Abstract: A vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag module (18) that is disposed in a roof area (16) of a vehicle and is assigned to a front seat (14). The airbag module (18) comprises an airbag (20) that is disposed so that it deploys in the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) in front of a vehicle occupant (12) seated in the front seat (14), wherein a baffle (24) of the airbag (20) in the filled state is aligned transversely to the vehicle longitudinal direction (L) and faces the vehicle occupant (12). In a situation of restraint, it can be decided whether the airbag (20) is filled depending on whether the vehicle occupant (12) is touching a steering wheel (38) of the vehicle, wherein a steering wheel airbag is exclusively filled when a contact with the steering wheel (38) is detected.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are wearable bands for biomarker tracking and methods for making the wearable bands. The biomarker tracking wearable band having a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), the PCBA including an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor utilizing printed Silver-Silver Chloride (Ag-AgCl) electrodes and an optical photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor utilizing more than two light emitting diodes (LEDs), and a directly over molded band encasing the PCBA.

Abstract: A structure or apparatus for attaching accessories or monitor arms to the post of an monitor or display stand. The apparatus included a collar or collet for selectively attaching to a post of the stand, the collet or collar includes a plurality of slots or keyways or receivers about its circumference, the collar or collet including a retainer to selectively allow access to the slots to allow accessories to the placed in the slots or secured in the slots. The plurality of slots allows the accessories to be placed in different orientations or positions with respect to one another. The accessories have profile portions that are complimentary to the receivers.

Abstract: A thrust reverser blocker door may comprise a proximal surface, a distal surface located opposite the proximal surface, a first attachment feature extending from the distal surface, a second attachment feature extending from the distal surface, a drag link housing extending from the distal surface, a first diagonal stiffener extending from the distal surface and extending between the first attachment feature and the drag link housing, a second diagonal stiffener extending from the distal surface and extending between the second attachment feature and the drag link housing, a first perimetrical stiffener extending from the distal surface and extending from the first attachment feature and the drag link housing, a second perimetrical stiffener extending from the distal surface and extending from the second attachment feature and the drag link housing, and a middle stiffener extending between the first attachment feature and the second attachment feature.

Abstract: A decoder for a two-wire irrigation system is disclosed, having the ability to be remotely updated with new firmware over the two-wire network, the ability to download irrigation commands that can be executed at a later time, the ability to adjust its data speed when data corruption is encountered, and the ability to sense the position of an attached solenoid plunger.
