A leak testing control assembly for a leak testing system of a type that cooperates with a test part interface that is coupled with a test part. In a broad aspect the leak testing control assembly includes a working fluid generator for applying a working fluid having a fluidic pressure to a test part. A flow controller assembly is coupled to the working fluid generator. The flow controller assembly includes a flow controller element for controlling the flow rate of the working fluid. A pressure level measuring element is positioned relative to the test part for measuring the fluidic pressure. A control system is coupled to the flow controller assembly and the pressure level measuring element. A user interface is coupled to the control system for providing user interaction with the leak testing control assembly. During operation, the control system 1) facilitates application of the fluidic pressure at a selected relatively constant flow rate; and, 2) interprets the value of the fluidic pressure, after the application of the fluidic pressure at the selected relatively constant flow rate, to determine whether the test part is free of leaks.

A contact tip for a welding gun includes an elongate body having a first end, a second end, and a first opening extending longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The elongate body has an outer surface and an inner surface. The elongate body has a second opening extending radially through a side portion of the elongate body between the outer surface and the inner surface. At least a portion of the second opening is configured to support a contact element. A contact element is configured to be supported within at least a portion of the second opening of the elongate body and extend at least partially into the first opening of the elongate body. A retention member is configured to couple the contact element with the elongate body.

Pharmaceutically engineered aerosols (e.g. submicrometer and nano-particles and droplets) containing a hygroscopic growth excipient or agent are employed to improve the delivery of respiratory aerosols to the lung. Inclusion of the hygroscopic agent results in near zero depositional loss in the nose-mouth-throat regions and near 100% deposition of the aerosol in the lung. Targeting of the aerosol to specific lung depths is also possible. In addition, methods and apparatuses for delivering aerosols to the lung are provided. The aerosol is delivered to one nostril of a patient while a relatively high humidity gaseous carrier is delivered to the other nostril, resulting in post-nasopharyngeal growth of the aerosol to a size that promotes deposition in the lung.

A metering blade suspension system utilizes a leaf spring that performs multiple combined functions such as supporting a metering blade assembly, controlling the angle, position and / or load of the blade assembly while allowing the assembly to pivot in a quasi-frictionless motion, locking the blade assembly in place, providing an electrical connection and / or bleeding static charge.

A fumigant pesticide composition made up of a base formula and enhancement formula, which include botanical essential oil-based active ingredients and inert materials identified under the United States Environmental Protection Agency's approved list of minimum risk pesticides. The enhancement formula is effective to inhibit or enhance the release of the secondary metabolites of the essential oil-based active ingredients. An apparatus and method for the controlled release of the fumigant pesticide composition is also disclosed.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a contact tip for a welding gun comprises an elongate body having a first end, a second end, and a first opening extending longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The elongate body has an outer surface and an inner surface. The elongate body has a second opening extending radially through a side portion of the elongate body between the outer surface and the inner surface. At least a portion of the second opening is configured to support a contact element.

A slack adjustment system for a disk brake includes a biasing member to adjust slack in a brake system. The biasing member operates independently of pressure applied to a brake actuator. A locking member prevents adjustment when adjustment is not necessary. Release of the locking member allows the biasing member to adjust a resting position of brake pads independent of driver applied brake pressure.

The present invention provides a toner container system, such as a toner cartridge, comprising a housing including a first reservoir for containing toner and a second reservoir for receiving toner from the first reservoir and transferring the toner to an image forming apparatus, and a toner transfer mechanism that includes a rotatable roller member having in the surface thereof a recess defined by a concave surface having a radius of curvature, and wherein the roller member is rotatable from a first position at which the recess is open to the first reservoir and a second position at which the recess is open to the second reservoir, for conveying toner from the first reservoir to the second reservoir upon rotation of the roller member from the first position to the second position, and a rotatable wiper member disposed within the second reservoir and being sized and having a flexible distal end rotatable through the recess in contact with the concave surface when the roller member is in the second position.
