  • Publication number: 20120161486
    Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a base portion, a support bracket, a seatback frame and a cushion frame. The support bracket is pivotally coupled to the base portion about a first axis. The seatback frame is pivotally coupled to the support bracket about a second axis that is spaced apart from the first axis. The cushion frame is pivotally coupled to the support bracket about a third axis that is spaced apart from both the first and second axes, such that the seatback frame and the cushion frame move with the support bracket relative to the base portion when the support bracket pivots about the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20120128715
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that agonists of TLR8 are uniquely efficacious in enhancing (e.g. inducing) the immune response of newborns. Thus, agonists of TLR8 serve as both vaccine adjuvants and as adjunctive therapies for acute infection in newborns, preferably the agonist is a TLR8-selective agonist. The immune response induced, or enhanced, in the neonatal host can be, for example, a cytokine immune response and/or a humoral immune response (e.g., antigen-specific).

  • Publication number: 20120076930
    Abstract: This invention relates to a stable, highly visible, multiple use, chemiluminescent composition of matter and aerosol system capable of articulating, communicating, displaying or marking, night-time chemiluminescent messages, in the form of written text, numerics, alpha-numerics, figures, drawings, emergency messages, trail markings, lanterns or distress calls, directly onto various substrates and surfaces, including dark or non-reflective objects and outdoor natural surfaces such as grass, trees or land. The invention functions by co-dispensing two vessels, each of which is pressurized by means of a non-flammable liquid or gaseous propellant. The chemical ingredients from each vessel are combined upon contact with the surface or by means of a mixing valve or upon attached to the actuators of each vessel, which simultaneously eject the contents of both vessels and produce a chemiluminescent aerosol spray.
