Steven Senne, Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Celeste Corcoran, in her yellow "Boston Strong" hat, navigated her way across the artificial turf on her artificial legs, a volunteer on each arm to keep her upright.
One of her assistants had a pair of prosthetics of his own.
"Normally you walk around and you see everybody with two legs. Especially in the summertime — all you see is legs," Corcoran said, pausing to choke back tears. "It's easy to miss yours.
"But when I see everybody here walking and running, it's OK," she said after a running clinic for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and other amputees. "I just want to be able to do the things that I did before. ... So many people have my back, I feel like I can do it. I'm trying my hardest to enjoy being alive."
Dozens of amputees showed up at the Harvard athletic fields on a rainy Sunday morning along with their family and physical therapists and other volunteers to learn how to run — or run better — with prosthetic legs. Corcoran, who lost both legs in the explosions at the marathon finish line, wasn't much of a runner before, but she said she hopes that she will someday be able to join in a 5K or fun run.
"I've always wanted to be a runner but I used to get shin splints," she said. "I don't have shins anymore, so I'm hoping,"
The joke has apparently been repeated so often that her daughter is ready for it. Sydney Corcoran, 18, is wearing a matching yellow hat along with ankle-length tights that showed the effects of the shrapnel that scarred her legs but did not require amputation. She was on Boylston Street with her mother when the bombs went off, waiting for her aunt to finish the marathon.
Across the field, a boy with two prosthetic legs, no more than 4 years old, was learning to kick a soccer ball with the carbon fiber blades. Two older boys wrestled playfully while the bigger one played keep-away with the younger's prosthesis.
"The most inspiring stories are at the back of the pack," two-time Boston Marathon winner Joan Benoit Samuelson said at the start of the clinic. "Our motto is 'There is no finish line.' There are always more challenges out there. You people who came out today are the spokesmen for those challenges."
Organized by the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which helps amputees and others with disabilities participate in sports, the clinic brought together marathon victims, those wounded in the military and other amputees. Coach Bob Gailey ran them through a series of increasingly complicated drills, then lined them up for an obstacle course that was the highlight of the day.
Similarly skilled participants match up in a relay race. Some runners fall; others have trouble weaving through the cones or stepping around the ropes. But everyone cheered.
One woman made her way through the lanes, saying aloud, with a smile, "I'm not going to fall this time." Another wore a T-shirt that said, "I am a Champutee."
"It's inspiring," said David Driscoll, a doctor who was working at the marathon's finish line medical tent on race day. Because his son, Brendan, was born with an incomplete tibia and fibula, the elder Driscoll has also volunteered with the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
"It's very enlightening to see them coming and to see they're overcoming that. It helps me, too, to work through it," Driscoll said. "I don't say, 'There, but for the grace of God, go I.' I say, 'How can I be more like them.'"
Many of those who lost legs on marathon day have been fitted for the heavy-duty prosthetics they call their everyday legs. Running is easier with the carbon-fiber blades — the "cheetah legs" made familiar by Olympian Oscar Pistorius — but insurance often doesn't cover them.

This Cricket store is fantastic! Not only do they have some of the best deals in town, Carlos is amazing!!! His knowledge and commitment to customer service is unsurpassed! He spent almost 2 hours helping me with a porting issue I had with an on-line purchase. He helped me while at the same time helped other customers and sold them new phones and services... all without a single loss of focus on what he was doing. This is the place to go for phones in LA and Carlos is the guy to work with! I saved 33% on a new phone with Carlos' help! The price beat ebay, amazon, and a few other "low priced" cell phone places. I found only one place that had the phone and service for less, but they were on the East coast! So come here for a great deal! Jim

First of all I heard a lot of good things about Cricket and I wasn't too happy with my carrier so I decided to stop at your store located on Central and Slauson in Los Angeles and I am glad I did. Bianca was very nice and made me feel very confident by answering all my questions and also with my desition about the phone model and plan. Thank you very much, I am a customer service associate for over 20 years and I do know the importance of making your customer happy. I will definitely recommend Cricket to anyone I know and specially the store I visited. Greetings, Sandra Ayala A very happy customer :)
This is by far one of the best cell phone stores in the Los Angeles area. They offer on the spot repair service and were able to fix my treo and blackberry lcd screens in one hour. They have a lot of cool nokia and other brand phones from overseas that are unlocked and work with tmobile and cingular. I had my blackberry unlocked before traveling to Italy and that saved me a whole bunch. Definitely recommonded.

