Abstract: A load leg adapted for a child safety seat includes a first telescoping member, a second telescoping member, a third telescoping member, a first engaging assembly, a second engaging assembly, and an operating member. The first engaging assembly is movably disposed on the first telescoping member for engaging with or disengaging from the second telescoping member. The second engaging assembly is movably disposed on the second telescoping member for engaging with or disengaging from the third telescoping member. The operating member is for driving the first engaging assembly and the second engaging assembly simultaneously to allow relative sliding movement of the first telescoping member and the second telescoping member and relative sliding movement of the second telescoping member and the third telescoping member at the same time, which provides a convenient way to extend the load leg between the child safety seat and a floor of a vehicle.

Abstract: A backcombing brush for backcombing hair includes an array of bristles 4. Each bristle extends from a base to a free end and two lengths of bristle are provided. Shorter bristles 4a and the bottom of longer bristles 4b carry out backcombing, whilst the longer bristles smooth hair, or untangle knots/tangles in the hair to reduce the level of backcombing. The long bristles have a relatively wide first portion 5, towards the base of the bristle, and a relatively narrow second portion 6, towards the free end of the bristle. The bristles are arranged such that bristles in one row neither extend between adjacent bristles in an adjacent row nor partially occlude the space between bristles in an adjacent row.

Abstract: The absorbent article includes a topsheet having a body contacting surface, a backsheet joined to said topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core has a first absorbent core having a first area and a second area, wherein the first absorbent core and the second absorbent core are vertically arranged, wherein the second absorbent core at least partially covers the second area of the first absorbent core, and wherein the first absorbent core and the second absorbent core have different compositions.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to selecting an image histogram compression end point pair based on a target color space range. Examples disclosed herein may select a histogram compression end point pair from a list of histogram compression end point pairs related to a target color space range where the selection is based on the results of the application of the histogram compression end point pair to the pixels within the input image with color values within a reduced color space determined based on the target color space range. The processor may apply the selected histogram compression end point pair to the input image to histogram compress the input image.

Abstract: A foundation for a bed system can include a foundation structure having a head, a foot, a first side, and a second side. An air pump configured for supplying air to and inflating at least one mattress air chamber can be housed within the foundation structure proximate the foot of the foundation structure. A control box and a central power hub can be housed within the foundation structure. The central power hub can be electrically connected to and configured to deliver electrical power to each of the air pump, the control box, and one or more additional electrical components. The foundation can optionally integrate other components into the foundation.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing group theoretic techniques to enable data exchange between a supervisory central processing unit (CPU) and a group of graphical processing units (GPUs). The CPU may be configured to utilize a tabu search metaheuristic to explore a solution space to determine an optimal solution to an optimization problem. More specifically, the CPU may determine a fragmentation of a solution space that yields multiple partitions of the solution space and may assign each partition to a respective GPU configured to calculate a computational result. The CPU may then determine a new fragmentation of the solution space based on the computational results received from the GPUs that yields new partitions of the solution space and may assign each new partition to a respective GPU configured to again generate a computational result based on its assigned new partition.

Abstract: The absorbent article includes a topsheet having a body contacting surface, a backsheet joined to said topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core has a first absorbent core comprising a first area and a second area, wherein the first absorbent core and the second absorbent core are vertically arranged, wherein the second absorbent core at least partially covers the second area of the first absorbent core, and wherein the first absorbent core and the second absorbent core are different from each other at least in composition, density or absorption capacity thereof.

Abstract: A system receives a user identifier and a link identifier to identify a machine-readable link in an image captured by a first device. In response to determining that the user identifier indicates a user having an administrative privilege with respect to the machine-readable link, the system sends, to the first device, a response containing information to allow performance of management with respect to the machine-readable link.

Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat body, a headrest, a headrest adjusting mechanism, and a harness component. A seat space is defined on the seat body. The headrest is movably disposed on a front side of the seat body facing the seat space. The headrest adjusting mechanism is for allowing the headrest to move relative to the seat body or restraining the headrest from moving relative to the seat body. The harness component includes a first part and a second part. The first part at least partially is received between the headrest adjusting mechanism and the seat body. The second part is connected to the first part and exposed out of the headrest toward the seat space.

Abstract: A clamp for sanitary fittings includes a clamp body formed of a first arcuate member and a second arcuate member movable about a hinge assembly from an open configuration to a closed, latched configuration. The hinge assembly detachably couples the first arcuate member to the second arcuate member. The hinge assembly includes an arcuate finger extending from an end of the first arcuate member, a pin-receiving recess formed within the arcuate finger, and a post formed on an end of the second arcuate member. Upon assembly, the arcuate finger cradles around the post and the post fits within the pin-receiving recess.

Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat shell for receiving a child and having a backrest and a front end opposite to the backrest, an extension member connected with the seat shell, and a latching mechanism. The extension member is positionable in a first configuration where the extension member rises upward at the front end of the seat shell, and in a second configuration where the extension member stretches forward and downward from the front end of the seat shell. The latching mechanism is operable to lock the extension member with respect to the seat shell in any of the first and second configurations.

Abstract: A child restraint seat includes a seat unit, a locking mechanism and a releasing handle. The locking mechanism is disposed on the seat unit and adapted to fix the seat unit onto a first external structural unit. The locking mechanism includes a latch base disposed on the seat unit, a first latching component movably disposed on the latch base, and a lock releasing component connected to the first latching component. The first latching component is adapted to move relative to a first constraining component of the first external structural unit for switching between a closed position and an open position. The releasing handle is disposed on the seat unit and connected to the lock releasing component, the releasing handle is utilized to drive the lock releasing component to move the first latching component from the closed position to the open position.
