Abstract: An occlusive device includes a covering component configured to modulate passage of blood or thrombus therethrough, and an occlusion frame that includes a plurality of elongate occlusion frame members. The elongate occlusion frame members are arranged to form a generally disc-shaped member. The occlusion frame is at least partially covered by the covering component. The device further includes an anchor frame that includes a plurality of elongate anchor frame members. The device further includes a first hub component from which the elongate frame members extend, and a second hub component from which the elongate frame members extend.

Abstract: A non-rotating wheel cover assembly (1) that attaches to a wheel via an universal lug mounting bracket (2). The universal lug mounting bracket is made up of a preferably circular mounting plate (4) having a plurality of slots (24) extending from a central aperture (14) to an outer edge (35) of the mounting plate. The slots are positioned around the mounting plate to accommodate various lug patterns, such as wheels having five lugs (3) or six lugs. The slots also accommodate wheels having various diameters where the lugs are spaced further or closer to the center of a wheel. An inner plate (10) having a bearing (17) located therein engages an axle (18) extending from an outer plate (20). A ridge (23) located at a base (24) of the axle prevents damage to a wheel cover (8) if the wheel cover comes into contact with a curb.

Abstract: In accordance with certain of its aspects this invention relates to a process and composition for the preparation of an electrodeposit which contains; at least one metal selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt or; binary or ternary alloys of the metals selected from nickel, iron and cobalt; which comprises passing current from an anode to a cathode through an aqueous acidic electroplating solution containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel compounds and cobalt compounds and which may additionally contain iron compounds providing nickel, cobalt and iron ions for electrodepositing nickel, cobalt, nickel-cobalt alloys, nickel-iron alloys, cobalt-iron alloys or nickel-iron-cobalt alloys and containing an effective amount of at least one additive; the improvement comprising the presence of 2.times.10.sup.-5 moles per liter to 0.1 moles per liter of an .alpha.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement is provided for sensing the position of an edge of a fed sheet adjacent a front stop. Timing circuitry responsive to the sensor arrangement is used to time a reference time interval from the sensing of the edge. The timing circuitry is coupled to a sheet feeder and is capable of stopping the sheet feeder upon the expiration of the reference time interval. The reference time interval is selected to be sufficiently long to allow the sheet feeder when feeding a sheet to form a buckle in the sheet. The reference time interval is adjustable to provide adjustability of the height of the buckle.

Abstract: In accordance with certain of its aspects, this invention relates to a process for the preparation of an electrodeposit which contains iron and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt which comprises passing current from an anode to a cathode through an aqueous plating solution containing an iron compound and at least one member selected from the group consisting of cobalt compounds and nickel compounds providing cobalt or nickel ions for electrodepositing alloys of iron with cobalt and/or nickel and containing in combination an effective amount of:1. at least one member selected from the group of cooperating additives consisting of ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, and erythorbic acid; and2. the reaction product of an aromatic sulfinate and an aldehyde or aldehyde derivative; for a time period sufficient to form a sound metal electroplate upon said cathode surface.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for minimizing heating effects and reducing power surges in the fuser element of a copier/duplicator by providing a reduce power, soft turn-on operation during single copy machine cycles followed by a full power turn-on at entry of the copy paper into the fusing station. An adaptive fusing circuit is disclosed so that each of multiple modes of machine operation are properly timed with the fuser soft power-on and full power turn-on features. Available machine modes of operation include chain feeding and large document copying using both a fixed and a movable optical scanning system.
