Haskell, do you read me?: constructing and composing efficient top-down parsers at runtime
Top-down parsing
In computer science, top-down parsing is a parsing strategy where one first looks at the highest level of the parse tree and works down the parse tree by using the rewriting rules of a formal grammar. LL parsers are a type of parser that uses a top-down parsing strategy. Top-down parsing is a strategy of analyzing unknown data relationships by hypothesizing general parse tree structures and then considering whether the known fundamental structures are compatible with the hypothesis.

Haskell (programming language)
Haskell is a standardized, general-purpose purely functional programming language, with non-strict semantics and strong static typing. It is named after logician Haskell Curry. In Haskell, "a function is a first-class citizen" of the programming language. As a functional programming language, the primary control construct is the function.
more from Wikipedia
Abstract syntax
The abstract syntax of data is its structure described as a data type (possibly, but not necessarily, an abstract data type), independent of any particular representation or encoding. To be implemented either for computation or communications, a mapping from the abstract syntax to specific machine representations and encodings must be defined; these may be called the "concrete syntax" (in language implementation) or the "transfer syntax" (in communications).
more from Wikipedia
Compile time
In computer science, compile time refers to either the operations performed by a compiler (the "compile-time operations"), programming language requirements that must be met by source code for it to be successfully compiled (the "compile-time requirements"), or properties of the program that can be reasoned about at compile time. The operations performed at compile time usually include syntax analysis, various kinds of semantic analysis and code generation.
more from Wikipedia
Principle of compositionality
In mathematics, semantics, and philosophy of language, the Principle of Compositionality is the principle that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meanings of its constituent expressions and the rules used to combine them. This principle is also called Frege's Principle, because Gottlob Frege is widely credited for the first modern formulation of it.
more from Wikipedia
In computer science and linguistics, parsing, or, more formally, syntactic analysis, is the process of analyzing a text, made of a sequence of tokens (for example, words), to determine its grammatical structure with respect to a given (more or less) formal grammar. Parsing can also be used as a linguistic term, for instance when discussing how phrases are divided up in garden path sentences.
more from Wikipedia
Library (computing)
In computer science, a library is a collection of resources used to develop software. These may include pre-written code and subroutines, classes, values or type specifications. Libraries contain code and data that provide services to independent programs. This encourages the sharing and changing of code and data in a modular fashion, and eases the distribution of the code and data. Some executables are both standalone programs and libraries, but most libraries are not executable.
more from Wikipedia
Data type
In certain technical fields, a data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data, such as real-valued, integer or Boolean, that determines the possible values for that type; the operations that can be done on values of that type; the meaning of the data; and the way values of that type can be stored.

Exhibition: Silent Conversations by Maggie Otieno, Sept. 25 – Nov. 20 2015 @ Nandi Road – Karen
Opening: September 26, 2015
Time: 2-4 pm
Exhibition Dates: September 25 – November 20, 2015
This body of work is a continuation of the 'Conversation' that has dominated Maggie Otieno's work for the last 7 years. She is engaging her audience to converse with the Elders and others: the sculptures created from a 100 year old red Indian teak wood (Railway Sleepers) and new and recycled metal. She uses this mix of complementary, seasoned, old and the new materials to symbolize societal inter-intra age synergies, dialogues and linkages as well as to arouse conversations within her audience.
To produce this body of works, Maggie has been inspired by looking at people having conversations, whether she is part of these conversations or not. 'I get caught up in the expressions, and gestures that I see. I have translated these distant conversations into my work and they therefore form a part of a continuous conversation within the audience that interacts with the works … The works on Block Board are 'ALL MY THOUGHTS' – A series of new works embodying the conversations that go through my mind as I interact with my materials, eliminating and adding onto elements at my discretion. It is about what I choose to remember and that which I choose to forget, and these too, are my Silent Conversations'
Maggie has taken part in numerous exhibitions, workshops and residencies both in Kenya, East African region, Algeria, Nigeria, Netherlands, USA and UK.

