Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the present invention is directed to improvements to molded fiber products. A first sealant layer can be applied to a prepressed biodegradable molded fiber or to biodegradable molded fiber which has not been prepressed. After the sealant layer has been applied, a heat press process is applied. A biodegradable paint can be applied to the first sealant layer. A sealer or binder can be mixed with paint before it is applied to the first sealant layer. A second sealant layer can be applied to the paint layer. Any binder mixed with the paint, as well as the first and second sealant layers respectively can comprise a natural, synthetic, oil based, or biodegradable polymer sealant, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the first sealant layer, the paint layer, and the second sealant layer add less than 10% of total non-biodegradable weight to the total weight of the molded fiber product.

Abstract: An adjustable handle assembly for adjusting height and/or rotational position of the handles on a stroller wherein the stroller has two vertical posts. The adjustable handle assembly includes predetermined internal grooves on the inner surface of the handle corresponding to the holes along the post and combination spring pins which protrude from holes along the post such that the pin engages with the holes when the pin encounters a corresponding hole in the handle. When slightly compressed the pin will travel along the internal grooves inside the handle. In an alternative embodiment the adjustable handle assembly includes a connector for vertical and/or rotational adjustment of the handle about a vertical post.

Abstract: We provide a device for combining tomographic images with human vision using a partially transparent display to merge the visual outer surface of an object with a simultaneous tomographic image from the interior of the object. The device may be used with various types of image modalities including ultrasound, CT, and MRI. The image captured device and the display may or may not be fixed to each other. If not fixed, the imaging device may provide a compensation device that adjusts the image on the partially transparent display to account for any change in the image capture device orientation or location. Methods for using such a device are also provided.