Monet's "Water Lilies" touring Asia ahead of Christies auction
April 29, 2014 - 18:51 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Monet's "Water Lilies" will be lot No. 8 at the Christie's Impressionist and modern evening sale this spring, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The canvas was the VIP—Very Important Painting—at an exclusive party in Hong Kong, with a guest list that included art-world players from Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, Jakarta, Singapore and Malaysia. The 1907 painting, priced to sell for more than $25 million, is touring Asia with four Picassos and a handful of other works, part of a campaign to woo Asian collectors before the May 6 sale in New York.
Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso in particular have served as a bridge for cautious Chinese buyers seeking to move from acquiring only Chinese pieces to blue-chip Western works, said Rebecca Wei, president of Christie's Asia (excluding China). "Many people could not tell the difference between Renoir and Rembrandt," she said. "When they think about Western paintings, they think about Monet and Picasso."
The two marquee names have burned bright in China in recent months. An event billed as the first-ever Monet exhibition in mainland China, staged inside a shopping mall in Shanghai, has drawn lines around the block. Last fall, the first Picasso sold at auction in mainland China, fetching $1.9 million at the new Christie's location in Shanghai. Soon after, at the Christie's fall Impressionist and modern evening sale in New York, a Picasso portrait of two of the artist's children sold to Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin for $28.2 million, more than double its high estimate.
Landscapes like Monet's water lilies, a subject the artist explored in scores of paintings, appear as solid investments to Chinese buyers, some of whom have trouble relating to other Western genres like Old Masters portraits, said Ms. Wei. "Chinese, they see it as a bit strange to have someone's foreign face in their sitting room," she said. It doesn't hurt that landscapes are the most popular theme in Chinese paintings, too, she said. "There's a natural linkage there."

This invention generally relates to power transmission devices or actuators of the rotary-to-linear motion converting type. Such devices are widely used wherever a rotary power input, such as that furnished by an electric motor or the like, is desired to provide a linear output. This invention more particularly relates to "harmonic screw" actuators of the general type disclosed in my prior U.S. Pat. No. 4,557,153, wherein rotary motion of the power input component is converted into linear motion of the output component by means of a strain wave imposed upon a flexible sleeve member of the assembly. In this prior patent, the flexible sleeve is of a relatively thick wall construction and arranged to threadably engage with a sleeve forming an outer wall of the actuator, which is caused to undergo linear movement incident to rotary motion of the power input component.
The present invention is directed to a rotary/linear actuator, wherein a rotary component fixed against axial displacement serves to deform a rotatably fixed thin walled sleeve into threaded engagement with a rotatably and axially fixed outer sleeve, so as to impart axial movements to the flexible sleeve.
The actuator features means for controlling the extent of rotational movement of the rotary component in a manner serving to prevent transfer of inertia of the rotational components of the actuator to the flexible sleeve at the limits of its path of travel or at any point therealong at which it is desired to terminate movement of such flexible sleeve.
The actuator additionally features an improved arrangement for mounting a drive motor within the actuator and a fully enclosed potentiometer for providing a signal indicative of the position of the flexible sleeve along its path of travel.
The nature and mode of operation of the present invention will now be more fully described in the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an actuator formed in accordance with a preferred form of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 3--3 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 4--4 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but showing an opposite rotation limiting condition;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 6--6 in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 7 is a view illustrating an alternate stroke plate design.
Reference is first made in FIG. 1, wherein a rotary/linear actuator formed in accordance with a preferred form of the present invention is generally designated as 10 and shown for purposes of illustration in association with an hydraulic spool type valve 12 generally depicted in broken line as including a ported valve casing 12a and valve spool 12b.
