Abstract: A height adjustment system for a desk or workstation comprises plurality of height adjustable legs each having a first part in the form of a hollow column and a second part movable relative to the first part in a vertical direction. The second part of each leg includes a gearbox housing containing a crown gear provided on a vertically extending rotatable shaft and at least one pinion gear engageable with said crown gear. The gearbox housing includes ball bearing race assemblies for the crown and pinion gears which enable the height of two or more legs to be adjusted simultaneously by a single winding mechanism. The leg also includes a self-adjusting linear bearing between telescopically movable parts of the leg. The height adjustment system may also include a duct for cabling, a cable tray and a hinged duct cover pivotally attached to the top member.

Abstract: A computer simulator for vehicles such as racing cars in which there is a steering mechanism which has an elastomeric flexible coupling (10) between the steering wheel (1) and the computer control mechanism which controls the action of the simulated vehicle on a video display unit so that the steering wheel has the feel of the actual vehicle, preferably there are gear change levers (16) forming part of the steering wheel (1) and foot pedals (22) and sound simulators which are interactive with the computer to enhance the simulation.

Abstract: A height adjustment system for a desk, workstation or the like is provided comprising a plurality of height adjustable legs each having a first part in the form of a hollow column and a second part movable relative to the first part in a vertical direction. The second part of each leg includes a gearbox housing containing a crown gear provided on a vertically extending rotatable shaft and at least one pinion gear engageable with said crown gear. The vertical shaft includes a screw-threaded portion engaged by nuts on a base plate of the column. A winding mechanism is provided for rotating a horizontally extending shaft on which the pinion gear is provided. Rotation of the horizontal shaft causes the vertical shaft to rotate thereby moving the second part relative to the column so adjust the height of a top member secured on the gearbox housing.

Abstract: A confocal microscope including a light source; an optical fiber bundle defining a plurality of optical channels for receiving light from the light source and for transmitting the light to an object and for allowing light to return from the object through the optical fiber bundle; a switch for selectively switching selected fibers in the optical fiber bundle so as to allow light to selectively be transmitted and returned through individual optical channels until an image of the object is produced; and a detector for receiving returned light from the optical fiber bundle to enable the image of the object to be produced.
