan may include accommodations for changing the conditions of the item in order to comply with the restrictions or requirements. In particular, the transit plan or storage plan may call for the reorientation of an item that has orientation-specific requirements as the item is in storage or in transit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lancet device for a face-to-face weaving machine (100), comprising one or several lancets (1,2,3;16), a lancet (1,2,3,16) at one extremity being provided to be installed in a lancet holder and at its other extremity being provided with a lancet tip (4a,4b), the lancets (1,2,3,16) being carried out in at least two embodiments, that are provided to be installed alternately next to one another in the face-to-face weaving machine, each of the two or several lancets (1,2,3,16) installed next to one another in the zone between the point where it is received in the lancet holder and the tip (4a,4b) of the lancet (1,2,3,16) on the opposite extremity of the lancet (1,2,3,16) being provided with one or several zones (C,D), that are not overlapping one another when the lancets (1,2,3,16) are projected in the weft direction. The invention furthermore relates to a face-to-face weaving machine that is equipped with a lancet device according to the invention.

Abstract: Integrated circuit chips (IC's) require proper placement of many cells (groups of circuit components) and complex routing of wires to connect the cells. Designing of the IC's require meeting real-world constraints one of which is the performance of the IC, or the period of time required by the integrated circuit to produce the output signals from the time the input signals are available. Typically, the performance of an integrated circuit is determined by the slowest path of the signals, called the critical path. The critical path is usually only a small portion of the IC. The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for transforming the circuits comprising the critical path, thereby increasing the performance of the entire IC. The transformation is performed by segmenting, or blocking, the cells which make up the critical path. Then, each block is transformed, or replaced, with a resynthesized circuit to which both the digital 0 and digital 1 values are provided.
