  • Patent number: 11311432
    Abstract: A wheelchair lift for mounting to a vehicle includes a platform assembly configured to support a wheelchair. The wheelchair lift includes a roll stop to be moved between an entry position to allow a wheelchair to be loaded to or unloaded from the platform assembly, and a barrier position to prevent the wheelchair from falling off the platform assembly. The wheelchair lift includes a mechanical actuator mechanism for moving the roll stop between the entry position and the barrier position. The mechanical actuator mechanism is configured to keep the roll stop in the entry position, when the platform assembly is in a ground level position, and to block the roll stop from moving from the barrier position to the entry level position, when the platform assembly is in the horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 11314538
    Abstract: An interrupt signal is provided to a target processor. An interrupt signal is received with an interrupt target ID identifying a processor as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The interrupt signal is forwarded to the target processor for handling. A translation of the interrupt target ID to a logical processor ID of the target processor is used to address the target processor directly. The bus attachment device updates a directed interrupt signal indicator of a directed interrupt signal vector assigned to the target processor in order to indicate that there is an interrupt signal addressed to the respective interrupt target ID to be handled.
