A composite part of a clutch for use in a motor vehicle has a plastic carrier and a film of oxidized aluminum or an aluminum alloy overlying and adhering to that part of the carrier which is in sliding contact with at least one other part of the clutch. Oxidizing of the film is the result of a chemical or electrochemical treatment.

Methods for providing drawing assistance to a user sketching an image include geometrically correcting adjusting user strokes to improve their placement and appearance. In particular, one or more guidance maps indicate where the user “should” draw lines. As a user draws a stroke, the stroke is geometrically corrected by moving the stroke toward a portion of the guidance maps corresponding to the feature of the image the user is intending to draw based feature labels. To further improve the user drawn lines, parametric adjustments are optionally made to the geometrically-corrected stroke to emphasize “correctly” drawn lines and de-emphasize “incorrectly” drawn lines.

Buyer-driven methods of purchasing a motor vehicle include one or more buyers, each buyer composing a buyer-specific offer to purchase a motor vehicle and optionally motor vehicle-related services. Each offer is based on an individual buyer willing price that is based on an individual buyer perceived value of the motor vehicle and related services, and one or more buyer-specific conditions imposed on purchasing a motor vehicle within the set of motor vehicles. Buyers register with, and communicating their respective buyer-specific offer to, a website hosted by a computer server, the website accessible by network-connected devices of the buyers. One or more website-registered sellers communicate their respective seller conditions to the website, and software in a system server filters the buyer-specific offers. The sellers may accept, decline, or make alternative responses to the website, which ranks the seller response for buyers.

An apparatus for operating a syringe has developed comprising that: an upper semi-cylindrical tube section, semi-circular groove shaped locking slot and lower semi-cylindrical tube section. The upper semi-cylindrical tube section is integrally formed an upper head part with a threaded hole for axial movement. The lower semi-cylindrical tube section forms a top portion, intermediate portion and end portion. A diameter (Dc) at the intermediate portion is larger than the diameter (Dtip) at end portion, which is gradually reduced from intermediate to end portion. The length of tapered portion is same as that of the constant diameter portion. A tip portion has formed an opened semi-circular shape to simply overlap the syringe over the syringe mounting device for easily snapping-in and out. The syringe piston moves downward with no reverse action when the piston press unit is rotated, so that it is possible to inject the precise amount of medical to a patient with constant pressure.
