Abstract: A convertible work station is operable to convert between an operating configuration and a storage configuration. The work station comprises: right and left base shoulder elements; right and left horizontal base members for supporting the work station on a surface, pivotally connected to the shoulder elements and constrained to pivot along a horizontal plane and lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements; right and left first support members spaced apart from each other and having first and second ends and the support members being pivotally connected to the respective right and left shoulder elements at their first ends and constrained to pivot in one direction. The support members are lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements. A work station component is pivotally connected to the second ends of the right and left support members.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-speed interface for radio systems, in particular to a synchronous serial digital interface for a car radio. In an embodiment, the synchronous serial digital interface for at least dual radio receiver systems includes a master device and a slave device. The dual radio receiver system has an intermediate frequency. The master device and the slave device exchange data in a bi-directional manner on at least one communication channel; the master device and the slave device have a unique bit clock; the master device supplies a synchronization signal to the slave device. The synchronization signal has a frequency spectrum with an amplitude at the intermediate frequency lower than the amplitudes at the other frequencies of the synchronization signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of routing or compressing packets destination address through an electronic routing or compressing device, the packets destination address being n bit packets and having address indicative of a desired destination, the address being classless, the routing device having at least a data base of prefix entries, each of which containing entries corresponding to a desired output data link, the method having the steps of: a) generating an address mask until an entry matching a masked address obtained by making an AND operation between the packets destination address and the address mask, is found in the data; the address mask having a number of bit equal to that of the packets destination address and having, starting from the most significant n-bit equal to 1 and the remaining i bit equal to 0, with 0<=u<=b.

Abstract: A multimedia display system for displaying visual or audio visual media is provided. The system has a base and a rigid stand connected to the base. The stand has at least one support member that forms an acute angle with the base. An articulated arm is operatively connected to the stand and an attachment device connected to the articulated arm for attaching modules that display media.
