Abstract: A chair has height-adjustable arm assemblies
respectively mounted adjacent opposite sides of a seat.
Each arm assembly includes a horizontally elongate armrest
connected to an upper end of an arm upright (22). The arm
upright includes a vertically oriented support segment (12)
which has a guide bore (13) defined therein. The armrest
includes a vertically elongate slide tube (22) and a
horizontally elongate arm element (21) connected to an upper
end of the slide tube (22). A lower end of the slide tube
is movably mounted within the guide bore. A lock
arrangement functions to permit the slide tube to be
positioned relative to the support segment at any one of a
plurality of height positions. The lock arrangement
includes a cartridge assembly that has a gear (24) which is
rotatably supported and carried by the slide tube (22). The
gear has a plurality of gear teeth which engage with a
series of vertically spaced notches (14) defined within the
support segment. A lock releasing mechanism functions to
displace a lock member (26) between a locking position and
a releasing position. The lock releasing mechanism includes
an actuator lever (31) and an actuator rod (25). The
actuator level (31) is supported on the arm element (21),
and the actuator rod (25) extends into the slide tube and
carries the lock member 26 on its lower end. The lock
member (26) has locking teeth which engage the gear when the
lock member is positioned in the locking position.

Abstract: A heater controller for allocating heaters to cool a thermal
chamber of a scientific instrument evaporates cryogenic liquid to produce a
coolant gas. The gas is injected into a chamber to cool a sample disposal
therein. The controller allocates low-capacity heaters in compliance with
IEC guidelines to prevent problems generally associated with switching of
large current loads. such as heaters. In one embodiment, heaters are
activated so as to avoid jump discontinuities by effectively averaging the
power delivered by the heaters. A second embodiment reduces complexity
by essentially disregarding the problem of the jump discontinuity. A third
embodiment groups the heaters according to a binary grouping scheme. The
heater controller of the present invention can be used to control temperature
according to a user supplied temperature profile.

Abstract: A system and method for printing with a portion of an ink-jet print head
26 allows for defect-free printing even with a print head 26 containing defective
ink-jets 28. Where some ink-jets 28 on a print head 26 are defective, the print
head is controlled to print, albeit at a reduced speed, using only properly
functioning ink-jets. For example, if the top half of a print head 26 contains one
or more defective ink-jets 28, the top half of the print head could be disabled.
Then using the defect-free bottom half of the print head, the printer can
continue to print with high print quality. In this example, the printer would
make two swaths with the bottom half of the print head to print what would
normally be printed in a single swath of a fully functional print head. A system
for detecting and locating defective ink-jets is provided.

Abstract: Electronic device comprising a circuit (10) capable of
reading, in response to an activation signal (40), a stored
waveform in order to generate an output signal representative
of this waveform, which signal is transmitted to a voltage
amplifier (14) which generates a variable-voltage output
signal (14u) representative of the stored waveform. The
variable-voltage signal is applied to a transducer (7)
constituting at least one conductive electrode (24) applied
to an individual, preferably to areas on the back of the head
corresponding to cutaneous projections of deep areas of the
brain, in order to apply an electrical or electromagnetic
stimulus to the nervous system of the individual, in response
to which the brain emits infinitesimal quantities of
neurotransmitters which act upon the endocrine organs of the
human body which, in turn, release hormones to stimulate the
immune system and bring about a process of the feedback type.

Abstract: Pulse width modulation of signals, such as provided to a driver
(97) in a laser printer, is phase locked to a beam detect signal (17). In addition,
it must permit continuously variable, arbitrarily small pulses of extremely high
speeds. This invention describes a novel method and system using multiple
streams (31-14) of variable phase clocked outputs. The variable phase clocked
outputs are combined with a clock generator (signal 67) to achieve these goals
at low cost. As a result, the pulse width modulated signals provide continuously
variable selectable pulse widths at extremely high speed.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to enable to adequately
adjust an optical beam axis of a lamp in response to an inclining angle of
a main body of a vehicle in a back and forth direction in an optical beam
axis adjustment apparatus of a head lamp for use in vehicle. 
     Upward and downward movements of front and rear wheels are

angular detecting unit 3a detects the inclining angle of the main body of
the vehicle in the back and forth direction depending upon the output
signals produced from the stroke sensors while a traveling sensing unit
3b senses a traveling status and a stopping status of the vehicle. A
control unit 3 adjusts the optical beam axis of the head lamp 5 through
an actuator 4 during stopping of the vehicle, corresponding to the
detected angular data produced from the stroke sensors 1 and 2; and
averaged during a certain specified period which precedes the
adjustment.

further comprises a distribution passage unit (13, 14; 14) for distributing
grease from the grease reserving space (8A) to the sliding surfaces of the
tubes (1, 2) participating in torque transmission. With this construction, the
grease is surely supplied to the portions (12) participating in torque

Abstract: A sound-absorbing material and a cable reel including
the same are produced inexpensively and are able to
attenuate sliding noise and vibration noise. A sound-absorbing
material 20 is made of a polyethylene film 20a and
is formed into a thin waved sheet having continuous wave
crests and wave troughs. A synthetic paper 20b having a
lubricative surface is attached to the wave crests on a
front side of the polyethylene film 20a through an adhesive.
As an air layer 21 is defined in a space surrounded by the
wave crests and wave troughs, any sounds which are
transmitted to the polyethylene film 20a collide on the wave
crests and wave troughs thereby being effectively attenuated
and absorbed. The sound-absorbing material 20 is struck on
a bearing surface 12a of a stationary member 11 by way of an
adhesive. A lateral lower edge of a flat cable 15 slides on
the lubricative surface of the synthetic paper 20b, thereby
suppressing generation of sliding noise. Vibration noise
during an idling mode collides on the wave crests and wave
troughs thereby being effectively attenuated and adsorbed.
