Abstract: The present disclosure provides a rotational spring dampener that has a compression limiter, a first disk, and a second disk. The first disk is disposed at a first end of the compression limiter and the second disk is disposed at a second end of the compression limiter, where the second end is opposite the first end. The rotational spring dampener also has a tensile member. The tensile member is connected to the first disk and the second disk. The tensile member is composed of a block copolymer.

Abstract: A formulation comprising dantrolene, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a cyclodextrin in a molar ratio of 1:3 to 1:12 and also comprising polyethylene glycol (PEG) with an average molecular weight in the range 1500 to 6000.

Abstract: A patient movement monitoring system for a bed mattress having a first side, a second side, a head end side and a foot end. The system includes a first sensing device coupled at the first side of the bed mattress, a second sensing device coupled at the second side of the bed mattress, and a third sensing device coupled at the head end side of the bed mattress. The sensing devices each include an accelerometer, gyroscope, and vibration sensor. The accelerometer detects an intensity of patient movement in the bed mattress. The gyroscope detects a change in the angle of the bed mattress. The vibration sensor detects vibration of the bed mattress. And a pressure sensing array is coupled at the underside of the bed mattress to detect changes in pressure of the bed mattress. A processing device is in electronic communication with the sensing devices and pressure sensing array and generates an alert if the sensors don't detect patient movement within a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A method for making a seat includes the step of overmolding a carrier onto a fabric seat surface. The fabric surface is formed from a woven fabric material having heating element fibers. The heating element fibers are placed in contact with a conductor. The carrier and the conductor are then positioned into a frame.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a fabric component with a seat surface and with an interior segment directly attached to the fabric component. The interior segment extends from an exterior segment that has a greater flexural resistance than the interior segment.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a rotational spring dampener including a core having an opening therethrough, a first solid component having a first set of bosses, a second solid component having a second set of bosses, and a tensile member positioned between the first solid component and the second solid component. The tensile member is composed of a solid silicon polymer.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a fabric component having a seat surface and a frame including an interior segment directly attached to the fabric component. The interior segment extends from an exterior segment that has a greater flexural resistance than the interior segment.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a support structure, a seat surface (14) and a molded polymeric frame (18). The frame has an edge region and the seat surface (14) is mounted to the frame (18) and the frame is mounted to the support structure. At least a portion of the edge region is flexible.

Abstract: A suspended fabric seat includes a frame, a woven fabric suspended in the frame and a plurality of compression limiters attached to the woven fabric. The woven fabric is formed from monofilament fibers that are oriented in a first direction and textile fibers oriented in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The plurality of compression limiters are oriented in the first direction and are formed from a material compatible with the woven fabric. A method for making the suspended fabric seat is also disclosed.

Abstract: A seat and cooling system for the seat include a porous seat surface, an air spacer disposed on a side of the seat surface that defines an air channel, a substantially air impermeable barrier having an opening therein in communication with the air channel and a blower configured to draw air through the seat surface and from the air channel. Air drawn from around an occupant on the seat surface draws moisture from the occupant, causing moisture to evaporate, to provide a cooling sensation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of location identification using a single beacon. The method comprises determining a first distance between a beacon and a first sensor, where the first sensor is embedded in a mobile device. It also includes determining a second distance between the beacon and a second sensor, where the second sensor is embedded in the mobile device. The method also includes defining a vector, where the vector has a magnitude equal to the distance between the first and second sensor, and a direction pointing from the first sensor to the second sensor. The method further includes calculating a plurality of potential locations. The method then determines the actual location.
