In a device for monitoring the heart cycle of a human heart such that coronary flow may be maintained at a desired level, and a heart stimulator including such a device, the monitoring device is connectable to a first sensor adapted to be positioned at a first location of the heart and arranged for sensing cardiac wall movements at the first location, and to a second sensor adapted to be positioned at a second location of the heart and arranged for sensing cardiac wall movements at said second location. Processing circuitry receives output signals from the first and second sensors, which output signals are indicative of myocardial relaxation at said first and second locations. The processing circuitry determines the time of myocardial relaxation at the first and second locations, and provides a diastolic synchronization signal indicative of the synchrony in the time of myocardial relaxation between the first location and the second location.

Disclosed is a stirring tool which is capable of fully and efficiently mixing ingredients such as mayonnaise even in relatively small amounts. A stirring blade is mounted on a rotating shaft which is rotated by a driving force. A hollow blade cover is provided which covers the periphery of the rotating stirring blade and a portion of the edge of the stirring blade constitutes a long edge which is an edge part that faces the inner circumferential face and which extends along the inner circumferential face of the blade cover. Openings which are holes and an opening are provided at the end of the blade cover and in a peripheral wall of the blade cover for circulation of the stirred ingredients. The long edge can be seen through the holes in the peripheral wall when the rotating blade rotates.

A water-cooling head and a method for making the same. A first cover and a second cover form a water-cooling head. An intake pipe and a drainpipe extend from both ends of the first cover. A plurality of heat-conducting particles is fixedly provided inside of the second cover and irregularly stacks to form a flowing path microstructure. The outside of the second cover has a contacting surface for absorbing the heat generated by the heat source and conducting the heat to the heat-conducting particles. When the cooling liquid enters the water-cooling head via the intake pipe, the flowing path microstructure disturbs the flow of the cooling liquid to prolong the staying time of the cooling liquid within the water-cooling head. In this way, the cooling liquid can be sufficiently heat-exchanged with the heat-conducting particles and then drains out from the drainpipe.

The half (½) cloverleaf (100) is constructed at existing intersections and the half underground U-turn lanes (200E, 200S, 200S and 200N) are constructed on left-turn roadways in existing four directions (East, West, South and North) that connect to the intersections, U-turn roadways and crosswalks. As mentioned, all structures in the nonstop traffic system using the half (½) cloverleaf in a loop-type that connects the half (½) cloverleaf (100) to the half (½) underground U-turn lanes (200E, 200W, 200S and 200N) in four directions (East, West, South, North) is adopted to the bisectional construction method, thus the height of all lanes can be differentiated. As mentioned, the half (½) cloverleaf (100) includes a half (½) overpass (10), a half (½) underpass (20), a half (½) underground U-turn roadway (30) and a half (½) ground pedestrian bridge (40). Moreover, the half (½) underground U-turn lanes (200E, 200W, 200S and 200N) includes a half (½) overpass (50), a half (½) underground U-turn roadways (60) and half (½)

The present invention relates to a thermal flowmeter capable of sensing a flow rate in either direction, having a linear output characteristic, and producing a stable output without impairing the response characteristic. In the thermal flowmeter, a laminate is fitted in a channel space formed in a body, forming a main channel. The laminate includes a mesh sheet so that a mesh portion is provided between the main channel and a sensor channel. A measurement chip is provided with an upstream temperature sensing resistor, a downstream temperature sensing resistor, a heating resistor, and a fluid temperature sensing resistor. By an electric circuit, the heating resistor and the fluid temperature sensing resistor are controlled to provide a constant temperature difference. Accordingly, the flow rate of a fluid under measurement is measured based on a temperature difference between the upstream and downstream temperature sensing resistors.
