A monitor adapted for mounting in an automobile headrest is provided. A screen structure of the monitor is pivotable about an upper edge thereof, such that the monitor occupies little volume within the headrest. A viewing angle of the screen structure is independently adjustable by a viewer, such that the viewer can continuously select the optimum viewing angle with changing conditions inside the automobile. The screen structure automatically retracts into a housing when struck. Thus, the monitor poses little risk of injury to passengers.

A viewing angle of the screen structure is independently adjustable by a viewer, such that the viewer can continuously select the optimum viewing angle with changing conditions inside the automobile. The screen structure automatically retracts into a housing when struck. Thus, the monitor poses little risk of injury to passengers. The housing of the monitor is attachable to the headrest with screws, which provides a very sturdy connection and reduces the chances of the housing becoming detached from the headrest during a vehicle collision. The hinged connection between the screen structure and the housing is preferably constructed of interconnected components made from sturdy materials, such as metals. Hinge components are optionally secured with metal fastening members and fastening apertures made of metal and strong plastics. The hinges are thus unlikely to break during a vehicle collision.

A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle has at least one sensor for measuring the distance of the vehicle from an object and a control unit for activating functional groups of the motor vehicle as a function of the measuring result of the sensor. The control unit may be switched between a park-distance control operating mode and a pre-crash operating mode as a function of the speed of the vehicle. A switchover between a cruise-control operating mode and the pre-crash operating mode is dependent on a movement of an object relative to the vehicle as ascertained by the sensor.

Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for planning a procedure for treatment of tissue in a patient's lungs. An exemplary method includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the patient's lungs, displaying the 3D model of the patient's lungs, selecting a target location in the tissue of the patient's lungs as displayed on the 3D model, identifying a point on a pleural surface of the patient's lungs with access to the target location, determining an access path between the target location and the identified point on the pleural surface, calculating a risk of injury to intervening structures between the identified point on the pleural surface and the target location, based on the determined access path, and displaying the access path and the calculated risk of injury for the access path on the 3D model.

The present invention provides a skate guard having an elongated body piece with a longitudinal channel for receiving a skate blade, and an end piece adapted to pivot relative to the body piece. The end piece, which is adapted to receive an end portion of a skate blade, may be pivotally and detachably secured in a closed position whereby a skate blade is held within the guard. In a preferred embodiment, a biased latch member is provided in the end piece to further secure a blade within the guard and to enable a user to install the guard by a step-in process. The end piece is preferably connected to the body piece though an adapter piece that enables the guard to be configured for a variety of skate lengths and shapes. The skate guard preferably includes lateral stabilizing ball and heel segments for added stability when walking and installing the guard.

The invention relates to a steam cleaning device (10), comprising a liquid tank (24), which is connected to an electrically heatable steam boiler (26), wherein the steam boiler has a safety valve (38), which opens at an impermissibly high steam pressure in the steam boiler (26). In order to further develop the steam cleaning device (10) in such a way that the danger of the user being adversely affected by steam exiting through the safety valve (38) is reduced and the handling of the steam cleaning device is simplified, the safety valve (38) is integrated into a detachable maintenance closure (36) and can be covered by a covering element (54), which can be moved back and forth between a closed position that covers the maintenance closure (36) and an uncovering position that uncovers the maintenance closure (36).

This invention provides a liquid crystal display device, which includes a vertical backlight source. A connector (50) formed by silicon rubber keeps end parts of a plurality of fluorescent tubes. A slit part (53) is pushed out to the outside along the arrow direction in the picture so as to install fluorescent tubes (37) into an inserting hole (50). A concave part (60) is formed between the inserting hole (51) and the inserting hole (51) of the connector (50) so as to enable the slit part (53) to easily open and prevent the damage to fluorescent tubes (37) or fluorescent tube terminal (371). And a plurality of fluorescent tubes can be effectively installed at the backlight source without damage.

Provided is a medical suturing needle or a round needle having a circular section, which is balanced between the magnitude of an insertion resistance to living tissues and the difficulty in damaging gloves, thereby to improve the safety. The medical suturing needle (A) comprises a ball-shaped needle tip (1), a tapered portion (2) continuing to the needle tip (1), and a trunk portion (3) continuing to the tapered portion (2). The ball of the needle tip (1) has a diameter of 0.25 mm to 0.34 mm, and the tapered portion (2) has a tapering angle of 8.5 degrees to 9.4 degrees.

The present invention relates to a device for drawing a fabric breadth(2) of a surface-shaped textile from a textile machine(1), especially tricot machine. The device is provided with a plurality of leading-out rollers (4-6), the breadth path of the textile breadth (2) is extended on the surfaces of the leading-out rollers (4-6),and the breadth path is led to a textile accommodating piece (15) in the processing direction after passing the leading-out rollers (4-6).The device is expected to convey textile breadth of elastic textiles with high quality. Clamping equipment is arranged on the last leading-out roller (6) of the processing direction, and a clamping clamp (9) is formed by the clamping equipment and the leading-out roller (6),and the breadth path is extended through the clamping clamp (9).
