  • Publication number: 20220208390
    Abstract: A vaccination record is provided. Initially, when a patient gets a vaccine, such as a COVID-19 vaccine, an indication of the vaccine is stored in an electronic file or data structure associated with the patient called a vaccination record. The record may include information such as the type of vaccine that was administered, the date that the vaccine was administered, and an indication of the entity (e.g., clinician or healthcare practitioner that performed the vaccine). The record of the vaccine may be created in response to a billing submission by the entity. Later, the patient may use the vaccination record to provide proof to third-party verifiers that the patient in fact received the vaccine.

  • Publication number: 20190176595
    Abstract: Disclosed are vehicle sunroof assemblies with enhanced water management systems, methods for making/using such sunroof assemblies, and vehicles equipped with sunroof assemblies having sunshade water drainage backup capabilities. A representative sunroof assembly includes a frame that attaches to the body of a motor vehicle, positioned within an aperture in the vehicle's roof structure. A center panel is movably mounted to the frame, and operable to transition between open and closed positions to thereby obstruct and expose the aperture. Also attached to the frame is a drain channel that collects and expels fluids from the sunroof assembly. A sunshade is movably mounted to the frame adjacent the center panel. The sunshade manually or automatically transitions between deployed and stowed positions to thereby prevent and allow the passage of light through the roof's aperture. When in the deployed position, the sunshade repels water and directs the repelled water into the drain channel.

  • Patent number: 9421951
    Abstract: The present invention relates a wiper assembly having an elongated wiping element, a pair of elongated splines, and a pair of end caps. The wiping element has a head portion and a wiping portion. The splines support the wiping element and each has opposing longitudinal ends, lateral sides, top and bottom surfaces, a first pair of notches disposed at the longitudinal ends, and a second pair of notches disposed along the lateral sides spaced from the end. The end caps are mounted to the ends and have a body defined by a shell extending from a distal surface, a pair of lower shelves extending from the surface facing each other, a valley between the shelves, mounts extending from the surface and engaging the first notches, and resilient tabs extending from the mounts and having hook sections disposed within each of the second notches of the splines.

  • Patent number: 9248808
    Abstract: A heated wiper assembly includes a wiping element adapted to contact a surface to be wiped. The heated wiper assembly also includes at least one elongated beam acting to support the wiping element. The heated wiper assembly further includes a pair of end caps operatively mounted to ends of the beam and an airfoil operatively mounted to the beam and extending between the end caps. The heated wiper assembly includes a plurality of heating elements extending longitudinally along lateral sides of the airfoil adjacent the wiping element to heat the wiping element to resist snow and ice build-up on the wiper assembly.
