Title: Adjustable belt guide and headrest
Inventor: JOHNSON RICHARD F
IPC: B60N2/829
Filed: 1994-03-14
Abstract: An adjustable belt guide and headrest apparatus for a vehicle seat. The apparatus includes a pair of first track members and a pair of second track members slidable longitudinally relative to the first track members. An upper end of the second track members includes a cantilevered headrest frame member and a shoulder belt guide, both of which move towards and away from a seat back portion of the vehicle seat when the second frame rails are moved slidably. A threaded drive rod is fixedly secured to the second frame rails. The threaded drive rod is driven by an operator controllable, reversible DC motor. Operation of the DC motor causes the threaded drive rod to be driven so as to cause the second track members to move up and down slidably relative to the seat back, thereby allowing the headrest and seat belt guide to be concurrently adjusted to suit the height of the driver with a single adjustment. In the preferred embodiment, a reinforcement member is affixed to a lateral side of the seat back portion and the first track members are mounted to the reinforcement member. This reinforced structure enables the present invention to exceed federal seat belt load standards.

A pair of shoulder supporting elements are rigidly fixed to the back wall. Each shoulder supporting element has a substantially "C"-shaped end which extends outwardly from the back wall. The substantially "C"-shaped ends are adapted to be placed over the user's shoulder. A hooking slot extends through the front wall. The firewood carrying device is adapted to be hung to a wall surface. In order to hang the wood carrying device, a hooking pin must first be mounted on the wall surface. The firewood carrying device 10 can then be releasably hooked to the hooking pin by releasably inserting the hooking pin through the hooking slot. The firewood carrier can be loaded and unloaded while it is hung to the wall surface. This method of operation prevents the user from having to bend while holding a relatively heavy loaded firewood carrier. Once the firewood carrier is loaded with logs, it can be lifted off the hook by the user wearing the firewood carrier over his shoulder in an ergonomical fashion. A top handle extending across the upper portion of the firewood carrier between the front wall and the back wall allows the firewood carrier to be handled in a suitcase manner. A pair of side handles extending from the back wall facilitate the ergonomical handling of the firewood carrier.

Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: A hybrid human/porcine coagulation factor VIII is produced by isolation and recombination of human and porcine factor VIII subunits, or by genetic engineering of the human and porcine factor VIII  genes. Subunits of factor VIII that have been puri-fied from human or porcine plasma are isolated, and hybrid human/porcine factor VIII is produced by mixing either porcine heavy chain subunits with human light chain subunits or by mixing human heavy chain subunits with porcine light chain subun-its, thereby producing human light chain/porcine heavy chain and human heavy chain/porcine light chain hybrid molecules. These hybrid molecules are isolated by ion exchange chromatography.  Alternatively, recombinant DNA methods are used to swap elements of porcine factor VIII for the corresponding elements of human factor VIII to produce hybrid human/porcine fac-tor VIII.

Abstract: REPAIR OF MESH ELECTRODE SPACED FROM ELECTRODE PAN      Abstract of the Disclosure Electrodes  such  as  mesh  electrodes  can  be  in configurations where they are separated from electrode back pans by standoffs.   The mesh electrodes are very adherently secured to the standoffs.  When the electrodes are in need of repair, removal and refurbishing can be a problem.   There is now disclosed a method of electrode repair which in large part retains original structure by first removing the mesh electrode and then at  least substantially the top of the standoff.   A replacement standoff assembly is placed against the retained portion of the original standoff and secured thereto.  Refurbished or new electrode mesh can be adhered to the resulting replacement standoff.  This may include welding of mesh electrode  strands  utilizing  weld  nuggets  which  are substantially the size of the strands.  The refurbishing technique  can  maintain  original  separation  distances between the back pan and the electrode.   The structure provided can be in an "as new" condition without need for repair at an off site location from where the electrode will be used.