We stayed for 2 nights during our summer vacation. The first thing you may notice is the movie poster decor which lines the lobby and hallway walls. It was nice to see a hotel with a bit of character. The place is quite small and never seemed crowded when we were there.
The room is quite big, very clean and even came with a Jacuzzi tub. As one guest mentioned, however, there is no door in the bathroom and toilet area so make sure you both comfortable with that. Another drawback was the lack of a view in our room, our Windows faced a brick wall of the building next door one meter away so we had to keep our curtains drawn making the room rather dim even with all the lights on.
The free breakfast buffet was decent though not mind blowing, with a variety of sandwiches, noodles, congee and vegetables.
Location wise the hotel quite convenient, close to the might market and shopping districts. It's also very convenient to rent one of the kaohsiung city bikes 2 minutes walk south of the hotel. They are free for the first hour a around nd a great way to explore the city.

Peter Gammons on Josh Hamilton: "A Hero For Millions Trying to Fight Back."
Before we let Josh Hamilton's record-setting appearance at the Home Run Derby last night disappear from today's topics of conversation, let me direct you to Peter Gammons' column on the subject -- the headline of which reads, "Hamilton an inspiration in so many ways." A sampling of a piece worth your eyeballs' attention this afternoon:
Our heroes can be flawed. The Babe certainly was. Hamilton never stops reminding us that he, too, is flawed and that he's not ashamed to admit it and never will stop fighting. Josh Hamilton turned the page in his life, and Monday night he helped baseball begin the long, dry healing process of turning the page on the Dark Ages.
Thus far today, the piece has received nearly 600 comments. --Robert Wilonsky

This application is a Divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/247,999, filed May 24, 1994 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,467,964.
The present invention relates to a quick coupling component including one or more valve members for opening and closing a main flow, and a pressure reduction member arranged in a pressure reduction channel of at least one valve member. The pressure reduction member includes a first shut-off element arranged in the pressure reduction channel and provided with a spherical surface. The shut-off element, in a closed position for the pressure reduction channel, bears against a seat. In an open position for the channel the thus-off element is lifted from the seat by an activation member counter to the action of a spring function.
A pressure reduction function in quick coupling is already known, and in this respect reference can be made to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,564,042 and 5,159,955. In such a coupling, the pressure reduction function can be included in one or both of the coupling components. The pressure reduction function includes a shut-off element in the form of a ball that is acted upon, counter to the action of a spring, in order to lift it from its seat. Media can then flow past the shut-off element. The passing flow causes the pressure, acting counter to the coupling force of the coupling components, to be released. In this way coupling of the coupling components is considerably facilitated. Depending on how the pressure conditions appear before coupling, in the coupling arrangement in question the coupling component concerned or both coupling components is/are provided with a pressure reduction function.
There are great problems involved in achieving an appropriate pressure elimination function. The shut-off element must be completely sealed against the seat surface in question. Otherwise, media can leak past in the closure position of the pressure elimination function. Media can also leak out, for example, to the outer surface of the coupling component concerned. This surface is thus soiled with media, for example hydraulic oil. Such a soiling cannot normally be accepted. Accordingly, it is currently demanded of quick couplings that they should be able to function in or create a leakproof environment. In this connection, it should be mentioned that even the leaking of what are, relatively speaking, very small quantities of media presents problems. The aim of the invention, among other things, is to solve these problems.
The above-described problems are aggravated by the fact that the quick coupling should be able to be coupled against even relatively high pressures, for example pressures of 300 bar or more, which sets even higher demands on the sealing function in the pressure reduction function. The invention solves this problem too.
Quick couplings are generally manufactured in relatively long series. In addition, different components can be manufactured by different manufacturers. Also, an assembly can be carried out by yet another manufacturer. Furthermore, the different components manufactured in this way must, on the one hand, exhibit great accuracy of manufacture and, on the other hand, be able to function together in the finally assembled state of the couplings. This necessitates the independence of the pressure elimination function in relation to the manufacturing circumstances. The invention solves this problem too.
