Abstract: A toilet flush regulator mechanism driving the discharge of water from the flush tank together with the change of geometrical positioning of the curve that forms the toilet siphon; the driving is performed through a system of stems and plates connected among each other by rods, springs and pins joined to the toilet's movable siphon which goal is saving and rationalize the waste of water during the flush. The system works by acting on a driving lever (3) which simultaneously opens the flush storage tank to empty it and moves the curve (10), acting as siphon, to evacuate the toilet bowl into the building's sewer inlet (12) line. While emptying the flush tank the stem with float (1) frees the movement of the other parts joined to it closing the flush tank so it can be filled again, bringing all the mechanism's parts and the curve (10) to the resting initial position.

Abstract: A device for detecting torque features of an electric screwer comprises a clutch for coupling with the electric screwer and a clutch for applying a resisting torque. The two clutches (11, 13) are connected to one another by a shaft (14) on which there are arranged extensometers (15) for measuring the torque transmitted by the shaft. On the shaft there is splined a disc (18) that bears on at least one face circular tracks (19, 20, 21, 22) that are coaxial to the shaft and to which the extensometers are electrically connected. Sliding contacts (23, 24, 25, 26) rest elastically on said circular tracks in a direction that is substantially parallel to the axis of the shaft to pick up the electric signals from the extensometers. An encoder (17) is provided to detect shaft rotation.

Abstract: A retainer for a rolling bearing, which is used for a food machine or a vacuum apparatus, containing an increased amount of a lubricating oil and enhancing a use efficiency of the lubricating oil and rolling bearing is described. The retainer consists of a molding, of a synthetic resin composition, which holds a rolling element of a rolling bearing. The molding is composed of a resinous porous article having an interconnected hole porosity not less than 30% and a lubricating oil which impregnates the resinous porous article. The resinous porous article has an interconnected hole are formed by molding a resin containing a pore-forming substance having a melting point higher than that of the resin and can be used as a food material, and by extracting said pore-forming substance from the molding with a solvent which dissolves the pore-forming substance and does not dissolve the resin.

Abstract: Personally adjustable footwear with at least one sole layer including: a toe portion, a heel portion, and an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion has openings passing vertically through the layer so that the intermediate portion is elastically flexible to allow relative longitudinal displacement of the toe portion and the heel portion to vary a length of the layer without significant variation in a thickness of the layer. A retention mechanism selectively fixes the toe and heel portions in any of a number of relative positions. Also disclosed are implementations with insertable and removable segments, and with elongated elements sliding in channels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a porous resinous oil-retaining article, containing lubricating oil, which is excellent in the utilization efficiency of the lubricating oil, has a high mechanical strength, and further allows the resin and the lubricating oil to be combined with each other according to a use and a specification. The present invention also provides a method of producing the resinous oil-retaining article. The resinous oil-retaining article comprises a resinous porous article having interconnected holes which are open to a surface of the resinous porous article; and an oil impregnated into the resinous porous article. The interconnected holes are formed by molding a resin containing a pore-forming substance into a molding and extracting a part of the pore-forming substance from the molding with a solvent which dissolves the pore-forming substance and does not dissolve the resin. An interconnected hole porosity of the resinous porous article is not more than 30%.

Abstract: A drawing object image and an image processing program are provided in an HTTP server 12. The drawing object image is downloaded by accessing the HTTP server 12 from a terminal unit 10. When the operator initiates a drawing operation on a WEB browser screen of terminal unit 10, an XMLHTTP request with coordinate position information of the cursor and the drawing radius information are transmitted to the HTTP server 12 to execute an image manipulation process. The WEB browser virtually divides the drawing operation object image into cells, identifies the cells in which the image contents are modified in the image manipulation process, and issues HTTP requests for the cell images. The HTTP server 12 cuts out the manipulated image in the requested areas and transmits them to the WEB browser and arranges them.
