Publication number: 20250249804Abstract: A seat base for a child restraint includes a seat-base foundation adapted to rest on a vehicle seat. The seat-base foundation is formed to include a belt path configured to receive an attachment belt to secure the seat base to the vehicle seat. The seat base further includes a belt lock-off coupled to the seat-base foundation for pivotable movement relative to the seat-base foundation between an opened position and a closed position. In the opened position, the belt lock-off extends away from the belt path to allow placement of the attachment belt in the belt path. In the closed position, the belt lock-off overlies the belt path and clamps the attachment belt to the seat-base foundation within the belt path to block movement of the attachment belt and the seat base relative to the vehicle seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2025Publication date: August 7, 2025Inventors: William P.

Patent number: 12282368Abstract: A voltage regulator system of an information handling system includes a voltage regulator and a voltage regulator controller. The voltage regulator includes multiple power-stages (Pstages). The voltage regulator controller communicates with the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator controller monitors for a first fault signal on a first pin of a circuit associated with a first Pstage of the Pstages. In response to a first voltage of the first fault signal at the first pin being greater than a threshold voltage, the voltage regulator controller monitors a second pin of the circuit for a second fault signal and determines whether a voltage of the second fault signal at the second pin is equal to a second voltage. Based on the voltage of the second fault signal being equal to the second voltage, the voltage regulator controller determines a first fault has occurred in the first Pstage.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Inventors: Shiguo Luo, Ralph H.
