Abstract: A ball grid array device includes a monitoring circuit of inactive solder joints and a processor such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other processor capable of determining the open or closed status of the monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit traverses one or more of the solder joints between components being joined, such as a printed circuit board and an integrated circuit device. In certain embodiments, the inactive solder joints may be located within regions of the ball grid array that are predisposed to failure, such as at the periphery or corners of the printed circuit board, or proximate to regions that experience a broad range of operating temperatures. The failure of a solder joint within the monitoring circuit can be used to schedule maintenance of the ball grid array device prior to failure of an active solder joint.

Abstract: A control circuit for a retail sales facility presents via an active display a plurality of leaderboards that correspond to a variety of different associate-level performance statistics. These statistics can include, but are not limited to, the number of products that a given associate picks as part of moving products from a stock area to the retail sales product display area (over, for example, a given amount of time) and/or an aggregated monetary value of products that are so picked, a number of products that are so picked exclusively from a particular area of the product stock area, a number of manually-created requirements to so move products, and/or a number of products that are placed for storage in the product stock area itself. Such statistics can represent any time period of choice including, for example, a particular work shift such as a current work shift.

Abstract: A swivel mechanism for a vehicle seat that includes a plurality of pairs of plates that are rotatively coupled providing a first stage of movement where the seat and at least one plate rotates while displacing out of the way of an obstacle and a second stage where the seat and at least one plate rotates without displacing. In an embodiment, a base plate that remains fixed in a home position while a coupling plate and seat-supporting plate rotate about a first pivot offset from the center of the base plate during the first stage and the seat-supporting plate rotates about a second pivot disposed in a center of the coupling plate during the second stage. The coupling plate is slidably coupled to the base plate and to the seat-supporting plate with at least one guide pin and slot arrangement limiting relative movement during the first and second stages.

Abstract: A vehicle seat suspension having a scissors arm linkage disposed between a platform and base with a link pivotally connected at one end to a scissor arm of the linkage at a point spaced from a pivot interconnecting scissor arms of the linkage and operably connected at its other end to a slide carried by the platform for communicating scissor linkage motion to a spring carrier also connected to the link. The carrier includes at least one coil spring held captive preferably in compression between two spaced apart brackets, one of which is pivotally connected to the end of the link adjacent the slide. The point of pivotal attachment of the link to the scissor arm is spaced from the linkage pivot to create a moment about the pivot tending to resist collapse of the linkage when force from the spring is communicated to the linkage.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a base that is carried by a floor on a seat adjuster that comprises two pairs of seat slide rails that permit the seat to be moved relative to the floor with at least one of the rails being of non-metallic, preferably plastic, construction. The non-metallic rails have an upper rail portion spaced from a lower rail portion defining a channel therebetween for receiving a flange of the other seat slide, preferably without requiring ball, roller or needle bearings. Preferably, the base and plastic rails are of one piece unitary construction for producing a low profile adjuster. Each of the other rails is preferably constructed of a metal, has a bottom wall anchored to the floor, and a pair of sidewalls with one of the sidewalls carrying the flange and the other of the sidewalls being notched. A latch is pivotally connected to the base enabling a grip of the latch to be lifted to free a latch tooth from a slide rail notch enabling the seat to be moved.

Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle seat having a scissors arm linkage with a load carrying flexible member secured to a spring and in operable contact with a cam-shaped pulley carried by the linkage for producing a suspension of compact structure, which enables seat height to be adjusted independently of weight adjustment, and which produces a suspension having desirable load-deflection characteristics. The suspension has a platform for carrying the seat which overlies the linkage and a base underlying the linkage that supports the suspension and permits mounting to the floor of a vehicle. Weight adjustment of the suspension is accomplished by selectively tensioning the springs without changing the distance between the platform and base. Height adjustment of the seat is accomplished by moving the spring and flexible member in unison to controllably collapse or expand the linkage thereby selectively changing the distance between the platform and base.

Abstract: A seat suspension for resiliently mounting an operator's seat on a vehicle for floating movement in fore-to-aft and vertical directions. The seat suspension includes a base part that has lower front and rear pivot axes and a lower spring end seat; and a support part on which the operator's seat can be mounted with the support part having upper front and rear pivot axes and an upper spring end seat. One of the spring seats has a fulcrum and a lateral movement retainer while the other spring seat has an anchor. Front and rear links pivotally interconnect the upper and lower front pivot axes and the upper and lower rear pivot axes, respectively. Compression springs each having an axis and spaced apart upper and lower end portions that are generally transverse to the spring axis are mounted between the base part and the support part. One transverse end portion of each compression spring is mounted in the anchor and secured thereby against movement.

Abstract: A novel double diffused complementary MOS (DCMOS) logic family is disclosed which allows greater tolerance to total dose gamma radiation. The logic family may be fabricated in conventional power BiCMOS IC technology in which complementary power DMOS output devices and Bi-polar transistors are integrated with high performance complementary MOS devices to perform both digital and analog functions. The incorporation is achieved without the additional masks or process modifications normally required for improving radiation tolerance.

Abstract: A current regulator providing a highly accurate bidirectional output current, proportional to a control voltage (V.sub.i) and suited to monolithic integration is disclosed. The regulator uses a clocked integrator which integrates an error charge, arrived at by taking a precisely ratioed sample charge proportional to a voltage drop (V.sub.F), free of its common mode voltage, which is in turn proportional to the load current, and one proportional to the control voltage (V.sub.i), and combining them subtractively to form the error charge. The arrangement uses two small charge ratioing capacitors charged respectively to V.sub.F and V.sub.i, and a slightly larger integrating capacitor. The clocking is at a 10 KHZ rate. High impedance circuitry is utilized so that highly accurate, integrated capacitors of modest size and high relative accuracy may be used. These establish a regulator transfer function of high accuracy.
