Abstract: A snowboard assembly includes a snowboard and a suspension system operable to absorb shock and vibration that are generated during use of the assembly. The snowboard is a typical snowboard and the suspension system comprises a suspension platform and two or more struts. Each strut is coupled with the snowboard and the suspension platform via two couplings. In a preferred embodiment, a single strut with two couplings are used to couple the suspension platform with the snowboard.

Abstract: Eyewear having a lens retraction system allows the user to maintain the eyewear on their head without having to move the frames from their ordinary wearing position, yet allows the lenses to be selectively moved from an in use position to a stowed position away from the user's eyes. The retraction mechanism is configured into the side frames of the eyewear and allows the lens assemblies to be slidably or pivotally moved into the stowed position on the side of the wearer's head.

Abstract: The present invention is generally concerned with a breakaway door panel system comprising an impact resistant panel pivotally assembled to a pair of connecting members mountable to a door adjacent a first end and a second end of the panel respectively, and at least one impact releasable panel locking device comprising a first compliant holding element mounted at an end of the panel, a second complementary compliant holding element mounted to one of the connecting member adjacent the panel end, and a connecting bar releasably connecting the first holding element to the second holding element, whereby, when an impact force of at least a predetermined strength in applied to the panel, the bars are extracted from at least one of their respective holding elements, leaving the panel break away from the door, pivoting in the direction of the impact force.

Abstract: A gasket holder mountable to a printed circuit board and configured to isolate a conductive gasket from live electronic components and maintain the conductive gasket in an upright position under compressive pressure. The holder comprises four vertically extending walls with adjacent walls at right angles to one another. The gasket holder further including a mounting tab extending laterally from the base of one of the four walls.
