Abstract: A therapeutic back mobilizer harness that transmits a user-applied PA force to one or both sides of the spinous process at a specific spinal segment, to improve alignment and decrease pain. The harness includes a contact member, a belt that retains the contact member, and a pull system connected to the belt. A user pulls forward on handles of the pull system to apply the PA force.
Abstract: An air conditioning system controller is provided, which performs an air conditioning of a house through an air conditioning controller. The air conditioning system controller includes an in-house power generation amount obtaining section for obtaining a power generation amount generated by a natural energy power generator (for example, a solar power generation panel), an electric power amount obtaining section for obtaining a consumed electric power amount used in the house, a comparing section for comparing the power generation amount obtained by the in-house power generation amount obtaining section with a consumed electric power amount obtained by the electric power amount obtaining section and an air conditioning controlling section for controlling the air conditioning controller according to a comparison result provided by the comparing section.
Abstract: A crimp machine is provided and includes an anvil having a lower die having a lower forming surface. The anvil is configured to support a crimp barrel of a terminal that receives a wire. The crimp machine includes a press having an upper die having an upper forming surface. The press is movable relative to the anvil during a crimping process to connect the crimp barrel to the wire. A crimp zone is defined between the upper forming surface and the lower forming surface. The crimp machine includes a vision system positioned to view the crimp zone. The vision system includes an imaging device configured to image the crimp barrel of the terminal and the wire. The vision system operates the imaging device to capture an image prior to the crimping process for performing a validation pre-check prior to the crimping process.
Abstract: Provided is a screw shaft in which shape accuracy of a male threaded portion is sufficiently secured. A screw shaft includes a large-diameter shaft portion, medium-diameter shaft portions and small-diameter shaft portions. The large-diameter shaft portion has a male threaded portion along its entire axial length on its outer peripheral surface. The medium-diameter shaft portions are arranged axially adjacent to the large-diameter shaft portion and have an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the large-diameter shaft portion. The small-diameter shaft portions are axially arranged adjacent to the medium-diameter shaft portions on sides opposite to the large-diameter shaft portion, have an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of each of the medium-diameter shaft portions, and do not have rolling traces having a helical shape on their outer peripheral surfaces.
Abstract: An assembly for a steering column assembly including an engagement plate and a telescope plate at least partially disposed within the engagement plate. The engagement plate may be adapted to be located between a column tube of a steering column assembly and the telescope plate. The engagement plate and the telescope plate have one or more features for engaging with or contacting each other to provide energy absorption during an impact exceeding a threshold load. These features may include one or more projections or protrusions, one or more slots, one or more ribs, or a combination.

Abstract: A steering system includes a base body having a contact surface on a base body side and a bearing area for pivotable suspension of a first distal end and a retaining element having a contact surface on a retaining side and a fastening section for fastening a spring element, and that is arranged at an end of the base body and fixed to the base body by an adhesive between the contact surfaces, and/or wherein an axle body with a contact surface on the axle side, wherein the base body is fixed to the axle body by an adhesive introduced between the contact surfaces, wherein the retaining element is fixed to the axle body by an adhesive introduced between the contact surface on the axle side and the contact surface on the retaining side.
Abstract: A hydraulic mantle system for a gyratory rock crusher enables the safe, quick and efficient replacement of a worn or deformed mantle. The system includes a main shaft, an annular nut, an annular hydraulic piston and an annular mantle. The main shaft has a flange and external threads adjacent the flange. The annular nut body has side surfaces and internal threads that are threaded onto the external threads of the main shaft. The annular hydraulic piston has side surfaces that slidingly engage the side surfaces of the annular nut body. The annular mantle has an upper neck portion and a lower edge portion. The main shaft extends through the upper neck portion. The upper neck portion of the annular mantle is compressed between the flange of the main shaft and the annular hydraulic piston.
