An endoscope cleansing accessory is described for use with an automatic endoscope reprocessing (AER) apparatus which utilizes the motive force provided by a flowing cleansing fluid already within the AER to actuate an actuator wheel of the endoscope during the cleansing process. The movement or actuation of the actuator wheel during cleansing in turn imparts a back and forth motion to an elevator platform or forceps raiser within the endoscope to loosen tissue and other particles that are then flushed out by the flowing cleansing fluid.

An aircraft flight control system includes a first actuator attached to a wing main body, a horn arm configured to transmit an output of the first actuator to a control surface, and a second actuator that is a rotary actuator and attached to the control surface. At least one of the first actuator and the second actuator is an electromechanical actuator (EMA). A first end of the horn arm is coupled to an output terminal of the first actuator, and a second end of the horn arm is fixed to an output terminal of the second actuator. The second actuator is attached to the control surface such that a turning axis of the output terminal is parallel to or coincides with a fulcrum axis (hinge line) of the control surface.

A drive converter device is provided for converting a rotational drive of a drive device into a translational actuation movement for a shifting element of a transmission unit with a cam disk that is rotatable and adjustable in an axial direction is described. The cam disk is formed with track areas with defined gradients, in the area of which the cam disk is in operative connection with at least one fixed-housing element. The cam disk is translationally adjustable in respect of the elements through rotational movement of the cam disk, depending on the gradients of the track areas. Furthermore, an axle transmission device with a shifting element is described; in the area of which, an operative connection between a shaft of a differential and a shaft connectable with a wheel of a vehicle axle is able to be produced. The shifting element is able to be actuated by the drive converter device.

Apparatus for converting between rotary motion and linear motion includes a rotatable piece being rotatable about an axis; at least one member having a linking surface facing the rotatable piece and arranged for movement relative to the axis of the piece; and a means for linking the linking surface of the respective member and the surface of the rotatable piece, so that rotational motion of the rotatable piece causes linear movement of the at least one member, and/or linear movement of the at least one member causes rotational motion of the rotatable piece. A sawing device may include said apparatus for cutting by repetitive reciprocating cutting action. A saw blade may be configured for such a sawing device.
