Abstract: A legless chair includes a seat, a seatback having its bottom side connected to the seat, and a flexible member backwardly extending from a rear side of the seat. When the user sitting on the seat forces his/her back against the seatback to tilt the legless chair backwards, the flexible member is bendable to impart a damping force against the backwardly tilting motion of the legless chair so as to prevent the backward falling of the legless chair.

Abstract: A proposed smart batteryless backup device is designed for the reception of data transmitted by controlled equipment, backing up said data in the case of the controlled equipment power failure or in accordance with several program requirements, and also for the subsequent restoration. Proposed device improves trust level of the backup if device is powered by interface signal lines and doesn't have batteries and electrical characteristics of the backup device fluctuating due to humidity and temperature influences as well as during device lifetime.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for integrating an indicator light in a connector assembly. A connector is mounted on a first side of the circuit board and an LED is mounted on an opposing side of the circuit board such that the LED is configured to project light through a light transfer passage into the interior of the connector on the first side of the circuit board. The LED can be used to provide a visual indication of a configuration or status of a circuit associated with the connector. The visual indication illuminates the interior surface of the connector when it is empty or illuminates a light transmissible plug inserted into the connector such that the visual indication is visible external to the connector. The novel arrangement can reduce manufacturing costs and permit easier replacement of a defective LED without requiring the removal of the connector.

Abstract: This invention relates to supervised or unsupervised classification of biological datasets. Specifically, the invention relates to the use of Graph Embedding as a method of reducing dimensionality thereby improving supervised classification of classes, both conventional and new ones.

Abstract: A dental bur structure including a rotatable shaft turned by a motor. The shaft possesses a proximal portion having a fluted surface. The bur also possesses a distal portion with a smooth surface tip which generates heat to melt a composite post matrix upon activation of the shaft. The fluted surface removes a composite material while the smooth tip serves as a guide for the bur.

Abstract: The present invention proposes to apply against dangerous natural phenomena (mainly hurricane) relocatable water pump stations using wave energy and having two states: operating state (for cold water pumping) and collapsed state (suitable for transportation). In collapsed state these stations have a severe less cross-section at least in one of horizontal directions. Such stations include reconfiguration means for theirs transforming from one said state to the second state and back.
