  • Patent number: 6942300
    Abstract: A net member is stretched over a frame for a seat and backrest of a chair. An engagement member attached to the end of the net member is inserted into an engagement groove on the lower surface of the basic frame. A binding frame is pressed onto the lower surface of the basic frame and the net member is fixed between the basic frame and the binding frame by the engagement piece. Warps are woven or knitted in a mesh structure over the seat and backrest to wefts comprising elastic yarns and chenille yarns.

  • Publication number: 20040017102
    Abstract: A chair has a backrest and a pair of armrests. A pair of support struts for supporting the backrest is connected to a shaft of a base under a seat. The armrest is supported by an arm post. An operating lever is mounted on the upper front end of the arm post. When the backrest is tilted, it is held at a desired angle by pressing up the operating lever.

  • Patent number: 5329190
    Abstract: A termination circuit having a large margin which prevents the occurrence of a reflected wave due to a noise at the far end of a transmission line, thereby reducing the power consumption in the termination impedance. The termination circuit is constructed such that a first transistor is connected to a first potential and a second transistor is connected to a second potential which constitute the output stage of the termination circuit. The transistors are driven by first and second inverters having different input/output characteristics, respectively, thereby increasing the operation margin of the termination circuit. Particularly, if the second potential is assumed to be lower than the first potential, the second inverter driving the second transistor has such input/output characteristics that it outputs an output voltage which turns off the second transistor before the first inverter turns on the first transistor as the input voltage increases.

  • Patent number: 4001612
    Abstract: This invention features the use of two paralleled insulated gate depletion channel field effect transistors (FET) having their gates connected one to the source voltage and one to the drain voltage to provide a linear resistance element. The actual resistance value can be controlled by selecting design parameters and can be extended by using a plurality of such elements in series to provide greater resistances and/or higher voltage capabilities or in parallel to provide greater current capacity. The described resistor is used as a cost and space saving alternate to discrete resistor components and is particularly useful as a part of an integrated circuit in analog type devices.
