Abstract: A reclining seat back assembly for a wheelchair (10) 
includes a frame member (36) having a pair of side posts (42) 
pivotally connected to the wheelchair chassis (12). Each side 
post (42) has a rearwardly extending handle (52) at its upper end. A 
pair of extendable struts (62) each include a hollow outer strut (64) 
member pivotally connected to the chassis (12) and an inner 
strut (66) member pivotally connected to one of the side posts (42) 
and received in the outer strut member (64). The struts (62) 
contract as the seat back (34) is pivoted toward a reclined 
position and extend as the seat back (34) is pivoted toward an 
upright position. Mounted on each outer strut (64) member is a 
locking mechanism that includes an engaging member (84) having a 
first engaging surface (82) with a profile complementary to a 
second engaging surface (86) on the lower end of the inner strut 
member (66). A spring (90) biases each engaging member (84) into 
engagement with its respective inner strut member (66). The 
engaging members (84) are released from the inner strut members (66) 
by actuating levers (104) mounted on the side posts (42) immediately 
beneath the handles (52). The actuating levers (104) are connected to 
the engaging members (84) by Bowden cable assemblies (108). In

Patent EP-0549995-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01L21/316
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: Several process flows are proposed for achieving suitable wafer backside 
conditions for a microfactory starting material. The backside conditions proposed 
here will be adapted for microfactory CMOS process flows based on multiple 
integrated rapid thermal processing (RTP) cycles. These backside conditions ensure 
repeatable RTP uniformity and easy pyrometry calibrations. The use of a highly 
doped layer near the wafer backside ensures zero infrared transmission and 
repeatable RTP-based process uniformity, particularly for the lower temperature 
RTP-based processes such as low pressure chemical vapor deposition silicon. Two 
backside layers are used (oxide and nitride) to prevent p+ outdiffusion and backside 
field oxide or gate growth. The backside condition disclosed prevent emissivity 
variations/drift during RTP.

IPC: H04M3/30
Filed: 1996-02-22
Abstract: The possibility of corrupting digital data traffic carried by a data line (11, 12)
(powered or unpowered), by the connection of a telephone test set to the data line
(11,12) is effectively prevented by augmenting the telephone test set with a
mechanism that prevents the test set from asserting an OFF-HOOK condition on
the line, unless it has been determined that each of two conditions are satisfied.
These conditions are: 1- that no digital data traffic is being carried by the line (11,
12); and 2- that the electrical voltage condition of the line (11,12) satisfies a
prescribed minimum voltage level criterion. If either of these conditions is not
satisfied, a switch circuit installed in the test set's connection path to the line is
maintained in a default, open condition, so that it is effectively impossible for the
line to be presented with an OFF-HOOK condition through operation of the test set. 
     This default condition remains in effect until both criterion are fulfilled. As a further
safety precaution, should the line to which the test set is connected be determined
to be carrying digital data traffic, the invention causes an audible alert tone to be
generated as a warning signal to the craftsperson.

Abstract: A periodic low current from an intermittent Low current
generator (5) is used, and fluctuations of r1 and
r10, c1 and c2, and I6 and I20, thus cancel one another.
Thus, ω 0  is not fluctuated unless the oscillation frequency
Tosc of a pulse wave generator OSC is fluctuated.
Television and ratio audio ICs using an LPF filter do not
require specific provision of any oscillator for a filter
circuit, because they have an accurate oscillator. The
oscillation frequency of the pulse wave generator OSC
should be at least 20 times the pass band of the filter
circuit.