It must be possible for the quick coupling to function for relatively long periods of time without the need for frequent servicing and replacement of vital components in the coupling. Also it should be possible for a quick coupling to be subjected to a very large number, for example 100,000, of couplings and decouplings. This also places demands on the pressure elimination function, which should come into operation in all coupling instances. The present invention solves this problem too.
The quick coupling should be able to operate at different pressures and pressure conditions with increasing pressures. In addition, it should be possible for a quick coupling to be used in any chosen situation within a wide appropriate coupling range. The pressure reduction function must be able to function for all the connection possibilities which are conceivable for the coupling in question. The invention solves this problem.
Quick couplings are often part of a product range which is subject to pricing pressures, with the result that it must be possible to use efficient, automated and/or cost-effective manufacturing methods. This invention solves this problem too.
The feature which can principally be regarded as characterizing a quick coupling component according to the invention is that the seat is designed with a seat surface that corresponds to parts of the spherical surface of the shut-off element. The seat surface has a degree of fineness that to a great extent corresponds to the degree of fineness of a shut-off element. To a great extent here means that the degree of fineness of the seat surface should amount to 50-100%, preferably 75% or more, of the degree of fineness of a shut-off element that is used in this connection and has a hardness that substantially exceeds the hardness of the seat material, for example exceeds the hardness of the seat material by 1-4 times. A further characteristic of the invention is that an elasticity inherent to the material of the seat and/or the element contributes to the sealing function of the spherical element against the seat in the closed position.
In embodiments of the inventive concept the seat surface is established by means of upsetting or persistent deformation of the seat material. The elasticity in the material layer during the persistent deformation can, in this case, form part of the contribution to the sealing function of the shut-off element against the seat. In a preferred embodiment, the deformation is obtained with the aid of the shut-off element in question or a shut-off element that is used for the deformation in question. The deformation is obtained in this case by means of an actuating force or a knocking force applied to the shut-off element. That respective force is, in this case, of such an order of magnitude that the persistent deformation occurs in the seat material.
In some embodiments, especially in embodiments where the seat material is comparatively soft a bevelled surface is arranged on the seat. That surface is subjected to the actuating or knocking function. The bevelled surface of the seat can be used on softer seat material, for example brass. By means of the bevel, it is possible to eliminate in advance the flash edges and burrs in the seat material before the knocking function or the like is applied.
In a preferred embodiment, a force transmission member is arranged between the shut-off element/ball and a member effecting the spring function, for example a spring. The transmission member preferably comprises a plane surface that can cooperate with the sphere of the shut-off element and that is assigned a relatively small impression or depression in the shut-off element. The impression or depression is designed in such a way that its chord diameter assumes values of between 5-25% of the diameter of the shut-off element or ball. The impression or depression contributes to giving the shut-off element clear-cut opening and closure movements in relation to the seat and to giving considerable repetitiveness in the pressure reduction function.
In the exemplary embodiment the shut-off element has the shape of a ball with a hardness of 40-65, preferably approximately 55 HRC. The seat material can be made of free-cutting steel, that is of a steel that is here referred to as soft steel. The hardness of such steel can lie within the range of 150-170 HB. In accordance with the above, the seat can also be made of brass and can in this case have a hardness of 100-200 Hv. Stainless steel can also be used as the seat material, in which case the hardness is of the order of magnitude of approximately 100 HB.
