Abstract: A jig for metal plastic working for use in plastic working of a metal or alloy workpiece, in which a working surface is moved relative to the workpiece in contact with the workpiece. The working surface of the jig is smoothed so that an arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra is not more than 0.12 ?m, and so that no protrusion is observed that has a width of not less than 200 ?m and a height of not less than 10 ?m, which are calculated on a basis of a projection thereof along a working direction.

Abstract: A more practical method for evaluating an inhibitory circuit applicable to a living body, and the use thereof. Herein the action of an inhibitory circuit on an excitatory circuit is evaluated on the basis of attenuation of the brain activity produced by activation of an excitatory circuit by the input of an inhibitory circuit by performing a step for inputting an inhibitory circuit by applying a second trigger in advance of a first trigger to an excitatory circuit activated by a first trigger which is a stimulus or challenge.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a fuel supply device includes a body assembly having a main bore from which fuel is supplied, an inlet passage, a valve seat adjacent to the inlet passage and a fuel chamber communicated with the main bore and with the inlet passage to receive a supply of fuel from the inlet passage, and an inlet valve carried by the body assembly. The inlet valve has a valve head with a body and an engagement portion extending outwardly from the body. The inlet valve is movable relative to the valve seat from an open position in which the engagement portion is spaced from the valve seat and fuel from the inlet passage may flow through the valve seat and into the fuel chamber and a closed position in which the engagement portion is engaged with the valve seat.

The fuel pump diaphragm is carried by the body and defines in part a fuel chamber on one side of the fuel pump diaphragm and a pressure pulse chamber on the other side of the fuel pump diaphragm. The pressure pulse passage communicates the pressure pulse chamber with a pressure pulse source to provide pressure pulses in the pressure pulse chamber to actuate the fuel pump diaphragm. The pressure pulse passage includes an inlet communicating with a passage in which pressure pulses are present and the inlet is spaced from a surface defining the passage in which pressure pulses are present.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a pressure regulator includes a first body, a second body coupled to the first body and a diaphragm having a portion trapped between the first body and the second body and a not trapped portion that is movable relative to the first body and second body. A stop surface is defined by the second body, and a backing member is coupled to the not trapped portion of the diaphragm for movement with the not trapped portion of the diaphragm. The backing member engages the stop surface to limit the amount the not trapped portion of the diaphragm can move toward the second body.
