Abstract: An article comprising a casing for receiving loose insulating material, including an inner shell and an outer shell of flexible sheet material with a baffle arrangement between and connecting the shells. The baffle arrangement includes adjacent first and second elongate baffle members of flexible sheet material laterally spaced along the shells. The first and second baffle members, together with the inner and outer shells, define one or more chambers to receive the insulating material. Each baffle member is connected to the outer shell along a respective baffle outer edge at an outer connection region and to the inner shell along a respective baffle inner edge at an opposing inner connection region. The opposing inner and outer connection regions of the first baffle member are non-linear and follow an inverse path from one another in plan view, inhibiting migration of the insulating material and improving thermal performance.

Abstract: An inflatable mat including an upper outer layer and a lower outer layer defining a substantially enclosed internal volume; at least one valve in selectable fluid communication with the internal volume; at least one insulating layer disposed between the upper outer layer and the lower outer layer; a plurality of tie members each extending between and directly connected to the upper outer layer and the lower outer layer; and a plurality of strap members each configured to hold the insulating layer to one of the upper or lower outer layer.

Abstract: Provided are an inflatable structure, an inflatable product, and a method for manufacturing for an inflatable product. The inflatable structure comprises a first layer and a second layer; a composite material comprises a plurality of filling materials which are sequentially stacked from top to bottom; a reflective layer is arranged between a pair of adjacent filling materials; an upper end of the composite material is connected to the first layer, and a lower end of the composite material is connected to the second layer. The composite material is arranged between the first layer and the second layer of the inflatable structure, and said composite material is respectively stretched by the first layer and the second layer; the stretched filling materials are attached to upper and lower surfaces of the reflective layer like two spring structures; when external vibrations are transmitted to the reflective layer, said vibrations are dampened.

Abstract: A backpack with a torso length adjustment mechanism is provided. The backpack includes a holder fixedly connected to a bag, a mesh back support having a back mesh contactable to the back of the user and a supporting element for spacedly supporting the back mesh on the holder. The backpack includes a shoulder strap length adjusting mechanism having a force transmitting element for transmitting a force from the holder to the shoulder straps of the backpack. The force transmitting element is lockably movable on the holder between a first position in which a size of the shoulder straps is the largest and a second position in which the size of the shoulder straps is the smallest. The shoulder strap length adjusting mechanism includes a locking mechanism at the holder for releasably locking a movement of the force transmitting element.

Abstract: Among other things, there is disclosed a biopsy needle system in which the needle is capable of obtaining more than one length of sample. Generally, the needle includes an inner stylet, an outer cannula, and a handle connected to the stylet and cannula. The stylet has a notch that is extendable from the cannula to accommodate a tissue sample. An insert member is provided for attachment to the handle to make the amount of exposed notch smaller. Consequently, when the insert member is not attached to the handle, the needle can obtain a larger sample of tissue, and when the insert member is attached to the handle, the needle can obtain a smaller sample of tissue.
