Abstract: An action repair apparatus that grips and suspends above the action, case, and/or cabinet of the instrument having paneling disposed on the outer framework to be repositioned on various x, y, and z-axis points by various mechanisms.

Abstract: An ultrasound transducer probe holder device comprising a support piece; a base connected to the support piece; a cylindrical orifice within the support piece; a housing extending from the orifice and defining a cavity; a sleeve for insertion within the orifice; and an adjustment screw fitted in the housing for contact with the sleeve. The device supports and maintains the position of an ultrasound transducer probe to provide for a hands-free application of the device during different modalities of exercise required to instigate hyperemic conditions while providing x, y, z, positional adjustments of the probe relative to the patient.

Abstract: A molded case circuit breaker configured to protect its ports and cables is provided. The molded case circuit breaker comprises an electronic trip unit (ETU) including communication ports or a thermomagnetic trip unit (TMTU). The molded case circuit breaker further comprises a terminal cover configured to pass cables that connect to the communication ports of the ETU and pass the cables over lugs without touching the lugs. The molded case circuit breaker further comprises a cable box cover that protects the cables of the ETU from external harm. The terminal cover including an emboss fixture having emboss guides for alignment and fixing of the cable box cover. The electronic trip unit (ETU) or the thermomagnetic trip unit (TMTU) and the cable box cover are assembled with one or more screws. The cable box cover is prevented from falling after the one or more screws are taken out from the terminal cover regardless of how the circuit breaker is mounted.

Abstract: A fuel pressure regulator includes a fuel inlet; a fuel outlet; a seating surface; and a valve member assembly. The valve member assembly includes a poppet and also includes a sealing member which is centered about a valve member assembly axis, is annular in shape, and includes a sealing member surface. The valve member assembly is moveable between 1) a closed position in which the sealing member surface annularly engages the seating surface, thereby preventing fuel flow from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet and 2) an open position in which at least a portion of the sealing member surface is spaced apart from the seating surface, thereby allowing fuel flow from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet. A spring biases the valve member assembly toward the closed position and is centered about a spring axis which is laterally offset relative to the valve member assembly axis.

Abstract: A wood-grained polymer substrate includes a plurality of layers of different colors. The substrate is formed into elongated boards and used in the production of various end products similar to natural wood. Methods for producing the wood-grained polymer substrate are also provided.

Abstract: A control system for optimizing the flow of fluid from a plurality of pipelines in communication with a resource field includes a sensor array detecting characteristics of the resource field, the plurality of pipelines, and the flow of fluid through the plurality of pipelines. A first manifold assembly and a second manifold assembly each selectively receives the flow of fluid from any of the plurality of pipelines. A controller is provided to be in communication with the sensor array, the first manifold assembly and the second manifold assembly. The controller selectively diverts the flow of the fluid from a first group of the plurality of pipelines to one of the first and the second manifold assemblies, and diverts a second group of the plurality of pipelines to another of the first and the second manifold assemblies, in dependence upon the characteristics being communicated to the controller.

Abstract: A valve assembly includes a hydraulic subassembly with a valve member displaceable along a valve axis for controlling flow of fluid. The valve assembly also includes a solenoid subassembly for selectively displacing said valve member. The solenoid subassembly includes a metallic solenoid housing having an open end and a solenoid housing base. The solenoid subassembly also includes a solenoid coil assembly disposed within the solenoid housing, the solenoid coil assembly having a coil wound around a plastic spool defining a spool bore extending through the spool. The solenoid subassembly also includes a metallic solenoid housing cover closing off the open end of the solenoid housing and attached to the solenoid housing with a crimp connection. The solenoid subassembly also includes a metallic column disposed within and passing through the spool bore extending from the solenoid housing base to the solenoid housing cover.

Abstract: The invention provides a skin treatment device comprising a laser source (40) and focusing optics (50), such that a focal spot (18) is positioned in a dermis layer (24) of the skin to be treated. The laser beam (42) is powered and focused (16) such that a LIOB (laser induced optical breakdown) phenomenon is obtained, which affects the skin in order to stimulate re-growth of tissue. This in turn reduces wrinkles (30). The device may comprise wrinkle-determining means (52, 54, 56, 58). The focusing optics (50) may have a numerical aperture of at least 0.4. The invention also provides a corresponding method to treat skin, in particular to reduce wrinkles (30), by providing a focused laser beam (16) that causes LIOB in the dermis layer (24) of the skin. The advantage is that damage to overlaying epidermis layers may be avoided by the use of the very local LIOB phenomenon.
