  • Publication number: 20180264157
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating air includes a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, the housing enclosing an air treatment zone and an ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone removal zone is positioned downstream of the air treatment zone with respect to a flow direction of the air being treated, an ozone generator in the air treatment zone configured to generate ozone from the air, wherein the ozone generated by the ozone generator treats the air in the air treatment zone, catalyst in the ozone removal zone that removes at least a portion of the ozone generated the ozone generator, a particle matter (PM) filter positioned between the air treatment zone and the ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone generated by the ozone generator treats the PM filter, and an air mover positioned near the air outlet configured to draw the air through the air inlet.

  • Publication number: 20170246333
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating air includes a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, the housing enclosing an air treatment zone and an ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone removal zone is positioned downstream of the air treatment zone with respect to a flow direction of the air being treated, an ultraviolet (UV) light source in the air treatment zone configured to generate ozone from the air, wherein the UV light from the UV light source and the ozone generated by the UV light source treat the air in the air treatment zone, catalyst in the ozone removal zone that removes at least a portion of the ozone generated by the UV light source, and an air mover positioned near the air outlet configured to draw the air through the air inlet into the air treatment zone from outside the housing.

  • Publication number: 20170205135
    Abstract: A refrigerator door hinge bracket mechanism (40) has a door mounting assembly (45) and a base mounting assembly (46). The door mounting assembly includes a hinge mounting plate (49). The base mounting assembly includes an adjustment mechanism (52) which has a U-shaped adjustment plate (50) coupled to the hinge mounting plate, a threaded lower adjustment bar (55) with a threaded lower adjustment block (56) and which has a top camming surface (58), a threaded upper adjustment bar (60) with a threaded upper adjustment block (61) which has a lower cam following surface (63) configured to mate with camming surface. The upper adjustment block includes opening (64) therethrough which aligns with an opening (65) extending through adjustment plate and a hole (66) in the hinge mounting plate. A threaded bolt (67) passes through the three holes to mount the adjustment mechanism to the hinge mounting plate with adjustable movement therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7611199
    Abstract: A seat for use by an occupant in a vehicle. The seat includes a seat base configured to be supported in the vehicle. A back frame including a first transverse member, a first side member and a second side member, wherein the first transverse member interconnects each of the side members at a location toward an upper end of the back frame. The back frame further includes a second transverse member interconnecting the first and second side members a spaced distance from the first transverse member. A compliant back member having a first end operably connected to the first transverse member and a second end operably connected to the second transverse member. A biasing member having a first end operatively engaging the compliant back member and a second end being anchored with respect to the back frame wherein when a seat occupant's back applies a force to the compliant back member, the biasing member applies a reaction force.
