Abstract: A linkage generally consisting of a first shaft having a first connecting component provided with an annular in a face thereof, disposed coaxially with such first shaft; a second shaft having a second connecting component provided with an annular disposed axially with the second shaft inserted in the annular recess of the first component; and a set of circumferentially spaced threaded fasteners securing such first and second components together, wherein the first and second components are angularly displaced relative to a common axis thereof so that a residual imbalance of one of such components offsets a residual imbalance of the other of such components.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for producing a torque-transmitting link on a drive shaft of a motor vehicle between two rotationally symmetrical components in the joint area, particularly the outer part (22) of a joint (18) of a drive shaft and a flange part (16) of a gearshaft, wherein said components are joined to each other by means of several screws (24) which are distributed in a peripheral direction. The screws cross through annular bearing surfaces (16a, 22a) of the components and an annular centering collar (16c) is formed on one component, encompassing the outer periphery of the other component in a loose fit. In order to obtain a productively advantageous and simple-to-mount link, a defined remaining balance error of at least one of the components is determined and peripherally marked, the component is fixed in a de-axised manner with respect to the other component according to the terms of the loose fit, and the remaining balance error is essentially compensated.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring fault coverage in an integrated circuit (IC) using a stuck-at fault model is disclosed. The system includes a Device Under Test (DUT) assembly having the IC that includes at least one node, a probe and a test pattern generator and interface system. The DUT's nodes are operable to be stimulated to a stuck-at fault state when stimulated by a certain frequency of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, which fault state is operable to be discovered by a suitable test vector set.

Abstract: Two synchronizing flip-flops synchronize the transitions of a slow clock to a fast clock. The state of a version of the synchronized slow clock is stored by a last-state flip-flop that is clocked on an edge of the fast clock. The last-state flip-flop is compared by logic to a version of the synchronized slow clock to produce a pulse with a width determined by either a phase of the fast clock or a cycle of the fast clock.

Abstract: A foldable construction incorporates both structural and ornamental qualities into a single form. The construction is made of a single, die-cut, nearly rectangular, blank of flat foldable material which is pre-creased with a unique configuration of fold lines. The completed structure is characterized by a convex dome shape on at least the top side. When folded to create a pair of opposing dome shapes, construction may take the form of a very solid, somewhat spherical, sculpture shape. Each dome is radially sectioned in an equal pattern around the axis of the dome and each section of the dome includes a recess portion which interrupts the outer skin and forms a structural rib. An internal support block may be used between the sets of structural ribs of the opposing domes to provide additional axial support.

Abstract: A fluid control valve including a housing with a chamber therein, a hollow barrel, an elongated trigger, a seal and spring. The chamber communicates with a source of fluid, and also has one end of the barrel, which is axially slideably mounted in the housing with the other end outside the housing. The barrel's normal position is furthest into said housing and, its activated position is axially outward therefrom. The trigger is substantially perpendicular to the barrel and is positioned on the barrel and engages the barrel adjacent to the housing with the barrel passing through an opening at one end of the trigger. The seal is movable in the chamber and normally closes one of the communication. The spring is in the chamber urging the seal and barrel into their normal position. Activation of the trigger engages the barrel, moving it axially against the spring permitting the seal to open the communication.

Abstract: Surgical suction apparatus for applying suction to surgical debris to clear a surgical wound and including structure for clearing any surgical debris lodged in the entrance aperture of the apparatus and which structure may also be used to vary the effective size of the entrance aperture to vary the suction applied to the surgical debris.
