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.

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.
