Abstract: A component for a target material transfer system for a laser-produced plasma radiation source and a method of manufacturing such a component are disclosed. The component, which may, for example, be a target material transfer line, a freeze valve, or a flow restrictor, or some combination of this functionality, is made up of a glass capillary body sealed with glass-to-metal seals at both of its ends to a respective metal fitting. The method of manufacturing involves heating the ends of the glass capillary and then forming them to conform with, and forming a glass-to-metal seal with, the interior contours of the respective channels in each of the metal fittings.

Abstract: A docking station for a medical device is described. In some examples, the docking station includes a frame and a base plate coupled to the frame. At least a portion of the base plate is coupled to a lower portion of the frame. In some examples, an electronic connector of the docking station is configured to couple to the medical device and to provide power to the medical device when the medical device is docked to the docking station. In some examples, a docking mechanism is coupled to an upper portion of the frame and configured to retain the medical device.

Abstract: An input device such as a cell phone or computer game controller being held in a portrait versus a landscape orientation is used to select different computer game modes, such as zooming, switching between first and third person perspectives, etc.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for an improved sinuous spring for use on the seat box of a piece of furniture. The sinuous spring includes three pieces wherein a middle piece or section is placed in between a front and rear section. After the middle section is placed between the other two sections, the middle section would be folded so as to be disposed under one section and over the top of the other section and then clipped securely so that a single piece of spring having the correct length and tension is formed in the process.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a seatback and a seat portion supported by a frame assembly. The seat portion includes a carrier assembly and a displaceable platform pivotally coupled thereto for pivoting movement between a use position and a deployed position. A retraction mechanism includes a first bracket operably coupled to the frame assembly, and a second bracket operably coupled to the displaceable platform. The first and second brackets are operably coupled to one another by an actuator, and the second bracket is operable between first and second positions relative to the first bracket. A belt assembly includes a tether member and a belt member. The tether member is coupled between the first and second brackets, and the belt member is operable between a deployed position outside of the seatback, and a stowed position within an interior of the seatback.

Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a driver seat. The vehicle body defines a driver compartment having a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. The driver seat is disposed within the driver compartment. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in a 95th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.