In a preferred embodiment the coupling component in question is made of hardened material or with a hardenable outer layer. The hardened layer is removed adjoining the seat, for example by drilling, so that a seat of non-hardened material is obtained. In one embodiment the pressure reduction channel (part of it) can have a bore diameter of 2-3 mm, preferably of approximately 2.3 mm. The bore is approximately 60-85%, preferably approximately 75%, of the diameter of the ball used. In the seat, upsetting an impact energy is used of the order of magnitude of 0.3-1.0 newton/sec2. The seat surface preferably has a degree of fineness of 5-20�10-9 mm. The elasticity of the seat material can be chosen such that it provides elastic resilience or stretching of approximately 10-7 mm. In one embodiment, use is made of a shut-off element in the form of a plastic ball made of polyoxymethane.
In one embodiment the ball is furthermore arranged in a holder that is guided against an inner wall in the pressure reduction channel. The holder has spring members that bear along the spherical surface of the ball. The members extend somewhat past the halfway height, or radius of the ball so that the ball is held by the holder by means of the inherent resilience of the holder material. The ball cooperates with the seat via the part of its spherical surface that is not enclosed by the members. The holder members are guided against the wall of the pressure reduction channel, and the media can flow between the holder members when the pressure reduction function is activated. The holder has bearing members, for example pin, recess, for the spring members.
In one embodiment, the ball is arranged in such a way that its lifting height is less than the height of that part of the ball engaged in the seat when the ball assumes the closure position. The ball is in this way prevented from executing a pronounced lateral displacement movement in which the ball, in its lifted state, can leave the seat. In one embodiment the bottom of the seat can he inclined in relation to the inner wall of the pressure reduction channel, for example by 75�-95�, preferably approximately 80� or 90�.
Other embodiments of the construction of the pressure reduction channel and the pressure reduction member emerge from the patent claims which follow.
In a method for producing the abovementioned quick coupling component with a pressure reduction function, the seat is given a surface. The surface corresponds to the spherical surface of the shut-off element. The surface is provided with the aid of the first shut-off element or a second shut-off element, by means of the shut-off element in question being applied against the seat and being assigned a controlled knocking or actuating movement of an order of magnitude which is such that a substantial portion, for example 50-100%, of the degree of fineness of the shut-off element is transferred to the seat surface. The material of the seat and/or shut-off element is chosen with a degree of elasticity which is such that the material participates in the sealing function of the element in the seat.
In one embodiment of the novel method, an upsetting of the seat material is obtained by means of the knocking or actuating force. The elasticity in the material layer during the upsetting of the seat is made to contribute to the sealing function of the element in the seat. In one embodiment, the quick coupling component is made of hardened material. The hardened layer is removed adjoining the seat in order to obtain a non-hardened section adjoining the seat.
What has been proposed above ensures a reliable sealing function in the pressure reduction member. The seal paves the way for considerable leakproofness and use of the couplings in leak-proof environments. The method of manufacture is relatively simple, and standardized products can be used as regards the balls, springs, material, among other things, couplings with wide areas of use can be produced. The seat surface can be given the necessary degree of fineness in a simple manner. The same coupling can be used in different connection situations and can be assigned different areas of use. The couplings do not, therefore, have to be specially designed for each particular connection situation. The repetitiveness and the service life are outstanding using the new principles.

The invention can be used on and for different types of quick couplings that are to be provided with a pressure reduction function. In this respect, reference may be made in general to quick couplings of the type which appear in the above cited U.S. patents.
FIG. 1 shows a design of a valve body 1 arranged in a quick coupling component 2 (partially shown). By means of its longitudinal displacement movements 3, the valve body guides a main flow 4 through the coupling 2. A seat function 5 is opened and closed by the valve body 1. The valve body can be provided in this case with sealing members 6 for the main flow 4 that is to pass the valve body 1 and the seat 5 in a coupling stage or in the case of a fully established coupling between male and female coupling parts in a quick coupling.
