The sole structure comprises a body frame, rolling wheels, a tension mechanism, an adhesion crawler belt and a driving mechanism, wherein the rolling wheels are arranged at the two ends of the body frame through rolling wheel axles; the tension mechanism comprises a tension wheel frame, a tension spring, a micro force sensor, a tension wheel and a sleeve; the sleeve is arranged on the upper surface of the body frame; the micro force sensor is arranged on the upper surface of the sleeve; the tension wheel frame comprises a shaft extension and a mounting end; the lower end of the shaft extension passes through the micro force sensor and the sleeve; the shaft extension is sleeved with the tension spring; the tension spring is arranged between the micro force sensor and the mounting end; the tension wheel is arranged at the mounting end through a tension wheel axle; the tension wheel is connected with the rolling wheels through the adhesion crawler belt; the driving mechanism is arranged on the body frame. Certain tangential displacement and posture angles are output by a robot body, so that adhesion, detachment and pressing of the sole are realized, and the robot is helped to walk and stop on a wall face.

The present inventors disclose a bed comprising a bed insert and a base. An insert comprises one or more openable loops which can receive medical tubing or other types of medical lines. In some configurations, the one or more openable loops can be reversibly attached to the insert. An insert can be attached to the base by a reversible attachment such as Velcro. A patient, along with an insert, can be lifted from the base. A patient who has medical lines which extend through the loops can be lifted with the insert from the base without disrupting connections between the medical lines and the patient.

Embodiments of an punch machine and a quick-change die assembly are shown and described. The die assembly may be quickly installed and removed from the punch machine, without bolting or unbolting of either machine housing or the die assembly itself. The die assembly is slid into the machine through a hole in the machine housing and into a position which mates part of the die assembly with the push-bar. A clamp, with a handle outside the machine, is then pivoted against the die assembly. The push-bar is adapted to be self-supporting without being bolted to the die assembly, keeping the push-bar in place without manual adjustment and alignment. The die assembly preferably includes a die, pin retainer, and punch pins, and preferably includes a flexible, pivotal, or hinged pin strap to secure the pins to the retainer. The preferred die assembly includes a positioning system that biases the pin retainer with its pin heads out from the die a proper distance for easy and unobstructed sliding into the machine housing and into a channel of the bar that drives the die assembly. The die assembly preferably includes a system for consistent referencing between various die assemblies, for reducing the instances in which the paper stop must be adjusted when a die assembly is changed.

A safety and rescue carabiner holder for securing a carabiner with its gate in the open position while extending the user's reach several feet in any direction, which is also capable of supporting a long and heavy segment of attached safety rope. The carabiner holder is mounted to the end of an extension pole and includes a restraining structure that grips the bottom of the carabiner and a set of spring-loaded jaw arms that firmly clamp the spine and gate arm of the carabiner in a manner strong enough to withstand any inadvertent shaking and bouncing, ensuring that the carabiner will stay in place until hooked into a target ring and the user releases the carabiner by pulling backwards on the extension pole.

The present invention relates to an implantation assembly comprising a hollow needle (20) with a longitudinal axis (L) and an opening slanted at an first acute angle in relation to a plane perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (L), a mandrel (21) adapted to slide within the inside the needle along the longitudinal axis (L), and a plurality of positioning markers (10), wherein each of the plurality of markers (10) comprises an elongated marker body (11) with a proximal end (12) and a distal end (13), wherein said proximal end (12) and said distal end (13) of said marker body (11) is slanted essentially at a same second acute angle (α) in relation to the plane, wherein said plurality of positioning markers (10) are mounted distally of said mandrel (21) within said needle (20) and proximally of the distal end of said needle (20) before implantation, and said plurality of positioning markers (10) being adapted to be implanted using said hollow needle (20) and said mandrel (21), wherein the marker body (11) of each of the said plurality of positioning markers (10) is adapted to tilt and rotate in reference to the longitudinal axis (L) of the needle after exiting the slanted opening of the needle (20).

A direct current relay having a permanent magnet housing according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an upper frame having an open lower surface, and a lower frame having an open upper surface and coupled to the lower portion of the upperframe; a permanent magnet housing formed in a box shape having an open lower surface, disposed inside the upper frame or lower frame, and having a permanent magnet insertion portions provided on eachof the front surface and the rear surface thereof; a permanent magnet arranged in the permanent magnet insertion portion; and a permanent magnet holder coupled to the permanent magnet housing and supporting the permanent magnet.

A prophylactic device includes a base for receiving a portion of a body, a tip for containing body fluids, and a tubular body in between. The tubular body includes at least one area with a textured pattern, including lines running along the tubular body (e.g., lines running in at least three directions) that form shapes on the tubular body with portions of the lines forming edges of the shapes (e.g., circles, ellipses, polygons, etc.). The textured pattern forms a reinforcing mesh that wraps around the tubular body. A mold can be used for making the prophylactic device, where the mold includes different portions for receiving material(s), and is shaped to form the material(s) into the base, tip, and tubular body of the prophylactic device.

In a preferred embodiment, this invention provides an easy-to-use, adjustable-head toothbrush that provides two or more locking angles for brushing.
