A weld cap is configured and dimensioned to interact with a resilient element, e.g., a spring, and a structural member, e.g., an end cap, so as to securely position the spring relative to the end cap. The weld cap functions to distance the welding process and associated welding energy from the spring, thereby avoiding and / or minimizing any potentially undesirable annealing effect associated with securing / welding the spring relative to the end cap. A first weld cap interacts with the spring at a first end region thereof, and a second weld cap interacts with the spring at a second end region thereof, thereby effectively securing the spring with respect to opposed end caps at either end of an elongated spinal stabilization device. Alignment grooves or channels may be provided for orienting or aligning the spring with respect to the end caps and weld caps. The end regions of the spring may also include bend regions that facilitate the assembly process and / or further minimize the freedom of movement of the spring relative to the end cap / weld cap combination. The dynamic stabilization device and associated system provide advantageous clinical results in spinal applications.

An object of the prevent invention is to provide a light emitting element having slight increase in driving voltage with accumulation of light emitting time. Another object of the invention is to provide a light emitting element having slight increase in resistance value with increase in film thickness. A light emitting element of the invention includes a first layer for generating holes, a second layer for generating electrons and a third layer comprising a light emitting substance between first and second electrodes. The first and third layers are in contact with the first and second electrodes, respectively. The second and third layers are connected to each other so as to inject electrons generated in the second layer into the third layer when applying the voltage to the light emitting element such that a potential of the second electrode is higher than that of the first electrode.

An object of the invention is to provide, in a vehicle driving assistance system that provides assistance to avoid a collision between a host vehicle and a three-dimensional object causing an obstruction, a technique for avoiding assistance in which the host vehicle is guided to a region where the presence of a three-dimensional object is unclear. To achieve this object, according to the invention, a grid map, by which an avoidance region in which a three-dimensional object exists, an unclear region in which the existence of a three-dimensional object is unclear, and a safe region in which no three-dimensional objects exist can he distinguished, is created. When the avoidance region exists on the advancement path of the host vehicle, a route that can avoid the avoidance region and passes through the unclear region for a distance not exceeding a threshold is specified, whereupon a steering angle is controlled to cause the host vehicle to travel along the specified route,

A flare-bang projectile is comprised of a weighty ballast in the front leading edge, a flash-bang charge, a transfer charge and a flare charge that is lit by a starter composition located at the rear of the flare charge. When the flare charge is ignited such that it burns during the flight of the projectile, an the projectile path is indicated to thereby provide warning signaling.

The present invention is directed to a golf ball with a core and a cover layer surrounding the core. The golf ball preferably has a weight between about 44.5 grams and about 45 grams, a diameter of at least about 1.68 inches, and a deflection of about 3.0 mm to about 4.0 mm at 100 kg. Additionally, the golf ball preferably has a coefficient of restitution of at least about 0.82 at a club head speed of 100 ft / sec. The golf ball includes aerodynamics to provide an optimal trajectory and overall distance for the low weight ball. Thus, a low weight golf ball is provided delivering improved distance with superior feel. This golf ball is specifically designed to optimize its play characteristics for low swing speed players.

The present invention is directed to a transmission type laminated hologram optical element constituting an image display apparatus, wherein plural transmission type hologram optical elements (13), (14), (15) where diffraction acceptance incident angles are different from each other are laminated. The respective transmission type hologram optical elements are adapted so that outgoing angles with respect to center incident angles of respective diffraction acceptance incident angles at an arbitrary wavelength of the visible region are different from each other, whereby a diffraction acceptance angle of incident light can be broadened, light utilization efficiency is permitted to be high, and distance with respect to color pixels of the spatial light modulation element can be optimally set from viewpoints of light utilization efficiency.

The notion of an easily retrofitable passive lighting-safety device designed to be generally installed into the existing rear lighting wiring-circuit of any motor-vehicle from motorcycles to cars and trucks, -so as to significantly boost a following driver's visualacuity cognition threshold of awareness regarding the state of a leading vehicle's sudden breaking procedure. The invention provides an intense quasi-precognitive white-light "flashback" alerting effect, preferably appearing (particularly under nighttime conditions) as a nearly subliminal approximate 100-200 / millisecond flashback of visually non-deacclimating "white-light", emanating from a vehicle's existing back-up lights (or integrated with the DOT high-center brake-light). The effect being to essentially arouse a following motorist's attention to the simultaneous light-up of the preceding vehicle's stoplights. Regardless as to how long braking action continues, the so called STOPWHITES TM only illuminate in flashback once for a brief instant per actuation of the brakes; -having served their sole purpose in attracting a following driver's attention to need for braking. A following driver being thus able to react substantially sooner than viewing conventional stoplights only; -thereby significantly shortening the braking response-time. Additionally, exemplary circuits teach wiring the preferably solid-state electrical-module with directional-signal lights, as well as the 4-Way / Emergency-flasher system.
