Abstract: A hub is provided for the base of a swivel-type chair in which the hub includes a passage forming an interior wall which receives and retains therein a gas cylinder joining the base with a seat of the chair. The interior wall of the hub is formed with an upper portion, a ring portion, and a lower portion. The upper portion slopes downwardly and inwardly at a first taper angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the gas cylinder and the passage. The ring portion has an upper segment sloping downwardly and inwardly from the upper portion at a second taper angle greater than the first taper angle, a medial segment extending vertically from the upper segment, and a lower segment sloping downwardly and outwardly from the medial segment at a third taper angle less than the second taper angle but greater than the first taper angle. The lower portion slopes downwardly and outwardly from the lower segment of the ring portion at a fourth taper angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the gas cylinder and the passage and slightly greater than the first taper angle. The upper portion cooperates with a first similarly-shaped portion of the gas cylinder to prevent wobbling of the cylinder relative to the base. The upper segment of the ring portion engages a second similarly-shaped portion of the gas cylinder to preclude longitudinal movement of the cylinder relative to the base.

Abstract: A multi-chip data decoder implemented for symmetric differential phase shift keying (SDPSK) or symmetric differential quadriphase shift keying (SDQPSK) modulation formats which uses multiple-chip observation intervals to improve performance over conventional symbol-to-symbol differential detection. Input phases .PHI.k, .PHI.k-1 .PHI.k-2,and.PHI.k-3 are detected by comparing a received vector of data bits and parity bits, which contains phase transition information over multiple chips, to the set of ideal vectors of data bits and parity bits, which contain all phase transition possibilities over that set of chips in a noiseless environment.  The multi-chip data detector for decoding incoming modulated data comprises a phase-difference encoder (10, 100) arranged to encode phase-differences .PHI.k-2 - .PHI.k-3 .PHI.k-1 - .PHI.k-2 .PHI.k-.PHI.k-1-.PHI.k-.PHI.k-2 .PHI.k-1-.PHI.k-3 and .PHI.k-.PHI.k-3 of the incoming modulated data during a multiple-chip observation interval to produce a received vector of a predetermined number of data bits and parity bits; a decoder (20, 200) arranged to decode the received vector to produce multiple bit decisions by mapping the received vector with a set of ideal vectors; and a majority voter (30, 300) arranged to choose a bit estimate from the multiple bit decisions by way of a majority rule to produce a final detected symbol from the incoming modulated data during the multiple-chip observation interval. The multi-chip data detection technique performs multiple-chip comparisons in an efficient manner, providing a significant performance and implementation improvement over conventional symbol-to-symbol differential detection while realizing design gate savings of up to 90%.
