[Summary][Problem] To provide a load compensation device which can compensate loads on a working arm, and has excellent safety and durability.[Means of Resolution] A working arm 104 is supported by a first pivot-mounting part 103 on a supporting body 102, an actuator cylinder 105 is supported by a second pivot-mounting part 107 above the first pivot-mounting part 103, and a piston rod 108 of the actuator cylinder 105 is linked to a third pivot-mounting part 109 of the working arm 104. A piston rod 112 of a compensation cylinder 110 is linked to a movable frame 113, and a piston 112A of the compensation cylinder 110 is urged upward by means of a compression coil spring 114 which pushes the movable frame 113 upward. The actuator cylinder 105 and the compensation cylinder 110 are linked by the inside of a conduit 115, and when the working arm 104 is pivoted, the displacement of the piston of the actuator cylinder 105 urges the piston of the compensation cylinder 110, a torque which balances the load torque of a load W on the working arm 4 is generated, and a balanced state is maintained regardless of the angle of the working arm 104.

The invention relates to a mechanism for triggering a gasbag which is arranged below the surface of a dashboard or a paneling of a vehicle. Gasbags of this type are generally referred to as airbags and are filled with a propellant. When the airbag is triggered, the pressure of the puffing-out sack actuates a flap 8 which is provided at its outer end with a connecting element 13. The connecting element can be designed as a slack tension cable, stiff lever or as a strap. When the airbag is actuated, the flap 8 is rotated about its hinge point and pulled rearward (i.e. away from the person to be protected) by the connecting element. This releases an opening in the vehicle interior paneling for the passage of the airbag. The arrangement of the airbag and of the flap require minimal depth dimensions for the airbag construction in the dashboard and therefore permits greater freedom in the configuration of the dashboard and therefore leads to greater space within the vehicle.

The structural elements (12, 14, 16, 18) have a greater extent (Xh, Xr) in the rub direction (X_A) than in a direction of the abradable structure (10) that is orthogonal to the rub direction (X_A).

A flexible foil having double-sided conductor patterns of a satisfactorily conducting material (gold, silver, nickel) is used in the interconnection of conductor patterns of a display device (LCD, OLED), which enhances the freedom of design.

In a slider of a linear motion guide unit, a carriage in the slider is cut away at undersides thereof to form concaves in which tubular members defining return passages therein are placed. This is in favor of reduced machining cost. The slider is composed of the carriage having an upper portion and side bulges, end caps secured on ends of the carriage, and tubular members installed closely outside the bulges of the carriage in the sliding direction. Sidewise underparts of the carriage is cut away to provide the concaves into which the tubular members fit with tube ends being kept in spigots which communicate with turnaround passages in the end caps.

In order to allow for maximum freedom of design in the selection of an electrode or battery shape, a compact configuration and low production costs, the invention specifies a battery electrode and a method for producing same, wherein a collector substrate is coated with a coating film and at least one arrester region is produced thereon by removing the coating film by means of laser ablation.

A network processor system includes a network processor 1, which is provided with a number of interfaces 9, 11, 13, 15, 19, including one or more Ethernet interfaces 9, 11 and a UART interface 19, which can be used to load a software package into the network processor 1. The software package can thus be modified when required, or when the software package previously stored in the network processor system is corrupted. The Ethernet data packets received on the Ethernet interfaces 9, 11 are in a special format, which the network processor 1 can recognize, to distinguish them from conventional Ethernet packets. Thus, the network processor 1 does not have to be programmed to handle the full range conventional Ethernet data packets. The network processor 1 is provided with a second external non-volatile data storage device 7 in the form of a EEPROM memory 7. The EEPROM memory 7 provides a writable extension of the internal ROM memory of the network processor. It can, for example, be used to store the parameters of other components of a network processor system (e.g. a flash memory 5) so that the network processor 1 can be used in conjunction with components of a wide range of types.

The invention is directed to a blood pressure monitoring device comprising a central parts mounting module and to a method of manufacturing this parts mounting module. According to the invention fluid channels are produced by gas injection into the interior of the parts mounting module, the walls bounding the fluid channels being completely formed by the material of the parts mounting module. The injection of gas continues for as long as a core of the parts mounting module is still in the liquid phase in the area of the fluid channel, whilst an outer area surrounding the core has already solidified, so that the pressure fluid expels the liquid core area, producing a tubular fluid channel.

In summary, the invention relates to a method for forming an end-side toothing arrangement of a roiling bearing, in particular a wheel bearing. The aim is to improve the uniformity of the end-side toothing arrangement and to allow a greater tooth depth. This is achieved by two method steps in that, in a first step before the reshaping of an end piece of a hub, a die is axially arranged on the rolling bearing in a preassembled state and, in a second step during the reshaping of the end piece and the shaping of the end-side toothing arrangement, the die radially delimits a radial recess of the rolling rivet collar as it forms. In addition, the die reduces or prevents radial widening of the inner ring.

A method is disclosed for the fabrication of a tunable radio frequency (RF) power output filter that includes fabricating a core body and then forming a plastically deformable metallic shell over the exterior surface of the core body.
