Apparatus is provided for diagnosing or treating an organ or vessel, wherein a device having at least two optical fiber sensors disposed in a distal extremity thereof is coupled to processing logic programmed to compute a multi-dimensional force vector responsive to detected changes in the optical characteristics of the optical fiber sensors arising from deflection of the distal extremity resulting from contact with the tissue of the wall of the organ or vessel. The force vector may be used to facilitate manipulation of the catheter either directly or automatically using a robotic system.

Apparatus is provided for diagnosing or treating an organ or vessel, wherein a device having at optical fiber contact force sensors disposed in a distal extremity thereof and a deflection mechanism configured to deflect the elongate body at a location proximal of the distal extremity. The optical fiber contact force sensors are configured to be coupled to processing logic programmed which computes a force vector responsive to detected changes in the optical characteristics of the optical fiber contact force sensors arising from deflection of the distal extremity resulting from contact with the tissue of the wall of the organ or vessel.

An aeroponic growing system, double T-shaped sprayer design and method for cultivating larger plant crops and increasing harvest frequency. The system comprises a series of aeroponic growing units, each of which supports a plant's roots within an enclosure. The enclosure houses a sprayer, an interior volume of plant nutrient solution and a plumbing system for accepting and distributing the aqueous water-nutrient solution. The internal sprayer is a double T-shaped mister that sprays an atomized mist directed from a first set of nozzles onto the plant roots, along with a second set of nozzles directed toward the base of the enclosure to aerate the interior volume of plant nutrient solution. The T-shaped mister provides circumferential coverage of the plant roots, while the aeration of the plant nutrient solution provides an aerated solution that accelerates plant growth through a hybrid process of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) called a Hyperactive Aeroponic Shallow Water Culture (HAS Culture). Several interconnected aeroponic growing units may be stationed in a parallel grid to provide ample space for rapid growth of crops, while supplying the water and nutrient solution through a network of pipes and tubes between units.

The invention discloses an SBW (steer-by-wire) device with a redundancy function and a control method. The SBW device with the redundancy function comprises a road feel simulation actuator, a steeringactuator and an SBW control module, wherein the steering actuator comprises a first gear-rack mechanism, a first rack travel sensor, a first steering motor controller, a first steering motor, a firststeering motor rotor position sensor, a second gear-rack mechanism, a second rack travel sensor, a second steering motor controller, a second steering motor, a second steering motor rotor position sensor and a steering engine. By means of the redundant first steering motor and first steering motor controller as well as the redundant second steering motor and second steering motor controller, theSBW system can still steer normally once a fault occurs, and safety of passengers in a vehicle is guaranteed.

An electrical box with sidewalls having a front edge and a flange extending transversely from the sidewalls at a set distance from the front edge. Knockouts in the sidewalls include multiple removable sections, which can be removed selectively as desired to create large or small openings for electrical cables. The sidewalls of the electrical box include an opening therein and a panel that can be inserted into the opening. The panel includes an internal mounting arrangement with captive fasteners for securing the electrical box to a stud. The flange provides a sealing surface for contacting the vapor barrier surrounding the box and thereby seals around the periphery of the electrical box. Duct seal is applied around the periphery of the cables at the knockout areas to provide an airtight seal for the electrical cables entering the electrical box.

The four wheel vehicle uses an electric motor (142) for driving the vehicle and a battery unit (160) for supplying electric power to the electric motor. The lower chassis (5) of the vehicle includes a pair of front side frames (10) extending linearly in a fore and aft direction with an upward slant and a progressively increasing lateral mutual spacing from a front part thereof to a rear part thereof and a plurality of cross members (14, 16, 18) connecting the front side frames to each other. The battery unit is positioned between the two front side frames such that the battery unit overlaps with the front side frames in side view. Thereby, the battery unit can be effectively protected from side impacts.

A nursing garment in which the front panel is divided into upper and lower sections whereby the upper section is overlaps and is attached to the lower section via a detachable seam extending horizontally across the front of the garment below the breast. Optionally nursing pads are placed into annular pockets.

A ceiling mount bicycle rack provides for easy loading through the use of downwardly transversely opening wheel hooks that may receive the tires of a bicycle when flipped about the bicycle's upper structure by a user through a gentle arc. After installation on the rack, the bicycle may be slid along longitudinal tracks for storage in a more compact configuration in a less accessible location.

A tea-leaf boxing machine comprises a rack, as well as a paper box bin component, an air suction mechanism, a paper box forming module component, a paper box pressure block component, a paper box lug folding mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a material incoming and box outgoing push mechanism, a box gluing mechanism, a paper box shaping mechanism and an intermittent indexing drive device which are mounted on the rack, wherein the paper box bin component comprises a paper box bin and a paper box pressure block which are located on the same straight line, and the paper box pressure block is located above paper box forming modules; the air suction mechanism is arranged below the paper box bin component, and connected with a first rocker arm of a main transmission shaft; and the paper box forming module component comprises the paper box forming modules and a synchronous belt, the paper box forming modules are uniformly distributed on the synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt is connected with the intermittent indexing drive device. The invention provides the tea-leaf boxing machine which can perform mechanization packing, reduce the cost, and improve the efficiency.

The invention discloses a plunger type motor pump, and belongs to a plunger pump. The problems of weak strength and low overall power density of a cylinder of the conventional plunger motor pump are solved. According to the plunger type motor pump, a motor stator is assembled in a housing. The two ends of the cylinder are supported in the centers of a left end cover and a right end cover respectively. A motor rotor is sleeved on and fixedly connected with a lug boss on the middle part of the cylinder. N plunger cavities are reserved in each of the left and right end faces of the lug boss of the cylinder. A plunger piston shoe component is arranged in each plunger cavity. Suction and forcing valve components are arranged in correspondence to each plunger piston shoe component on the lug boss of the cylinder. A left swash plate is fixed on the inner side of the left end cover, and a right swash plate is fixed on the inner side of the right end cover. The plate surfaces of the left and right swash plates are parallel. Every two coaxial plunger piston shoe components are pressed against each other through a support rod, and piston shoe heads at the two ends are pressed on the plate surfaces of the left and right swash plates respectively. Reverse thrust generated between the plunger piston shoe components at the two ends and the swash plates and hydraulic acting force in the cylinder are transmitted through the support rods, and internal reacting force is fully utilized, so that the number of the parts is decreased, the overall strength of the pump is strengthened, and the internal space utilization rate of the cylinder is increased.
