Abstract: An illumination arrangement for illuminating an object to be measured, destined in particular for a coordinate measuring system or a measuring microscope, includes several light sources (18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68) going out from a support (16, 70) having different incidence angles with respect to an optical axis (14) of an optic, by means of which the object can be measured or imaged. The light sources in the support are arranged in such a way, that their incidence angles (?, ?, ?, ?, ?) intersect the optical axis (14) in divergent areas (48, 50, 52, 54, 56).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a strip of aluminum alloy having high surface homogeneity with an upper side showing after a 1 ?m thick sulphur anodic treatment, an optical roughness value SN measured on three 5 cm longitudinal sections and three 5 cm transverse sections, such that its mean variation on each section, defined by the ratio: (Maximum SN?minimum SN)/Mean SN is less than 20%, and the difference ?SN=SN max ?SN min is less than 20. The strip is manufactured by continuous casting between two cooled rolls from a casting tank containing the liquid metal connected to an injector, and feeding the liquid metal into the gap between the two rolls. The injector has an upper lip recessed by at least 2 mm with reference to a lower lip of the injector.

Abstract: A ceiling lamp junction box/lamp rod folding installation structure comprises a junction box and lamp rods hinged to the junction box. The junction box has a plurality of portals arrayed along its circumferential surface. Aligned with the portal a carrier mount having a reticulation prefabricated coupling section on each of its two ends, thereby providing for the insertion of a pin to movably dispose a swivel block and the insertion of a pin through the other end of the carrier mount to constitute a latch mechanism. The swivel block has a rack surface along one side, the notches of the rack surface provide for engagement with a side corner of a check block. As such, the lamp rods and the junction box in the hinged state provides for the turning of the lamp rods to reduce the space occupied during shipment.

Abstract: A CD storage case has two holders and two racks mounted between the holders. The racks between the holders could be folded inside the holders. When no CD cases put on the CD storage case, the racks could be folded to decrease whole volume.

Abstract: A variable optical attenuator for providing a new light attenuation mechanism based on using at least one of tilted mirrors to change and control the beam direction of reflected light beam toward output optical port in a two dimensional light path configuration is demonstrated to achieve the light attenuation in terms of changing and controlling the coupling loss among input optical port, reflective tilted mirrors, and output optical port. The tilted mirror is supported and connected by a suspended flexure spring at one side. This suspended spring is connected with tilted mirror at one side and is anchored on a substrate at the other side via a post (or a pivot). When the tilted mirror is driven by an actuator to generate movement including rotational mirror deflection and parallel mirror shifted displacement, the reflected light beam path is changed according to the particular mirror positions. The attenuation value is modified and controlled by the coupled light of reflected light beam to output port.

Abstract: An impeller pump (1) for a fluid includes a rotary impeller (5) and a pump housing (3, 4). The pump housing defines a first main flow channel (3a) and a second main flow channel (4a). A first inlet channel (3b) and a second inlet channel (4b) also are defined in the pump housing. The first inlet channel communicates with one end of the first main flow channel and the second inlet channel communicates with one end of the second main flow channel, so that the fluid is drawn into a first pump chamber (1b) and the second pump chamber (1c) via the first inlet channel and the second inlet channel, respectively.

Abstract: A bar notch (3) in the side of a side member (1) and a shaping cut (4) at the end of a cross member (2) for the bar jointing of a side member (1) with a member (2) in workpieces of wood, plastics or MDF—medium density fiberboard—produced by a punching or shearing operation consisting of a first step—a preliminary cut—and a second step—a final cut. A machine for implementation of the cutting operation comprises a knife head (9) for two side knives (10) and a nose knife (11), a table (14) and a rest (13), a first set of adjustable guide members (17) that can set the position of the knife head (9) in relation to the workpiece (1) or (2) which is to be processed, a second set of adjustable guide members (23) for setting of the mutual distance between the cross member notches (3) and a third guide member (29), which can serve as an end stop for the end of the cross member (2) during the shearing process of a cross member shaping (4).

Abstract: A valve for a water faucet includes a barrel, a valve core received in the barrel, and a bottom cap mounted in the barrel and under the valve core. The valve core has a disk with multiple first ribs formed at an inner wall of a hole thereof. Each of the first ribs has a first bevel edge formed at a top thereof. An outer rod has multiple ratchets formed at a top thereof and a circumferential position offset between corresponding first bevel edges and ratchets. Multiple first lugs are formed at an outer periphery of the outer rod. The inner rod has multiple second lugs corresponding to the first lugs. Each of the second lugs has a second bevel edge for abutting the ratchet and the first bevel edge. The spindle extends through an inlet of the barrel and has a head for blocking an inlet of the barrel.

Abstract: A method is provided for diffusion bonding a first member (20) and a second member (3) to each other. According to this method, a first joint portion (24) of the first member and a second joint portion (34) of the second member are fitted to each other with a predetermined interference. Thereafter, the first and second members are heated under a condition substantially without oxygen, so that the first and second joint portions are diffusion bonded to each other.