Actuator 10 generally includes a generally cylindrical housing or casing 14 having a central section 14a having its opposite ends threadably or otherwise suitably connected to a pair of end sections 14b and 14c; end section 14b being apertured to receive a plug 16 adapted to be connected to a suitable electrical source and readout device, not shown, and section 14c being apertured to allow a displacement actuator member, such as rod 18, to project outwardly of the housing for connection to a device, such as valve spool 12b, to be subjected to linear displacements under the control of actuator 10. In the illustrated construction, end section 14c is also adapted for attachment to valve casing 12a, so as to provide a closure for one end of the valve casing, and to a convenient support for actuator 10.
Acutator 10 additionally includes an outer sleeve 20 serving to define an internally screw threaded portion 20a; an inner sleeve 22, which serves to define an externally screw threaded portion 22a; rotary means 24 arranged inwardly of inner sleeve 22 in engagement with peripherally separate portions of its inner surface; an electrically powered motor 26 for effecting oppositely directed rotations of rotary means 24; means 28 for mounting motor 26 within housing 14; a movement control means 30 for controlling the extent or limits of rotational movement of rotary means 24; and means 32 for connecting inner sleeve 22 to rod 18 and constraining the inner sleeve against rotation relative to housing 14, while permitting reciprocation of the inner sleeve lengthwise of the housing.
In the illustrated construction, outer sleeve 20 is rigid and fixed against displacement lengthwise of housing 14 by being clamped intermediate end section 14c and a first mounting member 34, which in turn engages with an annular abutment surface 36 defined by central section 14a. Rotation of outer sleeve 20 relative to housing 14 and first mounting member 34, and thus rotation of such first mounting member relative to the housing, is constrained by providing opposite ends of the outer sleeve with keys in the form of a pair roll pins 38,38 received within keyways or slots 38a,38a formed in end section 14c and the first mounting member.
Inner sleeve 20 is preferably formed of a resiliently deformable material, such as a Nylon alloy having self-lubricating properties, and has a minimum wall thickness as required to provide for a maximum cycle life for any design loading condition. The degree of resiliency of the inner sleeve must necessarily be sufficient to permit radially directed deformations thereof as required for mating engagement of threaded portions 20a and 20a. On the other hand, the inner sleeve must possess sufficient rigidity in a direction extending axially thereof to resist crushing or buckling thereof under operational loading conditions, as the inner sleeve is linearly displaced for purposes of moving rod 18 in the manner to be described. In accordance with a presently preferred form of the invention, inner sleeve 22 is provided with a relatively short, non-threaded end section adapted for attachment to connecting and constraining means 32, and the axial length of threaded portion 22a is approximately equal to the distance through which rod 18 is to be displaced, plus the effective axial length of rotary means 24 disposed in engagement with the inner sleeve. Also, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the non-threaded end section of the inner sleeve be intermediate the diameter of the roots and crests of the threads forming the thread portion.
Rotary means 24 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 as including a cage 40 generally defined by a pair of ring-shaped end walls 40a and 40b interconnected to assume a parallel relationship by a plurality of connecting legs 40c; roller devices 42 received one within each of a plurality of radially opening recesses 44, which have their radially disposed inner ends arranged in communication and are defined by the end walls and connecting legs; and a roller device drive/supporting shaft 46 arranged to be freely received within the cage for frictional driving engagement with each of the roller devices. The elements of rotary means 24 are sized such that roller devices 42 project radially outwardly of cage 40 for engagement with peripherally separate portions 22b of the inner surface of inner sleeve 22 and serve to force radially aligned areas of externally screw threaded portion 22a to move outwardly to lie in threaded engagement with internally screw threaded portion 20a, as best shown in FIG. 3. In the presently preferred construction, roller devices 42 are three in number and disposed for rotation about uniformly annularly spaced axes disposed parallel to a rotational axis 50 of cage 40, which is arranged coincident with the axis of shaft 46. Also, in the present construction, roller devices 42 are defined by cylindrically shaped metal rollers 42a having pairs of balls 42b press fit therewithin and arranged to cooperate with facing surfaces of cage end walls 40a and 40b to form end bearing devices for the rollers, as best shown in FIG. 1.
Motor 26 is of generally cylindrical construction having first and second or opposite end surfaces 26a and 26b fitted with projecting bushings 26c and 26d serving to support a motor drive shaft 26e sized and arranged to project outwardly of the motor casing through bushing 26c for driving connection with shaft 46 via coupling sleeve 52. End surface 26a is additionally formed with a locating recess 26f.
