Publication number: 20160144879Abstract: A foldable stroller (1, 41) is provided with at least one pushrod (2, 3) being pivotable about a first pivot axis (9, 10). The folding mechanism is further provided with a number of rods, comprising a first rod (19, 20) being pivotable about a second pivot axis (17, 18). The first rod and the pushrod are provided with cooperating connecting elements (52, 56) being connectable to each other by pivoting the pushrod about the first pivot axis to an erect position of the pushrod, in which position the connecting elements are lockable to each other by locking means (57). When the locking means are unlocked and the connecting elements are still connected to each other, the connecting means prevent the first rod to pivot about the second pivot axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2014Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: GERJAN STORM, JOHN GERT TIL VAN DIJK, IMRE PETER JACOBS, ROBERT SJANG JOSINE VAN DIJK

Patent number: 9339216Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring or testing the hearing of a user using a portable unit include presenting a plurality of test frequencies for selection by a user and storing data about those frequencies, and the user's response to stimuli presented at those frequencies, and comparing the stored data to previously acquired hearing data. Using mathematical prediction algorithms, changes in baseline hearing values can be used to identify potential hearing issues, especially hearing issues associated with ototoxicity.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: The United States of America As Represented By The Department Of Veterans AffairsInventors: Stephen Fausti, Roger Ellingson, Wendy Helt, Peter Jacobs, Grayson Silaski, Debra Wilmington, Samuel Gordon, Marilyn Dille, Garnett McMillan, Kelly Reavis, Dawn Martin
