20090140565 | Heavy Duty Reclining Mechanism for Vehicle Seats - A manual vehicle seat reclining mechanism and seat assembly incorporating the reclining mechanism is disclosed. A guide plate and a pivotal plate are assembled together and disposed between the seat base and seat back. A cam is biased by a spring to hold locking elements in engagement with the pivotal plate. A control plate is manually rotated with the cam to release the locking elements by drawing pins on one side of the locking plates radially inwardly with slots provided in the control plate. Ribs are provided on the pivotal plate that prevent the locking elements from returning to the locked position in certain radial alignments of the pivotal plate relative to the guide plate. | 06-04-2009 |

20140008956 | CONTINUOUS MANUAL RECLINER WITH INTEGRATED LOCK - A continuous manual seat recliner mechanism with an integrated lock includes an upper gear plate and lower gear plate in geared connection with the upper gear plate. The upper gear plate is able to rotate eccentrically in relation to the lower gear plate. A coiled locking spring is located within a central bore of a lock cylinder which is fixed to the lower gear plate so that an outside surface of the locking spring may frictionally engage the lock cylinder to prevent the lock cylinder and, thereby, the lower gear, from rotating. The ends of the lock spring engage with a knob hub and a driver hub such that rotation of the knob hub unlocks the recliner to allow adjustment by the operator, while rotation of the driver hub locks the recliner mechanism. | 01-09-2014 |

20150078750 | NONLINEAR FOURIER ANALYSIS IN OPTICAL SYSTEMS - A receiver configured to receive wave packets encoded with data via a nonlinear channel is disclosed. The receiver includes an input configured to receive the wave packets from the non-linear channel. The receiver also includes a processor configured to generate a transfer matrix from the received wave packets and find the representation of the transfer matrix as ratios of polynomials and compute the non-linear Fourier spectrum in which the data has been embedded. The receiver may also include a demodulator configured to demodulate the non-linear Fourier spectrum to recover the data. Periodic boundary conditions may be selected. Boundary conditions may be selected based on a non-periodic vanishing signal. The received wave packets may be configured as solitons. The nonlinear channel may be an optical channel. | 03-19-2015 |

20080282661 | Paddle assembly for corn-head sweeper - A sweeper for a corn harvester includes self-gripping paddle assemblies mounted about a drive axle. The self-gripping paddle assemblies have a plurality of paddles formed of flat plate stock with a high moment of inertia formed by stiffeners extending from the flat plate. The stiffener plates are orthogonal to the axis of the drive axle and to the base plate. The orthogonal plates have curved surfaces formed such that when the paddles are connected together, the curved surfaces grip the drive axle. One embodiment of paddle assemblies is foldable and one embodiment of paddle is formed to permit easy stacking one inside of the other for shipment | 11-20-2008 |
