Abstract: The method for generating a random bit sample involves a quantum tunneling barrier. The method generally has: generating a current of charges tunneling across said quantum tunneling barrier, the current of the tunneled charges having an instantaneous level varying randomly due to quantum tunneling fluctuations and forming a raw signal; from said raw signal, obtaining a raw bit sample having a first bit number n, the first bit number n being an integer; extracting the randomness out of the raw bit sample into the random bit sample, the random bit sample having a second bit number m being smaller than the first bit number n, said extracting being based on calibration data comprising at least a quantum contribution value of said quantum tunneling fluctuations in said raw bit sample; and on an external contribution value in said raw bit sample.

Abstract: An arrangement for a vehicle seat for connection with the floor of a vehicle is provided which, in a preferred embodiment, includes two generally parallel rails extending within the vehicle being connected with the vehicle floor, the rails having associated therewith a locking plate having first and second unique openings, a seat bun frame mounted with relative means of travel with respect to the two rails, a seatback pivotally mounted with respect to the seat bun frame, the seatback having upright and folded down positions, a first locking pin operatively associated with the first lock plate openings for selectively setting the position of the seat bun frame with respect to the rails, a second locking pin operatively associated with the second openings for selectively setting the position of the seat bun frame with respect to the rails, a first release handle for releasing the first and second locking pins from engagement with the lock plate, a first lock-out for preventing the actuation of the first release

Abstract: A switching regulator with series gated switch includes a switching bus biased positively with respect to the signal ground of the source and regulated amplitude DC signals, and PWM circuitry with associated bootstrap circuitry connected between the source DC signal input and the switching bus.
