An apparatus to expedite washing, drying and treatment of the skin between toes, having two resilient flexible arms attached to a handle, with sleeves of appropriate materials that can be easily secured on said apparatus.

The connection arrangement between an implant (1) and a straight or angled abutment (800) can be produced using a clamping screw (400) and an expanding ring (500). An inlet (830) is provided in the abutment (800), and near the lower end of the abutment (800) this inlet (830) is widened via a radially encircling groove (835). The expanding ring (500) through which the clamping screw (400) passes is supported in the groove (835), the head (410) of the clamping screw (400) pressing on the expanding...

A system suitable to transfer a bubble domain from one field to a second field where the field is the largest area formed by exposing a pattern and which all of the dimensions are critical is disclosed. A magnetic domain is propagated out of the first field through an outlet into an inlet of the second field. In a preferred embodiment, the width of the outlet is one to ten bubble diameters and the width of the inlet opening is two to ten bubble diameters, the inlet opening being always at least ...

Assembly is disclosed for connecting a duct to a hole in a flat sheet including a wall for receiving one surface of the flat sheet, a nozzle adapted to be sealingly connected to a duct, the nozzle protruding through and beyond the wall such that the flat sheet is arranged with said one surface in engagement with the wall and the nozzle, and a sealing collar engaged with the other surface of the flat sheet, said collar being adapted to cooperate with the wall to seal the flat sheet therebetween.

An interposition structure interposed between substrates and capable of guiding the insertion of a connection pin for electrically connecting the substrates to each other, whereby the connection pin can be inserted properly even in cases where the substrates to be connected or other members have a dimensional error caused during production thereof, a positioning error or the like. The interposition structure has an interposition body in which a through hole is formed such that connection pin inl...

A method is described for producing smooth transitions between a source vista and a destination vista with unknown camera axes in panoramic image based virtual environments. The epipoles on the source vista and the destination vista are determined to align the vistas. Corresponding control lines are selected in the vistas to compute the image flow between the vistas and to densely match the pixels. In-between image frames are computed by forward-resampling the source vista and backward-resamplin...

A coin discriminating device is provided which includes a circuit having a coin sensor and a capacitor connected to the coin sensor in parallel. The circuit is disposed adjacent to a passageway through which coins move in a certain direction. A direct voltage source is connected to the circuit to supply electric current through a switching element. A first responsive circuit is connected between the circuit and a switching element and responds to characteristic damped oscillations which occur in...

The present invention relates to an arrangement for crossings between a road and railway, where the road structure is interrupted between two edges, between which is positioned at least one railroad track, the arrangement comprising two rails supported by a row of sleepers arranged substantially perpendicular to the rails, said sleepers resting on a foundation, outer slabs being deposited in the area between the rails and the respective edges of the road structure, and a center slab, preferably ...

A device for mass transfer between fluids through a diaphragm unit comprising a pair of diaphragms with a diaphragm support therebetween, in which the diaphragm unit is a pleated package supported in a case, with the pleats and support defining a plurality of separate flow paths, and the diaphragm unit is shaped in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pleats with a zig zag or sine-wave shape, so that a compound zig zag or sine-wave shape results for the unit.
