Bending of an endotracheal tube 1 to aid insertion is effected by control of fluid pressure in one or more distally placed passageways 20 extending partially around the circumference of the tube 1. Said passageways 20 may be integral with or attached to the tube wall. Fluid (e.g. saline) pressure is controlled by a proximally located sack or bulb (not shown) connected to passage 24 which extends a...

A predetermined control on an engine, i.e., a fuel-cut operation, is executed after an accelerator has been released under predetermined conditions when vehicle speed is higher than a fuel-cut vehicle speed value and engine speed is higher than or equal to a fuel-cut engine speed value. In an automatic transmission drivingly connected to the engine via a torque converter, a gear shift is initiated...

A compression space (4) which is connected to the valve inlet (Z), is arranged on one side of a differential piston (2) supporting the valve plate (2.1), a control space (5) being arranged on its other side. The compression space (4) is connected via the valve seat (3) to the valve outlet (A) and, via a control orifice (10) in the differential piston (2), to the control space (5). The control spac...

The process consists in casting an insert in a first mould, in arranging the insert thus cast in a second mould and in casting the part in this second mould around the insert, so as to form a mechanical link between the two castings. The wear-resisting part thus cast advantageously comprises an insert with a high resistance to wear, whilst the rest of the part is made from a more ductile material ...
