Abstract: A furniture unit comprising a base unit, leg portions and a flat platform that rests on a support members within the base unit. The platform has a first and a second face, where the first face is structured to be a table surface and the second face has a cushion securely attached to it. The furniture unit may further comprise a back support unit securely attached to the base unit. The furniture unit may also comprise a pair of arm rests that are securely attached to the base unit.

Abstract: A membrane has strips of membrane material attached at their first end to an upper surface of the lower membrane layer. The strips stay flush with the upper surface when the electrically conductive material is patterned thereon such that material is contiguous along the strips and the upper surface. Adjacent the first end of the strips is a hole cut through the lower membrane layer. After the material is patterned and the hole is cut, the second end of the strip is peeled from the upper and rounded through the hole with the strip being folded back over itself. The second end of the strip may then extend externally of the membrane switch for connection to a switchable device.

Abstract: A multiple spindle boring head including a plurality of boring spindles simultaneously radially positionable relative to a central boring head axis by a plurality of associated lead screws which are mounted for rotation but not translation relative to their respective longitudinal axes, whereby the overall radial extent of the boring head remains constant relative to the boring head central axis as the boring heads are adjusted radially. In one embodiment, a pair of multiple spindle boring heads are mounted adjacent one another on a boring machine equipped with an indexable work table to permit simultaneous operations on two work pieces. A quick change tool support means is disclosed to permit very rapid change of tools in each boring spindle without requiring the use of a positioning jig.

Abstract: An improved reinforced flexible printed wiring board is disclosed. The reinforcement in this printed wiring board is composed of a fabric woven from a yarn of plied continuous filaments of polyester and glass. The fabric is impregnated with an appropriate resin which is subsequently cured. This printed wiring board is found to have improved mechanical and thermal characteristics with little degradation in electrical properties.

Abstract: A method of continuously producing clad composites is disclosed. The cladding is combined with a resin-wet reinforcement and pultruded through a forming and curing die in a single processing step.
