Abstract: A control mechanism for manually adjusting a plurality of control parameters, the control mechanism including a mechanical multiple axis handle movable about three axes of rotation for operating an operated device, wherein each of the axes of rotation pass through the handle, and a movement transformation assembly to transform rotational movements of the handle to control commands to the operated device.

Abstract: Device and method are disclosed for transforming an angular movement changing linearly to a linear movement changing non-linearly with respect to the linear change of the angular movement. Embodiments of the device and method may be useful for on providing better and more accurate control of a user of the amount of fluid flowing from a faucet at the low flow rates. According to other embodiments a flow diversion plate is disclosed adapted to divert the flow entering the plate through one facet of the plate at a input location to an outlet opening diverted away from the input location by an angular diversion of between 90 to 180 degrees.

Abstract: A handle for a mixer faucet is used to facilitate operating the faucet more easily by using primarily the wrist and forearm muscles. The handle comprises a gripping element (202) and a connector (204) to connect the handle to a mechanism lever of the mixer faucet. The gripping element comprises two sections, both of which lie along an axis substantially perpendicular to the mechanism lever's operating axes. Furthermore, each of the sections is located on an opposite side of the mechanism lever's operating axis. To operate the faucet, the operator's hand holding or touching the handle is aligned in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the hand is substantially continual with the longitudinal axis of the mechanism lever. This allows operating the mixer faucet by using primarily gentle motor skill-type movements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bookmark for finding a desired page of a multi-page readable item such as a book or magazine having a plurality of pages bound along inner edges thereof, and disposed between opposed covers, said bookmark having a planar elongated section terminating at an upper curved hook-like extremity configured to extend, when said bookmark is in use, from said bound inner edges over the back of said readable item, an inner edge of an outer leg extension connected to said curved section said inner edge is substantially parallel to said inner edge of said elongated section. The present invention also relates to a second use of a bookmark as a coupon and/or a greeting card, to an advertising device comprising such a bookmark, and to a method for advertising such a bookmark.