Motor mounting means 28 is shown in FIG. 1 as including above mentioned first mounting member 34, which is arranged for engagement with motor first end surface 26a; a second mounting member 54, which is slidably supported by housing central section 14a and arranged for engagement with motor second end surface 26b; and spring means in the form of one or more split rings 56, which are snap fit received within a radially inwardly opening annular slot 58 defined by the housing central section and serve to bias the second mounting member towards the first mounting member for purposes of clamping the motor axially therebetween. Rotation of motor 26 relative to mounting members 34 and 54, and thus housing 14, about axis 50 is prevented by providing such mounting members with through openings 34a and 54a sized to slidably received bushings 26c and 26d, respectively, and by further providing the first mounting member with a locating projection in the form of a split pin 34b sized for slidable receipt within locating recess 26f.
Movement control means 30 is shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 as including a driver in the form of a lug 60 arranged to project from an annular extension 62 formed integrally with cage end wall 40b in a direction extending relatively towards first mounting member 34; a rotary fixed abutment defined for example by an end of split pin 34b disposed remotely of motor 26; and a motion transmission means 64 having an inlet end 64a provided with annularly spaced first and second portions or surfaces 66a and 68a arranged for alternate driven engagement by lug 60 and an outlet end 64b provided with annularly spaced first and second portion or surfaces 66b and 68b arranged for alternate abutting engagement with split pin 34b. More specifically, motion transmission means 64 includes a generally C-shaped resiliently deformable first member or spring 70, which is rotatably supported by a portion of the inner cylindrical surface of outer sleeve 20 arranged radially outwardly of a clearance surface 72 defined by a stepped diameter extension 74 formed integrally with first mounting member 34 and has its opposite or free ends turned radially inwardly to define portions or surfaces 66b and 68b; a second member 76, which is in the form of a flat annular plate or ring and carries a second abutment in the form of a pin 78 projecting transversely in opposite directions therefrom; and a third member 80 in the form of a flat annular plate or ring having a radial projection or enlargement 82 serving to define first and second portions 66a and 68a. Second and third members 76 and 80 are rotatably supported by a cylindrical bearing surface 84, which is defined by first mounting member extension 74, and such members are positionally located lengthwise of axis 50 by sliding engagement with facing annular bearing surfaces 86 and 88 defined by cage end wall extension 62 and first mounting member extension 74, respectively. By referring to FIG. 1, it will be understood that the lengths of pins 34b and 78, as measured lengthwise of axis 50, is such as will permit adjacent ends of such pins to alternately engage with surfaces 66b and 68b, while providing a clearance between such adjacent ends to allow rotation of second member 76 relative to first mounting member 34 through an angle exceeding 360�. In like fashion, the lengths of pin 78 and lug 60 permit their adjacent ends to alternatively engage with surfaces 66a and 68a, while providing a clearance between such adjacent ends sufficient to permit rotation of lug 60 relative to second member 76 through an angle exceeding 360�.
FIG. 4 illustrates a first limiting position of motion control means 30, which is defined by engagement of lug 60 with surface 66a, surface 68a with pin 78, pin 78 with surface 68b and surface 66b with pin 34b. An opposite or second limiting position of motion control means 30 is shown in FIG. 5 as being defined by engagement of lug 60 with surface 68a, surface 66a with pin 78, pin 78 with surface 66b and surface 68b with pin 34b. by viewing FIGS. 4 and 5, it will be understood that movement of motion control means 30 from its first limiting position towards its second limiting position is initiated by clockwise directed rotational movement of lug 60 away from its initial position shown in FIG. 4, such rotational movement is succession placing the lug in engagement with surface 68a to initiate clockwise directed rotational movement of third member 80 to in turn place surface 66a in engagement with pin 78 to initiate clockwise directed rotational movement of second member 76 to in turn place pin 78 in engagement with surface 66b to initiate clockwise directed rotational movememt of first member 70 and to in turn place surface 68b in engagement with pin 34b for purpose of arresting further rotation of the lug in a clockwise direction. Upon engagement of surface 68b with pin 34b and of surface 66b with pin 34b coincident with the arrival of motion control means 30 in its second and first limiting positions, respectively, first member 70 is caused to undergo resilient deformation for purposes of cushioning or providing a resilient bumper for the motion control means. The degree of resilient deformation of member 70 may be suitably limited, such as by abutting engagement between facing end surfaces 66b' and 68b' of such member.
