Abstract: A seat assembly includes a seat portion having a frame assembly. A routing mechanism includes a plate member that is operably coupled to the frame assembly. The plate member includes a first portion having first and second raised portions spaced-apart from one another to define a channel therebetween. The routing mechanism further includes a connection assembly having upper and lower tabs spaced-apart from one another with a routing column assembly interconnecting the upper and lower tabs. A tether member includes a body portion that is routed through the routing mechanism, in that the body portion of the tether member is received in the channel of the routing mechanism and is wrapped around the routing column assembly and directed in forward direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring automatic playback settings on a media playback device. A graphical user interface displays automatic playback settings and receives selections of customized settings for automatic playback. The settings can include context granularity for automatic playback, limiting autoplay to when the media playback device is connected to a wireless network, and activating an audible notification when automatic playback of media content is beginning. An initial queue of media content is selected for playback on the media playback device. The system ascertains whether autoplay is enabled for a particular situation. If autoplay is enabled, the system automatically generates a queue of media that is related to the initial queue and initiates playback on the media playback device after the initial queue concludes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling playback of media content items on a media playback device. A graphical user interface displays media playback controls including an automatic playback switch. The switch is configured to enable or disable automatic playback of an autoplay queue of media content items. An initial queue of media content is selected for playback on the media playback device. When automatic playback is enabled, the system automatically generates a queue of media that is related to the initial queue and initiates playback on the media playback device after the initial queue concludes. Automatic playback options can also include repeating the initial queue or a single track within the initial queue.

Abstract: Processes are disclosed for forming beryllium-copper metal rings having a fine and uniform grain structure. A raw BeCu casting is pre-forged and turned to form a BeCu billet. The BeCu billet is subjected to various heat treatment and cooling cycles to obtain/maintain combinations of advantageous material properties. Generally, the BeCu billet is preheated, hot worked via forging, heated again, hot worked again via ring rolling followed by air cooling, solution annealed followed by quenching, and heated a final time followed by air cooling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for use in an assay comprising: (a) at least one first receptacle comprising a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, (b) a porous membrane, and (c) at least one analyte-specific binding agent, characterised in that said at least one analyte-specific binding agent is immobilised on the underside of said porous membrane relative to the fluid inlet; and to methods of performing said assay.

Abstract: A support belt, particularly adapted for weight lifting users, includes a strap mounted to the main belt. A ratchet mechanism is mounted to one end of the strap. The other end of the strap is inserted through the ratchet mechanism and folded upon itself and secured to itself to form an anchor location. Another anchor location is a portion of the strap which is permanently secured to the belt. When the ratchet mechanism is operated the first end of the strap becomes wound on a take up reel in the ratchet mechanism to pull the two anchor locations toward each other and tighten the belt. In order to have a quick release of the belt the free end of the strap is detached from its engagement to itself so that its anchor location is thereby disengaged.

Abstract: In a biological film module for wastewater treatment system, a frame for supporting porous biological-growth support media is provided with at least one pontoon float. Also disposed on the frame is an aerator in the form of a removable diffused aeration grid including a plurality of individual diffusers disposed in a rectangular planar array.
