Abstract: The invention concerns a wheeled vehicle (10) which is able to regulate its lateral tilt. In a preferred aspect the vehicle (10) comprises a seat (28) for supporting a rider, and a chassis (18) which carries the seat. A steerable wheel (12) is carried by the chassis and is operably coupled to a steering arrangement (30, 34) for turning the steerable wheel (12) to effect steering of the vehicle (10). A left wheel-bearing arm (66) carries a left wheel (14) and is pivotally coupled to the chassis (18), so that pivotal movement of the left wheel-bearing arm (66) provides up and down movement of the left wheel (12) relative to the chassis (18). A right wheel-bearing arm (68) carries a right wheel (16) and is pivotally coupled to the chassis (18) to be movable independently of the left wheel-bearing arm (66), so that pivotal movement of the right wheel-bearing arm (68) provides up and down movement of the right wheel (16) relative to the chassis (18).

Abstract: A window unit installation safety device is disclosed for supporting a window unit in place in a rough opening during window unit installation. The window unit installation device is securable onto the window unit and is configured to safely and retentively support the window unit in a framed rough opening, such as a framed sidewall of a residential or commercial building. The window unit installation device includes a plurality of spaced legs configured to be received over a window nail fin.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method which can be used for pre-decoding one-byte instruction prefixes and branch instruction indicators. A static line detect generates a number of instruction indicators. Further, a prefix and branch decode unit combines at least two of the number of instruction indicators, and a pre-decode unit decodes the combined instruction indicators. Embodiments of the invention decode one byte prefixes without additional cycle penalty and generate one and two byte branch indications early.

Abstract: The addition of copper, either as a thin film or as an alloy constituent, to nickel-chromium alloys improves the adhesion of such alloys to polymeric substrates and coatings.

Abstract: An improved metal coating for a video disc of a grooved polymer disc, a conductive metal coating thereon and a dielectric coating on said metal coating, wherein said metal coating comprises a film of a pseudoalloy composition of an alloy of nickel and chromium and, optionally, iron, containing from about 10 to about 25 atomic percent of oxygen admixed with from about 10 to 15 atomic percent of copper.
