A pretensioner device in which, at a time of rapid deceleration of a vehicle such as a collision, a gas generator generates gas and the pretensioner device moves a piston in a direction of tensing a webbing. The pull-in operation is performed in accordance with a setting value in the register. A sequence of images of the dot pattern is acquired before and after deformation of the body.

Connection arrangements for a male probe and female receiver for selective connection of a spider buoy with a turret for mooring a vessel in offshore waters. The lead is provided with a die bonding pad for bonding the semiconductor light source, and with an exposed surface opposite to the die bonding pad The exposed surface is surrounded by the resin package in the in-plane direction of the exposed surface. The matching networks, substantially tuned to the frequencies of the sources driving them, include series inductances so the 2 MHz inductance exceeds the 27 MHz network inductance, and the 27 MHz network inductance exceeds the inductances of the 60 MHz networks. A second device having a second polarity different from the first polarity uses the second mesa as a channel and benefits from the enhanced horizontal crystallographic orientation. Optionally, multiple of the parallel search engines may be cascaded by connection to an expansion bus to form a mega search engine. This second via may be formed by conventional plating techniques.

An electronic market for trading of securities includes a plurality of client stations for entering quotes for securities and a server process. The exhaust gas particulate filter is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine for capturing particulate matter in exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. Using a viral vector, the concentration of neurotrophin delivered as part of a neurotrophic composition varies from 1010 to 1015 neurotrophin encoding viral particlesml of composition fluid.

A optical disc holder and protector designed to retain a disc and remain thereon when the disc is inserted into a standard disc playerrecorder so as to maintain protection of the disc and allow the disc to be utilized in the playerrecorder. An ITS comprising a client system having an Internet browser, and a server hosting a Web site, wherein a message is transmitted from the server to the client system based on the user’s status with respect to Web site, the user seeking to establish a voice communication session. The material can be used in a variety of different applications including, for example, internal engine combustion, natural gas combustion, water purification or the like. The locating part is located in front of the front shell with a distance therebetween being adjustable by the locating part along with the slide part sliding forward and backward. An actuator speed regulating module is provided to drive the actuator at a first speed when the pump unit is turned on, and to continue to drive the actuator at a second speed higher than the first speed after a load on the actuator reaches a predetermined level.

A gasifying furnace gasifies solid fuel or liquid fuel. This method includes preparing a dummy substrate having a metal film formed on a surface thereof and a monitor substrate on which a cleaning evaluation is performed, and polishing the dummy substrate. As a result, signals from the remote control side can be received even while someone is listening to the radio. Completing the call by encoding voice signals using a common voice compression algorithm executed by the digital wireless telephones and by sending the encoded voice signals through a data network eliminates the drawbacks associated with the additional intermediate encoding which would have been required if the call had been completed using the circuit switched network.

A filter-holder for use in coffee machines, comprising: a cup in which a filter containing the coffee is inserted; at least one delivery spout; and a valve associated with the delivery spout for stabilizing the infusion back-pressure. The difference in ink flow between the supply and return is delivered to the application rollers of a printing press. 1nonane derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives and methods of using such derivatives to treat disease states, disorders and conditions mediated by opioid receptors. The same types of impedance elements as the impedance element are interposed in the first and second transmission lines between the first circuit block and the second circuit block.

Pipelining techniques to deinterlace video information are described. Operational states of the slave device and the master device are determined. The upper cladding layer, and in one embodiment also the lower cladding, comprises high boron and phosphorous doped silicon dioxide, suitably doped with greater than about 9% of boron and with about 2. The phase of either a clock signal or a strobe signal is adjusted with reference to the phase of the other signal.

A leader which is used to pull a seamable papermaker’s fabric onto a paper machine comprising a ravel area for securing pull ropes or cables thereto. Key aspects of the method involve a step of controlling a moveable part to move within a predetermined focusing area, a step of processing consecutive images to obtain definition values of the consecutive images, and a step of calculating a focus location of the consecutive images. The ping control metric may be a user-defined metric that is a function of predicted signal-to-noise ratios and predicted target tracks, and may contain aspect dependent target strength and target position and velocity data for a particular potential ping time. The continuous flow microreactor comprises one or more individual fluidic modules each having various features with respect to channel width and thermal management.
