An adjusting device with a mounting fixture (4) for mounting a wafer (2) on a mounting side (4a) of the mounting fixture (4), whereby the mounting fixture has at least one through-hole (5) directed essentially orthogonal to the mounting side (4a), is characterised in that the through-hole (5) on the mounting side (4a) has a smaller cross-section than on the entrance side (4b) of the through-hole (5) facing away from the mounting side (4a).

A height-adjusting foot for a household appliance includes an adjuster housing solidly connected to an appliance housing. A vertical threaded shaft is form-lockingly guided in the adjuster housing. A foot plate is connected to the threaded shaft. A nut which is rotatably supported in the adjuster housing and is screwed on the threaded shaft, has an outer periphery with a worm wheel. A worm is rotatably supported in the adjuster housing for driving the worm wheel. An adjusting rod is connected to...

There is disclosed an improved adjusting mechanism for an articulated headlamp construction or the like. The adjusting mechanism is comprised of a minimum number of parts, namely a housing, a scroll member and an adjusting rack member. The scroll member provides the input member for the mechanism and upon rotation thereof rotative movement thereof is transformed into transitory movement of the rack member pursuant to a spiral or scroll projection that is engaged with teeth on the adjusting rack ...

At the start of a process, an information presenting section presents information expressed by a solution vector, while an auxiliary information presenting section presents information for facilitating comparative evaluation of multiple pieces of information being presented simultaneously. Based on these pieces of information, the user evaluates each solution vector. A model estimation executing section generates an evaluation model for an adjustment process from a user evaluation history, and t...

An adjusting apparatus for adjusting sound volume or sound quality of a signal reproduced from a music source in which an electronic volume section has a group of analog switches. The apparatus includes a signal generating means which generates a signal for switching the group of analog switches at the approximately zero-cross point of the reproduced signal of the music source.

An object of the invention is to provide a hue adjusting device and a hue adjusting method that adjust finely the hue of a color image signal. The CPU calculates an off set matrix B that is in a pair with an off set matrix A to a central matrix X when the matrix X and the off set matrix A are inputted from an operating part. Then the CPU carries out the following operation when a parameter a is inputted from the operating part. It is possible to execute matrix conversion to adjust the hue by set...

An apparatus for adjusting the position of a work mounted on a machine tool. A base is fixed to a work table of the machine tool, and the position of a mounting member is adjusted with respect to the base. The work is mounted on a mounting surface of the mounting member. The positions in the Z-axis direction of central portions of the four sides of the mounting member are adjusted by first driving and fixing members so that a work surface of the work is along an X-Y plane. The position where the...

A self-adjusting fan vane of synthetic resin has a narrow, thickened, inflexible portion at the leading edge attached to the periphery of the fan hub and an elastically flexible vane flap attached to the inflexible vane portion and freely movable in respect thereto. A latticed insert is embedded in the vane, the insert having a first set of webs extending rectilinearly along a concave surface of the vane in a direction tangential to the periphery of the hub and a second set of webs extending in ...

A spark plug adjusting tool for adjusting the spacing between the electrodes of a spark plug. The tool is threadedly secured to the threads of the spark plug and an adjusting screw or screws are provided for applying a force to the deformable electrode. One form of the invention is for use on automotive spark plugs where only one pair of electrodes are involved. Another form of the invention is for aircraft spark plugs in which one stationary central electrode is provided and a plurality of defo...

The adjustably mounted stator blades are movable in a linear manner by means of adjusting rings which are both rotatable about the axis of the turbomachine and slidable longitudinally, i.e. axially, of the turbomachine. The adjusting rings are interconnected by resilient twistable strips which are each anchored in a pivotal manner on the stator blade support. The adjusting rings are driven by servo pistons which are connected to one of the adjusting rings.
