  • Patent number: 6565153
    Abstract: An upper back support in a vehicle seat, with the vehicle seat having a base assembly including a seat support. The seat member is supported on the base assembly and a back frame is pivoted to the base assembly for movement. A back shell is connected to the back frame and an upper back support is coupled to the back shell. The upper back support comprises a panel having a lower portion and an upper portion, with the lower portion flexibly coupled to the back shell of the vehicle seat. A resilient member is coupled to the panel proximate the upper portion and to the back shell of the vehicle seat. An additional resilient member can be coupled to the panel proximate the upper portion and to the back shell of the vehicle seat in a spaced apart relationship to the other resilient member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6255186
    Abstract: In accordance with one implementation the invention, a capacitor comprises two conductive capacitor electrodes separated by a capacitor dielectric layer, with at least one of the capacitor electrodes comprising at least one of Pt and Pd, and also comprising another metal which is capable of forming a conductive metal oxide when exposed to oxidizing conditions. In accordance with another. implementation, integrated circuitry includes a conductive silicon containing electrode projecting from a circuit node. A capacitor is received over the silicon containing electrode and comprises a first capacitor electrode having at least one of Pt and Pd, and also comprising another metal which is capable of forming a conductive metal oxide when exposed to oxidizing conditions. A high K capacitor dielectric layer received over the first capacitor electrode. A second capacitor electrode is received over the high K capacitor dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 5853000
    Abstract: A modular archery bow riser which is machined to accept an adjustable wrist brace, adjustable thumb grip and finger caps. The forward surface of the riser includes a number of finger channels and accepts alternative finger caps having different finger grooving. An aft surface accepts a semi-circular bracket which supports a pivoting upright wrist brace arm. The position of the brace arm is determined with set screws fitted between a slot at the bracket and brace and between telescoping extensions of an alternative brace arm. A horizontal shelf mounts to a side wall of the riser and an adjustable vertical stop mounts to the shelf to support the thumb.
