  • Patent number: 5997095
    Abstract: A seat for supporting the pelvis of the user in a correct physiological position substantially corresponding to the pelvic standing position. The seat has a dished gluteal position (16) which extends to the rear of the seat and a seat back (11) with a substantially convex upper portion (13) and a concave lower portion (12) with the distance between the junction (21) of the two and the lowest point (22) of the dished gluteal portion (16) substantially corresponding to the average dimension between the posterior superior spine of the ilia P and the ischial tuberosities (site bones) of an adult person.

  • Patent number: 4916460
    Abstract: The present invention provides a distributed antenna system comprising a primary antenna (14A, 16A) and a plurality of secondary antennas (36, 40), a fibre optic network (20, 22) connected between the primary antenna (14A, 16A) and the secondary antennas (36, 40), first means (16, 44) associated with a first one of the antennas (16A, 40) which transmits signals received by that antenna (16A, 40) into the fibre optic network (20, 22), and second means (32, 50) associated with a second one of the antennas (14A, 36) which causes that antenna (14A, 36) to transmit signals received by the second means (32, 50) from the fibre optic network (20, 22).Preferably, the use of a heterodyne circuit is avoided and the light signals travelling within the fibre optic networks (20, 22) are modulated at radio frequency.

  • Patent number: RE35736
    Abstract: The present invention provides a distributed antenna system comprising a primary antenna (14A, 16A) and a plurality of secondary antennas (36, 40), a .?.fibre.!. .Iadd.fiber .Iaddend.optic network (20, 22) connected between the primary antenna (14A, 16A) and the secondary antennas (36, 40), first means (.?.16.!. .Iadd.24.Iaddend., 44) associated with a first one of the antennas (16A, 40) which transmits signals received by that antenna (16A, 40) into the .?.fibre.!. .Iadd.fiber .Iaddend.optic network (20, 22), and second means (32, 50) associated with a second one of the antennas (14A, 36) which causes that antenna (14A, 36) to transmit signals received by the second means (32, 50) from the .?.fibre.!. .Iadd.fiber .Iaddend.optic network (20, 22). Preferably, the use of a heterodyne circuit is avoided and the light signals travelling within the .?.fibre.!. .Iadd.fiber .Iaddend.optic networks (20, 22) are modulated at radio frequency.
