Abstract: An implantable medical device has a therapy module configured to generate a composite pacing pulse including a series of at least two individual pulses. The therapy module is configured to generate the composite pacing pulse by generating a first pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a first portion of a plurality of capacitors to an output signal line and generate a second pulse of the at least two individual pulses by selectively coupling a second portion of the plurality of capacitors to the output signal line.

Abstract: An axial flux motor incorporates a rotor having a plurality of pockets receiving magnet assemblies. A retention device is engaged from an inactive surface of at least one magnet assembly to one or more structural elements surrounding an associate one of the plurality of pockets in the rotor.

Abstract: Low profile resilient suspension utilizes a pair of horizontally positioned, adjustably tensioned springs to support the weight of a seat occupant. The springs are mounted to one of the movable or fixed seat frame members so as to be completely independent of the linkages, such as scissors links, which guide the movable seat frame member for generally vertical parallel movement relative to the base frame member and floor. The tension of the springs can be adjusted by weight adjustment control members fixed to one of their ends to accommodate occupants of differing weights. The adjustment can be made when the seat is either occupied or unoccupied. The weight adjustment control members remain fixed relative to the seat frame as the suspension oscillates vertically. The opposite ends of the springs are mounted to the ends of the short arms on a pair of connected bellcrank levers which are pivoted to one of the seat frame members.

Abstract: A system for automatic cold-junction referencing of thermocouples in temperature controllers wherein a differential amplifier is used to amplify the thermocouple signal prior to establishing the cold-junction compensation and measuring range. This permits the use of command signals from any floating or single-ended source, making the controller compatible with existing traditional command generators and with computer systems with digital-to-analog converters. The amplifier isolates the thermocouple from the remainder of the circuitry such that it can be grounded on the heated part.
