A horizontal door assembly is provided using a gas spring as a lifting mechanism for the door leaf. A special bracket having a number of pivot pin openings is employed to rotatably couple the gas spring to the door frame, whereby different lifting forces can be applied to the door by the user of the door by adjusting the position of the gas spring in the bracket. A brace is also provided to support the bracket and gas spring to enhance operation of the door. A resilient material such as EPDM is ...

A horizontal centrifuge rotor for use in existing and new centrifuges. The horizontal centrifuge rotor includes a rotor bottom with an outer rib encircling the rotor bottom. The outer rib extends upward from the rotor bottom to form an exterior wall about the rotor. There is at least one clearance slot for accepting a specimen holder with a collar. A support surface along each side of the clearance slot supports the specimen holder by the collar and allows rotation of the specimen holder about t...

A horizontal sidewall sprinkler head includes a tubular body with an inlet opening communicated with a source of water and an outlet opening normally closed by a valve member, and a cylindrical frame connected to the body. A deflector is disposed in the frame and is movable between retracted and extended positions. A thermally responsive assembly is mounted to the frame to urge the valve member in sealing engagement with the outlet opening. The thermally responsive assembly is activated to relea...

A horizontal machining center 1 has a table 20 on a bed 10. An X-axis slidable surface is provided on the bed 10, and a column 30 is driven by a servo motor 32. A spindle stock 40 is supported on the column 30 and is driven along a Y axis extending in a vertical direction. An automatic tool change unit 100 replaces a tool on a spindle 44 on the spindle stock 40 with a tool in a tool magazine. An X-axis cover 200 provided between the table 20 and the column 30 has a plate-like fixed cover 205 and...

A transfer system provided, in particular, for multi-stage presses for large components is distinguished by a favorable design with a low moving mass and allows large transporting steps. By the regulation of 2 stationary drives both in the direction of rotation in relation to one another and in the rotational speed, it is possible to realize all desired traveling curves in one plane. A straightforward construction makes possible a cost-effective, modular solution for a highly dynamic transfer sy...

A vehicular rear window assembly for a vehicle comprises a first fixed pane, a second fixed pane, and a sliding pane, which is supported for horizontal movement between open and closed positions. The window assembly includes a support system with an upper horizontal member, a lower horizontal member, and a pair of spaced apart vertical members, which interconnect the upper horizontal member and the lower horizontal member to define a central opening. The fixed panes adhesively mount to the upper...

A portable, stable rope-pulling exercise machine. The machine has a stable support frame, a number of rope pulleys and rope guides mounted on the frame, an endless rope extending around the pulleys and guides to form a path which includes a horizontally extending rope pulling portion, and hydraulic braking assembly coupled to the pulley system for controlling the rate of movement of the rope based upon the strength of the user when said user is pulling the rope. The machine allows a user to pull...

A mold for horizontal casting of molten metal comprising a mold body forming an open-ended mold cavity having an inlet end and an outlet end. An annular permeable wall member is mounted in the mold body adjacent the inlet end of the mold cavity with an inner face thereof forming an interior face of the mold. A refractory transition plate is mounted at the inlet end of the mold cavity, this transition plate providing a mold inlet opening having a cross-section less than that of the mold cavity. T...

The vertical/horizontal amplitude control device for controlling a vertical amplitude and a horizontal amplitude of an image display device for displaying a video signal includes a brightness level detector for detecting a brightness level of the video signal, a vertical amplitude controller for controlling the vertical amplitude based on the brightness level, and a horizontal amplitude controller for controlling the horizontal amplitude based on the brightness level. The device controls the ver...

This invention provides a horizontal MOS transistor capable of improving current drivability and reducing ON resistance by optimizing the gate wiring structure and the disposition structure of source/drain layers. First gate wirings are disposed in the X direction at a pitch Y1 in the Y direction and second gate wirings 12 are disposed in the Y direction with two pieces as a pair such that they meander at a pitch X1 in the X direction. The meandering of the second gate wiring 12 is formed so as ...
