  • Publication number: 20170174119
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a truck bed side panel, a docking plate, an E-track, and a clamp. The truck bed side panel has a top surface, a side surface, and an overhang extending from the top surface. The docking plate is secured to the side surface and defines a keyway. A keyed protuberance extends from the E-track. The keyed protuberance engages the keyway and secures the E-track to the docking plate. The clamp extends from the E-track and engages the overhang to secure the E-track to the side panel.

  • Publication number: 20170113595
    Abstract: A ratchet assembly for a vehicle bed includes a ratchet mechanism having a ratchet frame and an interface anchor. An operable strap extends and retracts from the ratchet mechanism. An interface plate having a securing recess is disposed within a vehicle-bed sidewall that selectively receives the interface anchor. An interface bracket extends from at least one sidewall and selectively engages the interface anchor to couple the ratchet mechanism with the interface bracket. The interface bracket includes a rotating mechanism operable between an engaged position and a secured position. When the interface bracket is in the engaged position in the interface plate, the rotating mechanism is free of engagement with a securing recess and the interface bracket is operable within the interface plate. When the interface bracket is in the secured position in the interface plate, the interface bracket is free of movement within the interface plate.

  • Patent number: 9608949
    Abstract: A user can share (show) multimedia information while simultaneously communicating (telling) with one or more other users over a network. Multimedia information is received from at least one source. The multimedia information may be manually and/or automatically annotated and shared with other users. The multimedia information may be displayed in an integrated live view simultaneously with other modes of communication, such as video, voice, or text. A simultaneous sharing communication interface provides an immersive experience that lets a user communicate via text, voice, video, sounds, music, or the like, with one or more other users while also simultaneously sharing media such as photos, videos, movies, images, graphics, illustrations, animations, presentations, narratives, music, sounds, applications, files, and the like. The simultaneous sharing interface enables a user to experience a higher level of intimacy in their communication with others over a network.

  • Patent number: 9575061
    Abstract: The present invention provides simple and inexpensive assays for the detection of virtually any analyte in any sample that is in liquid form or that can be solubilized. The assays utilize the fluid dynamics of drop evaporation whereby soluble materials, including analytes and particles binding thereto, are drawn to the edge of the drop and ultimately form a concentrated residual ring. The presence or absence of certain reagents can then be detected through a number of different approaches.
