Title: Adjusting mechanism
Inventor: BEGGS KEN A
IPC: A47C7/40
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: An adjusting mechanism for adjusting the position of a first structural member relative to a second structural member. The mechanism is particularly well suited for use as a mechanism for adjusting the vertical or lateral position of a chair back or armrest relative to a chair seat and is adapted for one-handed adjustment. The adjustment mechanism has an arm mountable to a first structural member and slider securable to a second structural member that slidably engages the arm. A ratchet rack is on the arm and a pawl is supported by the slider, which is adapted to engage the ratchet rack, permitting only one direction movement of the slider along the arm. One of the pawl and slider has a cam guide, which has a portion substantially transverse to the ratchet rack and a portion extending from the substantially transverse portion in a direction substantially parallel to the rack. The other of the slider and the pawl has a cam follower extending therefrom. The cam follower, slidably engages the cam guide. A biasing member resiliently pushes the pawl into engagement with the ratchet rack, and forces the cam along the substantially transverse portion of the cam guide, away from the substantially parallel portion of the cam guide. One of the arm and the paw has a first camming surface, the other of the arm and pawl has a first abutting surface. When the pawl first surface is pushed into abutment with the arm first surface, the cam follower is forced along the substantially transverse portion of the cam guide into the substantially parallel portion of the cam guide. The pawl is then disengaged from the ratchet rack, thereby allowing bi-direction motion of the slider along the arm.      The arm has a second surface such that when the pawl is pushed into abutment with the second surface of the arm, the cam follower is pushed into the horizontal portion of the cam guide, re-engaging the pawl and ratchet rack.

Abstract: Le schéma de modulation comporte deux versions qui peuvent transformer deux flux de données en deux signaux modulés orthogonalement l'un par rapport à l'autre dans la même bande de porteuses. Une réalisation de l'invention utilise un schéma de modulation QPSK (modulation par déplacement de phase en quadrature) ayant une partie en phase et une partie à quatre états de phase. Dans cette réalisation, une version du schéma de modulation QPSK est conforme à la norme de télécommunications IS-95. Dans cette version, la partie en phase est appliquée à un premier flux de données afin de produire un signal en phase qui est multiplié par une fonction cosinusoïdale de la porteuse. Suivant un trajet parallèle, la partie à quatre états de phase est appliquée au premier flux de données afin de produire un signal à quatre états de phase qui est multiplié par une fonction sinusoïdale de la porteuse. Les signaux résultants sont combinés pour produire un signal IS-95 conventionnel. Dans ladite réalisation, l'autre version du schéma de modulation QPSK est destinée à transformer un deuxième flux de données en un deuxième signal modulé qui est orthogonal par rapport au signal IS-95, même si le deuxième signal modulé est dans la même bande de porteuses et même si le deuxième flux de données est codé selon la même séquence de code de Walsh que le premier flux de données. Dans une application de la deuxième version, la négation logique de la partie à quatre états de phase du schéma de modulation QPSK est appliquée au deuxième flux de données afin de produire un signal à quatre états de phase qui est multiplié par la fonction cosinusoïdale de la porteuse. Suivant un trajet parallèle, la partie à quatre états de phase est appliquée au deuxième flux de données afin de produire un signal à quatre états de phase qui est multiplié par une fonction sinusoïdale de la porteuse. Les signaux résultants sont combinés pour produire un signal modulé qui est orthogonal par rapport au signal IS-95 et qui ne brouillera donc pas ce dernier, même si les deux signaux modulés sont dans la même bande de porteuses et peuvent en fait être basés sur deux flux de données codés selon la même séquence de code de Walsh. Les spécialistes comprendront que le schéma de modulation de la présente invention peut être mis en oeuvre dans des contextes autres que celui de la norme IS-95.

Title: A thermostat system having an optimized temperature recovery ramp rate
Inventor: SHAH DIPAK J
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: An adaptive recovery method for a setback thermostat using the intersection of the space temperature with a sloped recovery temperature line which approximates the change in temperature as a function of time during recovery of the temperature controlled space from a setback temperature, to determine the time at which recovery to the occupancy temperature should begin. The thermostat starts recovery when the current space temperature crosses the recovery temperature line. A useful feature of the apparatus and method which implements the invention, computes and constantly updates the slope of the temperature recovery line. The update of the temperature recovery line slope is based on miss time, i.e., the time between actually achieving the desired next set point temperature and the next set point time associated with the next set point temperature, the space temperature, the outdoor air temperature, the temperature recovery ramp rate during the previous recovery period, and the current and past thermal time constants. If the heating or cooling load on the space changes, the current space temperature will cross the recovery temperature line at a different time, causing recovery to start at a time more compatible with the current heating or cooling load in order to complete recovery at or near the desired time. Variables may be added to the system.

Title: Protective joint guard
Inventor: HEFLING DENNIS V
IPC: A41D13/06
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: A protective joint guard for use in contact sports particularly adapted for providing maximum protection and mobility over jointed body parts. The protective guard comprises a multiplicity of identical graduated interlocking rigid segments connected directly to one another by a pivot fastener and stop pin connection. The protective joint guard can be used as the joint portion of protective wear such as a leg guard by simply connecting a thigh guard and shin guard to opposing ends of the multiplicity of segments, in which case the protective joint guard is used to protect the knee from impact. The thigh guard, shin guard and joint guard are all made of a rigid material each having interior and exterior shells. To provide protection against contact with the interior shell, and to provided added cushion and comfort for the wearer, a first pad is detachably affixed to the interior shell of the thigh guard, said first pad extends the entire length of the joint guard. Although the first pad is affixed to the thigh guard, the first pad is able to move independent from the protective guard so that the linear length of the interlocking segments can easily increase and decrease without interference from the first pad.
