Orthopedic support devices are provided that include a first layer of elastomeric material is attached directly atop or around a layer of a spacer material, wherein the first layer provides support and / or compression, and the second layer provides breathability and wicking and wherein characteristics of the first layer can be varied in order to vary the location, amount and / or level of compression provided by the support device.

A vacuum locking hub system is provided for a four-wheel drive vehicle that includes a cartridge-type assembly that allows the vacuum locking hub system to be inserted into the wheel as a cartridge unit for ease of assembly. The vacuum locking hub system has a compact construction allowing it to be substantially received within the wheel hub, thus reducing system mass and unit length.

A method of forming an article from an α−β titanium including, in weight percentages, from about 2.9 to about 5.0 aluminum, from about 2.0 to about 3.0 vanadium, from about 0.4 to about 2.0 iron, from about 0.2 to about 0.3 oxygen, from about 0.005 to about 0.3 carbon, from about 0.001 to about 0.02 nitrogen, and less than about 0.5 of other elements. The method comprises cold working the α−β titanium alloy.

A capper head for general purpose usable even when the specifications of a cap including thread pitches are changed without using a fixed gear and a lifting cam determining a lifting stroke and the timing thereof. The rotational output of a servo motor (2) is transmitted to a screw mechanism (4) through a sliding engagement section (3), and a screw shaft (17) is lowered while rotating for capping. The lowering stroke of the screw shaft (17) is allowed by the sliding engagement section (3). In capping, even if the strokes of a rotating chuck (7) and an output shaft (31) are different from the lowering stroke by the screw mechanism (4), a stroke difference absorption section (5) absorbs the stroke difference therebetween since a spring (23) in combination with a spline transmitting the rotation is deflected in the axial direction.

Formulations and methods to promote biological processes to form or regenerate new hard tissues such as bones, cartilage, and / or dental tissues are disclosed. The formulation enhances biological activities of a hard tissue growth and differentiation factor characterized by specific and selective upregulation and / or extension of the retention time of the intracellular enzymes and signaling molecules that play important roles to proliferate, differentiate, maturate, and / or mineralize the hard tissue forming cells.

A high-pressure pump has at least one pump element, with a pump piston which is guided displaceably in a cylinder bore of a housing part of the high-pressure pump and is driven in a reciprocating motion and defines a pump work chamber in the cylinder bore, into which chamber fuel is aspirated via an inlet valve in the intake stroke of the pump piston. The inlet valve has a pistonlike valve member, which with a sealing face cooperates with a valve seat for controlling the communication of the pump work chamber with the fuel inlet. The valve member is disposed with a head, on which the sealing face is embodied, in the pump work chamber and protrudes out of the pump work chamber with a shaft adjoining the head. The valve seat is formed in the housing part at a transition from the cylinder bore to a bore of smaller diameter adjoining the cylinder bore. With its shaft, the valve member protrudes through the bore into a region of the housing part remote from the pump work chamber, in which region a closing spring is disposed that engages the shaft of the valve member.
