Abstract: A knee bolster assembly for a vehicle seat includes a knee bolster moveably mounted in proximity to the vehicle seat, the knee bolster selectively moveable between a first position, wherein a passenger is able to enter and exit the vehicle seat, and a second position, wherein the knee bolster is positioned directly in front of a seating surface of the vehicle seat, such that legs of a passenger seated within the vehicle seat are positioned between the seating surface of the vehicle seat and the knee bolster, the knee bolster adapted to prevent an occupant of the vehicle seat from sliding forward off the vehicle seat and restrict any hyper-extending of their lower legs due to forward inertia, and an energy absorbing device adapted to absorb energy when knees or legs of a passenger within the vehicle seat impact the knee bolster.

Abstract: A drapery, a supporting apparatus for said drapery, and a method of making a pleated drapery is provided. The drapery is provided with a structure for pleating the drapery in a pattern as it is moved out of a window covering position. The pleater structure includes a backing member attached to a plurality of spaced apart stiffening members. The pleater structure is attached to at least the top portion of the drapery. Fasteners are provided on each stiffening member for attaching the drapery to sliding carriers in a track on a support channel. Each end of the drapery is secured to appropriate sliding carriers and have friction members engaging with the track to arrest free movement of the drapery relative to the track. The vertically hinged stiffening members provide pleats in the drapery when the ends of the drapery are moved closer together.

Abstract: A voltage probe is provided for measuring high frequency transients during lectromagnetic pulse simulator testing of electronic devices. A probe tip module including input terminals for receiving transient voltages, a differential amplifier producing a representative output voltage in response to the transients received and a lamp driver amplifier selectively driving one or another of a pair of light emitting diodes in logarithmic response to the output of the differential amplifier is coupled with the testing geometry. The light output of the diodes is coupled through two respective fiber optics devices to respective photodetector inputs of two signal channels which convert the photodetector outputs to suitable driving signals for a dual trace oscilloscope.
