Abstract: A seating unit (50) includes a perimeter frame (90), a flexible seating surface supported by the frame, and parallel elongated resilient force-distributing members (103) coupled to the seating surface to control a contour of the seating surface when supporting a user. The resilient force-distributing members (103) are bendable along their length and are sufficient in number and distribution to substantially reduce localized deflection of the seating surface and thereby reduce pressure point contact felt by the user.  The resilient force-distributing members (103) can be wire rods, long strips, or other resilient material with memory. The resilient force-distributing members (103) can be supported on opposing sides of the perimeter frame in various ways to reduce inward pressure on the opposing sides during flexure of the resilient force-distributing members (103).

Title: Melange herbicide pour remplissage de joints compose de sable et d'une substance liberant de maniere durable du sodium dans des solutions aqueuses en contact
Inventor: SONDERBERG FREDERIKSEN JENS
IPC: E01C5/00
Filed: 2004-09-17
Granted: 2013-04-09
Abstract: Il est connu que des sables de remplissage de joints pour du béton et autre type de pavé servent de substrats à la croissance de mauvaises herbes. La présente invention assure la nette réduction du travail de désherbage nécessaire en transformant le sable de remplissage de joints en un substrat hostile à la croissance de plantes et de champignons par l'utilisation d'un additif minéral écologique à libération lente. L'additif présentant une granulométrie identique et des propriétés mécaniques et rhéologiques identiques forme partie intégrante du sable de remplissage de joints. La gravité spécifique de l'additif est inférieure au sable de quartz procurant à l'additif une tendance à la migration vers la partie supérieure du joint. L'additif entraîne un enrichissement en sodium des eaux de pores et à pH élevé, les deux qualités étant maintenues sur de longues périodes. Le mélange d'additif et de sable peut être manipulé et appliqué au moyen de techniques de pose et d'équipement classiques, en respectant les précautions d'usage utilisées pour les mélanges de mortier et de ciment avec du sable. Dans l'environnement, une réaction avec le CO2 dans l'air ou dans la porosité du sol va assurer l'inactivation de la causticité, produisant des sels de carbonate inoffensifs.

Abstract: A nutating pump is disclosed which has a modified piston and housing or casing that provides two distinct pump chambers or areas. Output from the first pump chamber is delivered during a first half of the dispense cycle or the piston movement cycle. A substantial portion of this output is held for delivery by the second chamber during a second part or half of the dispense cycle Thus, the output generated by the pump is not altered or reduced, it is delivered over the entire piston movement cycle as opposed to prior art pumps which deliver all of the fluid during a first half or first portion of the piston movement cycle. In this way, superior pulse modification is achieved as fluid is delivered across the entire piston movement cycle as opposed to a first half or first portion of the piston movement cycle. In additional embodiments disclosed, two distinct chambers are also provided but each chamber generates its own output as the piston includes two machined or flat sections for active pumping. Thus, each chamber generates its own positive output flow but the flow from each chamber is delivered during a different half of the piston movement cycle. Thus, the flow is still distributed throughout the entire piston movement cycle. In the first embodiment with a first and second chamber, the second chamber essentially acts as a holding station for fluid to be delivered during a second half of the piston movement cycle.

Abstract: To provide an inner shim that is unlikely to fall off from a spring retainer even when an anomalous operation of valve occurs. A spring retainer fixed to the upper end portion of a valve shaft has a shim-attachment hole. While the upper end portion of the valve shaft serves as the base face of the shim- attachment hole, the hole has an open end on the upper side. An inner shim is fitted into the shim-attachment hole. The bottom face of the inner shim is in contact with the upper end portion of the valve shaft, and the top face of the inner shim is positioned below the upper edge of the shim-attachment hole. A tappet is disposed above the spring retainer, and is allowed to move freely in the axial direction of the valve shaft. A shim-holding projection sticks out from the under face of the tappet, and extends downward. The projection enters, from above, the inside of the shim-attachment hole, and is in contact with the top face of the inner shim.

Abstract: Systems of methods for performing queued and moderated communication groups in a system featuring network provided half duplex communications communication group sessions are provided. According to one aspect, a first mobile terminal provides the network with an identification of a second mobile terminal so that the network may automatically grant the transmit capability to the second mobile terminal after a transmitting mobile has finished transmitting communication. Therefore, the second mobile terminal receives the transmit capability without even requesting it, or without the network having to wait to receive a request for the transmit capability. According to another aspect, priority information is pre-assigned during creation of the communication group or dynamically assigned by another mobile user during the talk group session. Granting of the transmit capability and the time duration of the transmit capability is dependent upon the priority information. In this manner, priority information is group-specific.
