  • Publication number: 20190359092
    Abstract: A support base for a child safety seat includes a support leg, a first and a second locking mechanism, and a linking assembly. The support leg includes three segments that are telescopically connected with one another via a first and a second sliding connection. The first locking mechanism includes a first latch for locking and unlocking the first sliding connection, and a first actuating part operable to cause the first latch to unlock the first sliding connection. The second locking mechanism includes a second latch for locking and unlocking the second sliding connection, and a second actuating part operable to cause the second latch to unlock the second sliding connection. The linking assembly operatively couples the first locking mechanism to the second locking mechanism so that the first and second sliding connections can be unlocked concurrently with one single operating step.

  • Patent number: 8571648
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to apply substances to a biological tissue are described. The tissue having an target below a surface is stretched to provide openings in a surface. Stretching forces a material from the target onto the surface. A first substance may be applied while stretching to promote cleaning the tissue. A second substance may be applied to the surface. Energy may be applied to the tissue. Then the tissue is relaxed to draw the second substance through the openings into the tissue. The tissue may be stretched by applying a negative pressure, and relaxed by removing the negative pressure. The first substance may be an abrasive material. The second substance is a medicine, a moisturizer, a lotion, or any combination thereof. The second substance may be applied to the biological tissue using a positive pressure. The apparatus to apply substances may be a handheld device.

  • Publication number: 20130281915
    Abstract: Methods and an apparatus for extracting an underlying sebum of a pilosebaceous unit for the treatment of acne or closed comedones is disclosed. The method includes placing a vacuum suction pressure device on a surface of a skin area to be treated for an acne condition, applying the vacuum suction pressure on the surface of the skin area to pull the skin area into an aperture opening of the vacuum suction pressure device and to extract an underlying sebum of the pilosebaceous unit, puncturing the surface of the skin area containing at least one pilosebaceous unit with at least one micro-needle insert unit recessed into the aperture opening of the vacuum suction pressure device to create a lesion on the pilosebaceous unit and applying a subsequent dose of vacuum suction pressure or an application of broad band light to the skin area to be treated.
