Abstract: Apparatus (102) for connecting an object (104) to a part of a vehicle (106), the mounting apparatus (102) including two or more of a first mechanism (108) adjustable in a direction substantially parallel with respect to the left-right axis of the vehicle, a second mechanism (110) adjustable in a direction substantially parallel with respect to the front-to-rear axis of the vehicle, and a third mechanism (112) adjustable in a direction substantially parallel with respect to the vertical axis of the vehicle.

Abstract: A variable distance spacer for use in vehicle assembly which includes two spacer components. Each spacer component includes a base and at least one arm connected to the base. The arm includes a plurality of substantially parallel rails depending therefrom. The rails are evenly offset from each other along the arm, wherein the rails on the arm of one spacer component are configured to slidably engage between two adjacent rails on the arm of the other spacer component along a slide axis, and, when slidably engaged, the spacer components are substantially prevented from moving relative to each other except along the slide axis. The distance between the bases of the two spacer components is changeable by varying which rails are slidably engaged.

Abstract: A rugged elastomeric infusion pump capable of storing sterile fluids under pressure for intravenous medical use within an elastomeric bladder, wherein said elastomeric bladder is surrounded by a rugged outer shell having a proximal and distal parts with respect to the elastomeric bladder, said distal part comprising one or more of a flow regulator, a modulator, and a flow meter for regulating, smoothing, and measuring the flow of fluids effused from the elastomeric bladder, wherein said rugged proximal parts are capable of absorbing impacts to minimize the force imparted to the elastomeric infusion pump.

Abstract: A rugged infusion device capable of exerting consistent pressure onto an IV bag for intravenous medical use, wherein said device and said IV bag are surrounded by a rugged outer shell having a proximal and distal parts with respect to the device, said distal part comprising one or more of a flow regulator, a modulator, and a flow meter for regulating, smoothing, and measuring the flow of fluids effused from the IV bag, wherein said rugged proximal parts are capable of absorbing impacts to minimize the force imparted to the rugged infusion device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to enhance or improve the sound localization properties of hearing aids determines the interaural level differences required for localizing sounds to a specific point of origin. These determined interaural level differences are then used in the adjusting and fitting of the hearing aids. A number of hearing tests at different frequencies with a sound source that apparently moves relative to the test subject are performed, and by adjusting the response of the hearing aid in the left ear relative to the right ear, for example by attenuating the left ear, the amount of attenuation or gain can be found that causes the test subject to perceive that the sound source is located at a specific point of origin. These determined interaural level differences are then used to design a new hearing aid or to modify the existing hearing aid.
