Abstract: A child safety seat includes an outer shell, an adjustable headrest, and an impact protection module. The adjustable headrest is moveable with respect to the outer shell between a first position and a second position. The impact protection module is coupled to the adjustable headrest such that the IPM moves in coordination with the adjustable headrest.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system that absorbs energy in a collision and reduces crash forces. The system comprises a load leg positioned to abut against a floor of a vehicle; a support component configured to engage with corresponding coupling components of a child safety seat to secure the child safety seat to a selected vehicle seat and restrict displacement movements therebetween when a collision occurs; and an energy absorption assembly configured to connect the load leg and the support component and absorb crash energy during the collision by at least limiting or eliminating downward motions of a child occupant in the child safety seat.

Abstract: Example systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed herein for a child car seat system implementing an ellipsoidal path. A child car seat system includes a base, a child seat, and an ellipsoidal path system. The ellipsoidal path system includes at least a track member, affixed to the base, and a carriage, affixed to the child seat. The carriage is configured to translate and rotate relative to the track member.

Abstract: A child seat configured to be secured to a car seat is provided. The child seat includes a base and a tensioning mechanism. The base includes a belt path configured to receive a belt. The tensioning mechanism is pivotably attached to the base. The tensioning mechanism is adjustable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the tensioning mechanism is disposed adjacent to a portion of the belt. In the second configuration, the tensioning mechanism applies tension to the portion of the belt.

Abstract: A child safety seat may include a base configured to be operably coupled to a vehicle seat, a seat shell configured to receive and secure a child therein, and a multi-functional energy absorber. The seat shell may be operably coupled to the base such that the seat shell is alternately movable between a plurality of positions relative to the base responsive to operation of a seat positioner assembly, and lockable in the plurality of positions relative to the base responsive to operation of a locking assembly. The multi-functional energy absorber may be disposed between the base and the seat shell. The multi-functional energy absorber may be an integral portion of both the seat positioner assembly and the locking assembly.

Abstract: A stent is formed from an at least partially cylindrical non-bioresorbable framework with a longitudinal zone of the stent that extends from the proximal end of the framework to the distal end and is defined by opposing longitudinal edges. A plurality of bioresorbable struts are secured to opposing longitudinal edges of the longitudinal zone. The bioresorbable struts hold the opposing longitudinal edges a first distance apart at an expanded deployed diameter to apposition the framework against a wall defining the vessel. After the stent is endothelialized, degradation of the bioresorbable struts causes the stent to contract to a reduced deployed diameter so that the opposing longitudinal edges are a second distance apart that is less than the first distance.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a rewrapping tool (20) for returning a balloon of a dilatation catheter to a wrapped profile following inflation. The tool includes a body (22) extending along a longitudinal axis L-L defining a first lumen (24) and a channel (28) communicating along the length of the first lumen. The channel is to be slid over a catheter shaft of the dilatation catheter at a position proximal to the balloon so that the catheter shaft is coaxial with the first lumen and the catheter shaft may be pulled in a proximal direction so that the balloon is drawn through the first lumen to return the balloon to a wrapped profile.
