Systems, methods, and kits incorporating a clamp for securing to bone tissue. The clamp includes gripping members to secure the clamp to the bone tissue without the use of screws. The clamp may be used to treat spinal conditions, and may be secured to the spinous process of vertebrae. Systems, methods and kits can incorporate a fusion member configured to fuse between adjacent spinous processes.

Disclosed is a three-dimensional (3D) multi-foldable device. The three-dimensional (3D) multi-foldable device includes at least four units, each unit including a center panel with two parallel edges and a pair of wing panels, the wing panels being rotatable by 180 degrees about the two parallel edges of their respective center panels, the parallel edges acting as rotation axes for the pair of wing panels. The rotation axes of the first and second units are perpendicular to the rotation axes of the third and fourth units. At least some portions of the pair of third wing panels are combined with the first and second wing panels at one side of the pairs of the first and second wing panels. At least some portions of the pair of the fourth wing panels are combined with the first and second wing panels at the other side of the pairs of the first and second wing panels.

The invention provides a wall hanging type air conditioner indoor unit, which solves the problems of the prior art, such as limited temperature conditioning speed and capacity due to less air intake quantity arising from limited air intake area. The wall hanging type air conditioner indoor unit comprises a movable face plate, and a switching device for opening / closing the movable face plate. The switching device comprises a drive motor, a transmission mechanism, a cover component and a link rod running mechanism, wherein the link rod running mechanism is connected with the movable face plate,when the drive motor drives the transmission mechanism, the transmission mechanism drives the link rod running mechanism to open / close the movable face plate. During starting up, the motor drives gears to drive a transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft drives a four bar linkage mechanism, so as to open the movable face plate along the diagonal line of a quadrangle, thereby increasing effective air intake area, increasing air intake quantity, and improving the refrigeration / heating capacity and overall performance of an air conditioner.

A disc brake apparatus which can securely suppress clunking sounds not only at the time of forward braking of a vehicle but also at the time of back braking of the vehicle is provided. When a backing metal 6A of a brake pad 6 shifts toward a first torque receiving part 3C of a torque member 3 along with an operation for forward braking of the vehicle, a leading end part of a spring piece 9A engages one slope of an engaging projection 6E, so as to elastically press the backing metal 6A toward the first torque receiving part 3C, whereby the disc brake apparatus is held in a first contact state. When the backing metal 6A shifts toward a second torque receiving part 3D of the torque member 3 along with an operation for back braking of the vehicle, the leading end part of the spring piece 9A engages the other slope of the engaging projection 6E, so as to elastically press the backing metal 6A toward the second torque receiving part 3D, whereby the disc brake apparatus is held in a second contact state. As a result, the clunking sounds are suppressed not only at the time of forward braking of a vehicle but also at the time of back braking of the vehicle.

The object of the invention is to stably spray cutting fluid in a good mist form, when cutting fluid and air are supplied from the surrounding area and cutting fluid is sprayed in a mist form from the tip end section of a rotary cutting tool. The rotary cutter of the present invention sequentially feeds a mixture of cutting fluid and air through a supply pipe 4, first supply path b in a cover 3, second supply paths c, d in a chuck 2, a hollow center cavity (front throttle chamber d, throttle 24a, and rear throttle chamber e) in the chuck, and a third supply path g in a rotary cutting tool 1. The first supply path and second supply path are intermittently connected when the respective openings thereof face each other as the cover and chuck turn relative to each other; the second supply path sprays fluid toward the throttle; the front throttle chamber is formed such the diameter thereof expands from the second supply path; the throttle is formed such that the diameter thereof is less than the smallest diameter of the second supply path; the rear throttle chamber is formed by the rear end surface of the rotary cutting tool and the inner conical surface on the down-flow side of the throttle when that rear end surface and inner conical surface on the down-flow side come in close contact with each other; and the front throttle chamber is formed such that the capacity thereof is greater than that of the rear throttle chamber.

An object is to provide, in place of a cube toy such as Yoshimoto Cube, a wide variety of playing patterns, playing patterns which cannot be predicted in terms of change in forms, a polyhedral toy which can be enjoyed in terms of change in form even when only one polyhedral toy is used, and a polyhedral toy having extensibility for achieving a wide variety of contents of play through combination of two or more polyhedral toys. Therefore, when a polyhedral piece (U1) forming the toy is formed with three quadrangular pyramids (G1 to G3) having, among six triangular faces (T1 to T6) of a cube (R), three faces (R1 to R3) as bottom faces, the polyhedral piece (U1) includes a triangle surface (10) formed of six triangular faces (T1 to T6) other than respective side faces of the quadrangular pyramids (G1 to G3) placed on one another. When polyhedral pieces (U1 to U8) each having the configuration described above form a toy (1) unfolded into a cuboid shape of two rows and four columns as illustrated in FIG. 1, in plan view on a top face of the toy (1), in each of the first row and the second row, the triangle surface (10), the third face (R3), the third face (R3), and the triangle surface (10) are arranged in the stated order.
