The system comprises a comparator for comparing data elements in the data sets, and a selector for selecting operators based on a change parameter stored in a memory.

Abstract: A steering clamper designed for use on a vehicle handlebar connected to a part rotatable about a steering axle coinciding with the center of a steering column. The steering damper comprises an outer housing enclosing a damping-medium-filled main chamber divided into two chambers by a demarcating wing rotatable about a first wing end. The outer face of the wing end rotates in a cutout in the housing. The first wing end is fixed to a first end of a lever which rotates relative to said outer housing. The lever connects, the steering damper rotating with the steering device to the vehicle frame. In the outer housing there is a cavity, the center line of which coincides with the steering axle, designed to accommodate a fastening element which joins the steering damper to the part rotatable about the steering axle.

Abstract: A vane damper, and a method for making the vane damper is disclosed. A casing including a space for at least one rotable vane divides the space into two parts. The spaces are variable because of the vane which rotates within the space. Further, a number of asymmetrical ducts connects the spaces separated by the vane with a gas accumulator space so that a medium within the spaces for damping motion of the vane can expand into the gas accumulator space against the force of a gas. The vane is produced by extruding aluminum or an aluminum containing alloy. The vane is sealed against the surfaces of the space as well as a bearing member supporting the vane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out mixing in a thin liquid layer, which is arranged between essentially parallel walls at a capillary distance from each other. The mixing is carried out by subjecting the walls to a motion essentially in the plane of the liquid layer, balancing the motion against the capillary force exerted by the walls on the liquid, and selecting the interface between the liquid layer and the surrounding medium so that it functions as an elastic membrane. The invention also concerns a cuvette which is designed for mixing according to the method.

Abstract: An automatically adjustable seat system (10) includes a sensor (48) for detecting the position of a physical feature of the driver, such as the eyes. The sensor (48) is in communication with a controller (46), which transfers the detected physical feature of the driver thereto. A seat positioning (50) mechanism is in communication with the controller (48) to automatically locate the seat (14) in a position which provides the driver with an optimum field of view. The controller (48) is also in communication with a pedal box (28) and a steering column (26) to automatically position the pedals (26), based on the information from the sensor (48), in an optimum position for use by the driver.

Abstract: In a front wheel suspension on a motorcycle, the front wheel is mounted in rearward-sloping supporting members which, in turn, are mounted on the chassis of the vehicle by bearing units comprising link elements and a springing function. The supporting member and the wheel are turnable about a steering line which slopes in a corresponding manner to the supporting members. The bearing units form separate upper and lower bearing units, which are provided with bearing units in or about which the supporting members and the wheel are turnable. Preferably, the upper bearing unit of the bearing units acts as a combined bearing and steering linkage member for the supporting members. The bearing units are torsionally rigid in their respective planes, which extend through the respective securement points or bearings of the bearing units in the chassis and the supporting members.

Abstract: A photometer for determining the transmission of a liquid sample in a microcuvette (7, 20, 22) has a cavity for a capillary layer of the liquid sample with a free liquid surface extended transversely of the principal plane of the cavity. The cavity is initially prepared with a reagent to achieve a reaction, which affects the transmission of the liquid sample for indicating its contents of a predetermined substance. The photometer has a holder (6) for the microcuvette and measuring means (9, 10) for measuring the transmission of a bundle of rays directed towards the microcuvette. The cuvette holder (6) is mounted on bearings for vibration in a direction having a component, which extends in the plane of the free liquid surface and is parallel with the principal plane of the cavity, thereby achieving a mixing to accelerate the dissolution and the reaction.

Abstract: A vane damper (1) comprises a body (2) with a space for at least one rotatable vane which divides the space into two part spaces (6a, 6b) which are located on either side of the vane and, because of the rotatability of the vane, are variable and which is mounted in the body by means of a bearing member and operates in a working medium (16) which is located in the space and, via a throttle function, can be transferred between the variable part spaces to produce the damping characteristic. The vane with associated bearing member is produced by means of extruding aluminium. The extruded product is cut for production of the respective vane with associated bearing member. The respective vane is provided with sealing members which establish a seal against the relevant surfaces of the space and of the bearing member.
