Vibrator motor

Номер: US20120030950A1
Принадлежит: Wahl Clipper Corp

A vibrator motor in a hair clipper has a stationary piece and a moving piece. The stationary piece has a primary leg and at least one secondary leg. The primary leg fits through an opening in a coil. A flange is then press fit onto the leg so that the coil is captured on the primary leg. The flange provides a magnetic pole face that is larger than the opening in the coil, which increases the efficiency of the motor. The flange is press fit in a single operation by pressing a primary prong into a primary socket, and pressing two secondary prongs into secondary sockets. The secondary prongs are guided inwardly as they enter the secondary sockets, which closes the primary socket around the primary prong. A drive arm is secured to an arm of the moving piece. The arm is angled in relation to the drive arm to put even pressure on the moving blade in the hair clipper.

Data security is incorporated or weaved directly into the data at the bit level. The systems and methods of the present invention enable enterprise communities of interest to leverage a common enterprise infrastructure. Because security is already woven into the data, this common infrastructure can be used without compromising data security and access control. In some applications, data is authenticated, encrypted, and parsed or split into multiple shares prior to being sent to multiple locations, e.g., a private or public cloud. The data is hidden while in transit to the storage location, and is inaccessible to users who do not have the correct credentials for access.

System and method for bicycle riding simulation

Принадлежит: Atari Games Corp

A system for simulating bicycle riding which incorporates a conventionally-appearing bicycle physically maneuverable by a system user. Front and rear bicycle wheels are provided solely for visual authenticity. The simulating system provides electrical communication between mechanical maneuvering of the bicycle and a video display to visually reflect changes in speed and bicycle position on a variable-terrain track in response to pedaling, braking and steering changes by the user. Specifically, the system permits simultaneous lateral displacement and leaning of the bicycle away from the vertical plane to simulate travel about a curve. The system also permits rotation in a vertical plane about a pivot point proximate to the rear bicycle tire to simulate "wheelie" motion. These changes are monitored by sensors which transmit information to a computer which, in turn, correspondingly adjusts the position of an animated bicycle on the track using computer animation made possible by a unique bicycle model program. The computer considers the influence of the forces of nature on the bicycle and user. In addition, a computer-controlled motor simulates changing conditions of the track terrain, including downhill coasting by applying power assistance to bicyclist pedaling action. Finally, an audio system and a variable-speed air blower are provided, both interfaced with the computer to enhance riding simulation.

Liquid 1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 1,1'-biphenyl diisocyanate and 1,1'-oxy-bis-(isocyanato-benzene)

Номер: US5648445A
Принадлежит: Bayer Corp

Allophanate-modified 1,3-phenylene diisocyanates or 1,1-biphenyl diisocyanates or 1,1'-oxy-bis-(isocyanato benzenes) which are storage stable liquid at 25° C. are made by reacting the diisocyanate and a mono-alcohol to form an isocyanate containing urethane groups. The urethane groups in the diisocyanate are then converted to allophanate groups. The resultant product which has an isocyanate group content of from about 10 to about 40% may be further reacted with isocyanate-reactive compounds to produce an allophanate-modified diisocyanate prepolymer containing urethane or urea groups having an isocyanate group content of from about 5 to about 40.0%. The liquid, storage-stable, allophanate-modified diisocyanates produced by these processes are particularly useful in the production of elastomers and flexible foams.

Fiber tip atherectomy catheter

Номер: EP0426322A1
Принадлежит: Schneider USA Inc

A catheter assembly (10) especially designed for the performance of atherectomy procedures which includes an elongated flexible plastic tube (12) which can be routed through the vascular system to the location of the atheroma to be removed and a working catheter (16) insertable through the guide catheter (12) in the form of an elongated flexible plastic tube (16) having a series of fibers (23) integrally formed with or otherwise attached to the distal end portion of the working catheter (16) and normally laying flat against the wall of the catheter (16). The proximal end of the working catheter (16) is adapted for connection to a high speed motor whereby the working catheter (16) can be rotated relative to the surrounding guide catheter (12). As the distal end portion of the working catheter (16) is advanced distally beyond the end of the guide catheter (12), centrifugal force acts upon the fibers (23) to cause them to extend radially outward from the core of the working catheter (16) and when advanced against an atheroma, flail the lesion, reducing it into small particles which can be aspirated out the proximal end of the catheter assembly (10).

Systems and methods for securing data in motion

Номер: CA2781872A1
Принадлежит: Security First Corp

Two approaches are provided for distributing trust among a set of certificate authorities. Both approaches are equally secure. In each approach, a secure data parser is integrated with any suitable encryption technology. Each approach may be used to secure data in motion. One approach provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to distribute trust in a set of certificate authorities during initial negotiation (e.g., the key establishment phase) of a connection between two devices. Another approach of the present invention provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to disperse packets of data into shares. A set of tunnels is established within a communication channel using a set of certificate authorities, keys developed during the establishment of the tunnels are used to encrypt shares of data for each of the tunnels, and the shares of data are transmitted through each of the tunnels. Accordingly, trust is distributed among a set of certificate authorities in the structure of the communication channel itself.
