Abstract: An arm assembly for a chair having a post, a first member, and an armrest. The first member is angularly adjustable relative to the post about a first axis between first angular movement limits, with a non-finite number of angular adjustment positions of the first member relative to the post. The armrest is operatively connected to the first member to translationally slide generally forward and rearward relative to the first member between first translational movement limits, with a non-finite number of translational adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member. The armrest is angularly adjustable relative to the first member about a second substantially upright axis between second angular movement limits, with a non-finite number of angular adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member.

Abstract: A chair with a transom, a seat support, a back portion, and a combined rock and recline mechanism. The combined rock and recline mechanism has front and rear rocking arrangements configured to enable the seat support and back portion to together rock generally forward and rearward from a neutral position relative to the transom, and a recline arrangement that is configured such that the seat support is in a first at-rest position relative to the back portion when the back portion is in an upright position, and such that reclining the back portion rearwardly from the upright position toward a reclined position moves the seat support upward and rearward from the first at-rest position.

Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing the color quality of a press pull as compared to a contract proof. The contract proof is scanned to create image data including color data representing a scanned proof image. The press pull is also scanned to create image data including color data representing a scanned press pull image. The scanned images are simultaneously displayed on a video monitor, and, the displayed images are searched for any significant differences in color. A system is provided for analyzing the color quality of a press pull as compared to a contract proof comprising at least one scanner for scanning the contract proof and for scanning the press pull, an image comparator connected to the at least one scanner to receive the data for the scanned proof image and the scanned press pull image and a video monitor connected to the image comparator to receive the data for the scanned proof image and the scanned press pull image and to display the scanned images simultaneously.

The press pull is also scanned to create image data including colour data representing a scanned press pull image. The scanned images are simultaneously displayed on a video monitor, and, the displayed images are searched for any significant differences in colour. A method is also provided for printing colour products on a colour printing press in a print run associated with a contract proof. The contract proof is scanned to create image data including colour data representing a scanned proof image. A sample printed colour product from the press is also scanned to create image data including colour data representing a scanned press pull image. The scanned images are simultaneously displayed on a video monitor. The scanned images are aligned and linked.

Abstract: A cart is described that has a wheeled base and an upright frame extending upwardly from the base. A side frame extends upwardly from the base and abuts the upright frame. The upper face of the base, the front face of the upright frame and the inside face of the side frame together form an open cargo bay. A horizontal work surface projects outward from the rear face of the upright frame. A storage compartment is attached to the rear face of the upright frame below the work surface.

Abstract: A photonic device/a method of forming a photonic device comprising a length of optical fiber loaded in tension over a portion of its length, an in-fiber Bragg grating formed within the tensile loaded portion of the length of fiber, two longitudinally spaced apart supports for the fiber, longitudinally aligned channels in the supports, for receiving the fiber, a carrier in which the supports are located, and glass solder contained within the channel anchors the embedded fiber to the support, the supports being formed from a material that has a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than that of the glass solder.

Abstract: A photonic device/a method of forming a photonic device comprising a length of optical fibre [11] loaded in tension over a portion of its length, an in-fibre Bragg grating [14] formed within the tensile loaded portion of the length of fibre, two longitudinally spaced apart supports for the fibre [10], longitudinally aligned channels [19] in the supports, for receiving the fibre, a carrier [12] in which the supports are located, and glass solder [21] contained within the channel anchors the embedded fibre to the support, the supports being formed from a material that has a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than that of the glass solder.

Abstract: A method of accurately setting the center wavelength of a fiber grating fixed in a temperature compensation package, the method comprising the steps of: fixing the grating to the package and altering the size of the package in a post processing step. The altering step can comprise elongating or compressing the package so as to substantially permanently alter the size of the package.
