Abstract: A folding chair can include a seat pan being formed by a pair of seat bars. The seat pan can be tensioned by a pair of vertical legs. The chair can also include a backrest formed by a pair of diagonally extending backrest bars, a front frame formed by a pair of cross bars, a rear frame formed by rear cross bars, and a pair of armrests. The vertical legs can each be provided with a lower leg and an upper leg. The inner leg can be configured to telescope out of the outer leg and at least one of the vertical legs can be provided with a latch for locking the outer leg to the inner leg. The latch can include a trigger and a projection can be configured to rotate the projection out of a slot formed in the inner leg.

Abstract: A compressible liner for a helmet or other apparatus subject to shock loading comprises three substantially co-extensive layers mutually engaged by respective cone-like protuberances and cone-like recesses. The intermediate layer is of a different compressibility and provides for de-coupling of the layers in an oblique impact.

Abstract: A blanket formed from multiple layers including a fabric layer on the top and a base layer on the bottom where the base layer may include a waterproof coating on at least one side. The blanket may also include an insulation layer and an adhesive scrim layer positioned between the fabric layer and the base layer. The layers of the blanket may be attached using a combination of stitching along with an adhesive to form a blanket that is waterproof and is secured together such that the fabric layer does not move relative to the base layer.

Abstract: A fertilizer application system for a liquid fertilizer concentrate includes a container containing a first fluid. A siphon is disposed on the container and includes two inlets and an outlet. A flow control valve is configured to selectively control an amount of first fluid flowing through the siphon based on ambient temperature of an environment outside the container. A siphon tube includes a siphon tube first portion in fluid communication with the first fluid, and a siphon tube second portion fluidly coupled to an inlet of the siphon. The first fluid includes a liquid fertilizer concentrate comprising a nitrogen containing source, a phosphorous containing source, a sulfur containing source, a potassium containing source, an iron containing source, and water.

Abstract: A method, device and system for limiting mobile device functionality in a geographic area. When a mobile device is located within a predetermined geographic area, the mobile device receives a disabling signal from a disabling device. A Device Owner Application on the mobile device responds to the disabling signal, restricting functionality of the mobile device. Such restrictions may include restricting the mobile device's ability to send and receive text messages and email messages; restricting the mobile device's ability to respond to user input; restricting the mobile device's ability to place and receive phone calls; restricting the mobile device's ability to place and receive phone calls requiring user interaction with the mobile device; restricting the mobile device's ability to utilize a web browser application; restricting the mobile device's web browser from accessing predetermined web sites; and any other predetermined restriction of mobile device functionality as may be desired.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating user interactions with a life safety system that includes an event panel controller configured to trigger, in response to information received from the one or more life safety system components, an emergency event and insert the triggered emergency event into a queue of active emergency events. The event panel controller is further configured to display an event indication corresponding to the triggered emergency event in an event indicator region of an emergency event graphical user interface (GUI). The event indication is displayed in one of a plurality of event elements of the event indicator region, wherein the one of the plurality of event elements of the event indicator region displays information of the triggered emergency event. Accordingly, each of the event elements remains visible to a user of the event panel controller during its use. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to system and method for effectively monitoring critical respiratory parameters including SpO2, PR, COHb, inspired CO2, expired CO2, respiration rate, respiration pattern, hyperventilation (hypocapnia), hypoventilation (hypercapnia), CO2 contamination, and CO2 rebreathing. The system according to the present invention comprises a pulse oximetry sensor and a CO2 sensor connected to a central portable unit. The central unit comprising a barometer, an accelerometer, a capnography circuit, and a control unit. The control unit including the method for effectively monitoring critical respiratory parameters.
