A bushing assembly adapted for application in vehicle suspension systems includes an outer, generally cylindrical bushing member, an inner generally cylindrical bushing member arranged concentrically within the outer member. The two bushing members are interconnected by an elastomeric member disposed there between and bonded thereto to permit limited rotational displacement between the external and internal bushing members. An angular position sensor is at least partially embedded within the elastomeric member and operative to produce an output signal indicative of the relative angular position of the external and internal bushing members. The sensor includes a stator assembly including a permanent magnet, a galvanomagnetic sensing element and a flux guide defining at least one pole face, and a rotor including a flux guide defining a second pole face. An air gap between the two pole faces varies dimensionally as a function of the relative angular position of the stator assembly and rotor.

A load lowering descent controller having a fixed cylindrical body or capstan about which a rope or cable is turned. The descent controller allows for lowering of the load at a controlled rate by adjusting the amount of friction between the controller and the rope or cable as a function of rope or cable turning and relative contact with rope or cable engagement surfaces in the controller. The fixed cylindrical body or capstan is surrounded by a vented sleeve to prevent the rope from becoming heated and to prevent the user from being injured.

The invention provides a compact spray nozzle having an improved tip for reproducibly forming droplets from small amounts of liquid with improved operational stability and spray pattern quality compared to prior art atomizing devices. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing the nozzle tip by machining comprising the step of machining the orifice and the inner section and / or the centering section in one setup.

A high-frequency filter arrangement comprising at least one filter consisting of a plurality of high-frequency inter-coupled cavities in which a locally fixed respective dielectric resonator element is disposed and in which a respective dielectric body can be modified, in order to tune the frequency of the filter, in the position thereof in relation to the dielectric resonator element. The structure of the inventive filter arrangement is simple, compact and economical and excellent filter and tuning properties are obtained by virtue of the fact that the dielectric body is arranged in an eccentric recess of the dielectric resonator element and that the dielectric body is rotatably arranged in the eccentric recess.

The invention provides a wheel loader front unit including a frame, the wheel loader front unit further including two hub supporting elements, each hub supporting element being arranged on opposite sides outside of the frame for supporting a respective hub unit, a lift arm for supporting an implement of the wheel loader, the lift arm being arranged to be pivoted around a pivot connection to the frame by a main hydraulic cylinder, and a tilting hydraulic cylinder arranged to actuate a tilting movement of the implement in relation to the lift arm, wherein the wheel loader front unit further includes a slave hydraulic cylinder hydraulically connected to the tilting hydraulic cylinder for controlling the tilting movement of the implement when the lift arm is pivoted by the main hydraulic cylinder, wherein the slave hydraulic cylinder extends between the lift arm and one of the hub supporting elements.

A parking lock includes a locking pawl (2) and an interlocking element (6) arranged on a connecting bar (5) to a selector lever (4). During engagement of the parking lock, the selector lever (4) is rotated by a spring (9). A hydraulically actuatable actuator (10) including two pistons (11, 12). A first piston (11) is pressurized in order to disengage the parking lock and axially displace the second piston (12) against a spring (9). Axial movement of the second piston (12) rotates the selector lever (4) and vice versa. A detent device (13) of the actuator (10), is actuatable by an electromagnet (13a). An emergency release device (15) is operatively connectable with the selector lever (4) so that the second piston (12) is axially displaceable by the selector lever (4) without displacing the first piston (11).

A movable jaw mounting assembly to provide adjustment of the close side setting (CSS) of a movable jaw and to act as a retraction assembly or assist with retraction. The assembly includes a pair of linear actuators that are coupled between the back frame end and a region of the toggle unit so as to move the toggle unit towards and away from the back frame end to allow insertion and removal of spacers and / or shims.

An observation instrument has a shaft and an imaging unit, the imaging unit comprising an objective lens system and an electronic image sensor arranged for picking up an image generated by the objective lens system, the imaging unit being pivotably arranged in a distal end section of the shaft, a pivot axis of the imaging unit being transverse to a longitudinal axis of the distal end section of the shaft, wherein the image sensor is arranged substantially parallel to an optical axis of the objective lens system and the imaging unit comprises a deflection element for deflecting light exiting from an image end of the objective lens system to an image pick-up surface of the image sensor. The invention also relates to a video imager arrangement for an observation instrument.

The invention relates to a device for optical inspection of the open surfaces (19 of objects from at least two different viewing directions (P1, P2). The device comprises a telecentric imaging unit (11 or 12, an angle mirror (13) and auxiliary mirrors (8) within the area (K) of the telecentric imaging unit, between this and the object. The object is placed between the arms (3a, 3b) of the angle mirror (13) and the telecentric imaging unit is directed towards the combination of object and angle mirror. The auxiliary mirrors (8) have been oriented and positioned at intervals from the telecentric imaging unit such that the differences of distance of the viewing directions (P1 and / or P2 and / or P3 and / or P4) via the two arms (3a and 3b) of the angle mirror or via one arm (3a tai 3b) or not via the arms are compensated as they pass via the auxiliary mirrors.

A wheel loader front unit includes a frame for a wheel loader, the frame including an upper joint element and a lower joint element for connecting the frame to a rear unit of the wheel loader, and for transferring loads between the frame and the rear unit, the frame including a lift arm mounting point for a pivot connection of the frame and a lift arm for lifting an implement of the wheel loader. The upper and lower joint elements are arranged so that a first of the upper and lower joint elements, during use of the wheel loader, transfers a larger vertical load than a second of the upper and lower joint elements, and the lift arm mounting point is located closer to the first of the upper and lower joint elements than to the second of the upper and lower joint elements.

The invention relates to a polarity-reversal protection arrangement comprising a transistor circuit (9), an amplifier circuit (5) and an output driver stage (7), wherein the amplifier circuit (5) is connected to the output driver stage (7) and the output driver stage (7) is connected to the transistor circuit (9) and the transistor circuit (9) is arranged between a first connection node (13) and asecond connection node (15) of the polarity-reversal protection arrangement (1) so that an electrical connection between the first connection node (13) and the second connection node (15) can be produced or disconnected by means of the transistor circuit (9), wherein the output driver stage (7) is designed as a tri-state stage.
