Abstract: An active seating apparatus having a seat, a post configured for selectively engaging and supporting the seat and having a lower end opposite the upper end and seat formed with a post locking feature, and a base having an upper wall and an upwardly-opening receiver formed in the upper wall configured for selective removable receipt of the lower end of the post, the receiver having a receiver locking feature configured for selective locking engagement with the post locking feature upon insertion of the post within the base in selectively and securely assembling the post on the base through engagement of the post and receiver locking features, the surface-to-surface locking engagement between the post locking feature and the receiver locking feature being no more than twenty percent of the overall surface-to-surface contact between the lower end of the post and the receiver of the base.

Abstract: A folding base is provided for supporting and optionally charging an object positioned thereon. The folding base transitions from a folded configuration, where a flap hinged to a main body is folded flat against the main body, so that an object support surface of the main body is in a substantially horizontal orientation, to a deployed configuration, where the flap remains horizontal and supports the main body in a tilted orientation. The object can be supported in both configurations due to the retractable object support that is retractable when in the folded configuration so that the object can lay flat on the object support surface without interference from the retractable object support and automatically extendable in the deployed configuration so that the object can lean on the object support surface with object resting on the retractable object support.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a charger and a charger system, a charger having a removeable cover, as well as particular charger and adapter engagement configurations that provide robust, operative, and resealable association between the charger and adapter. The present disclosure also provides users the ability to forego a fixed, factory-provided aesthetic appearance of their chargers by providing the ability to customize the charger in accordance with an end-user's own preference/style.

Abstract: An adaptive region system can include an adaptive region module and a display module. The adaptive region module can include a mini region button panel module capable of generating a mini region button panel having multiple mini region buttons, a view panel module capable of generating a view panel having multiple view buttons, and a region panel module capable of generating a region panel having multiple mini regions. The display module can visually display the mini region button panel, the view panel, and the region panel.

Abstract: A portable articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) is provided. The AACMM includes a manually positionable articulated arm having opposed first and second ends. The arm includes a plurality of connected arm segments, each of the arm segments including at least one position transducer for producing a position signal. A measurement device is attached to a first end of the AACMM. An electronic circuit is provided for receiving the position signals from the transducers and for providing data corresponding to a position of the measurement device. A light source is coupled to the arm and disposed to emit light adjacent the measurement device.

Abstract: Silicone rubber compositions for coating air bags, used for safety purposes to protect occupants of vehicles such as automobiles are described together with air bag fabrics coated with the composition and to air bags made from the coated fabric. The compositions are silicone rubber coating compositions which cure by hydrosilylation comprising an organopolysiloxane (A) having aliphatically unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy substituents, an organosilicon crosslinker having at least 3 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a catalyst able to promote the reaction of the aliphatically unsaturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy substituents with Si—H groups and a silica reinforcing filler, wherein the silica filler is pre-treated with 2% to 60% by weight based on the weight of the silica filler of an oligomeric organopolysiloxane containing Si-bonded methyl and vinyl groups and silanol end groups.

Abstract: A portable coordinate measurement machine (CMM) is disclosed. The CMM may include a manually positionable articulated arm having opposed first and second ends and a measurement probe attached to the first end articulated arm. The arm may include a plurality of jointed arm segments. Each arm segment may include at least one position transducer for producing a position signal. The CMM may also include an electronic circuit that receives the position signals from the transducers and provides a digital coordinate corresponding to the position of the probe in a selected volume. At least one of the arm segments may be non-linear along its length.

Abstract: A rotary valve unit is provided for blending fluid sources to regulate a temperature of fluid flowing to a heat exchange device in an extracorporeal blood perfusion circuit. A valve body includes a valve chamber having a first inlet port, a second inlet port, a first outlet port, and a second outlet port. A wedged-shaped rotary valve is disposed within the valve chamber and is rotatable within the valve chamber for controlling a blending of the cold fluid entering the fluid chamber from the first inlet port and the return fluid entering the fluid chamber from the second inlet port to regulate the desired temperature of fluid provided to the heat exchanger. The wedge-shaped rotary valve is positionable to provide either only cold fluid to the first outlet port, only return fluid to the first outlet port, or blending of the cold fluid and return fluid to the first outlet port.
