  • Patent number: 9113712
    Abstract: A method of converting a recliner from manual actuation to powered actuation that includes providing a recliner having a frame, a recliner mechanism with a base coupled to the frame and a hinged linkage movably coupled to the base, and a manual actuator that releases the hinged linkage to move under an occupant-applied force. The method also includes disconnecting and removing the manual actuator from the recliner and, without disassembly of the recliner mechanism from the frame, removing a spring assist device extending between the hinged linkage and the base, installing a drive unit to the recliner mechanism, installing a power actuator on the frame with electrical communication to the drive unit, and establishing electrical communication between the drive unit and a source of electrical power, so that activation of the power actuator causes the drive unit to move the hinged linkage under powered actuation.

  • Patent number: 8144719
    Abstract: A system includes multiple input ports that forward received data (e.g., data packets) to each of multiple queues. Data received at the input ports of the system can be somewhat random or “bursty” at times. That is, the input ports can receive data at a variable bit rate or unspecified bit rate from an internal system source or an external source such as an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server or SCSI disk array. The queues output data at a constant bit rate. A two-dimensional scheduler associated with the system forces random inbound server traffic from the input ports to adhere to a QoS (Quality of Service) agreement such that the random nature of the inbound traffic does not negatively affect the deterministic guarantees of existing server traffic output from the queues. In other words, techniques herein ensure adherence to QoS requirements among the data flows, without overflowing the queues.

  • Patent number: 8145869
    Abstract: A single data bus to a memory device can be split up into a number of data bus portions, each of which is managed by a different respective controller chip of multiple controller chips. During a memory access to a respective memory device, each of the multiple controller chips controls a different corresponding portion of the data bus to retrieve data from or store data to the memory device depending on whether the access is a read or write. To perform the data access, a synchronizer circuit (internal and/or external to the memory controller chips) synchronizes the multiple memory controller chips such that one of the memory controller chips drives the address bus and/or control signals to the memory device. After setting the address to the memory device, the memory controller chips either read data from or write data to the memory device based on the address.
