    Abstract: A coupler for connecting a drive shaft to a driven member and accommodating a substantial misalignment between the drive shaft and the driven member, while minimizing audible noise and vibration. The coupling includes a hollow core nest element having a plurality of slots formed in one end, two substantially identical elongate body elements, and a plurality of spring elements. Each elongate body element has two ends, a first end being adapted to couple with either the drive shaft or the driven member, and a second end that includes a plurality of posts that engage the slots of the hollow core nest. An aperture in the hollow core nest is larger than the diameter of the elongate bodies, allowing for the components to move radially relative to each other to accommodate for any offset and misalignment between the longitudinal axes of the drive shaft and the driven member, while the spring elements ensure that the components positively contact one another to reduce audible noise that is otherwise produced by loose fitting components. In one embodiment, a spring element is integrally formed in the slots of the hollow core nest, such that the posts of the body elements are held in engagement with sides of the slots by the spring elements. This embodiment includes an end cap that prevents the posts from becoming disengaged from the slots. Another embodiment employs helical coil springs mounted externally around the hollow core nest.

    Abstract translation: 用于将驱动轴连接到从动构件并且在驱动轴和从动构件之间容纳基本上未对准的联接器，同时最小化可听见的噪音和振动。 该联接器包括一个中空的芯窝元件，其具有在一端形成的多个槽，两个基本相同的细长主体元件和多个弹簧元件。 每个细长主体元件具有两个端部，第一端部适于与驱动轴或从动构件联接，第二端部包括与中空芯部嵌套的槽接合的多个柱。 中空芯窝中的孔径大于细长体的直径，允许部件相对于彼此径向移动以适应驱动轴和从动构件的纵向轴线之间的任何偏移和不对准，而 弹簧元件确保部件正确地彼此接触以减少否则由松配合部件产生的可听见的噪音。 在一个实施例中，弹簧元件一体地形成在中空芯窝的槽中，使得主体元件的柱通过弹簧元件保持与槽的侧面接合。 该实施例包括防止柱从槽脱离的端盖。 另一个实施例采用螺旋螺旋弹簧，其外部围绕中空芯窝安装。

    CPC classification number: A23P30/20

    Abstract: A mechanism (10) includes a slide plate (32) having die openings (38) adapted to hold dies (42a, 42b) and slideable relative to a cooker/extruder (12). Rotary cutters (74) are rotatably mounted relative to and moveable with the dies (42a, 42b). In one preferred form, a motor (76) can be connected and disconnected to the rotary cutter (74) aligned with the cooker/extruder (12) by a male coupling (96) including an elastomeric band (106) tensioned in a groove (102) formed in an outer peripheral surface (100) and received within the inside surface (116) of a cylindrical body (114) of a female coupling (108). Thus, it is not necessary to shut down the cooker/extruder (12) to service or change the dies (42a, 42b) and/or the rotary cutters (74). An annular wear plate (134) is sandwiched between the slide plate (32) and a frame element (18) having a central aperture (126) into which the barrel (14) of the cooker/extruder (12) is slideably received. A center plate (130) extends through the wear plate (134) and is received within the central aperture (126) and is fastened to the barrel (14). Mixer elements (59) are retained in the subpassageways (124) of the barrel (14) by the center plate (130) and can be removed through one of the die openings (38) when the die (42a, 42b) is removed therefrom and without removal of the barrel (14) from the frame element (18).

    Abstract: A white flowering dogwood tree showing better than usual cold and heat tolerance as well as bearing abundant multiple terminal floral bracts. This dogwood produces an unusual abundance of flowers as well as fruit, and exhibits a more pronounced broader than tall habit. There has been no appearance of anthracnose on this distinct variety of Cornus florida.

    Abstract: A connection device for connecting the strip conductors of a flat tape-like cable to corresponding conductor tracks on a printed circuit board, includes one member backed by a member for engaging the cable across its width and formed with projections for engaging the individual conductors, and a second, corresponding member for engaging the reverse side of the board. Pressure is applied between the members to establish a pressure connection between the conductors of the cable and the respective conductor tracks by means of latches forming part of the backing member and engaging surfaces at the ends of a member fixed to the second member.

    Abstract: This relates to filter columns for isolating nucleic acids, particularly at small elution volumes. The filter column is adapted for stable placement within the upper portion of standard plastic collection tubes of various sizes. The body of the filter column has a number of surfaces to accommodate placement within variously sized collection tubes. The filter column contains nucleic acid-specific filter which can be located at alternate regions within the filter column, providing different filter surface areas and loading volume capacities using the same column body. The filter column has an opening on an upper end adapted to be sealed by a cap. A method for recovering nucleic acids using such filter column is also provided.
