  • Patent number: 8029007
    Abstract: The present invention is a passenger assembly for a stroller and is adaptable to almost any stroller and is capable of practice in numerous embodiments. The preferred embodiment features a chassis mounted platform with adjustable mounting arms. A mounting mechanism is located at the terminus of each arm and is attachable and removable from the stroller frame with the passenger assembly. A number of potential mounting mechanisms are disclosed. An extension handle is provided to allow users greater control of the stroller from a distance further than normal, as the assembly occupies the position proximate the stroller, where the user ordinarily stands. Modules are capable of addition to the assembly, such as a seat or basket, or a stow strap for securement of the assembly when not in use.

  • Patent number: 6868505
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and arrangements enable efficient reprogramming of a memory block of a microcontroller. Two blocks of memory each have a different logical location with respect to a processor of the microcontroller. The first memory may store vector information to be executed by the processor. The second memory may store data information. The logical location of each memory block is dependent on the value of a pre-determined bit in a specified register. When a user wishes to reprogram the contents of the first memory, the user enters new code into the second memory. Upon completion, the value of the pre-determined bit is changed, and the logical locations of the first and second memories are interchanged. In effect, the newly entered code from the second memory is accessed as if it were in the first memory (e.g., from an addressing perspective), and the processor may execute the new program (e.g., after the processor undergoes a system reset).

  • Patent number: 5866914
    Abstract: A system for shaping a radiation beam exiting from a radiation source. The system includes a mount coupleable to the radiation source. The mount has a beam aperture with a tapered inner surface extending through the mount, through which the radiation beam passes. The system further includes a die having a tapered outer surface capable of engaging the tapered inner surface of the beam aperture. The die has a beam window extending through the die which is substantially transparent at at least a selected radiation power such that the radiation emerging from the beam window has the same size and shape as the beam window.
