A bone reamer has an ablation device for forming cavities in body tissue, the ablation device is movable with respect to a head of the reamer, and is capable of protruding at least partially beyond a surface of the head. The amount of protrusion the ablation device protrudes beyond the surface of the head has a variable geometry and the geometry is remotely modifiable. More particularly, the amount the ablation device extends beyond the outer surface of a reamer head body can be varied by an actuator located on the reamer outside the body.

In the manufacturing method of a GOLD structured TFT having a gate electrode of double-layered structure, in which, compared to a second layer gate electrode, the first layer gate electrode is thinner in film thickness and longer in dimension of the channel direction, by controlling the density of the photo-absorbent contained in a positive type resist, which contains a photo-absorbent of diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ)-novolac resin series, the taper angle of the side wall is controlled to a desired angle range so that the angle thereof becomes smaller. Owing to this, it is possible to control the retreat amount of the resist when carrying out dry etching and the dimension of Lov area to a desired dimensional range so that the dimension thereof becomes larger.

A sealing assembly insertable between a stationary outer ring and a rotating inner ring of a bearing or hub bearing unit, having a first C-shaped shield supported by the inner ring and a second L-shaped shield supported by the outer ring. The first shield has a first annular sealing element having a first annular lip that extends axially cantilevered from the flange portion of the second shield in a position facing a radially outer sleeve shaped portion of the first shield and a second annular lip, elastically deformable, arranged radially on the inside of the first lip and which cooperates in contact with a radially inner sleeve shaped portion of the first shield, which carries a second sealing element having a third annular lip, which extends axially cantilevered from the first shield and towards the second shield and which is radially interposed between the first and the second lip.

The invention relates to a length-adjustable con rod (1) for a reciprocating piston engine, particularly an internal combustion engine, having at least a first and a second rod part (2, 4), wherein the two rod parts (2, 4) can be pushed together and/or inside one another in a telescoping manner, wherein the second rod part (4) forms a guide cylinder (4a) and the first rod part (2) a piston element (3) which can be pushed longitudinally in the guide cylinder (4a), wherein a high-pressure chamber (4b), into which at least one oil channel (10) opens, is clamped between the first and the second rod parts (2, 4). To enable the compression ratio to be adjusted in the simplest and most reliable manner possible, according to the invention the two rod parts (2, 4) can be fixed, by a locking device (32), relative to one another in at least one position, preferably corresponding to a minimum length of the con rod (1).

The invention presents a sound dampening flow channel device defining at least one flow channel having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, the flow channel being at least partly delimited by at least one acoustic energy dissipative wall. The outlet opening of the flow channel cannot be seen from the inlet opening and vice versa. Preferably, the acoustic energy dissipative wall presents, in relation to the interior of the flow channel, a smooth curvature.

A synthesizer is disclosed in which a speech waveform is synthesized by selecting a synthetic starting waveform segment and then generating a sequence of further segments. The further waveform segments are generated based jointly upon the value of the immediately-preceding segment and upon a model of the dynamics of an actual sound similar to that being generated. In particular, a method is disclosed of a voiced speech sound comprising calculating each new output value from the previous output value using data modeling the evolution, over a short time interval, of the voiced speech sound to be synthesized. This sequential generation of waveform segments enables a synthesized sequence of speech waveforms to be generated of any duration. In addition, a low-dimensional state space representation of speech signals are used in which successive pitch pulse cycles are superimposed to estimate the progression of the cyclic speech signal within each cycle.

The invention relates to a gerotor fuel pump (2) comprising ribs (18, 19), which are located in channels (16, 17) that are configured as inlets and outlets and that are situated in housing parts (8, 9). The ribs (18, 19) are positioned transversely to the maximal extension of the cross-sections of the channels (16, 17), producing a high degree of stability in the channels (16, 17). The housing parts (8, 9) are composed of plastic.

To provide a method of manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell, capable of obtaining a uniform film thickness. The present invention is a method of manufacturing fuel cells (16), including a support body-forming step (S1) for forming a porous support body (97), a film deposition step for laminating functional layers constituting electricity generating elements on a support body; and a sintering step (S14, S16) for sintering the support body on which functional layers are formed; whereby the film deposition step includes surface deposition steps (S5, S11), in which a masking layer is formed in parts not requiring film deposition, and electricity generating elements first functional layers are simultaneously formed, and a dot deposition step (S15), in which slurry dots are formed by placing a slurry into a liquid droplet state and jetting it, and a second functional layer is formed by the agglomeration of these dots.

An apparatus for and a method of producing particles of a foodstuff is provided. A liquid form of a sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff is deposited in the form of a film or a strip on a surface of a rotating cooling roller or cooling be1t. The foodstuff is then detached in an at least partly hardened form from the surface of the cooling roller or belt for comminution to the desired particle size. In order to maintain the production of sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff particles, charging and at least partly the hardening of the sterilized or pasteurized foodstuff occurs within an enclosed sterilizable or pasteurizable vessel, and the surface of and the gas surrounding the cooling roller or the cooling belt in the zone of the charging of the foodstuff is lower than 0 ° C.
