Abstract: A highchair with a foot part and a seat element mounted thereon has a length-adjustable gas-filled strut therebetween for support and height adjustment of the seat element. The gas-filled strut may be length adjustable with two-handed safety operation. The seat element is held on two lateral support arms, on each of which an actuating element of the two-handed safety operation is arranged. Each actuating element is connected via a wire or rope pull to a pressure element acting on an actuating projection of the gas-filled strut. The seat element is pivotable and fixable about a horizontal transverse axis forwards and backwards in a tilting position. An inclination catch is provided on at least one support arm and has a rotary locking element acting between a spindle of the seat element and a support arm, which is transferable into a locking or release position by means of an actuation cam.

Abstract: A high-performance, high-reliable backplane bus has a simple configuration and operation. An error reporting network (ERN) provides an inexpensive approach to collecting the error state of a whole system in a uniform and consistent way. The uniformity allows for simpler interface software and for standardized hardware handling of classes of errors. In a preferred embodiment, serial error registers are used, minimizing implementation cost and making the software interface to the serial registers much easier. Serial error information is transferred over a separate data path from the main parallel bus, decreasing the chance of the original error corrupting the error information. Each CPU is provided with a local copy of the entire body of error information. The redundancy minimizes the impact of a possible CPU failure and allows the CPUs to coordinate error recovery.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image-rendering device for an image projector. The image-rendering device includes a body having an image receiver adapted to alternatively receive a first interchangeable data transfer device and a second interchangeable data transfer device. Each interchangeable data transfer device is adapted to enable transfer of an image to the image-rendering device. The body may further include a projector connector adapted to operably couple the image-rendering device to the image projector and a processor configured to automatically transmit the image from the image receiver to the image projector for display. In some embodiments, the image-rendering device includes a peripheral device connector configured to enable at least one peripheral device to be operably linked to the image-rendering device. The peripheral device connector may be configured to transmit an image from the at least one peripheral device to the image projector, or vice versa.

Abstract: A control system comprising a control input device having a movable magnet, a pole-piece frame arrangement positioned about the magnet and positioned therein at least two magnetic flux sensors for sensing movement of the magnet in a given direction. The control system further comprises a monitoring arrangement for monitoring the output signal of each of the sensors and permits the input device to control the system only when the output of the sensors are within a predefined range. This multiple sensing provides a fail-safe in the event that one of the sensors generates an erroneous signal.

Abstract: A novel method for separating an irradiated 60Cu or 61Cu or 64Cu respectively from a composition containing 60Ni or 61Ni or 64Ni respectively therein comprises dissolving the irradiated 60Cu or 61Cu or 64Cu in a solvent acid to form an acidic solubilized composition, feeding the acidic solubilized composition onto an ion exchange column and removing an eluent comprising 60Ni or 61Ni or 64Ni ions. In an aspect the eluent is further processed for 60Ni or 61Ni or 64Ni recovery and recycling to prepare future targets. In an aspect 60Cu or 61Cu or 64Cu respectively is temporarily trapped into the ion exchange column resin and held for subsequent recovery by addition of 0.5 N HCl to elute out the 60Cu or 61Cu or 64Cu for further use or labeling. An enhanced process for labeling compounds with highly purified 60Cu, 61Cu or 64Cu comprises loading 60Cu, 61Cu and 64Cu elute onto a concentrating cartridge, collecting the 0.

Abstract: A communication system, clock recovery circuit, and method are provided for allowing data to be transmitted across a communication system and between clock recovery circuits absent a clock master specifically designed for one node of the communication system. Absent a clock master, the communication system is permitted to enter into an all slave mode, with periodic unlock conditions possibly rotating about the communication system ring topology. However, the unlock condition can be readily detected and if the received data bitstream formed into a recovered clock exceeds a threshold above or is less than a threshold below a reference clock generated during instances of unlock, then the clock recovery circuit will fix the synchronizing clock to the reference clock, and cause the bitstream to resynchronize to the reference clock before the reference clock is again disabled to allow the communication system to re-enter the all slave and rotating unlock condition.
