Abstract: A powered breast pump has user input means which enable a user to control the pump in a “learn” mode. When the pump is switched to a “run” mode, it mimics the pumping cycle established by the user in the “learn” mode. The pump may be continuously operated in “learn” mode, in which case it functions as a power-assisted breast pump.

Abstract: Specific advertisements and other information can be communicated to the user of a mobile vehicle depending on the vehicle's position, vehicle or user characteristics, or other vehicle-specific data.
Abstract: A color display tube with an elongated phosphor screen having a pattern of discrete phosphor elements. In order to reduce landing errors of the electron beams, in particular in the X direction, and simultaneously minimize the amount of magnetic material used for the internal magnetic shield, the color display tube has an internal magnetic shield consisting of a tub that is deep-drawn from a foil, which tube has a bottom with an aperture for allowing passage of electrons. Material of the bottom adjoining the aperture for allowing passage of electrons has been bent outwards from the plane of the bottom. In this manner, material of the bottom of the tub which would otherwise have been cut away is used to enlarge the “virtual” height of the magnetic shield.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cathode ray tube includes arranging the tube with its neck part in a downward position, and covering the inner surface of its funnel-shaped part with a carrier liquid including a conductive material. Carrier liquid is supplied through a pipe positioned near an edge of the funnel-shaped part and close to the inner surface of the funnel-shaped part. The pipe and the funnel-shaped part are moved with respect to each other so that a projection of the pipe on the inner surface describes a trajectory on the inner surface of the funnel-shaped part which is substantially parallel to the edge of the funnel-shaped part, thus allowing the carrier liquid to drain downwardly, thereby leaving a coating formed by a residue of the conductive material on the inner surface. During the covering step, the pipe and the funnel-shaped part are moved with respect to each other to describe a non-closed loop trajectory, such that a high-voltage connection element is not completely coated.
Abstract: A fuel injector performs main fuel injection by raising fuel pressure in a nozzle chamber to lift a check valve member to a fully open position, and performs preinjection or microinjection by operating a solid state motor to lower a check stop so that when fuel pressure in the nozzle chamber is raised the check valve member is limited to lift a much smaller distance.
Abstract: The invention relates to a power supply unit or battery charging device (1). While of compact type, the device is to dissipate to the environment the heat generated during operation and, on the other hand, is to be extremely handy. There is proposed to provide cooling fins (4) on the housing (2) of the device, while the cooling fins (2) are arranged so that the cooling fin interstices are suitable for locking a cable (5) of the device.
