The seat is made movable between a first position in which a seat cushion is supported on a lower floor via the front leg and the rear leg, and a second position in which the rear leg is disengaged from the lower floor and pivoted toward the seat cushion, a front portion of the seat cushion is supported on the lower floor via the front leg, and a rear portion of the seat cushion is supported on an upper floor.

It is an objective of the present invention to provide an antenna construction that allows the thickness of an antenna structure be lower than that of planar antennas according to prior art without sacrificing the radiation efficiency at the desired RF-bands as 900 MHz GSM and 1800 MHz / 1900 MHz DCS / PCS. A further object of the invention is to provide an antenna construction that is insensitive to changes in positions of electrically conductive objects in the vicinity. The objectives of the invention are achieved by a loop antenna structure equipped with an electrically conductive parasitic radiator that is electro-magnetically coupled with the antenna loop. Performance at the DCS / PCS bands can be further improved by using an electrically conductive tuner element that provides a stronger electromagnetic coupling between the antenna loop and the parasitic radiator.

The invention belongs to the field of application of liquid crystal materials, and provides a method for preparing a wide wave reflective film by using a polymer stabilized cholesteric phase liquid crystal material. The polymer stabilized cholesteric phase liquid crystal material can be widely used in the fields of light enhancement films of liquid crystal displays, energy-saving glass sticking films and the like. The method comprises a process that the wide wave reflective film is prepared by evenly mixing a non-photopolymerisable nematic phase micro-molecule liquid crystal, a photopolymerisable nematic phase liquid crystal monomer, a chiral compound and a photoinitiator in a certain mass ratio; and a polymer network is formed through ultraviolet radiation. In the method, a liquid crystal box is soaked in organic solvent to extract the unreacted micro-molecule liquid crystal so as to obtain a pure polymer network; a coarse-pitch cholesteric phase liquid crystal is injected into the system; and ultraviolet polymerization is performed again to fix the swelling process of the polymer network so as to form the polymer stabilized cholesteric phase liquid crystal material with wide wave reflection. The method has the advantages that the material system and the manufacturing process are simple, the material source is extensive, and the reflected wave width and the reflection position of the system can be adjusted by changing the reflection positions of the polymer network and the injected cholesteric phase liquid crystal.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus uses a halftone spot consisting of multiple dot images formed in pixel areas so as to represent a gray scale and to reproduce an image. It has a halftone processor for generating image reproduction data for each pixel by referring to a transformation table wherein gray level data for the image and correlated image reproduction data are stored. The transformation table includes first look-up tables that each store gray level data and correlated first image reproduction data, including size data for virtual dots, each of which corresponds to one of the dot images, second look-up tables that each store gray level data and correlated second image reproduction data, including size data for virtual dots, each of which corresponds to one of the dot images, and a pattern matrix, elements of which are correlated with multiple pixels in a predetermined area of an image and each indicate one of the first look-up tables and one of the second look-up tables that are to be referred to.

The invention relates to a guide for devices for processing sheet material, particularly bank notes and checks, that is equipped with a guide body (1) having multiple guide wings (2) on the guide body (1), said guide wings (2) having at least three edges (15, 16, 17) running parallel to one another tapering to a point, said guide further comprising a guide drive (3, 4, 5) connected to the guide body (1) that places the guide body (1) in motion in at least two different directions, at least one of the two motions being a linear translational motion.

A binding device for retaining footwear securely to a snowshoe, ski, snowboard, and other apparatuses for traversing mainly over snow and ice covered terrain. The mounting plate includes multiple direct locking features on the mounting plate surface which interact with mating interfaces on a ski device. At least one strap coupled to the mounting plate is disclosed for securing a boot to the mounting plate foot bed. A positional releasable axle pivot pin that may selectively articulate the mounting plate and selectively aid in a locked heel mode directly on the mounting plate is disclosed. A first position wherein the binding may articulate in a walking motion on the axle pivot pin when connected to a ski device and a second position wherein the axle pivot pin and secondary locking feature in the mounting plate may be engaged wherein articulation and the walking motion of the mounting plate is prevented.

The invention relates to an apparatus for positioning and fastening a device, in particular of a handle on a power tool. The apparatus includes a receptacle for the device, which receptacle is adjustable between at least one positioning position and at least one fastening position. The at least two positions of the device are definable by a tension lever. A detent geometry, embodied with the receptacle, cooperates with a receptacle geometry, embodied on or associated with the power tool. Various radial positions of the apparatus relative to the power tool can be set by the detent geometry and the receptacle geometry. According to the invention, it is provided that in addition, an axial securing device associated with the apparatus or the power tool, is provided, which in the positioning position and the fastening position secures the apparatus in its axial position relative to the power tool.

A device connector has a housing main body (10), a device-side housing portion (12) to be accommodated in a connector mounting hole, a reinforcing plate (30) including an opening (31) for permitting the passage of terminal fittings, and a flange (11) formed by insert molding using the reinforcing plate (30) and synthetic resin, and terminal fittings 15.
