Abstract: A method and an apparatus/assembly provides enhanced protection to a baby in a child safety car seat. A bullet-proof child seat apparatus (BCSA) having a central segment that includes a seat portion and a backrest portion with a shapeable and adjustable headrest is constructed using bullet-proof covering that includes a protective blanket. Adjacent to the central segment are shapeable first and second side segments, each having a collar portion at an upper end and a side panel portion extending downward and away from the collar portion. The BCSA protects a baby fastened in place within the central segment by an enclosing bullet-proof blanket moldable around a baby’s face, an outer bullet-proof material and/or a structure/chassis having a bullet-proof composition.

Abstract: This invention offers a fully protective cowl neck garment with various fasteners designed to attach additional protective gear, such as gloves and shoe coverings. Additionally, a temperature sensor shield is located on the hat and protective mask. This allows the clients or patients the ability to see and to monitor the temperature of their caregivers. The caregiver’s temperature is visible on the hat, as well as the face mask. This makes the caregivers accountable to their clients or patients, as well as their colleagues and coworkers. This invention eliminates the worry of contact with infectious diseases or dangerous liquids, by utilizing elastic manual ties and hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure the garment is secured fully on a user’s body. Overall, this invention ensures medical professionals, firemen, emergency medical personnel, government workers, and so forth, are protected fully from contagious and infectious diseases, liquids, and so forth.

Abstract: A deterministic and jitter-free dual chamber brady pacemaker utilizes both a programmed microprocessor and a hardware state machine, both of which are coupled to a real time clock (RTC), random access memory (RAM) and a common escape interval timer. Time of occurrence (TOC) data representative of the time and nature of atrial and ventricular sensed events and pacing events is stored in the RAM. Escape interval periods are timed by the escape interval timer. The microprocessor is operable in both an active mode and an inactive mode without interrupts. In response to the receipt of wakeup commands, the microprocessor operates in the active mode and uses the TOC data from the RAM to reset the escape interval timer to a desired next event interval. The hardware state machine uses the common escape interval timer for timing timeout events and atrial and ventricular sensed events such that pacing pulses are delivered in a determinate manner.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and reagents for determining amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a biological fluid, such as urine. In particular, this disclosure relates to improvements in a fluorescence polarization immunoassay procedure for determining the presence of amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a single assay and to a novel class of tracer compounds employed as reagents in such procedures. The procedure described includes pretreatment of the biological sample to eliminate cross reactants such as .beta.-hydroxyphenethylamine by preincubating the sample solely with an aqueous periodate solution having a pH from about 4.0 to about 7.5 without adjustment to an alkaline pH, and contacting the sample with riboflavin binding protein to reduce interference from fluorescent components in the sample. The procedure also maintains the cross reactivity of the immunoassay for tyramine at about 0.4% and for 1-methamphetamine below about 5.
