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。

Claims

1. A device for handling and grading living birds, wherein the device comprises:

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.

音はエネルギーです。その伝搬の記載は前置詞の練習になりますね。

• Sound must travel through something. 

• Your voice can travel through air. 

• Your voice can travel through string. 

• The tapping sounds can travel through a wall.

 • We say that sound needs a medium to travel through.

 • The medium your voice travels through is air

. • Sound travels through wood and bricks.

 • Sound travels very well in solids

What happens when there is no medium? If you are able to watch the video of a bell ringing in a vacuum, then do so. Sound needs a medium to be able to travel. A vacuum is where there is no air or any other matter. So do you think you will be able to hear a bell ringing in a vacuum?

真空＝ vacuum　は数えられる名詞です。上記でも A vacuumとなっていますね。

そしてテキストでは次に volume と pitchについて、わかりやすい説明が続いています。

Making sounds 

Sometimes you need to speak softly when you whisper a secret to a friend. 

But other times you need to shout loudly to your friend on the other side of the playing field! 

Sounds have different volumes. Also, a mouse makes a very squeaky, high sound. 

But a lion makes a low growl. 

The sounds that these animals make have different pitches.

「エネルギー」の入力と出力

2.2 Input and output energy (以下、改行を入れています）

Whenever anything happens, energy is transferred from one component into another.

People, machines and appliances need an energy input to work. 

They also have an energy output that may be useful. 

Let's look at some examples. 

Example 1: 

A girl is running a race. In order for the girl to have energy, she needs energy from somewhere. 

Her input energy is the chemical energy from the food that she ate. 

By running the race, she is giving out energy in the form of movement energy and heat.

次の例に挙げられているのはTVです。

Example 2: 

Your TV will only work if it is plugged in. It needs energy to work. 

While watching TV, (    　　　　　 ) is the input and (   　　　　　　　　   ) is the output.