The valve body 1 has a pressure reduction function that, in turn, comprises a pressure reduction channel 7 which leads from the one side 1a of the body 1 to the other side 1b of the body. The pressure reduction function also includes a shut-off element in the form of a ball 8. The ball is pressed against a seat 9 with the aid of a spring force obtained from a spring 10, which can consist of a cylindrical spring. In the embodiment shown, a bushing 11 is arranged to form a support member for the spring 10. The spring acts on the ball 8 via a force transmission member 12, which, in the case shown, has the shape of a pin with a head part and a peg-shaped part. The ball 8 can be acted upon by means of an activation member 13 in conjunction with the mechanical activation of the valve body 1 by means of a second longitudinally displaceable part 14 in the coupling component 2. In other embodiments of the coupling, the activation member can be acted upon by a male or female part, directly via this male or female part or via some other moveable valve body part.
Upon its activation by the part 14, the part 13 executes a longitudinal displacement movement and lifts the ball 8 from the seat 9 counter to the action of the spring 10. According to FIG. 1a, the pin 12 is designed with a peg-shaped part, extending inside the cylindrical spring. The spring 10 bears against the underside 12b of a head 12a of the pin 12. Furthermore, the ball 8 bears against the top face 12c of the pin 12. The head 12a, on its part supporting a face 12c, includes an impression 15 that is described in greater detail hereinbelow. The head 12a of the pin 12 is designed with a prismatic configuration according to FIG. 1b. The configuration has three wing-shaped parts 12d by means of which the pin cooperates with the inner wall 7a of the recess 7. When the ball is lifted, the flow of media can pass through the spaces 16 between the parts 12d.
FIG. 2 shows parts of the ball 8' and the seat 9' greatly enlarged. In FIG. 2a the surface 9a of the seat is shown to have a concave form that corresponds to the convex outer surface 8a of the ball 8'. The seat surface has come about by means of the material in the seat part 17, at the position for the seat surface, having been assigned a persistent deformation. The seat material is required to be relatively soft. The softness is here relative to the hardness of the ball. The ball is preferably three times harder than the seat material. The ball is of the type that can be purchased on the general market and has a hardness of, for example, approximately 55 HRC (Rockwell hardness, measurement form C). The seat can be made of free-cutting steel with a hardness of approximately 160 HB (Swedish standard SS 914). Alternatively, the seat material can be made of brass with a hardness of approximately 150 Hv (Swedish standard SS 5170) or stainless steel of approximately 100 HB (Swedish standard SS 2343).
By means of the choice of material, the seat material in the layer 17b is assumed to possess a certain slight elasticity during the persistent deformation 17a. The elasticity is actively utilized in the sealing function between the ball and the seat surface 9a. The elasticity results in a certain resilient movement which has been indicated by a in FIG. 2a. In FIG. 2a, the outer layer of the ball has been indicated by 8', 8" and the outer layers of the seat by 9a, 9b. The length of the movement a lies in the range of 10-7 mm. The surface 9a has a degree of fineness which lies in the range of 5-20�10-9 mm. The degree of fineness can also be measured in relation to the abovementioned ball, the surface fineness of which should be set in relation to the seat surface 9a. Thus, the last-mentioned surface has a fineness that is 50-100%, prefrerably 75-100%, of the degree of surface fineness of the ball.
According to FIG. 3 the seat bottom 18 can be set at different angles with respect to the inner wall 7a of the pressure reduction channel. In the case of relatively hard material (free-cutting steel) in the seat, the angle can be chosen as a right-angle (90�), while in the case of relatively soft material (brass) the angle V1 can be chosen between 80�-90�.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show how the surface fineness of the ball 8"' is transferred in a simple manner, in accordance with the above, to the seat 9". An actuating force or knocking force F is applied to the ball 8"' via a member 20. The force F is controlled and generates the persistent deformation 17a, see FIG. 2, and the fine surface 9a. In the case of a channel diameter d of 2.3 mm and a ball diameter D, of which the channel diameter d is 50-85%, preferably approximately 75%, an impact energy is used, for generating the force F, of 0.3-1.0, preferably approximately 0.6 Newton/sec2. The force is also chosen as a function of the seat material (softness/hardness of the latter). Upon use in the pressure reduction function, the ball or shut-off element is subjected, in the closure function, and in certain cases, to approximately 125 Newton if the pressure in the enclosed medium amounts to 300 bar. The elasticity should, in this case, be utilized in the sealing function of the ball or shut-off element.
