Abstract: A laser crafting apparatus for directing electromagnetic radiation toward a workpiece may include various features. For example, the laser crafting apparatus may include a material support tray that is removably supported within an internal volume of the laser crafting apparatus. Further, the apparatus may include pre-filter disposed in a ventilation pathway between a workspace region of the internal volume and an extractor fan. The laser crafting apparatus may include a laser carriage assembly that houses a laser module and the assembly may include a lens tray detachably coupled to the support structure of the laser carriage assembly. In various embodiments, the laser crafting apparatus includes a lid having a radiation attenuation layer and a fire suppression layer.

Abstract: The technology described herein efficiently determines whether a real inode is shared among views, or owned. In-memory data structures include a view snapshot generation counter that is increased as a snapshot that generates a view is created, and an inode total weight. An in-memory virtual inode cache dataset for a filesystem object associated with the view is instantiated with the value of snapshot generation counter, sharing-related data based on the inode mapping file entry for the object, and an inode access weight. To determine whether the inode is shared (and needs to be split), such as on a write to the object, the in-memory data is evaluated. The real inode is shared if the generation counters are unequal, if the sharing-related data indicates sharing at an intermediate indirect block level, or indicates sharing at the inode level and the inode access weight is less than the inode total weight.

Abstract: A vehicle seating system for adjusting, without rails, the vertical and longitudinal position and the inclination of a vehicle seat relative to a vehicle floor has, in one embodiment, first and second pivot levers, spaced apart from one another in an adjustment direction. The pivot levers are articulated respectively on the vehicle seat and on the vehicle floor by way of pivot pins extending parallel to one another. The pivot pins arranged on the vehicle seat and on the vehicle floor of at least one of the pivot levers are lockable independently of one another.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for adjusting, without rails, the vertical and longitudinal position and the inclination of a vehicle seat (1) relative to a vehicle floor (4). The apparatus according to the present invention has at least two pivot levers (10, 14), spaced apart from one another in an adjustment direction (B), that are articulated respectively on the vehicle seat (1) and on the vehicle floor (4) by way of pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) extending parallel to one another. The pivot pins (12a, 12b; 12c, 12d), arranged on the vehicle seat (1) and on the vehicle floor (4), of at least one of the pivot levers (10, 14) are lockable independently of one another, the pivot lever (10, 14) having the lockable pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) comprising an additional pivot pin (12e) extending parallel to the pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and thereby being subdivided into two lever segments (14, 16) joined in articulated fashion to one another.

Abstract: A center console assembly for use in a vehicle includes a table capable of being disposed within a center console. A linear drive mechanism is coupled to the table. The linear drive mechanism includes a driver capable of moving the table from a retracted position within the center console to an extracted position outside of the center console.

Abstract: An improved parcel van provides two additional passenger seats within the cargo section of the van. A bulkhead wall defines an additional passenger seating area in the portion of the cargo section immediately adjacent the cab. The bulkhead separates the additional seating area from the remainder of the cargo section. The additional seating area includes a downwardly projecting channel running parallel to the long axis of the vehicle. The additional seats face inward toward the channel. The channel provides space for the legs of the additional passengers and creates a walkway between the cab section and the cargo section. The backs of the additional seats may be folded down so that a significant portion of the additional seating area may be used to store appropriately secured cargo when the additional seating is not required.
