Loudspeakers can be damaged by high drive signals. One reason for this damage is an excess vibration displacement of the coil-diaphragm assembly. This invention describes a novel method for limiting this displacement by a signal processor. In the present invention, a low frequency shelving and notch filter is used to attenuate low frequencies according to a prediction of the loudspeaker displacement. A novel method for calculating coefficient values for a digital implementation of the low frequency shelving and notch filter according to the predicted displacement is described.

An intragastric anchor implant device with an elongate member having proximal and distal ends with atraumatic features disposed thereon is described herein. The atraumatic features inhibit damage to the tissues of the stomach and the gastrointestinal tract and help anchor the device. The elongate member may be substantially rigid to resist bending and engage a tissue of the stomach or gastrointestinal tract to prevent passage therethrough and may include one or more bends to conform to the shape of the tract. The anchor implant device may be coupled with a therapeutic device, such as an intestinal bypass sleeve with a sliding seal, such as an expandable structure, that secures the sleeve to direct a flow of food particles from the stomach therethrough, for use in treating various disorders, including obesity and diabetes. Methods of deploying the anchor implant devices are also disclosed.

A supporting structure of a sub-frame for a suspension system contains a body frame, a sub-frame, elastic bushings, each having an inner cylinder having a lower edge. And an outer cylinder and an elastic member are interposed between the inner and outer cylinders. The sub-frame is supported on the body frame via the elastic bushings, at least one of first stay extends along the body frame, and at least one second stay extends along the body frame in a different direction from the first stay. Both ends of each of the fist and second stays respectively are supported on the lower edge of the inner cylinder and the body frame.

An assembly tool (1) for assembly of a first component (2) of a prosthesis (4) to a second component (6) of the prosthesis (4) for use in joint arthroplasty is provided. The tool (1) includes a first member (8) operably associated with the first component (2). The first member (8) defines a first member longitudinal axis (10) of the first member (8). The tool also includes a second member (12) operably associated with the second component (6). The second member (12) defines a second member longitudinal axis (14) of the second member (12). The second member (12) is adapted to provide relative motion of the second member (12) with respect to the first member (8) when the second member (12) is rotated relative to the first member (8) about the second member longitudinal axis (14).

Portable power driven rope climbing apparatus having a motor driving a gear reduction mechanism which drives a pulley wheel securing a rope extending thereabouts. A rope output guide member is provided for maintaining the rope in engagement with the pulley wheel an attachment mechanism for attaching an external load. The attachment mechanism comprises a rope entry guide member for supporting a rope as it enters the apparatus, so as to provide a fulcrum point about which the mass of the apparatus exerts a first moment. The attachment mechanism further comprises a seat member for supporting the load. The seat member is held remote from the main body such that the load, when mounted thereon exerts a second, opposed moment about the fulcrum.

The invention discloses pervious concrete and a construction method thereof. The pervious concrete comprises the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 13.1-15.9% of cement, 12.7-15.6% of river sand, 59.6-66.0% of stones, 3.7-3.9% of water and 4.5-5.0% of admixtures, wherein the admixtures comprise the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 45-50% of ultrafine mineral powder, 15-20% of heavy calcium carbonate, 15-20% of gypsum powder, 3-5% of polypropylene fiber, 5-10% of a polycarboxylate water reducing agent, 4.2-8.4% of adhesive powder and 2-5% of a pigment. The pervious concrete provided by the invention has relatively high water permeability, strength and durability; after the pervious concrete is applied to a practical engineering, the pervious concrete can greatly improve the problem of poor drainage of a hardened road surface, so that the development of the pervious concrete can be promoted.

A hybrid wall reinforcement wall anchoring system is described for use in masonry cavity walls. The reinforcement and anchor is hybrid device installed within the backup wall and interlocked with novel veneer ties. The novel veneer ties are wire formatives and are manually connected and interlocked with the anchor. Once interlocked and installed within the cavity wall, lateral, vertical and front-to-back veneer tie movement is limited, strengthening the cavity wall structure. The inclusion of a reinforcement wire within the veneer tie and the exterior wall provides a seismic structure.
