A permanently mounted pneumatic jack (jacklift) system for motor vehicles, as well as an impact wrench for removing and installing lug nuts. The system provides a quick and safe means of lifting one or more tires off the ground for replacement of a spare or rotating the tires on a motor vehicle. The present invention comprises two or more (typically four) pneumatic jacks, a system ON/OFF switch, an air compressor, a 120-psi air tank, air lines (hoses), individual jack extend/retract switches, jack position-locking pins, safety-locking pins, and impact wrench. Each jack can be locked in a horizontal stowaway or vertical operational position. The jack is cylindrical shaped with a telescopic body that can be extended or retracted as needed to raise and lower the vehicle. A solid cylindrical lift rod slides inside a cylindrical outer housing with a high-pressure seal means used to maintain pressure on the support rod. A ground support foot (plate) is mounted on the lower end of the solid cylindrical lift rod to provide sufficient traction with the ground to support the lifting process. A quick release air coupler is included on the pneumatic chamber to support the use of an air hose and impact wrench. An extend/retract toggle switch is included on each jack to control a solenoid valve to allow the air to flow into the jack. A quick release safety-locking pin is used to mechanically pin the solid cylindrical lift rod to the outer housing once the desired height is achieved to assure that the vehicle does not fall down in the event of a high-pressure air loss, thereby providing safety to the person(s) working around the vehicle. An air compressor located in the engine compartment of the vehicle is mechanically belt-driven off the engine. A high-pressure air line carries the air to a high-pressure (at least 120-psi) air tank located in the trunk or other suitable storage area on the vehicle. Separate air lines extend from the air tank to the individual jacks.

A self-winding-type fixture-lifting/lowering device comprising a secure block fitted at an elevated position, and a lifting/lowering block that carries a fixture to be installed at an elevated position and that hangs from the secure block by a pair of wire cables in such a manner as to move upwards and downwards, with the lifting/lowering block including an electric motor for lifting operation and a battery for supplying electric power to the electric motor. When the lifting/lowering block reaches the uppermost position, it is kept in position by a lock mechanism, but it can move downwards by its own weight by rotating the electric motor in the reverse direction when the locked feature of the lock mechanism is released.

An endovascular stent-graft is provided that includes a generally tubular body, which (a) is configured to assume a radially-compressed delivery state and at least first and second radially-expanded deployment states, (b) is shaped so as to define a stepwise expanding portion, and (c) comprises a stent member. The stent member includes a plurality of self-expandable flexible structural stent elements, and at least one circumferential expansion element. The stent member is configured such that application of a force thereto, which is insufficient to cause plastic deformation of the self-expandable flexible structural stent elements and is sufficient to cause plastic deformation of the circumferential expansion element, causes an increase in a circumferential length of the circumferential expansion element, thereby transitioning the tubular body from the first radially-expanded deployment state to the second radially-expanded deployment state, thereby increasing a greatest internal perimeter of the expanding portion.

Disclosed therein is a reamer for operating implant, which can very usefully apply an implant operation to a patient who is short of bone quantity to the maxillary sinus, which is easier and safer than a conventional hammering method using a drill and an osteotome or a conventional operation method for transplanting a bone or planting an implant after forming a bone window on a maxillary sinus side wall, and which can reduce a treatment time period and treatment costs by minimizing the patient's pain occurring before and after the operation of the implant. A cutting part of the reamer includes: a protruding face formed on the top surface thereof in such a manner as to upwardly upheave a partial surface including an outer circumference of the cutting part of the entire top surface of the cutting part to form a stepped jaw; a depressed face formed on the top surface thereof in such a manner as to depress a partial surface of the entire top surface of the cutting part to be opposite to the protruding face according to the formation of the protruding face, the depressed face having a reverse inclination in a clockwise direction; a cut edge horizontally formed on a connected portion between the stepped jaw and the protruding face so that the cut edge evenly disperses a force while being in horizontal line contact with the mucosa even though the cut edge is in contact with the mucosa of the maxillary sinus so as to allow a dentist to perform a cutting work safely without damaging a mucosa of a maxillary sinus; and a discharge path longitudinally formed on the cutting part in such a manner as to cut an area ranging from a partial surface of the top surface of the cutting part, i.e., a predetermined portion between the protruding face and the depressed face to a portion which is slightly shorter than the lower end of the cutting part.

The invention relates to an arrangement, a system as well as methods for the wireless control of a device, in each of which a device (10) having at least one transponder (40a to 40m) and at least one actuating element (12 to 36) assigned to the transponder (40a to 40m), to which actuating element a control function of the apparatus is assigned, is used in order to activate and/or deactivate the control function of the apparatus.

The present invention relates generally to a method and system for the supply of a continuous stream of hot direct reduced iron (HDRI) from a direct reduction (DR) shaft furnace or direct reduced iron (DRI) reheating furnace to a point outside of the DR shaft furnace or DRI reheating furnace where the HDRI stream is split into at least two HDRI streams. The first HDRI stream is sent continuously to a hot briquetting plant by gravity in a closed duct system. The second HDRI stream is sent continuously to an adjacent melting furnace also by gravity in a closed duct system, with a surge bin and feeders, or by a combination of gravity in a closed duct system, also with a surge bin and feeders, and a generally horizontal charge conveyor. Optionally, a third HDRI stream is employed to continuously feed multiple hot transport vessels.

A screen display section and a control section are formed as separate units, enabling the sections to be separated from each other and integrally assembled together through a rigid bracket. Further, the screen display section and the control section respectively independently have connector receiving spaces. By this construction, the screen display section and the control section can be separated from each other and integrated with each other when required, and even in bad weather, water drops do not enter into the insides of the screen display section and the control section and into the connector receiving spaces, which enables safe and easy separation operation and integration operation.

An opening and closing apparatus of a manhole cover has a simple structure and by which opening and closing operation of a cover can be performed safely by a worker alone. An opening and closing apparatus of a manhole cover has such a configuration that the manhole cover is openably and closably coupled to an opening portion of a supporting frame via a rotational joining portion. A hydraulic jack in which a plunger pump is driven by a manual lever raises a ram and the ram lowers due to releasing of an oil returning valve attached on the supporting frame near the rotational joining portion such that the hydraulic jack is rotatable at a lower end portion thereof, and the hydraulic jack and an engagement member fixed attachably to and detachably from the manhole cover are coupled to each other by a pulling member.

The rim table is rotatable about a vertical axis at a position below the pair of conveyors, and the rims are placed at respective positions arranged in the rotation circumferential direction thereof. The rim replacing mechanism includes a rotational drive mechanism that rotates the rim table to move the replacement target rim to a replacement position.

A traveling route structure of a conveying traveling body has a traveling route with an area intersecting a crossing aisle, and has a movable rail horizontally openable and closable between a connection working position that connects guide rails in front and rear of the crossing aisle and a retracting position lateral to the crossing aisle. The movable rail has front and a rear movable rails arranged in a line when the movable rails are in the connection working position. Each of the movable rails is pivotally supported so as to be horizontally rotatable about a vertical spindle at each outer end portion positioned outside of the crossing aisle. A locking means couples inner end portions of both movable rails together, with the inner end portions being adjacent to each other when the movable rails are in the connection working position.

A method for determining formation pressure during exploratory drilling for oil includes generating a series of negative pressure shock waves at successively increasing well pressures to characterize gas kick forming at the bottom of a well. Once the lower end of the gas kick has been formed, the well pressure level as detected by a pressure sensor near the surface of the well is used to calculate the formation pressure along with the weight of the fluid column located in the well.