The construction illustrated in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 allows rotations of lug 60 and thus cage 40 between limiting positions, which in turn allows for oppositely directed translations of inner sleeve 22, and thus rod 18. The stroke of inner sleeve 22 may be selectively reduced by providing a group of two or more third members 80, which differ one from another only in the annular spacing between surfaces 66a and 68a. In FIG. 7, primed numerals 66a' and 68a' designate surfaces corresponding to surfaces 66a and 68a, but which have a relatively reduced annular spacing therebetween due to the provisions of third member 80' with a projection 82' having a greater annular extend than projection 82.
Again referring to FIG. 1, it will be noted that first mounting member 34 additionally serves to support cage 40 for rotation about axis 50. Specifically, member extension 72 is formed with an annular recess 90, which opens outwardly through bearing surface 84, and cage wall extension 62 is formed with an annular inwardly opening recess 92, which cooperates with recess 90 to accommodate a plurality of ball or other suitable bearing devices 94.
Connecting and constraining means 32 is shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6 as including a connector plate 96, which is disposed to extend transversely of inner sleeve 22 and is provided at its opposite ends with pairs of lugs 98 and 98 sized to be slidably received within pairs of apertures 100 and 100 formed in the inner sleeve; and a guide plate 102, which is slidably supported by outer sleeve 20 and serves to secure rod 18 to the connector plate. Guide plate 102 is formed with a guide slot 104 arranged to cooperate with a guide pin 106 fixed to housing end section 14c in order to contrain the connector plate, and thus the inner sleeve, against rotation about axis 50, while permitting reciprocating movements thereof lengthwise of housing 14. Guide plate 102 may be suitably secured to connector plate 96, as by a pair of bolts 108 and 110. Preferably, rod 18 is properly positioned and connected to connector plate 102 by the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 as including a position control pin 112, which is slidably seated within a through opening 114 formed in connector plate 102 and has an enlarged head 116 slidably received within an enlarged diameter bore opening 118 axially aligned and communicating with a reduced diameter bore opening 120 formed in guide plate 102 and sized to freely receive rod 18; a frusto-conical mounting portion 18a, which is formed integrally with an inner end of rod 18 and arranged to seat against an inwardly facing frusto-conical bearing surface 122 joining bore openings 118 and 120; and one or more Belleville washers 124 arranged within bore opening 118 intermediate enlarged head 116 and mounting portion 18a. The arrangement is such that tightening of bolts 108 and 110 places bearing surface 122 in engagement with mounting portion 18a and then serves to clamp Belleville washers 124 intermediate such mounting portion and enlarged head 116; the Belleville washers slightly deforming as required to compensate for manufacturing tolerances in the axial or lengthwise dimensions of bore opening 118, enlarged head 116 and mounting portion 18a and serving to thereafter cushion rod 18 against axially applied loads.
In the illustrated construction, the outer end of rod 18 is supported by a fluid sealing piston 126 slidably supported by housing end section 14c. When actuator 10 is used in other environments, so as to avoid inclusion of piston 126, the outer end of rod 18 may be slidably supported within a guide opening 128 defined by housing end section end wall 130.
