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: 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 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: An anti-closure device for use with a self-folding seat, including a seat portion and a tensioning system. The seat portion includes a first anchor that is adapted to be removably coupled to a seat of a self-folding seat, a second anchor that affixes to the seatback of the self folding seat or the seat portion of the adjacent seat, and the tensioning system is attached at a first end to the first anchor and at a second end to the second anchor. When installed on a self-folding seat, the tensioning system maintains force against a natural bias of the seat of the self-folding seat to fold closed, thereby holding the seat in an open state.

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.
