Abstract: To provide an air bag module mounting structure which can reduce the volume of an installation space for an air bag module and can ensure high maintainability. An air bag module is fixed through right and left supporting stays to a pair of right and left upper tubes extending rearward from a head pipe of a frame in a motorcycle so as to straddle the space between the right and left upper tubes. An audio unit and an air cleaner box are located in the space formed below the air bag module. The right supporting stay is fixed to the right upper tube at two points, and the left supporting stay is fixed to the left upper tube at one point. With this arrangement, the audio unit and an upper cover of the air cleaner box can be removed without the need for displacement or removal of the air bag module. Thus, the installation space for the air bag module can be reduced in volume, and high maintainability can also be ensured.

Abstract: A power-release door lock system for an automotive door having a latch, including a ratchet (18) and pawl (20), and an electro-mechanical exterior latch release mechanism (220) for actuating the pawl to release the ratchet. The system includes a controller (210) and a pressure sensitive switch (216) mounted to an outside door handle (214) of the automotive door and electrically connected to the controller. The controller is programmed to disable the pressure sensitive switch in response to a predetermined "lock" signal and enable the pressure sensitive switch in response to a pre-determined "unlock" signal, in which case the controller energizes the exterior latch release mechanism to release the ratchet in the event the pressure sensitive switch is actuated. The system eliminates the need for an exterior lock assembly and its attendant inside lock button or rod.

Inventor: BARAN GEORGE
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 1995-06-16
Granted: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering a medicine to a patient via the patient's respiratory system with control and efficiency. A nebulization catheter is positioned in the patient's respiratory system so that a distal end of the nebulization catheter is in the respiratory system and a proximal end is outside the body. In a first aspect, the nebulization catheter may be used in conjunction with an endotracheal tube and preferably is removable from the endotracheal tube. The nebulization catheter conveys medicine in liquid form to the distal end at which location the medicine is nebulize by a pressurized gas or other nebulizing mechanism. The nebulized medicine is conveyed to the patient's lungs by the patient's respiration which may be assisted by a ventilator. By producing the aerosol of the liquid medicine at a location inside the patient's respiratory system, the nebulizing catheter provides for increased efficiency and control of the dosage of medicine being delivered. In further aspects of the nebulizing catheter apparatus and method, alternative tip constructions, flow pulsation patterns, centering devices, sensing devices, and aspiration features afford greater efficiency and control of aerosolized medicine dosage delivery.
