Abstract: A rear-view mirror and modular monitor system and method include an interior mirror that embeds a modular monitor behind see-through mirror glass. In some embodiments, the system includes multiple cameras, some in the vehicle, bus and/or truck, as well as some cameras outside the vehicle, bus and/or truck, advantageously providing the driver an opportunity to view what is happening, for example, in the back rows of the bus and/or cabin, while also using the mirror to look at objects in the bus and/or cabin that are visible using the mirror. The rear-view mirror and modular monitor system is configured to be easily assembled and/or disassembled when necessary for maintenance and/or to replace parts.

Abstract: A package having a resealable closure is disclosed and comprises a body, a frame, a door and apparatus. The body is a bag in which is disposed a product and has an inner surface defining the inner surface of said package. The frame defines an opening and has a surface attached to the inner surface of said package. The door has one edge connected to the frame for swinging movement of said door between a closed position, whereat the door occludes said opening to contain said product, and an open position, whereat the door is orientated to permit access to said product. The apparatus releasably secures the door in its closed position. The material forming the bag can overlie the door and be perforated to define a frangible portion of said material that call be removed or pulled away to permit operation of the door.

Abstract: Apparatus for thermally welding two layers together including; a first and second bar, wherein one of the bars presents a larger welding surface than the other bar; structure for reciprocally moving at least one of the bars relative to the other bar, in a first direction between an open position wherein the bars are disposed in spaced apart relationship so as to permit the insertion and withdrawal of said layers between the bars, and a closed position wherein at least one of said bars is adapted to apply heat and pressure to said layers for welding said layers together; and structure which reciprocally moves at least one of said bars relative the other bar in a second direction between two limit positions so as to present different portions of said bar having the larger welding surface for each successive weld of said layers to evenly utilize the entire welding surface of the larger welding surface over successive welds.
