Complex steerable catheter visualization and tissue manipulation systems and their methods of use are disclosed herein. The deployment catheter is articulated using various steering mechanisms. Tissue visualization is accomplished from the visualization hood at the distal end of the deployment catheter, the hood having an ability to expand and other features to facilitate visualization and articulation at the tissue surface.

A semiconductor device in which a lead frame having inner connecting portions and outer connecting portions, a semiconductor chip having electrodes on the surface thereof, and metal wires for electrically connecting electrodes on the semiconductor chip and the inner connecting portions of the lead frame are sealed with a sealing resin. The bottom side of the sealing resin of the inner connecting portion is covered with an inner connecting portion sealing resin.

A vehicular lamp with a light source unit that includes a main reflector for reflecting light irradiated from a first light source, a projection lens that condenses and radiates light reflected by the main reflector, and a shade that blocks a part of the light reflected by the main reflector, wherein the light source unit further includes a second light source, which is disposed on the opposite side from the projection lens provided on the shade, and the shade is formed with a light transmission portion which is an opening that allows the light irradiated from the second light source to pass therethrough to the projection lens.

A hinge enabling a plurality of hold-stay members to automatically lock when the door is fully open, increasing the durability of the hinge, and enabling easy release of the hold-stay members. A hinge includes a one-side hinge plate, a plurality of opposing-side hinge plate portions provided along the lengthwise direction of the hinge plate and supported by it, and an open-angle limiting mechanism for stopping, at a specific angle, opening movement of the opposing-side hinge plate portions.

A watering system includes a bottle unit or a water level control unit which has a float member to control the water level of the tank in a planting hole. The float member controls the operation of the water inlet valve and the water level in the bottle unit so as to control the amount of water that the planting hole provides to the soil outside the planting hole without using electricity. The plants are properly watered automatically all day long. The water permeates into the soil outside the planting hole to water the plants that are planted in a larger area. The watering system is suitable for watering the plants in a large area or in pots.

A wrist apparatus includes a case, a solar battery that is provided in the case, and a biological information measurement unit (optical sensor) that is provided in the case and measures biological information, in which the solar battery is disposed outside an outer edge of the biological information measurement unit in a plan view of a light reception surface of the solar battery.

A unique, new and useful structure and method is provided for effectively and efficiently engaging and manipulating a crossover tube of a gas turbine. The tool is manipulated to a gripping position in which it securely engages the spring loaded locks of a crossover tube while applying a reaction force to a portion of the burner basket that is associated with the crossover tube, so that manipulating the handle manipulates the crossover tube that is engaged by the tool. A preferred version of the tool has specially designed structure for coupling a handle with the gripper and follower structure such that the tool can effectively and efficiently reach and manipulate crossover tubes that are in particularly difficult to reach areas of a gas turbine.

A handle and screw facilitate the applying of soap to hard to reach areas of the body. The handle may be wood, plastic, metal, or the like and may be of various desirable lengths and shapes. The screw is a specialty item with a novel characteristic of having features enabling a bather to easily advance the screw into the handle and a bar of soap wears thinner. The head of the screw is rounded to prevent scratching the user, and the screw either includes engaging features on an underside of the screw head to cause the screw to turn and advance into the handle by turning the soap, or the screw is a barbed screw advanceable by pressing into the handle.

A medical transfer and connecting device (1) for connecting a first medical appliance with a second medical appliance, the device having an axial direction (A) and a radial direction (R) and comprising an outer part (2) having a first end (8) and a second end (9) with an end opening (10) and a bore (4) extending in the axial direction (A) between the first (8) end and the second end (9). An inner part (3) carrying a barrier member (12) and having a central canal (7) extends in the axial direction (A) and is telescopically arranged in the bore (4) in the outer part (2), the inner part (3) with the barrier member (12) being axially movable in the bore (4) in the outer part (2) between a shielding position in which the barrier member (12) is completely located within the bore (4) in the outer part (2) and a cleaning position in which the barrier member (12) is located with at least a portion of the barrier member (12) extending axially past the end opening (10) in the outer part (2).

A scenting nebulizer is described that capacitively measures the level of scenting oil in a bottle in the nebulizer without ever contacting the oil in the bottle. In addition, such capacitively measured oil levels are measured at multiple vertical levels of the bottle of scenting oil. In actual operation the capacitively measured oil level readings are very frequently measured then averaged, and the averaged figures are stored. The stored, averaged figures are interpolated against previously stored, capacitance readings made when the scenting oil bottle is full and when there is no bottle. In this manner the level of the oil is accurately determined. A plurality of processor controlled scenting nebulizers are connected to a central computer and their individual oil levels and other operational information are forwarded to the central computer where appropriate maintenance for the individual nebulizers is scheduled. The operational settings operation of the nebulizers may be programmed from the central computer.

A vehicle capable of receiving an electric power in a contactless manner includes a vehicle body and a power reception apparatus. A first region made of aluminum or formed so that a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance thereof are lower than a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance of aluminum, respectively, is provided at a position on one side in a reference direction relative to the power reception apparatus. A space and / or a second region formed so that a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance thereof are higher than the magnetic permeability and the electric resistance of the first region, respectively, is provided at a position on the other side in the reference direction. A winding axis of a power receiving coil is placed at a position deviating toward the one side in the reference direction from a central position in a vehicle width direction.
