Abstract: A shingled thin seat back for a vehicle having a generally centrally-located panel which is movable in the rearward direction when the seat is occupied and which is immovable in the forward direction when folded flat to accept a load. The seat back includes a support structure which provides support to the movable panel. The support structure includes at least one edge and the panel includes at least one edge. The panel is movable from a first position where the edge of the support structure and the edge of the panel are in overlapping contact (creating a shingled arrangement) to a second position where the edge of the support structure and the edge of the panel are not in contact with one another but instead are spaced apart from one another.

Abstract: A method for making a chemically inflatable gas bag using technical grade acetic acid, water, and sodium bicarbonate is provided. The method includes pouring diluted acetic acid into an HDPE bag, putting sodium bicarbonate into a PVA bag, sealing these bags, and placing these bags within a nylon/PE bag. The method further includes folding the gas bag in such a manner so that it easily inflates and completely seals the borehole.
