Abstract: A hat capable of forced air cooling comprises a shell and a liner between which an air passage is formed. A fan forces air through the air passage, the air having been cooled by a phase change material carried on the hat. The liner can have grooves that channel the cooled air above and around the top of the person's head to ventilation vents at the front of the hat. The hat can have a solar cell for charging a battery and a temperature controller that manages operation of the fan.

Abstract: Furniture seats have forward, rearward and intermediate horizontal support conduits extending parallel with respect to one another in a lengthwise direction of the seat. The forward and rearward horizontal support conduits include a plurality of blind holes, while the intermediate horizontal support conduit includes plural pairs of through holes. A number of generally L-shaped one-piece decking support conduits have their forward and rearward ends inserted into respective ones of the blind holes of the forward and rearward horizontal support conduits. A region between such forward and rearward ends is inserted into a respective pair of through holes of the intermediate horizontal support conduit so that the horizontal support conduit is sleeved thereover. A plurality of parallel decking structures (preferably smaller-diameter conduits) are attached to said L-shaped decking support conduits so as to form a surface to support a person in a seated position.

Abstract: A device for releasably holding an object, particularly a prosthetic heart valve, comprising a handle member integral with a key member which releasably engages a holder member having an interacting engaging screw which controls and limits the movement of integral cooperating fingers for holding and releasing said object; and a package assembly for storing under sterile conditions a holder member of said device attached to a prosthetic heart valve comprising a clam shell mechanism for releasably holding said holder member and valve.
