Abstract: A cargo bed system of a vehicle includes a floor assembly of a cargo bed. The floor assembly is configured to transition back-and-forth between a standard position and an extended position. A step that moves with the floor assembly back-and-forth between the standard position and the extended position. The step is movable back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position.

Abstract: An airway adapter suitable for use with patients having low tidal volumes, e.g., neonates, which minimizes deadspace in the airway and promotes smooth flow of gases through the adapter. The adapter includes a first portion adapted to couple to a tubular adapter, such as an endotracheal tube adapter, and a second portion adapted to couple to a ventilation tube. A longitudinally compressible member is coupled to the first portion to minimize deadspace in the adapter. A portion of the compressible member resiliently contacts and seals against a tubular adapter upon assembly of the airway adapter therewith.

Abstract: A draught excluding strip comprises a resilient foam strip having two flat parallel faces and a securing strip attached to one flat face of the foam strip, the securing strip at least partially overlying the foam strip and projecting beyond the said one flat face along the proximate edge thereof. The strip has an adhesive layer covered with a release paper and the other flat face of the foam strip can be covered with a plastics film. In use the proximate edge is compressed to cause the distal edge of the foam strip to move away from the surface to which the strip is attached.
