  • Publication number: 20250178494
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system that absorbs energy in a collision and reduces crash forces. The system comprises a load leg positioned to abut against a floor of a vehicle; a support component configured to engage with corresponding coupling components of a child safety seat to secure the child safety seat to a selected vehicle seat and restrict displacement movements therebetween when a collision occurs; and an energy absorption assembly configured to connect the load leg and the support component and absorb crash energy during the collision by at least limiting or eliminating downward motions of a child occupant in the child safety seat.

  • Publication number: 20250135967
    Abstract: A child seat configured to be secured to a car seat is provided. The child seat includes a base and a tensioning mechanism. The base includes a belt path configured to receive a belt. The tensioning mechanism is pivotably attached to the base. The tensioning mechanism is adjustable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the tensioning mechanism is disposed adjacent to a portion of the belt. In the second configuration, the tensioning mechanism applies tension to the portion of the belt.

  • Publication number: 20220277840
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for measuring health care provider performance and optimizing provision of health care services are provided. A method may include identifying potential chronic conditions a patient has based on a chronic conditions mapping. The method may also comprise determining a cost score. The method may further comprise determining an outcome score. The method may additionally comprise obtaining a final outcome score for each of a plurality of providers based on a variance weighted average of probabilities for groups of metrics pertaining to each provider. The method additionally include generating a final quality index based upon the final outcome score for each provider.

  • Publication number: 20200378822
    Abstract: A system for monitoring loading of equipment includes a transmitter assembly mounted to the equipment and a central server. The transmitter assembly has a strain gauge secured to the equipment, an on-board controller and a battery. The central server is in communication with the on-board controller. The central server is configured to receive collected loading data from the transmitter assembly. The on-board controller is configured to operate the transmitter assembly in a load monitoring power mode and a deep sleep mode. The on-board controller is configured to operate at a sleep interval when a load measured by the strain gauge is less than ten percent of a rated working load of the equipment and at an active interval when the load measured by the strain gauge is greater than ten percent of the rated working load. The sleep interval is less than the active interval.

  • Publication number: 20050111231
    Abstract: A light controller capable of varying the brightness of a light emitting diode in a linear manner. The light controller may control a number of lights in a predetermined pattern or in a pattern designed by the user. A remote control may be used to control and interact with the light controller. The light controller may have inputs for audio signals, tachometer signals, or other external signals. The light controller may be coupled to other light controllers to enable the control of additional lights in a synchronized manner. The light controller may be particularly well suited to controlling light emitting diodes and controlling lights in a vehicle accent lighting application, although many other uses may be apparent.