In accordance with a presently preferred construction, actuator 10 is provided with a touch controlled potentiometer 132, which serves to provide an output signal indicative of the axial position of rod 18 relative to housing 14. Potentiometer 132 includes a control element or section 134, which is disposed parallel to axis 50 and is comprised of coextensive, elongated resistant and conductive members, not shown, which are normally disposed in a spaced relationship, but adapted to be moved into engagement by a force applied at any point along their lengths to provide a voltage gradient indicative of the position of such point; an electrical cable section 136 for coupling the control element to plug 16; and a force applying element preferably in the form of a roller 138 coupled to a mounting arm 140 via a pin or axle 142. Roller 138 is disposed in bearing or force applying engagement with control element 134 and coupled to rod 18 for displacement lengthwise of the control element by attaching arm 140 to guide plate 102 by means of bolt 108 and a clamping block 144. It will be understood that any suitable means may be coupled to plug 16 for purposes of applying a desired voltage to control element 134 and measuring the voltage gradient resulting from contact of roller 138 therewith, so as to provide a suitable signal indicative of the position of the roller and thus rod 18. Reference may be made to U.S. Pat. No. 3,895,288 for a disclosure of the construction of a touch actuated control element and means for measuring a voltage gradient.
In describing the mode of operation of acutator 10, it will be assumed that rod 18 is initially disposed in its fully retracted position shown in FIG. 1, which is defined when movement control means 30 is in its second limiting position shown in FIG. 5. Upon energization of motor 26, drive shaft 26e and thus shaft 46, is driven in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 5, whereby to effect clockwise directed rotational movement of roller devices 42 relative to cage 40, as viewed in FIG. 3. Clockwise directed rotational movement of roller devices 42, while in deforming engagement with the rotationally fixed inner sleeve 22, causes the roller devices to roll annularly of the inner sleeve such that cage 40 rotates and the points of engagement between threaded portions 20a and 22a move in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 3. As the points of engagement between threaded portions 20a and 22a move in a counterclockwise direction, inner sleeve 22 is displaced axially relative to axially and rotatably stationary or fixed outer sleeve 20, and as a result rod 18 forced to move outwardly of housing 14. Axial displacement of inner sleeve 22 and rod 18 continues until lug 60 drives first member surface 66b into engagement with abutment pin 34b to define the first limiting position of movement control means 30 shown in FIG. 4, whereupon counterclockwise directed rotation of cage 40 is arrested. With cage 40 held stationary by motion control means 30, motor 26 will normally stall if a rated load remains applied to rod 18, but if rod 18 is not subjected to loading at this point in time, shafts 26e and 46 may continue to rotate in which case roller devices 42 will simply rotate and slide relative to stationary or fixed points on the inner surface of inner sleeve 22 and no axial load will be applied to threaded portions 20a and 22a. If desired, motor 26 may be manually deenergized or automatically deenergized such as for example by making its control circuit responsive to rod stroke limit positions sensed by potentiometer 132. Rod 18 may be returned to its initial position by reversing motor 26, whereupon shafts 26e and 46, roller devices 42 and cage 40 are driven in opposite directions from those previously described until movement control means is returned to its second limiting position and rotation of cage 40 is again arrested. If desired, movement of rod 18 may be arrested in any position intermediate the opposite ends of its stroke, i.e. its fully retracted and extended positions, by simply deenergizing motor 26, and any such position may be easily determined by use of a rod position indicating signal generated by potentiometer 132. The utilization of movement control means 30 to define the limits of displacement of rod 18, as opposed to relying on an abutment(s) arranged for engagement with the rod or inner sleeve 22, is a particularly desirable feature of the invention, since it serves to absorb the rotational inertia of the components of the actuator without overloading or causing damage to inner sleeve threaded portion 22a.
In the illustrated construction, it is preferable that the as-formed outside diameter of inner sleeve 22 is slightly greater than the inside diameter of outer sleeve 20, such that a minimum degree of flexing of the inner sleeve is required to effect driving engagement between threaded portion 20a and 22a with a view to maximizing operational life of the inner sleeve. However, the outside diameter of inner sleeve 22 must be sufficiently small to insure that thread portion 22a is removed from engagement with thread portion 20a intermediate roller devices 42 in the manner depicted in FIG. 3. In the event that it is desired to modify actuator 10 to provide same with a "fail-safe" characteristic, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,557,153, it would of course be necessary to provide inner sleeve 22 with an outside diameter, which is less than the inside diameter of outer sleeve 20, in order to permit uncoupling of the sleeve.
It is contemplated that various changes can be made in the illustrated construction including, as by way of example, forming the outer sleeve as an integral part of the actuator housing. Also, if required, the outer sleeve may be supported for power driven rotary movement relative to the actuator housing for purposes of providing for adjustments and/or rapid movements of the inner sleeve for various purposes, so long as means are also provided to selectively lock or constrain the outer sleeve against rotation, when it is desired to permit normal operation of the actuator in the manner previously described.

