  • Patent number: 7585025
    Abstract: A head restraint assembly of this embodiment includes a bun and a post. The post is adapted to attach the head restraint assembly to a vehicle seat. The head restraint bun includes a head restraint core and a trim cover. The trim cover surrounds at least a portion of the head restraint core. The trim cover includes a close-out section at which the trim cover is closed after the head restraint core is placed within the trim cover. A retainer clip is attached to the head restraint core at an attachment region. The head restraint assembly also includes a close-out retainer bracket which is attached to a close-out section of the trim cover. When the trim cover is in a closed position, the close-out retainer bracket is secured to the retainer clip. A method of assembly head restraints is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080045834
    Abstract: A fluid delivery system includes a first pressurizing device, a second pressurizing device, a reusable fluid path for delivering fluid to multiple patients and a per-patient disposable fluid path adapted to be connected to the reusable fluid path and operable to deliver fluid media to a balloon catheter in a patient. The reusable fluid path includes a first portion in fluid communication with a first source of fluid medium and a second portion in fluid communication with a second source of fluid medium. The first pressurizing device is associated with the first portion of the reusable fluid path and the second pressurizing device is associated with the second portion of the reusable fluid path. A control unit in communication with the first and second pressurizing devices is adapted to actuate the first and second pressurizing devices to deliver one or both of the fluid media to a balloon on the balloon catheter.

  • Publication number: 20050244954
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the acceleration of binding of target analytes to capture ligands on surfaces. Detection proceeds through the use of an electron transfer moiety (ETM) that is associated with the target analyte, either directly or indirectly, to allow electronic detection of the ETM.
