Publication number: 20070075575Abstract: A car seat alarm has an on/off switch that is initiated by clicking the latch on the car seat. (“Pumpkin” or removable carrier infant seats may use a two-part switch.) Initiating the circuit when clicking the child into the seat would conserve battery life. The device would be off when the seat is unlocked. Additionally, if an occasion arose where a parent or caregiver were sitting in the vehicle with a child and needed to have the engine off, that parent or caregiver would simply need to unclick or unlock the child car seat restraint to deactivate the device. A learning or programmable chip can be programmed to the same frequency as the panic button on the key fob. This may be done by pressing the panic button on the key fob in close proximity to the learning circuit on the seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Inventors: William Gregory, Cynthia Crider, Joseph Gregory, Amanda Johnson

Publication number: 20050192202Abstract: The invention is concerned with improvements relating to fabric care and in particular to means by which the apparent ageing of clothes can be reduced or retarded. Colour loss during laundering, as opposed to during wear, is a significant source of colour loss. We have determined that this problem may be overcome by use of a lubricant during the laundering process, to prevent the visible appearance of local colour loss through mechanical damage by the laundering process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2001Publication date: September 1, 2005Inventors: Jule Felton, Amanda Johnson, Christopher Jones, John Oakes
