A food emulator for the production of an edible article that can substitute for a food item and that includes a carrier element formed of an edible material and an information element disposed on one or more surface of the carrier element. The one or more information element includes information related to the food item. The information may be one or more of a flavoring agent, a coloring agent or a texturing agent, for example. Different types and combinations of information may be provided by way of the information element and / or the carrier element to substitute for food items.

An acupuncture device consists of an acupuncture needle and a guide tube having a longitudinal slot or notch at the upper end of the tube, which is wider than the diameter of the needle handle. A practitioner can easily secure the upper portion of the handle in this notch by pressing on the handle of the needle with an index finger. In the case of angular insertions, the practitioner can maintain a desirable diagonal position of the needle inside the guide tube. The acupuncture operation is facilitated by making a larger portion of the needle handle projecting from the guide tube through the notch. According to another embodiment, the device is provided with a sleeve of a C-shaped configuration, which is fit onto the upper end of the guide tube. When the open part of the C-shaped configuration does not coincide with the aforementioned notch, and the handle of the needle stays inside the guiding tube, the whole device can be used in a conventional fashion. When the open part of the C-shaped configuration coincides with the aforementioned notch, the needle handle can be pushed through the notch, and when the sleeve is turned so that the groove is overlapped, the needle handle will be deflected and fixed between the lower edge of the sleeve and the bottom of the notch.

A quick assembly clip for a fence post has first and second walls substantially parallel to each other and a third wall which extends between the first and second walls of the body. The first wall of the body has first and second tabs extending from opposite edges of the first wall. The second wall of the body has at least a third tab extending from an edge of the second wall. The clip engages the first wall of the post. The first and second tabs engage an inner surface of the first wall of the post. A cap is installed on the post. The third and fourth tabs engage an inner surface of the cap thereby securing the cap to the post.

A temperature sensing and limiting device is described for use in a radiant electric heater (8) incorporating at least one heating element (14). The device comprises an elongate tubular housing (1) adapted to at least partly traverse the heater so as to be heated externally by the heating element. A component (4) is provided within the housing and provides an electrical parameter which changes as a function of temperature. At least a thermal-sensing portion (11) of a thermally-responsive bimetallic cut-out device (10) is provided within the housing (1), the cut-out device being adapted to deenergize the heater (8) at a predetermined temperature.

A cover assembly for a seat belt guide loop is disclosed having a first, outer cover portion connected by an elongate, thin connector member such as a tether with a second, inner cover portion. The outer cover portion is mounted to the vehicle via a bolt that pivotally mounts and anchors the guide loop. The head of the bolt is left exposed for a torque test or the like; and, then the tethered inner cover is assembled to the outer cover by a snap fit of one to the other. In one form, the tether may be integrally attached to one of the cover members and manually connected by an enlarged free end to the other cover member to tether the cover members together. The tether is hidden from view within the assembly cover portions after cover assembly. In another form, the tether may be a discrete part that is later connected to each of the respective cover portions.

A battery module which has a structure that can apply an approximately uniform pressure to electrodes contained in the battery module. A battery module including two or more unit cells and a hermetically closed housing for housing the two or more unit cells and a fluid, each unit cell including one or more stack units and a cell case for housing the one or more stack units, each stack unit including at least a positive electrode, an electrolyte layer and a negative electrode stacked together, wherein the two or more unit cells are stacked in a direction that is substantially the same as a stacking direction of the one or more stack units, and wherein a gap member is present between the stacked unit cells, the gap member being configured to allow the fluid to flow into the gap member.

A crib has two sets of bi-fold doors which allows access by a wheel-chair-bound care giver and is provided with childproof latches in the form of upper and lower spring-biased actuators which must be simultaneously activated to allow opening of the bi-fold doors. Spring-biased safety bars may additionally be positioned to prevent the bi-fold doors from being opened by an unauthorized person.

A deck plate assembly is provided for mounting between the first and second frame members of a truck. The assembly includes a horizontally disposed deck plate which is positioned between the first and second frames. Structure is provided for securing the deck plate to the first and second frame members.

An electronic component includes an insulating base material including insulating base material layers, a first main surface that is a mounting surface, a coil, mounting electrodes provided on the first main surface, and a projection. The coil includes coil conductors provided on the insulating base material layers and a winding axis in a laminating direction of the insulating base material layers. The projection is provided in an electrode non-forming portion of the first main surface, the electrode non-forming portion including no mounting electrodes therein, and provided along the coil conductors in planar view of the first main surface.

The present invention discloses a high-strength support assembly structure, which utilizes a fastening cover part that can be slidably sleeved onto a C-type steel and an opening side thereof and a flexible internal stand; the flexible internal stand is placed inside of the C-type steel, and the internal stand and the fastening cover part are correspondingly fastened at the opening side of the C-type steel, such that the opening side of the C-type steel can serve as a connecting end or a bearing side. The present invention also discloses using or stacking a single or a plurality of connecting plates, so as to allow one C-type steel to be correspondingly joined to another C-type steel in order to expand a length thereof, or to adapt the C-type steel for serving as a corner.
