Abstract: A seat backing formed by a closed hollow plastic jacket defining a chamber fillable with a fluid and a valve, provided in the jacket, serving for feeding the fluid to the chamber. The invention includes a bearing region for holding a seat; a sitting region for receiving a sitting person; and a transition region formed between the bearing and sitting regions. The sitting region includes an upper sitting region and a lower sitting region. The transition region includes upper and lower sections formed around the sitting region and the bearing region to be integrally interconnect the bearing region and the sitting region. The area of sitting and bearing regions increases when the seat backing is used.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for remote configuration of a communication terminal and/or connection enabling the device to be connected to a communication network. A call link is set up initially between the device and a service device, whereby the adjustment of a specific feature of the communication terminal and/or the communication connection is requested by a user of the communication terminal. A corresponding function code is interactively transmitted by the service device to the device or network during said call link and the desired adjustment of said feature is carried out using said function code.

Abstract: A method for controlling a communications terminal in which control instructions can be called from an instruction memory wherein, the control instructions have, at least to a certain extent, individually callable control instruction components such that a freely selectable sequence of control instruction components can be stored under names, and held ready for a call.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a foot massage apparatus having a flat hollow base body 1 of resilient material which is filled with a fluid and has a profiled top side. In accordance with the invention, the base body 1 is divided substantially perpendicular to its flat length into two adjacent chambers 2, 3 which enclose separate fluid containers 4, 5 and are connected integrally by a common stiff bottom 6.

Abstract: A plastic ball is disclosed, in particular a PVC air ball having a ball skin consisting of a skin base substance, in which a predetermined amount of stiffening material the hardness of which is greater than that of the skin base substance is added to the skin base substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sitting device with a seating surface and a seat support supporting said sitting surface, the seat support being connected on the floor side with an elastically deformable support member for the tiltable mounting of the sitting surface.

Abstract: A hollow body for use as a seat pad is provided. The hollow body includes a generally planar resting region, a generally planar sitting region substantially parallel to the resting region and a transition region extending therebetween. The transition region is of generally donut or toroid shape. The resting region, sitting region and toroid region may be formed from a plastic skin. Hollow interior portions may be filled with a fluid.

Abstract: A two filament light bulb in a traffic signal generator has a main filament and an auxiliary filament. The light bulb is a two filament halogen light bulb and the traffic light controller includes apparatus for periodically and alternately exchanging the role of main and auxiliary for the two filaments.
