  • Publication number: 20250332973
    Abstract: A device for attaching a headrest to a vehicle seat with the possibility of adjusting the headrest relative to the vehicle seat according to an adjustment axis. The device for attaching includes a receiving space for receiving a support element of the headrest, a locking element movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, a control member, and a transmission mechanism having at least one rotatable transmission element movable in rotation around a rotation axis parallel to the adjustment axis. Rotation of each transmission element causes the displacement of the locking element from the locking position to the unlocking position.

  • Patent number: 7171407
    Abstract: A system and method for processing documents, such as XML documents, wherein the method includes the steps of: receiving a query comprising search criteria; receiving at least a portion of a document; modifying the search criteria such that constraints specifying a backward relation may be reformulated into constraints specifying a forward relation; processing the document using the modified criteria; and locating one or more nodes that satisfy the search criteria; and, emitting the selected nodes as output.

  • Publication number: 20060161892
    Abstract: The provision of methods and apparatus to determine package identity for an application build. The idea is based on providing a mapping of package with affiliated attributes such as paths used for include or linking, along with reverse mappings. This mapping could be provided through any number of conventional environments such as program development environments or operating system registries: Tools would access this information through a programmatic interface, and use that information to identify packages affiliated with some information. For example, a symbol in a program would be defined in some file. That file would be in a path, which maps to the package identity. Thus, the symbol definition can be conceptually affiliated with a package.
