Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a balanced fluid supply through multiple feeds are disclosed. The method comprises supplying the fluid through a plurality of feeds from a common fluid accumulator; determining the fluid pressure in a common fluid accumulator; and controlling the fluid pressure in the common fluid accumulator responsive to the fluid pressure sensed therein to maintain the fluid pressure within a predetermined range. The balanced fluid supply comprises a common fluid accumulator; a plurality of feeds from the common fluid accumulator; and a control system capable of controlling the pressure of the fluid supplied from the common fluid accumulator to the feeds responsive to a determined pressure of fluid in the common fluid accumulator.

Abstract: A backrest and deck subassembly for a sofa includes: a frame having a generally horizontal deck section, the deck section including a top portion and an underlying bottom portion, the frame also having a generally upright backrest section attached to and extending upwardly from the deck section; and an integrated upholstery piece that covers the deck and backrest portions of the frame and underlies the bottom section of the deck portion. The integrated upholstery piece can reduce manufacturing time by eliminating the need to separately attach the upholstery and dust cover. In some embodiments, the upholstery piece includes a zipper that can markedly facilitate enclosing of the frame within the upholstery piece.

Abstract: A memory storage system includes a motherboard, a first memory card, and second memory card. The motherboard has a first and second electrical connector. The first memory card has a plurality of electrical connections coupled to the first electrical connector on the motherboard. The first memory card is adapted to receive a plurality of data signals over the first electrical connector and store the data signals in a first preselected pattern. A second memory card has a plurality of electrical connections coupled to the second electrical connector on the motherboard. The second memory card is adapted to receive a plurality of data signals over the second electrical connector and store the data signals in a second preselected pattern, different from the first preselected pattern.
