A closure for a tubular access port in a medical fluid flow line or other container comprises a removable cap for enclosing and sealing the tubular access port. The cap has a closed end wall. The end wall carries an extending poker to facilitate the pushing of an antiseptic-carrying material into a lumen of the access port. The poker has an outer diameter that is less than the inner diameter of the access port. A method of using the poker is also described.

Provided is a refrigerator. While a user is holding an object in both hands, a door may be automatically and additionally opened using another part of a body other than hands.

An ink composition which can be used to form an image having excellent metallic luster and excellent abrasion resistance is provided, and a printed article in which the image having excellent metallic luster and excellent abrasion resistance is formed is provided. Such an ink composition is ejected by an ink jet technique and contains silver particles, wax particles, and water. The wax particles are contained in an amount that is in the range from 0.02 to 1.5 weight %. Assuming that the average diameter of the silver particles is D₁ [nm] and that the average diameter of the wax particles is D₂ [nm], the relationship of 0.98≦D₂/D₁≦5.40 is satisfied.

A vertical and trench type insulated gate MOS semiconductor device is provided in which the surfaces of p-type channel regions and the surfaces of portions of an n-type semiconductor substrate alternate in the longitudinal direction of the trench between the trenches arranged in parallel, and an n⁺-type emitter region selectively formed on the surface of the p-type channel region is wide by the side of the trench and becomes narrow toward the center point between the trenches. This enables the device to achieve low on-resistance and enhanced turn-off capability.

The invention relates to a method, testing arrangement, simulator and software program for evaluating quality of a transmission channel or a transmission device or a codec. The evaluation is made by using multimedia stream including voice and video frames. The multimedia frames used in the evaluation are generated by using fractal functions both in the transmitting device and the receiving device.

A device for measuring the mass rate of flow according to the Coriolis principle, with two measurement tubes at least in one section of which runs in a common plane, and a connector by which the two measurement tubes are connected to one another where they run in a common plane. The connector has a stiffening plate which is parallel to the common plane of the measurement tubes and which is attached to the two measurement tubes. At least one stiffening fin is provided on the stiffening plate so that the bending stiffness of the connector for bending in the common plane of the measurement tubes in which, generally, excitation vibrations of the measurement tubes also take place, is made greater than the torsional stiffness of the connector for torsional vibrations. As a result, the measurement accuracy of the Coriolis mass flow rate measurement device is improved.

A data processing apparatus having a memory configured to store tables having virtual to physical address translations, a cache configured to store a subset of the virtual to physical address translations and cache management circuitry configured to control transactions received from the processor requesting virtual address to physical address translations. The data processing apparatus identifies where a faulting transaction has occurred during execution of a context and whether the faulting transaction has a transaction stall or transaction terminate fault. The cache management circuitry is responsive to identification of the faulting transaction having a transaction terminate fault to invalidate all address translations in the cache that relate to the context of the faulting transaction such that a valid bit associated with each entry in the cache is set to invalid for the address translations.

A high thermal efficiency reciprocating hydrogen-fueled engine for ultra-high altitude long endurance flight and its method of operation are described. The engine is based on an opposed piston barrel design where long cylinders are employed to accommodate extraordinarily large compression and expansion strokes where the corresponding ratios are over 50:1, taking advantage of the very low ambient air pressures and temperatures at 60,000 ft and higher to reduce the overall weight and strength requirements of the inventive engine that would be a factor for operation at lower altitudes. The engine is designed to obtain more than 70% indicated thermal efficiency when operated at ultra-high altitudes of 60,000 ft and greater. A combination of large compression ratios combustion temperature optimization and management, instantaneous and complete combustion at TDC, followed by a rapid and long expansion stroke using tailored control of piston movement provide the means to achieve such high efficiencies.

In a heat slug and a semiconductor package including the same, the heat slug includes a thermal conductive body having an active face and a dissipating face opposite to the active face, a dielectric layer covering the active face of the body, at least one thermoelectric element arranged on the dielectric layer and a conductive pattern arranged on the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the thermoelectric element. The electrical characteristics of the thermoelectric element are interacted with heat generated from a heat source.

An oil-impregnated sintered bearing which does not tend to produce squealing noises is provided. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing can be used as a bearing of an electric motor that may be intermittently used for a short time, such as a bearing of a window regulator motor. The oil-impregnated sintered bearing includes pores that include middle-sized pores with circle-equivalent diameters of 45 to 63 μm at 0.9 to 2.5%, interparticle pores with circle-equivalent diameters of 63 to 75 μm at 0.1 to 1.2%, and large interparticle pores with circle-equivalent diameters of larger than 75 μm at not more than 3%, with respect to the total number of the pores.

An internally ventilated brake disc includes at least two friction rings, which are held apart from each other by ribs, and air blades, which are fastened to the brake disc and which extend essentially from the inner circumference of a friction ring in the radial direction by a defined amount in the direction of the axis of rotation of the brake disc. The air blades function to deliver a cooling air flow through the space between the friction rings when the brake disc is rotating. The air blades are formed by one or more sheet metal part(s) that is or are connected to at least some of the ribs. This connection can be by material bonding or can be shape locking or force locking. The air blades are machined out of a sheet metal ring and, thus, form an integral sheet metal part, wherein the sheet metal ring is provided with a plurality of clamps or clips for a shape-locking connection to the ribs and is not formed so as to be closed.

The invention relates to an apparatus for determining a number of beams in IMRT. An objective function providing unit (13) provides an objective function of an IMRT procedure, wherein the objective function depends on a target dose to be applied during the IMRT procedure. A sensitivity determination unit (14) determines the sensitivity of the objective function with respect to changes of the target dose, and a beam number determination unit (15) determines the number of beams depending on the determined sensitivity. It has been found that the sensitivity of the objective function with respect to changes of the target dose is an accurate measure for reliably determining an optimized number of beams in IMRT, which allows for generating a high quality treatment plan and which in turn leads to an improved IMRT procedure.
