An assembly for guiding resection of a femur and tibia of a knee joint in preparation for installing a femoral and tibial knee components. For example, the assembly can include tibial and femoral IM rods to which are connected through a tensioning bolt that allows controlled adjustment of the distraction of the tibia and femur during cut positioning in a range of flexion angles. Also, the assembly is usable with relatively small, noninvasive approaches to the knee joint by way of relatively narrow, low profile components that attach to tibial and femoral IM rods. Further, the assembly includes several quick-release components to allow fast assembly and disassembly in a surgical setting. Each of these aspects, along with the ability of the assembly to accurately guide initial reference cuts to the tibia and femur, promotes an improved outcome for the patient.

A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising a number of radial loading elements disposed between lugs of the vane ring and the vane support, such as to generate a radial load force against the vane ring. The radial load force prevents unwanted relative movement between the vane ring and the vane support during operation of the gas turbine engine.

An I-beam anchor for removably securing a fall protection member to an I-beam is disclosed. The I-beam anchor comprises a cross-beam, an anchor ring, and first and second brackets. The first bracket is positioned between a first end and center portion of the cross-beam and the second bracket positioned between a second end and center portion of the cross-beam. Each of the brackets comprises an inwardly directed flange spaced above the body of the brackets. At least the first bracket is a movable bracket and is movable along the cross-beam relative to the second bracket. The moveable bracket comprises a protected “quick release” mechanism that allows for the rapid engagement and disengagement of the anchor to the I-beam, in which the quick release mechanism is configured to minimize the chance of accidental or unintentional release.

An electric power steering assembly includes an electric motor, a reduction mechanism for reducing the speed of an output rotation of the electric motor, and a reduction-mechanism housing accommodating therein the reduction mechanism. The electric motor includes: an output shaft rotatably supported by the reduction-mechanism housing, a motor housing formed integrally with the reduction-mechanism housing, a rotor, and a stator assembly accommodated in an annular space defined between the rotor and the motor housing. When the stator assembly is assembled in the annular space via an opening at an end portion of the motor housing, a guided portion on an outside circumference of a stator yoke is guided by a guide portion on an inside circumference of the motor housing.

A magnetic emergency roadside assistance flag for a car includes a pole, a flag, and an attachment. The flag is positioned on the pole. The attachment is at a proximal end of the pole. The attachment is configured to connect to the outside of a vehicle.

A turbine, e.g., a high pressure (HP) turbine, has a conventional drum-type structure with reaction turbine stages. A preceding or following turbine, e.g. an intermediate pressure (IP) turbine, on a common axis and on the same steam path, has rotor drum which carries an annular row of moving blades having root portions held within a slot in the periphery of the drum. A turbine casing surrounds the drum and carries a static blade assembly with an annular row of static blades which, together with the annular row of moving blades, constitutes a modified turbine stage. The static blade assembly has a radially inner static ring with a radially inner side confronting the periphery of the drum. A seal acts between the inner static ring and the rotor. The static blade assembly has an outer static ring which has a substantially greater thermal inertia and stiffness then the inner static ring and which is capable of sufficient sliding relative to the casing in a radial sense to accommodate relative thermal expansion and contraction of the outer static ring and the turbine casing.

The present invention provides a composite board and the method for producing it, wherein the composite board includes a base material layer constituting the core part of the composite board; and a wear layer covering and fixed on the base material layer which includes fixings on its both sides, and when at least two composite boards are connected together, the fixings can be coupled with each other to relatively fix the composite boards. The aforementioned method and techniques can enable composite boards to be as rigid and wear-resistant as a tile and moreover, can reduce the time and labor costs required for the installation of the tiles by applying the base material layer in the installation of composite boards.

A quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator with annular permanent magnets used for generating negative stiffness comprises a base and an outer cylinder connected with the base, the outer permanent magnet is arranged in a top notch of the outer cylinder, an upper cover is connected with the outer cylinder, a sliding bearing is combined with a central hole of the upper cover in a sleeved mode, and a central shaft is sleeved with the sliding bearing and is in clearance fit with the sliding bearing. A sleeve and an adjusting sleeve are sequentially connected to the position, located on the lower portion of the sliding bearing, of the central shaft, and the inner permanent magnet is installed in the sleeve. A spring is arranged at the bottom of the central shaft in a sleeving mode, the bottom end of the spring is fixed to the base, and the top end of the spring is fixed to the adjusting sleeve. A mark line on the central shaft is used for representing the position of the inner permanent magnet relative to the outer permanent magnet. When the mark line coincides with the upper end face of the sliding bearing, the inner permanent magnet exactly faces the outer permanent magnet, and the isolator is in a normal working state. The quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator has the advantages of being high in static stiffness and low in dynamic stiffness, basic stimulation with large amplitude can be isolated, and the mass of a vibration-isolated objected can be adjusted.
