  • Patent number: 11059535
    Abstract: The present invention is a mechanism for adjusting backrest of a seat of a motorcycle that moves backrest towards and away from seat thereby adjusting sitting space as desired for different users. The mechanism includes a connecting bracket and a sliding bracket. Connecting bracket connects backrest and central bracket which is a part of the motorcycle that conventionally connects backrest to fender bracket disposed on a fender. Sliding bracket is connected at a bottom portion of central bracket and slides on fender bracket. When sliding bracket slides, central bracket and connecting bracket slides, thereby sliding backrest towards and away from seat of motorcycle. Thus, as desired space between backrest and seat can be increased or reduced to provide comfortable sitting on seat.

  • Publication number: 20130085871
    Abstract: A method and system of creating interactive content to be linked via a tab to appear in a web page is disclosed. A first panel including a first object displayable on the web page is provided via a composer interface. The first object has a first interaction when displayed on the web page. A second panel including a second object is provided via the composer interface. The second object is displayable on the webpage in place of the first panel. A timeline is created via the composer interface to sequentially present the first and second panels in the web page. The ad is made available for display in the web page via the tab when the web page is requested by a user device.

  • Patent number: 5749152
    Abstract: A spirit level vial construction provides various refinements in the structure and method of manufacture of vials used for the containment of fluid and adapted to be installed in spirit levels. The construction is particularly adapted to use with spherical vials, i. e., level vials having a concave spherical form within the sight glass portion containing the bubble, and adapted to provide level information relative to a planar surface. However, the present construction may also be used for tubular type level vials. Vials using the present construction are formed of plastic materials (particularly acrylics) for economy, and are preferably molded by an injection molding method in order to reduce substantially any warping or deformation during the molding process. Various clear or dyed fluids which are compatible with the plastics may be used, particularly mineral spirits.

  • Patent number: 5587926
    Abstract: A refrigerated automatic fluid sampling apparatus having a compressor assembly mounted in an upper portion thereof, above the thermally-controlled sample compartment. The apparatus includes a thermal control system which prolongs compressor life and optimizes compressor operation by exercising the compressor assembly during prolonged periods of non-use, preventing short-cycling of the compressor, and accurately monitoring sample temperatures to minimize compressor starts. The invention further includes a sampling control system which employs a statistical regression model to simulate real-life pumping system and operating characteristics so as to accurately deliver a predetermined sample volume, which permits sampling on a constant time, variable volume basis as well as other sampling modes.