If a plastic ball is used, for example the ball 8"", the knocking of the seat should be carried out with another ball, for example the ball 8"', and, after the seat surface 9a has been formed in this way, the ball 8"' is removed and the ball 8"" is applied, which ball 8"" is shown, in the figure, on its way to its seat position in the direction of the arrow 21. If the plastic ball is used, the elasticity of the latter can be utilized alternatively or as a complement to the elasticity in the seat. In FIG. 5a the spring length of the ball material is indicated by a'.
In the case of softer material for the seat, for example stainless material for the seat, and in the case of tough material, such as stainless steel, the seat material is given a bevelled surface 22 according to FIGS. 6, 6a before the knocking procedure. In this way, burrs and flash edges can be removed before the seat surface is established, after which the part 22a of the bevelled surface can remain.
FIG. 7 shows the ball 8 and the pin head 12a in an enlarged view. A spherical cup-shaped hollow 23 is arranged in the plane surfce 12c of the pin head. The chord or the diameter of the hollow 23 is 10-25% of the diameter D of the chord (see FIG. 5). The hollow is of great importance as regards giving the ball clean opening and closing movements and as regards the repeated use.
FIGS. 9a-9d show different arrangements of the pressure reduction member in the pressure reduction channel. According to FIG. 9a, the pressure reduction channel is arranged with three different recesses 24, 25 and 26. The transition between the spaces 24 and 25 forms seat 27. The ball 28, the force transmission member 29 and the spring 30 are arranged in the second space 25. At the transition between the space 25 and 26 there is a retaining or support ring 31 for the spring. The ring has a bearing recess 32 for a part of the pin 29 extending inside the spring. The last-mentioned part of the pin can be of prismatic cross-section in accordance with the above in order to permit the passage of media in each direction when the ball 28 is lifted by an activation member 33 arranged in the space 24. The space 24 has the smallest cross-sectional area; the space 25 has the second largest cross-sectional area; and the space 26 has the largest cross-sectional area.
FIG. 9b shows a pressure reduction arrangement corresponding to FIG. 9a. In this case the pressure reduction member is arranged in a part, for example, a male part 34, with end surface 35. The activation member is not shown in this case, but can enter the recess 24'.
FIG. 9c shows an embodiment with the seat part in the form of a bushing-shaped/ring-shaped member that be made with the desired softness/hardness. The force-transmitting member is controlled in a corresponding member.
In the embodiment according to FIG. 9d, a sleeve-shaped member 37 is used for bearing the ball 38, the force transmission member 39, the spring 40 and the support member 41 for the spring, as well as a bearing hole for the force transmission member. The sleeve-shaped member is arranged with an end surface 42 and a recess 43 arranged in this, as well as a seat 44 for the ball.
FIG. 10 shows how a hardened/carbonized layer 45 can be removed using drills 46 and 47 of different diameters. By removing the layer 45, a softer seat material part is obtained in which the deformation can be carried out, in accordance with the above, for producing the seat surface.
FIGS. 11a and 11b show a holder 48 for a ball 49. The holder is designed with a number of arms, for example four arms 50, 51, 52 and 53. The arms extend in the longitudinal direction of the holder and over half the length or radius R of the ball. The arms retain the ball via end parts, for example 50a, by members of the inherent resilience of the material of the arms. The ball cooperates with the seat via its free sphere-shaped part 49a. The holder also has a peg 48a designed to extend inside the relevant spring/spring member, for example the spring 40 in FIG. 9d.
In accordance with FIG. 12, the sphere-shaped part 54a can be constructed together with the force transmission part/pin 54 that bears a peg 55 extending inside the spring 56. The unit 53, 54 can, in accordance with the above, be made of steel, brass, plastic, and other materials.
