Abstract: An aircraft seat may include a support system with a diaphragm, a cushion with at least one surface configured to conform to a corresponding surface of the support system, a dress cover configured to fit over at least a portion of the cushion, and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly may include a primary attachment feature coupled to the dress cover proximate to at least one edge of the dress cover or coupled to the cushion. The attachment assembly may include an auxiliary attachment feature integrated within the support system. The attachment assembly may be configured to secure the at least one surface of the cushion against the corresponding surface of the support system when the primary attachment feature is coupled to the auxiliary attachment feature at a single attachment interface for the support system, the cushion, and the dress cover.

Abstract: A method of promoting comfort when sleeping or resting by placing a pillow adjusting device (D) underneath a subjects conventional pillow (3). The device (D) creates multi-level head support to assist rest or sleep and reduce next strain when sleeping or resting. The device (D) preferably comprises two pads (1) at a higher level, connected by a central section (2) of a lower level. The user's pillow (3) is placed on top of the device, thus raising the sides of the pillow (3) to a higher level which is more suitable to the user when the user is lying on their side. The central portion (2) is at a more suitable height for when the user is lying on their back. The central portion (2) may contain an additional section (4) to provide neck support when lying on ones back.

Abstract: Hydrophobized silicon oxide-coated metal oxide particles excellent in dispersibility in fluororesins, durability to fluorinated compounds and ultraviolet-shielding properties, and a fluororesin film excellent in transparency, weather resistance and ultraviolet-shielding properties comprising the hydrophobized silicon oxide-coated metal oxide particles, the hydrophobized silicon oxide-coated metal oxide particles being obtained by a process including a primary and a secondary hydrophobizing treatment.

Abstract: A foldable bed comprising a frame including a body section, a cavity section, a seat section, and a foot section, each of which includes a pair of side rails, each of which are pivotally interconnected and which are movable between an unfolded position and a folded position, a mattress carried by the frame and movable therewith between the unfolded and folded positions, wherein in the folded position the mattress is folded upon itself to define an upper support surface, and interconnecting means for pivoting the frame sections between the unfolded position and the folded position, wherein in the unfolded position the body section, the cavity section, the seat section, and the foot section are serially and horizontally aligned, and the side rails of the sections are positioned along respective opposite sides of and generally below the mattress, and in the folded position, the body section is generally horizontal, the seat section overlies the body section, the cavity section extends substantially vertically be

Abstract: An infant carrier is improved with regards to comfort and transportability by utilizing, in combination, a plastic frame assembly and a laterally-resilient, mesh-type nylon material for supporting the infant. The plastic frame assembly is gently and downwardly contoured at the topmost and bottommost portions so as to provide a convenient and natural means of lifting the carrier. The mesh-type material is secured between an upper and lower plastic frame member. The plastic frame member is further provided with means of attaching a body harness and a tubular support stand.
