A combination of double and triple cell ganging which resolves any incompatibility between the number of detector channels and the lower number of DAS channels without requiring any significant hardware and software changes is described. In one specific embodiment, at least some detector cells on one side of the detector outside the FOV are wired in pairs, i.e., ganged, to form a set of 2 mm chann...

The solar water heater of the present invention has specific heat-absorbing material, which is set directly inside the water container and is immersed by water. The heat absorbed by the absorbing material is transferred to water fully and the heat-absorbing material is integrated with the water tank. The present invention has the features of high heat efficiency, low cost, simple and compact struc...

A shaping drum for a tire having two bead holding systems mounted facing one another on a central shaft. Each of the bead holding systems includes a support mounted to be movable axially relative to the shaft. On each support there is mounted an assembly which includes a plurality of rigid segments and an elastic membrane which surrounds them. The rigid segments are each mounted on the support and...

The net consists of a number of woven net cords (V1-7), which are connected to form a mesh. At least a part of the net cords consists of a knitted fabric. The cords are made of threads with differently elasticities. Alternatively, the threads can be differently laid, i.e. have different pitches, so that the net cords have elasticity characteristics, which can be described with an elasticity charac...

A hand-held heating tool (10) comprises a handle (12), a heating applicator (15) attached to the handle (12), and means (14,16) for electrically heating the heat applicator (15). The heat applicator (15) comprises a metal sole plate (20) of generally planar shape having: a generally planar first surface (21) that in use is lowermost to contact a substrate (31-38) to be heated; a generally planar...

In the present invention, a slider (19) moves forward in response to an insertion of a card (12) into an inlet (13), and a shutter lever (28) is closed by a position regulation releasing operation of a shutter linked lever (80) related to the forward movement. Thus, the inserted card (12) is locked. IC data processing, for example, is carried out in this locked state. After the IC data are process...
