Publication number: 20120210814Abstract: A cable transmission shift converter for use when replacing the transmission in a right hand drive vehicle with a transmission designed for a left hand drive vehicle. A mounting bracket is mounted directly to a firewall adjacent the steering column of the vehicle, while a second angled bracket is mounted to the left side of the replacement transmission. When the driver shifts the vehicle into gear, the steering column shift selector lever actuates a connector rod to transmit movement through the control cable to a second connector rod, which activates a crank arm that translates the movement to the transmission shift lever.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2011Publication date: August 23, 2012Inventors: Robert L.

Publication number: 20110124772Abstract: Polymers with non-leaching antimicrobial activity and their use as surface coatings or bulk resins for medical devices. The antimicrobial polymers are prepared with antimicrobial moieties covalently bonded to a polymer chain end or to a polymer backbone at a side chain end. The antimicrobial moiety-containing endgroups include surface active (or surface assembling) moieties which promote enrichment of antimicrobial endgroups at the polymer surface and thus formation of an antimicrobially active surface. Polymers with built-in antimicrobial endgroups can be used as bulk resins, as antimicrobial additives, or as infection preventative coatings in the manufacture of medical devices (e.g., catheters, vascular access devices, peripheral lines, IV sites, drains, gastric feeding and tubes, and other implantable devices).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: DSM IP Assets B.V.Inventors: Shanger Wang, Robert S.

Publication number: 20030041684Abstract: A cable transmission shift converter for use when replacing the transmission in a right hand drive vehicle with a transmission designed for a left hand drive vehicle. The cable shift converter includes two brackets and a control cable and transmits movement of the original shift rod to the transmission shift lever on the left side of the transmission. A mounting bracket is mounted directly to the right side of the frame of the vehicle, while a second angled bracket is mounted to the left side of the replacement transmission. When the driver shifts the vehicle into gear, the shift rod actuates a bell crank causing a connector rod to transmit movement through the control cable to a second connector rod, which activates a crank arm that translates the movement to the transmission shift lever.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2001Publication date: March 6, 2003Inventor: Robert L.
