Abstract: A piece of ergonomic height-adjustable erotic furniture, having the general appearance of a normal divan, but capable of providing comfortable support for a number of different sexual positions for different heights, body types and health conditions of the participants, improving the quality and variety of their sexual interactions. The furniture has a board made with foam and covered in upholstery, designed to support the bodies of the participants, with inward concave edges and a front convex edge, a header raised with respect to this board, and adjustable height that raises and lowers the board parallel to the floor to facilitate a variety of sexual positions.

Abstract: A semiconductor device for coupling a transient voltage at an input node to a reference node, the device having a bipolar transistor adapted to couple its collector to an input node and its emitter to the reference node and a driver device adapted to be coupled between the input node and the base terminal of the transistor such that the driver device is responsive to a transient voltage at the input node to turn on the transistor, thereby shunting the transient voltage to the reference node. Preferably, the input node is coupled to a high speed data transmission line that operates below 5 v and the reference node is coupled to ground and the transistor is an NPN transistor. The driver may preferably be a gate-drain connected MOS transistor with its gate-drain terminal coupled to the collector terminal of the transistor and its source terminal coupled to the base terminal of the transistor.

Abstract: A method is provided for suppressing a transient signal (VTR) using a single semiconductor die (130). The method comprises the step of loading the transient signal with first and second junctions (110, 112) formed adjacent to a first doped region (140) of the semiconductor die. The first junction breaks down to generate a current while the second junction forward biases to route the current across an undepleted portion (161) of the first doped region and through the second junction.