The material in the force transmission member or the pin 12 according to the above can be made of free-cutting steel, brass, stainless steel, and other materials, according to the above.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown hereinabove by way of example, but can instead be modified within the scope of the subsequent patent claims and the inventive concept. In the embodiment shown above, special consideration has been given to the path of the medium (in particular the main medium) through the coupling. The pressure reduction function does not interfere with the through-flow of the medium. In this way, pressure peaks in the medium are not eliminated in an inappropriate manner, but instead these can be measured, for example by connection to and measuring by computer equipment, which can be carried out in a known per se. FIG. 13 shows first and second coupling parts 57 and 58 positioned in a coupling part 60, for example, a female coupling part. However, the principle is valid on male coupling parts as well. The coupling part 57 is a valve member that is movable or fixed in longitudinal direction. The second coupling part is an inner case member movable relatively to the first coupling part 57. The coupling part 60 includes a outer slidable casing 61 displaceable relative to casing 58 against the force of the spring member 62. The coupling part 60 also includes a slidable outer member 63 and locking ball 64, well known in the art. The second coupling part 58 is provided with a seat 65. The first coupling part 57 supports a seal in soft metal or alloys of metals, for example in aluminium or in alloys including aluminium, bronz, among others. The seal 66 is positioned on the part 57 in a recess including the substantially transverse surface 67 and the substantially axial surface 68. FIG. 13 discloses when the coupling part 60 is in co-operation with another coupling part, not shown in FIG. 13, for the sake of simplicity. Media is allowed to be transmitted in either of the directions 69, 70 through the coupling 60. In a disconnected position the first and second parts are pressed against each other, see FIG. 14. The media force F can be high (1000 bar or more). The part 58 is pressed against part 57 via the seat 65. The seal 66, positioned between parts 57 and 58 will be actuated by high pressure. In this actuation the soft metal or metal alloy seal will adapt to irregularities in parts 57 and 58 and a leakfree seal function is obtained between surfaces 67 and 68 of the first part 57 and the seal and between the seal and seat 65 of the second part 58. In the shown section of FIGS. 13 and 14, the seal has substantially the form of a triangle. The outer surface 71 of the seal substantially follows the outer surface 72 of the part 57. The coupling is a flat nos coupling with the substantially even outer surface 73 in which the outer surface 58a of the member 58 constitutes a part. FIG. 15 shows the axial surface 68 that is provided with an irregularity. The irregularity could include, for example one or more barbs, one or more channels, one or more grooves, and/or one or more other irregularities. The irregularities interact with the material of the seal 66 in order to keep it in its position in spite of forces arising in the media, the seat, and other parts.

Leisure, tourism, swimmers
Most of the rivers in Canton Ticino are attractive to tourists not only for their natural beauty but are also the perfect place to relax and participate in a number of outdoor activities such as swimming, canyoning, canoeing, and scuba diving.
However, these rivers can be potentially dangerous even for experts. Unpredicted rise of water levels due to rain, freezing temperatures, slippery rocks, strong currents, whirlpools, and waterfalls…. are all dangers that should be taken seriously especially when children are involved.
In the last decades our Canton was placed the first in the list of drowning cases in Switzerland. In fact, in the last 30 years the number of water accidents in Canton Ticino reached 509 of which 338 were deadly (11 deaths per year). In Ticino rivers the number of accidents during the last 30 years was 261 of which 164 death cases (6 deaths per year) and always because of the poor knowledge of the places.
The State Council has founded in September 2001 the Cantonal Commission "Safe Ticino Rivers" with the purpose of elaborating a common strategy of prevention, information and surveillance to protect the interest of the local population and the tourist visiting our rivers.
Flyer 2016
Important Information
Before undertaking any activity in the rivers, these two factors have to be taken into consideration:
1. Weather forecast
2. Water level in the rivers
The level of water can change even in nice weather days if there is a hydroelectric station nearby.
