A displaying device comprises an outer rotational member and an inner rotational member. The displaying device is incorporated with a game machine. The outer rotational member of the displaying device is rotated in a lateral direction of the game machine. The inner rotational member is rotated in a perpendicular direction of the game machine. The rotational members are rotated in the different directions with each other, and are respectively stopped. After the rotational members have been stopped, a game result is determined in accordance with a stop state of the rotational members. The outer rotational member represents a dividend of the game, and the inner rotational member represents whether the game is a win or loss.

A catheter for use in a patient's heart, especially for mapping a tubular region of the heart, has a catheter body, a deflectable intermediate section and a distal mapping assembly that has a generally circular portion adapted to sit on or in a tubular region of the heart. A control handle of the catheter allows for single-handed manipulation of various control mechanisms that can deflect the intermediate section and contract the mapping assembly by means of a deflection control assembly and a rotational control assembly. The deflection control assembly has a deflection arm and a rocker member. The rotational control assembly has an outer rotational member, an inner rotational member and a cam. A pair of puller members are responsive to the deflection control assembly to bi-directionally deflect the intermediate section. A third puller member is responsive to the rotational control assembly to contract the generally circular portion of the mapping assembly.

An apparatus and method of stirring cells in liquid culture media is provided. Baffles are mounted along the interior wall of the container and a hump is positioned on the center of the bottom surface of the container. A stirring apparatus is positioned inside the container. The blades of the stirring apparatus are angled outward toward the bottom of the container. The bottom edge of the blades extend closer to the bottom surface of the container then the apex of the hump.

A magnetic bar is attached to the shaft and is driven by an external rotating magnetic bar.

A fruit/vegetable juice spinning filter includes a container, a strainer basket, and a cover. The container internally defines a chamber and is provided with a bottom opening and a juice outlet. The strainer basket is disposed in the chamber of the container to define a filtered juice receiving space between the container and the strainer basket. The strainer basket has a spinning shaft downward extended through the bottom opening of the container to associate with an external rotary drive source. The cover closes a top of the container and the strainer basket. When an amount of primarily extracted and pulp-containing fruit/vegetable juice is poured into the strainer basket, and the spinning shaft and accordingly the strainer basket are driven by the external rotary drive source to spin, the primarily extracted juice in the strainer basket is centrifugally separated from the pulp to produce almost pulp-free juice.

A brushless disk DC motor that exhibits high power density and light weight and is capable of power regeneration and reverse operation employs a flat circular non-ferrous stator plate having a plurality of electromagnets mounted in a ring pattern on an inner face thereof. Permanent magnets are mounted in equal numbers in inner and outer ring patterns on the outer and inner cylindrical surfaces, respectively, of a pair of steel rotors of different diameter that rotate in concert. The stator plate and the pair of rotors are axially aligned such that the inner and outer rings of permanent magnets rotate adjacent to and inside and outside, respectively, the ring of electromagnets. The electromagnets utilize tape-wound amorphous metal cores to minimize eddy currents and resultant iron losses and to permit the use of heavier gauge copper windings to minimize resistive power losses. A greater number of poles in the form of permanent magnets can be accommodated, the number being limited only by the diameter of the rotor, thus providing increased power and torque over prior art brushless DC motors having a limited number of poles. The present motor exhibits up to 200% more starting torque, thus eliminating the need for a gear box or clutch in electric vehicle applications.

A superconducting electrical machine has rotor and stator assemblies. A first rotor assembly is located to rotate within a stator assembly and is spaced from the stator assembly by an air gap. A second rotor assembly is located to rotate outside the stator assembly and is also spaced from the stator assembly by an air gap. The first and second rotor assemblies have at least one superconducting field winding. The superconducting field windings are formed from a High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) material such as BSCCO-2223 or YBCO, for example. The double rotor assembly configuration provides a new technical effect over conventional rotating superconducting machines having a single rotor assembly.

A SOI-MEMS gyroscope has a three fold symmetrical construction such that is symmetrical in the x direction, the y direction and diagonally. The gyroscope is suspended above a silicon substrate by lateral flexures that are located at the corners of the proof mass and by central flexures that are positioned at the center regions of the proof mass. The proof mass, lateral flexures, and central flexures are formed of a silicon composition with the flexures supporting the proof mass such that the proof mass will not touch the underlying base silicon substrate even when subjected to extreme G forces. Comb finger actuators apply an electrostatic force to the proof mass in the x direction; and, when experiencing an external rotational rate around the z-axis, the Coriolis force acts along the y direction and the resulting deflection is sensed by a pair of comb-finger capacitors connected as a differential capacitive voltage divider.
