Disclosed is a portable, segmented pole support system used to elevate a camera for recording or photographing action in the area above a volleyball net during game play. The device is capable of supporting an attached camera, video apparatus, monitor, or similar equipment from a secure fitting on a weighted base. Once secured to the pole, the equipment may then be incrementally elevated by extending different sections of the segmented pole to a height exceeding the reach of the device operator. As the court sites change during a multiple-court volleyball tournament, the device may be readily unlocked and compacted into an assembly with an attached carrying handle. The device, being easily portable, may be rapidly set up at each succeeding court location.

A method of automatically performing an engine health check for checking the health of at least one turbine engine of an aircraft. During flight, the stability of at least one monitoring parameter is verified by acquiring a measurement signal, by performing first filtering of each signal by a high-pass filter over a long first duration (TPS1) and by verifying that a first amplitude (A1) of the signal filtered in this way does not exceed a first threshold defined by the manufacturer, by performing second filtering of each signal by a high-pass filter over a short second duration (TPS2) in parallel with said first filtering by a high-pass filter, and by verifying that a second amplitude (A2) of the signal filtered in this way does not exceed a second threshold defined by the manufacturer, the second duration (TPS2) being less than the first duration (TPS1), and the second amplitude (A2) being less than the first amplitude (A1).

Electromagnetic energy is applied to thereby oscillate a bubble that is then insonified to produce an echo (260) for reception and analysis to afford imaging of the region of the bubble. To create the bubble, the energy may be applied to a nano particle (232) of a contrast agent whose consequent internal nano- or micro-bubbles offer, with novel pulsing techniques, greater sensitivity, and which can permeate outside vasculature (216) prior to being energized thereby affording quantification of vascular permeability and delivery of targeting molecules. The particle can include an absorbing and an evaporating parts, the irradiation (204), as by near-infrared laser, causing the phase change that gives rise to the bubble. The echo may occur in response to ultrasound interrogation (220) of the activated contrast agent, which could entail pulse inversion, power modulation or contrast pulse sequence imaging, with persistence processing. The contrast agent might be mixed with microbubble based ultrasound contrast agent to facilitate the timing of bubble activation.

A method for manufacturing a medicated tampon assembly having a tampon body includes positioning a dosage form in a holder, heating the dosage form, contacting the dosage form with the tampon body, and allowing the dosage form to cool. The method may further include positioning a tampon first member in the holder prior to positioning the dosage form in the holder. In addition, a method for manufacturing a medicated tampon assembly having a tampon body includes positioning a dosage form in a holder, placing the dosage form and the tampon body in contact with each other, wherein the tampon body includes fibers, and moving one of the tampon body and the dosage form relative to the other of the tampon body and the dosage form such that the fibers of the tampon body interact with the dosage form.

An extrusion device for the extrusion of single- or multi-component materials from at least one container is provided. The extrusion device includes a housing having a functional section and a manual operation section. The housing extends substantially along an axial direction. The functional section includes at least one container receptacle. The manual operation section includes a lever arrangement via which an extrusion rod arrangement can be actuated to extrude materials from the at least one container. The lever arrangement includes a lever body mounted on a rotary axis. The lever body includes a lever push arm on one side of the rotary axis and a lever grip arm on the other side of the rotary axis. The lever push arm acts in a force-transmitting manner on a drive body attached on the extrusion rod arrangement upon actuation of the lever grip arm. The lever body includes a fork which forms at least two fork sections, and a fork trunk, wherein each of the at least two fork sections each extends into a lever push arm, and the fork trunk extends into the lever grip arm.

The problems are to provide a composition for dispersing a particle that exhibits excellent dispersing effects as to various particle suspensions and leads no environmental loadings, a composition having a particle stably dispersed therein and a process for producing the same, and a sintered compact of anatase-type titanium oxide.
