自閉症を持ちながら活躍されている方は多くいらっしゃいます。

米津玄師さんもそうですね。

Temple Grandinさんも自閉症と診断されながら世界を変えた偉人のお一人です。

畜産業でGrandinさんは革命を起こしています。

その生い立ちや業績はTED Talksや書籍でさまざまに紹介されています。

映画もお勧めです。

Modular tulip assembly

USP 11154331

チューリップ(tulip)は、技術分野では花🌷以外の意味で使わることがあります。

この特許のtulipは何かな？

カレンダーcalendar、ドレッシングdressingなども全く異なる意味を持っています。

カレンダーは加工方法、ドレッシングは傷の治療材。

興味深いですよね

What is claimed is:

A modular tulip assembly comprises: 

a rod receiving tulip; 

a saddle having a locking projection on a proximal portion of the saddle; 

wherein the tulip has a pair of recesses or grooves, a proximal groove or recess and a distal locking groove or recess, 

wherein the locking projection is positioned into the proximal groove or recess and holds the saddle in a pre-loaded unlocked state ready to be pushed onto a head of an implanted bone screw and upon receiving the head of the bone screw, the saddle can be moved distally relative to the tulip to a locked state by moving the proximal end of the saddle past the proximal groove or recess into the distal locking groove or recess, the locking projection fixing the saddle from moving proximally; 

wherein the tulip has internally threaded walls defining a slotted opening for receiving a rod and wherein the pair of recesses or grooves are axially spaced below the internally threaded walls.

形容詞 proximalとdistal は対で使います。

ここでは副詞である proximallyとdistally も使われています。

副詞としては他に axially、internally も使われていますね。

a main member;

a receiving member rotatably attached to the main member and configured to receive and hold a bird by its scapula-humeral joint in a first position and to release the bird in a second position of the receiving member, the receiving member comprising at least two substantially V-shaped members, each of the at least two substantially V-shaped members having an elongate portion, a first leg extending downwardly from the elongate portion, a bend portion at an end of the first leg to receive the bird at its scapula-humeral joint, and a second leg extending upwardly from the bend portion; and

a locking member movably attached to the main member and configured to lock the receiving member in the first position and to unlock the receiving member to rotate the receiving member from its first position to its second position to release the bird.

３つのエレメントの相互関係と機能がきちんが書かれていること、

その中のfirst、secondの使い方、eachの使い方などが大いに勉強になります。

I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.

The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.

That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.IT professionals have a responsibility to understand the use of standards and the importance of making Web applications that work with any kind of device.
