  • Patent number: 11980240
    Abstract: A ventilated jacket includes a body portion having a front side and a rear side, a sleeve portion extending from the body portion, and a ventilation system including a plurality of vent openings configured to allow airflow into and out of the jacket. The ventilation system includes an underarm vent having a first end and a second end, the underarm vent extends across a seam between the body portion and the sleeve portion. The jacket further includes a wing that follows a path established by a rear side of the underarm vent. The wing includes a first end adjacent the first end of the underarm vent and a second end adjacent the second end of the underarm vent. The wing extending outward from the underarm vent to channel oncoming air into the underarm vent when the sleeve portion is held in an extended orientation away from the body portion.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8939265
    Abstract: A disc brake comprising a floating stirrup and a brake piston controlled via a motion conversion cartridge (200) comprising a rear part pressed against the bottom (114) of the housing (113) in the stirrup (100) and a control shaft (220) passing through the bottom. The front part (260) of the cartridge is pressed against the brake piston. It comprises a piston (270) provided with a plate cooperating with the plate of the control shaft (220) with the interposition of balls cooperating with tracks in the form of ramps to transform the relative rotational motion of one plate relative to the other into a translational motion of the piston (270). The cartridge (200) is held in place in its housing (113) by a cage (290) elastically attached to the wall (117, 118) of the housing (113).

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20060037252
    Abstract: A drip edge device for a roof which includes a panel having top and bottom surfaces, the panel having an integrally formed flange protruding downwardly from the bottom surface, with the flange arranged so that an inner side can locate against a roof edge when an inner planar portion of the panel extends under roofing material adjacent the roof edge, and a lip also integrally formed with the device and positioned outwardly of the flange so as to form, together with the outer side of the flange and the bottom surface of an outer portion of the panel, a recess for a heating cable. At least one of the flange and lip are resilient and provide a restricted entry into the recess such that the recess can retain a heating cable sized to fit the recess when such cable has been pushed laterally into the recess.

  • 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.
