Patent number: 10556688Abstract: A latch assembly (110) can include a latch rail (314), a latch body (312), and a biasing mechanism (322). The latch rail can include a first end (318) and a second end. The first end can couple to a back portion of a seat that includes a table body. The latch body (312) can couple to the second end of the latch rail (314) such that the latch body can move between a first position and a second position relative to the latch rail. The latch body can prevent the table body from moving between a stowed position and a stowed position while in the first position. The latch body can allow the table body to move between the stowed position and the deployed position in the second position. The biasing mechanism (322) can couple to the latch body (312) and can bias the latch body into the first position.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Safran Seats USA LLCInventors: Vishwanath Bhat, Christopher M.

Publication number: 20180336528Abstract: A server is used to screen a job candidate. An indication is received that an interview interface has been activated by a client device. A first question of a plurality of questions stored in a memory of the server is sent to the client device for access by the job candidate via the interview interface. A first response to the first question is received from the client device, and the first response is evaluated in real-time using the server before sending a second question of the plurality of questions to the client device for access by the job candidate via the interview interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: November 22, 2018Inventors: Mark Carpenter, Carlos Portela

Publication number: 20160135593Abstract: A closet 100 fits into an attic. A raiseable panel (4275) forms the bottom of the closet. The raiseable panel can be lowered to the living space below manually or by using a return spring or electrical means. The raiseable panel holds a cabinet, box, or other storage item (105 or 2225). Air space (150) around the cabinet or items insulates it from thermal contact with the closet walls. Alternatively a cabinet is hung from a restraining member (145), or arm (1105), so it can be raised for storage and lowered for access. In this aspect, a bottom panel (110) is secured to the bottom of the cabinet. Optional vents (155) and fan (160) urge circulation between the air space and the living space, reducing temperature extremes in the air space and hence the cabinet. In other aspects, air treatment units (HVAC, dehumidifier, etc.) condition the air within the closet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2015Publication date: May 19, 2016Applicant: DeLorean, LLCInventors: Jack Z.

Publication number: 20140171880Abstract: A high flow volume nasal irrigation device includes a squeeze bottle, a reservoir of liquid and a volume of air. The bottle is configured to elastically deform in response to a manual pressure from a user and thus pressurize the liquid and air. The device also includes a dip tube configured to convey a pressurized liquid flow from a first end inside the bottle to a second outside end at a lower pressure. A removable nipple cap comprises an orifice and a coaxially aligned extension configured to seal with the dip tube and to form a conduit with the tube. At least one air metering orifice is formed in the fluid conduit accessible to the to volume of air. The air metering orifice is configured to introduce a plurality of air pockets from the air volume into the liquid flow and thus generate a pulsatile fluid flow in the conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2014Publication date: June 19, 2014Inventor: Mark Carpenter

Patent number: 8366681Abstract: A high flow volume nasal irrigation device for alternating pulsatile and continuous fluid flow includes a tube comprising a free end and a housing at a second end adjoined to a cap with a coaxial cap nipple. A valve assembly inside the housing comprises a disk-like valve and a plurality of housing standoffs configured to stop the valve but allow a fluid flow in the housing and out the nipple. A cylindrical elastic valve seat is adjoined to the cap nipple and forms a gap with the valve on the standoffs. A spring opposes the valve moving toward the valve seat from the standoffs and assists in returning the valve from the seat to the standoffs and thus with the valve seat creates a periodic pulsatile fluid flow in the nipple in response to a chamber pressure which exceeds a critical chamber pressure threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Inventor: Mark Carpenter

Patent number: 7976529Abstract: A high flow volume nasal irrigation device for alternating pulsatile and continuous fluid flow includes a segmented dip tube with a free end extending inside a squeeze bottle configured to convey a liquid under an elevated chamber pressure from a reservoir therein to a lower pressure outside the bottle. The device also includes an elastic segment at the free end of the tube configured to oscillate about a bending in the segment in response to a differential pressure between an internal pressure and the chamber pressure, the segment having an elastic restoring force in opposition to the bending. The disclosed device further includes a pulsatile portion of the elastic segment configured to close at the segment bending and to reopen under the elastic restoring force and to thus generate a periodic pulsatile fluid flow through the tube with a period corresponding to the elastic segment oscillation.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2010Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Skylab Developments Inc.Inventor: Mark Carpenter
