Abstract: A console assembly for a vehicle includes a compartment side wall. The compartment side wall extends from a compartment floor to an upper rim of the compartment side wall. The console assembly includes a receptacle side wall that extends upward from a receptacle floor of the console assembly to define a receptacle. The console assembly further includes a panel that has opposite first and second sides. The panel is pivotable between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the panel, the panel, the compartment side wall, and the compartment floor define a compartment of the console assembly, and the first side of the panel faces the compartment. In the second position, the panel covers the receptacle of the console assembly and a surface of the first side of the panel is substantially planar with a surface of the compartment floor.

Abstract: A reconfigurable cup holder assembly for a vehicle comprises: (i) a base structure, and (ii) a cup holder portion pivotably coupled to the base structure about a pivot axis, the cup holder portion comprising a first cup holder and a second cup holder, each of the first cup holder and the second cup holder defining a space configured to hold a container for liquid, and the cup holder portion is pivotable about the pivot axis to, from, and between a first position relative to the base structure and a second position relative to the base structure; wherein, the pivot axis extends through the space of the first cup holder. The second cup holder can pivot greater than or equal to 75 degrees about the pivot axis when the cup holder portion moves from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A center console for a vehicle includes a base. The base is coupled to the vehicle and includes a receptacle. The center console includes a body that is coupled to the base and that includes a shelf. The body is operable to move relative to the base between a retracted position, wherein the shelf covers the receptacle, and an extended position, wherein the receptacle is exposed.

Abstract: A diagnostic test kit that employs a lateral flow assay device and a plurality of assay reagents for detecting a test analyte within a test sample is disclosed. The assay reagents include detection probes that are capable of producing a detection signal representing the presence or quantity of the test analyte in the test sample. To further enhance detection accuracy, calibration probes are also used that are capable of producing a calibration signal representing the presence or quantity of a calibration analyte. The calibration signal may be utilized to calibrate the detection signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a personal care product including a wrapper having at least one free edge, an absorbent personal care article and a sensory cue providing indicia as to the location of the free edge. In one embodiment, the wrapper is a wrapper component and has a first panel, a back panel and a second panel, where the first panel is connected to the back panel and the second panel is connected to the back panel at an opposite end from where the first panel is connected to the back panel. The second panel having a free edge positioned adjacent the first panel, wherein the second panel has a first set of sensory attributes which terminate at the free edge of the second panel and the first panel has a second set of sensory attributes which are adjacent the free edge of the second panel. In the present invention, at least one attribute from the first set of sensory attributes or at least one attribute from the second set of attributes is different from attributes from the other set.

Abstract: A personal care product includes a personal care product component disposed in a packaging component. The packaging component includes a panel and a flap having a free edge positioned adjacent the panel. One of the flap and panel includes a sensory cue directed at the free edge of the flap. The sensory cue provides indicia as to the location of the free edge and terminates at the free edge. In one embodiment, the packaging component includes a front panel, a back panel and a flap overlying a portion of the front panel. In one embodiment, the sensory cue is configured as a visual cue. In another aspect, a method of using a personal care product includes locating the free edge of the packaging component using the visual cue and grasping the flap and opening the packaging component to access the personal care product component.
