20110229359DIAPHRAGM PUMP FOR A SEAT ADJUSTING DEVICE AND SEAT ADJUSTING DEVICE - A diaphragm pump for a seat adjusting device comprises a diaphragm and a valve member which define a pump chamber therebetween. An inlet valve and an outlet valve are formed on the valve member. A pressure chamber is in fluid communication with the outlet valve and receives fluid discharged from the pump chamber via the outlet valve. One of the diaphragm and the valve member comprises a valve membrane of a pressure relief valve integrated in the pump. The valve membrane is integrally formed with the one of the diaphragm and the valve member. The valve membrane is moveable between a first configuration in which the valve membrane closes a pressure relief channel and a second configuration in which the valve membrane opens the pressure relief channel to allow fluid to be discharged from the pressure chamber.09-22-2011

20110278891MODULAR CONTOUR SUPPORT APPARATUS - A four way lumbar support for an automobile seat includes a wire array, a fixed frame, and a basculating arm. When in its extended position, the basculating arm exerts pressure on the wire array thus providing lumbar support to the seat occupant at that point. A system of cables and sliding connections allows the basculating arm to slide along the fixed frame so that the lumbar support may be provided at different heights within the seat.11-17-2011

20110222696CONFIGURABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE REPROGRAMMABLE TO MODIFY THE DEVICE FREQUENCY RESPONSE - A test signal generator provides a test signal to an acoustic device under test and a data acquisition device acquires data from the acoustic device. The initial frequency response of the signal path through the acoustic device is determined based on the test signal and the acquired data. A target frequency response is selected. A desired configuration of a configurable circuit in the signal path is determined modifying the signal path such that the frequency response of the signal path is substantially similar to the target frequency response. At least one parameter for at least one programmable component of the configurable circuit is determined and programmed into the programmable component.09-15-2011

20090004550In situ fabricated electrochemical device - An electrochemical device, such as a fuel cell, and method of forming it, in which electrodes, such as anode and cathode, are disposed on a semipermeable or permeable membrane having ion conduction channels. Electrocatalyst is deposited on locations on the electrodes limited to and corresponding to the ion conduction channels. In a first embodiment, anode and cathode electrodes sandwich the membrane, a counter electrode is connected to one of the electrodes, electrolyte containing an electrochemical precursor to the electrocatalyst is applied to the other electrode whereby, upon applying current to the counter electrode, electrocatalyst is deposited on locations on the first electrode corresponding to the ion conduction channels. The process is repeated with the counter electrode connected on the other electrode of the cell. In a second embodiment, a combination of a first electrode and a first membrane is assembled as is a combination of a second electrode and a second membrane. A counter electrode and electrolyte containing an electrochemical precursor to the electrocatalyst are separately applied to the first combination, then the second combination whereby, upon applying current to the counter electrodes, electrocatalyst is deposited on locations on the first and second electrodes corresponding to the ion conduction channels. The surfaces of the first and second membranes are joined opposite their respective electrodes to a porous coupling layer to form the electrochemical device.01-01-2009
