Abstract: A circuit board includes at least one mounting position for a surface mounted component, wherein the surface mounted component is a bottom terminated component, wherein the mounting position comprises a central solder pad and multiple solder contacts which are arranged along at least two lines parallel to at least two edges of the central solder pad. The central solder pad comprises at least one trench, wherein the trench extends into a first corner of the at least two edges of the central solder pad.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically predicting the probability of regulatory compliance approval based on data contained in a data structure. A data structure can be configured to include data collated and collected from one or more regulators (e.g., regulatory agencies) and one or more value chain participants. Such data is inclusive of data indicative of actual approval-request results of applications for regulatory approval by one or more regulators and variable weights assigned to different data elements. A prediction can be then made as to the probability that an application for regulatory approval by a value chain participant will be approved by a regulator based on the data collated and collected and contained in the data structure. This approach predicts the probability that an application for regulatory approval by a value chain participant will be approved and also predicts what is missing for a regulatory approval application.

Abstract: A system. The system includes one or more self-sealing panels and a cap member. The one or more self-sealing panels substantially cover an exterior surface of a liquid container. The cap member covers at least one of the following: one or more portions of the exterior surface of the liquid container; and an exterior surface of at least one of the one or more self-sealing panels.

Abstract: A load control device comprises a frame defining a first anchor slot configured to receive a first restraint member, and a second anchor slot configured to receive a second restraint member. At least a portion of the frame yields under a load between the first and second anchor slots that is in excess of a predetermined load.

Abstract: A vehicle safety restraint system comprises a portable base having a mounting assembly and a restraint assembly. The portable base may be a booster seat. The mounting assembly mounts the base to the seat of a vehicle and the restraint assembly restrains an occupant of the base. The mounting assembly may wrap around at least a portion of the vehicle seat to mount the booster seat to the vehicle. The restraint assembly may comprise a five-point or a four-point restraint and may include a lateral support assembly. The restraint assembly may further include a torso support assembly. A method of mounting a portable base to a vehicle seat is provided.

Abstract: A portable and concealable chair and backpack apparatus includes a frame, a frame cover, a backpack attached to the frame cover, a seat, and a concealment cover. The apparatus also includes shoulder straps attached to the frame cover for use in transporting the apparatus. The concealment cover includes a cover frame and a cover supported by the cover frame so as to substantially surround and cover a user seated on the seat. The cover frame includes a plurality of support ribs which support the cover even in strong wind conditions. The number and shape of ribs used will vary the shape and volume of the enclosed area. The cover is formed of 3-D camouflage and includes at least one opening for unobstructed viewing and shooting therethrough.

Abstract: A foldable chair that includes shoulder straps for transporting the chair, pockets of various sizes and shapes for storage of hunting gear and a thick seat cushion for improved comfort is disclosed. The seat cushion is made of thick, dense foam for improved comfort and includes a strap on the bottom edge to attach the seat cushion to the backpack when the cushion is not being used as a seat. The present invention further includes a pivotable frame capable of forming an angled structure when self-support is desired and capable of pivoting into a flat frame for resting against a tree or other vertical support when desired. The invention also includes a cover, mesh or otherwise, surrounding the frame that acts as a back support while the chair is in-use.

Abstract: A dental floss holder including a pair of arms capable of holding dental floss material therebetween, an illumination device and a switch. The illumination device is capable to acquire either one of an active mode and an inactive mode, in the active mode the illumination device generating light for emission from the dental floss holder. The switch selectively causes the illumination device to switch between the active mode and the inactive mode.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for coating a substrate in order to provide a component formed by the substrate with a desired aesthetic apperance. The method eliminates production steps, reduces production time and reduces production costs compared to known coating processes. This method comprises the steps of washing a substrate with a cleaning agent, rinsing said cleaning agent from the substrate and pouring or showering a waterborne adhesion promoter over the substrate. The method also includes the steps of heat flashing the substrate carrying the adhesion promoter, applying a base coat after the heat flash step has been completed and applying a decorative coating layer onto the substrate after the base coat has been applied. The method can also include the steps of applying a clear cover coat over the decorative coating layer and curing the clear cover coat to the substrate.
