A structural reinforcement for a hollow member comprising a rigid reinforcing member having a shape that substantially conforms to the cross section of the hollow member to be reinforced with an expandable adhesive material over at least a portion of the surface of the structural reinforcement having one or more extensions on its external surface which control and direct the direction in which the adhesive material expands to bond the reinforcing member to the internal surface of the hollow member, some of the extensions also provide improved reinforcement.

The invention discloses a fixing device for neutralizing actions between two vertebral bodies, in particular a fixing device for neutralizing or countervailing actions between two adjacent vertebral bodies. The fixing device is a plate-shaped body, one side of the plate-shaped body is provided with a nail part, and the fixing device is embedded into two corresponding vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs by the nail part. When necessary, the fixing device also can be matched with a support assembly, such as a metal cage, and embedded into the intervertebral discs of the two corresponding vertebral bodies. Therefore, the fixing device can effectively control actions between the two vertebral bodies, such as forward bending, backward bending, left and right incline, left and right turn,and the like, and enable an autogenous bone embedded between the two adjacent vertebral bodies not to generate the problem of non-union or psuedarthrosis because of actions between the vertebral bodies before completely inosculated with the vertebral bodies.

A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes an insulating substrate, a semiconductor chip, a plate member, and a cooler. The insulating substrate includes insulating ceramics serving as an insulating plate, and conductive plates provided on opposite surfaces of the insulating ceramics. The semiconductor chip is provided on an upper surface of the insulating substrate. The plate member is bonded to a lower surface of the insulating substrate. The cooler is bonded to a lower surface of the plate member. At least one of bonding between a lower surface of the insulating substrate and the plate member and bonding between a lower surface of the plate member and the cooler is performed via a bonding member composed mainly of tin. Also, a cyclic stress of the plate member is smaller than a tensile strength of the bonding member.

A spiral spring for a reclining adjustment mechanism for a vehicle seat in which ridges are formed on both ends in a direction perpendicular to a coiling direction of a surface of a spring plate member formed by a band-like steel plate having high hardness so that the ridges project from the surface, projected surfaces of the ridges are curved, and the spring plate member is spirally formed into a coil. The spring plate member has a pitch coiled structure in which a gap between an intermediate spring plate member and an inner spring plate member is formed to be smaller than a gap between an outer spring plate member and the intermediate spring plate member. An engagement piece bent in the radial direction is formed at the end of the outer spring plate member, and an engagement coiled core section is formed in the inner spring plate member.

A diagonal brace apparatus for an implement frame includes a bias element connected to a front location on a front portion of the implement frame and connected to a rear location on a rear portion of the implement frame laterally offset from the front location. The bias element is operative to exert a bias force resisting rearward movement of an outer end of the implement frame with respect to an inner end of the implement frame. Conveniently the bias element is provided by a hydraulic cylinder which exerts a bias force and can extend to allow the frame to flex to reduce shock loading on the implement when excessive forces are exerted on the frame.

The present invention provides a novel clutch connector assembly for jointed pipe, threaded pipe, coiled tubing or any threaded or non-threaded pipe for a bottom hole assembly that eliminates the need to use screw threads to mate two pipes or mechanical assemblies, harbors a spring-loaded mechanical locking system in addition in to a pressure-activated, component protectant system, requires no significant tools, other than an Allen wrench or similar screw setting device, permits distributed torque loading, allows for movement in either a clockwise or counter clockwise rotational direction through interlocking castellations and presents a removeable and replaceable valve assembly preventing retrograde hydrocarbon advancement through a drilling pipe.

The invention discloses a vertical stop catch with a wear plate and a method for preventing fracture of a steel spring. The wear plate is embedded to the top of a rubber body, and the rigidity of the vertical stop catch can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter or height of the wear plate; a base is embedded into the rubber body and is used for limiting the rubber body of the vertical stop catch, and the rigidity of the vertical stop catch can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the base; the upper end of the rubber body is configured to have two or more annular flat-straight sections, and the variable rigidity of the vertical stop catch can be adjusted by adjusting an included angle between the annular flat-straight sections and a horizontal plane; and by adjusting the rigidity, the variable rigidity and a limiting position of the vertical stop catch, the vertical load born by the steel spring can be reduced, and metal fatigues generated by the steel spring during running of a locomotive can be reduced, thereby preventing the fracture of the steel spring. The vertical stop catch also has the characteristics that the structure is firm and cannot be damaged easily, the wear plate, the rubber body and the base are combined compactly and cannot be loosened and divorced easily, and the vertical stop catch is wide in application range and strong in universality.
