Abstract: A combined picture frame and mailer is formed of a single piece of reinforced paper folded along a horizontal axis into two substantially equal halves forming front and back panels. The front panel has a central cutout providing a window behind which the picture is placed and which is covered by a transparent sheet of cellophane. The back panel is provided with flaps about its remaining peripheral edges which fold over the corresponding edges of the front panel, and which are sealed to form a closed thin envelope. The back panel is also provided with fold out legs permitting the frame to stand alone on a flat surface such as a table as well as space in which the user may write a message as on a postcard.

Abstract: A fiber optic gyro can overcome the defects encountered with conventional fiber optic gyros of phase-modulation method, closed-loop system with serrodyne modulation and digital modulation. A reference phase difference .DELTA..beta. and a ramp phase difference .sigma. are generated in an interference light intensity signal I by use of a triangular waveform, i.e., delta serrodyne waveform signal. The reference phase difference .DELTA..beta. is changed to constant values .DELTA..beta..sub.A and .DELTA..beta..sub.B whose absolute values are the same and whose signs are different at every times T.sub.A and T.sub.B. A phase x of the interference light intensity signal I becomes equal to x=.DELTA..theta.+.sigma.+.DELTA..beta.. The ramp phase difference .sigma. is controlled so as to satisfy .DELTA..theta.+.sigma.=0. Accordingly, at the stable point of the control loop, a Sagnac phase difference .DELTA..theta. is equal to the ramp phase difference .sigma..

Abstract: A wheelchair frame includes a pair of side frame assemblies, a connector connecting the two side frame assemblies, a seat, caster wheel mountings, drive wheel mountings, and a leg rest mounting. Each of the side frame assemblies have an upper frame member and a lower frame member. The upper frame member is pivotally connected at its forward end to the forward portion of the lower frame member and supported at its rearward end by a suspension support member (i.e., shock absorber) connected to the rearward end of the lower frame member. The seat is attached between the upper frame members of each side frame assembly. With this configuration, the upper frame members and the seat are free to pivot about the pivotal connection between the upper frame member and the lower frame member. In operation, the upper frame members and seat "float" up and down on the shock absorber to provide cushioning to the user.
