  • Patent number: 7954895
    Abstract: The present invention provides a child seat (1) comprising a seat back (3), a headrest (4) which is moveable relative to the seat back (3), and a removable harness which may be installed for use in securing an occupant to the seat (1), wherein the headrest (4) is coupled to the seat back (3) such that the headrest (4) may undergo a first extent of movement relative to the seat back (3) when the harness is installed and may only undergo a second further extent of movement relative to the seat back (3) when the harness is removed. In this regard, only when the harness is removed from an operative position, namely one where it is installed such that it can be used to restrain a child, can the headrest (4) undergo its second further extent of movement relative to the seat back (3). This ensures that the headrest (4) is not inappropriately positioned for the group of child being restrained thereby.

  • Publication number: 20080090220
    Abstract: A multimedia reproduction system comprises a computing subsystem operably connected to and controlling one or more of video, audio, and olfactory subsystems. The system accepts user input and adapts a multimedia presentation in response thereto. The subsystems are easily separable and configured in carrying cases that protect them during transport. The subsystems easily connect (physically and electronically) to each other upon delivery to form a system that presents 3-D, high definition video, surround-sound audio, and even scents from local and/or remote sources.
