  • Adjuster and adjuster assembly
    Patent number: 7118259
    Abstract: An adjuster having a housing or lamp housing with an adjuster portion, a gear positioned inside the housing or adjuster portion, a control rod engaged to the gear and extending from the housing or adjuster portion, and at least one tang outside the housing or adjuster portion such that the tang engages the control rod and prevents rotation thereof. As such, rotation of the gear results in linear movement of the control rod. The adjuster may be positioned on a lamp housing, or other structure.

  • Adjuster for headlamp assembly
    Patent number: 7066632
    Abstract: A lightweight and compact headlamp adjuster is constructed primarily from plastic materials. The adjuster may include a VHAD that is non-recalibratable after the headlamp aim is factory set. The adjuster includes an input shaft that engages a gear located within a housing. When the input shaft is rotated, a ball stud moves linearly to adjust the headlamp to which it is connected. The adjuster is not subject to over-adjustment when it includes a clutching mechanism provided by the interaction of the ball stud with the gear.

  • Methods for reducing body fat using vitamin D compounds
    Patent number: 7053075
    Abstract: A treatment for obesity and overweight comprises administering a vitamin D analog. The analog effectively inhibits an increase in body fat to animals at risk and decreases the basal fat content of animals. The treatment has a positive effect on the lean body component such that while there is an overall decrease in body weight, there is also a decrease in percent body fat. This decrease can be proportionally greater than the overall decrease in body weight. In addition, the treatment has a positive effect on bone turnover and osteogenesis making the vitamin D analog a beneficial treatment for the symptoms of menopause. Various exemplary embodiments of the treatment use the 2-alkylidene derivatives of vitamin D3, such as the 2-alkylidene-19-nor derivatives in both the R and S configurations at carbon-20.
