A surgical instrument with articulated jaw structure includes a frame and two jaws. The jaws have proximal portions that are mounted to each other for movement in a substantially parallel relation between a fully open position wherein the jaws are separated for receiving tissue therebetween and an approximated position wherein the jaws are closer together. Preferably, the jaws are in the fully open position when the distal portion of at least of the jaws is located in an extended position and are in the approximated position when the distal portion of the extended jaw or jaws is located in a retracted position. The surgical instrument may further include a detachable knife assembly and knife actuating mechanism.

The measuring transducer includes a transducer housing, as well as an internal part arranged in the transducer housing. The internal part includes at least one curved measuring tube vibrating, at least at times, during operation and serving for conveying the medium, as well as a counteroscillator affixed to the measuring tube on the inlet-side, accompanied by formation of a coupling zone, and to the measuring tube on the outlet-side, accompanied by the formation of a coupling zone. The internal part is held oscillatably in the transducer housing, at least by means of two connecting tube pieces, via which the measuring tube communicates during operation with the pipeline and which are so oriented with respect to one another, as well as with respect to an imaginary longitudinal axis of the measuring transducer, that the internal part can move during operation in the manner of a pendulum about the longitudinal axis. Counteroscillator of the measuring transducer of the invention is formed by means of two counteroscillator plates, of which a first counteroscillator plate is arranged on the left side of the measuring tube and a second counteroscillator plate is arranged on the right side of the measuring tube.

A retaining mechanism for a multi-section slide track assembly includes a stop actuating assembly and a resilient retainer assembly. The stop actuating assembly is provided on an intermediate slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly while the resilient retainer assembly is provided on an outer slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly. To retain a return movement of the intermediate slide track, the stop actuating assembly is directly engaged with the resilient retainer assembly to provide a high-degree effective operation of retaining reliability. The stop actuating assembly includes a stop-engaging member and a resiliently actuating member combined therewith. The resilient retainer assembly correspondingly includes a resilient stop member which can be engaged with the stop-engaging member for positioning the intermediate slide track, and can be actuated by the resiliently actuating member for releasing the intermediate slide track.

Several filter apparatus employing such a membrane are also disclosed.

A method for separating sucrose and a second dissolved component from a sucrose-containing solution, preferably a beet-derived sucrose-containing solution, wherein the solution is subjected to a first fractionation by a continuous or sequential chromatographic simulated moving bed process to yield a sucrose-enriched fraction and a fraction enriched with the second dissolved component. The resulting fraction enriched with the second component is subjected to a second chromatographic fractionation that is a simulated moving bed or batch type process, to yield a second sucrose-enriched fraction and a second fraction enriched with the second dissolved component wherein both fractions have an improved yield or purity.

This invention provides methods for separating gas components from a gas stream. The methods are particularly advantageous in that an environmentally friendly biomass absorbent is used to assist in the separation process. The invention is particularly suited to separate water soluble gas components from a gas stream. The water soluble gas components can be used to condition the biomass for additional use, such as a conditioned feed for a biofuel. In general, the conditioned biomass will have increased enzyme digestibility, making the conditioned biomass highly suitable as feedstock for biofuel production.

A demodulator circuit (DMOD) for amplitude-modulated signals is defined which comprises a threshold switch module (SWS), wherein a signal output (SA) of the threshold switch module (SWS) is connected to the output (DA) of the demodulator circuit (DMOD) and a signal input (SE) of the threshold switch module (SWS) is connected via a first capacitor (C1) to the input (E) of the demodulator circuit (DMOD). In addition, the signal input (SE) can be connected via a coupling element (KO) to a first or alternatively a second.

An electrical plug-in connector having a first housing part and having a second housing part, blade contact elements being arranged in the first or second housing part and spring contact elements being arranged in the second or first housing part which are adapted to the blade contacts and can be inserted therein, has a locking clip which, when it engages around the first or second housing part in a manner substantially parallel to the plug-in direction when the two housing parts are plugged into each other, can be locked in or on the second or first housing part.

A vehicle charge air cooler having an exhaust gas recirculation mixer integrated into the inlet, inlet manifold, outlet, or outlet manifold takes advantage of the incremental tooling opportunities associated with those components, as well as reducing the number of components and potential leak points in the exhaust gas recirculation system.

An arrangement for providing a lubrication device for a stage-geared gearbox (1, 2) arranged in a motor vehicle. The gearbox (1, 2) has an input shaft (4), intermediate shaft (5), which has at least one gear meshing with a gear on the input shaft (4). A main shaft (6) is provided with gears (7, 8, 9, 10) which mesh with gears on the intermediate shaft. One gear (11, 18) on both the intermediate shaft (5) and the main shaft (6) are for reverse. A reverse gear shaft (20) is supported in the casing (16, 21) and in a reverse gear shaft lug (22), the reverse gear shaft lug in turn being fixed in the casing (16). A reverse intermediate gear (19) is arranged on the reverse gear shaft (20) between the reverse gear shaft lug (22) and the bearing point for the reverse gear shaft in the casing (21). The reverse intermediate gear (19) meshes with the two corresponding gears (11, 18) for reverse gears.
