Abstract: The present disclosure describes oligonucleotide-tethered nucleotides, methods of making them, and methods of using them. The oligonucleotide-tethered nucleotides comprise, in some embodiments, a nucleotide linked to an oligonucleotide of from about 3 to about 100 nucleotides in length. These oligonucleotide-tethered nucleotides can be used to label a plurality of different types of nucleic acids in a plurality of different situations with a known oligonucleotide, which can serve as a barcode in some embodiments. The resulting oligonucleotide-labeled nucleic acids oligo-nucleotides can be used in a variety of nucleic acid sequencing methods.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to latch mechanisms for controlling reclining movement of a vehicle seat back and more particularly to a seat back latch that precludes audible "ratcheting" of the latch thereof. A spring loaded pawl is engageable with an articulated slidable arm to latch the seat at a desired reclining position. The pawl is pivoted so as to bias the arm away from the teeth thereon due to an angular relationship between the pawl and arm when the arm is released for movement.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a quick release latch mechanism for controlling reclining movement of a vehicle seat back. A spring loaded pawl is engageable with an articulated slidable arm to latch the seat at a desired reclining position. The pawl is pivoted so as to bias the arm away from the teeth thereon due to an angular relationship between the pawl and arm when the arm is released for movement. A cam plate having a lost motion connection with a manual operator controls opening of the latch mechanism.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a mechanism for controlling reclining movement of a vehicle seat back. A pair of pawls are engageable with an articulated slidable ratchet arm to latch the seat at a desired reclining position. The pawls are manually movable to an unlatched condition relative to the ratchet arm under the control of a pair of pawl control plates that both float the arm and positively orientate the pawls relative thereto.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a latch mechanism for controlling reclining movement of a vehicle seat back. A pair of latches are engageable with an articulated slidable link to latch the seat at a desired reclining position. The latches are manually movable to an unlatched condition relative to the link at which time the link is movable therebetween.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a latch structure for controlling movement of a pivoted vehicle seat back rearwardly to a reclining position and forwardly to facilitate entry to the rear seat of the vehicle. A spring loaded latch latches the seat at any desired reclining position. A normally locked inertia lock is provided to maintain the seat back in the locked condition relative to the seat cushion during normal vehicle operation and upon sudden deceleration of the vehicle yet automatically opens to provide for forward movement of the seat back when the vehicle is in the static condition.

Abstract: An improved safety belt tension eliminator which allows the wearer to ease the belt pressure on his body after the belt is attached. The control mechanism for the tension eliminator has an improved stop-follower mechanism which is uniquely spring mounted, adjusted and actuated.