Annual sunflowers have been developed into a model system for the study of adaptation, hybridisation and speciation. Various species and populations have adapted to a wide range of extreme habitats, including salt marshes, sand dunes, desert floor and agricultural environments. In many cases, the process of adaptation has been facilitated by hybridisation between distinct species. Population genetic analyses of several species have revealed evidence of natural selection at loci potentially associated with adaptation to different environments, and genomic analyses indicate that the signature of adaptive divergence is found throughout the genomes of these species. In some cases, the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation and species differences may facilitate adaptive introgression and the formation of new hybrid species through adaptive ecological divergence.
Key Concepts:
Hybridisation has played an important role in adaptation in sunflowers, both through adaptive introgression and through the formation of adaptively divergent hybrid species.
Evidence for adaptive divergence in sunflowers comes from a number of sources, including field experiments, genetic mapping of adaptive traits and DNA sequence analyses.
The early morphological and ecological divergence of hybrid species can be experimentally replicated under environmental conditions similar to those encountered by the hybrid species in nature, providing strong evidence that it is adaptive.
Data from a number of sunflower species support the hypothesis that adaptive divergence is associated with large population size.

The problem
An L-shaped living and dining room layout resulted in clunky furniture arrangements and inefficient use of space.
The solution
Designer Candice Olson refocused and reorganized the awkward space, adding functionality and elegance.
How it happened
• Olson chose a color palette that is both elegant and timeless, incorporating natural tones such as sand, ivory, coffee and pewter. The bottom part of the walls are finished with a family-friendly, easy-to-clean panel molding. For the top, a rich, sand-colored wallpaper incorporates just a hint of shimmer into its timeless pattern.
• The family wasn't using the space as a dining room, so Olson turned that area into a cozy library, complete with built-in book shelves, a round wooden table, two comfy club chairs, and a small sofa. All seating is finished with nailhead trim to tie it together. Above the table hangs the piece de resistance: a stunning and sparkly chandelier whose design was inspired by the shape of a full, leafy tree.
• A new gas fireplace insert is surrounded with elegant Calacatta polished marble. Above the fireplace hangs a round mirror flanked by two sconces. On either side of the fireplace there's ample built-in cabinetry, creating storage and display space on one side, and a media center on the other. The TV now extends from the wall on a flexible arm, so it can be angled to face the room's large coffee-colored sectional sofa. The L-shaped sofa provides seating for both family and guests, with the family's reupholstered tufted ottoman taking pride of place in front of the hearth.
• Behind the sectional, ivory sheers are framed by new custom draperies in a Wedgwood blue. Their color brings out some of the room's best accents, including the ottoman fabric and some of the cushion covers.
• The paper-thin original hardwood flooring was replaced with a wide plank, red oak hardwood. The new floor has a slightly antiqued look that injects a more casual element into this space, making it seem warmer and more welcoming.
Best trick
Many times, people neglect the ceiling during a big renovation, Olson says. But in this renovated space, it's now the crowning glory with beautiful detailing from plaster ceiling molding and recessed lighting.

Webster wins Whitaker's debut 40-28
DIXON ? Mike Whitaker won his debut as Webster County's coach as the Trojans put up their highest point total in more than five seasons with a 40-28 win over Hopkins Central on Friday.
Quarterback Dillon Baty threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another. He completed 9-of-13 attempts for 275 yards.
Chance Cook scored two touchdowns on a 49-yard pass in the first half and a 90-yard kickoff return late in the third quarter.
Clayton Oliver had two rushing touchdowns.
Jamon Warren had two receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown just before halftime that gave Webster County an 18-6 lead.
The Trojans overcame a four-touchdown performance by Hopkins Central's DeAven Wilson, who carried the ball 31 times for 210 yards.
The loss was the 27th in a row for the Storm, which has lost to Webster County three straight years.
The 40 points scored by the Trojans were the most put on the board by a Webster County team since 41-22 win over Todd Central on Nov., 7, 2008.
