An outdoor chair is provided that can include a seat, a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, a backrest, and a pair of armrests. The pair of front legs and the pair of back legs can both depend from the seat. The backrest can be disposed adjacent to the seat. The pair of armrests can be coupled to the front legs and the backrest, where each armrest can be coupled to the backrest with a flared protrusion. The rear legs can include an angled leg extension and the seat can include a plurality of horizontal slats.

Shock and vibration mitigation baseplates and related manufacturing methods. A shock and vibration mitigation baseplate includes a mounting frame configured for placement between a console operator chair and a rigid floor surface, and one or more viscoelastic polymer shock absorption and vibration dampening pads. The mounting frame houses the one or more viscoelastic polymer shock absorption and vibration dampening pads therein.

The invention relates to a device (5) for supporting and for movably guiding a chair (6) in a slotted guide (8, 8.1, 8.2), which is provided in a housing (7) and is designed as an elongated hole guide, having a carriage (10) that can be moved in the slotted guide (8, 8.1, 8.2) and supports a chair receptacle (9) of the chair (6). In order to be able to use this device in a more varied manner, according to the invention, the slotted guide (8, 8.1, 8.2) has at least two slotted guide tracks (13, 14), between which an adjustable rack switch (12) is provided in order to transfer the chair (6) out of the one slotted guide track (13) into the other slotted guide track (14), and vice versa.

A foldable chair has frames connected to one another by cross supports, bases connected to the frames by base supports and frame supports, with springs secured between the base supports and frame supports to allow for back and forth movement of the frames when a user is seated in the chair. The foldable chair includes a pliant membrane providing a seating surface for supporting the user.

The present invention relates to stabilization of RNA, in particular mRNA, and an increase in mRNA translation. The present invention particularly relates to a modification of RNA, in particular in vitro-transcribed RNA, resulting in increased transcript stability and/or translation efficiency. According to the invention, it was demonstrated that certain sequences in the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of an RNA molecule improve stability and translation efficiency.

A stepstool includes a stool body and a stability extension. The stool body includes a top step and a support structure that supports the top step. The stability extension projects distally from a base portion of the support structure and extends distally beyond a distal edge of the top step. The stability extension is configured to be received in a toe-space at the base of floor-standing furniture, and the stool body is configured so that the distal edge of the top step can be positioned immediately adjacent to the floor-standing furniture, to provide mechanical interference and thus prevent tipping of the stool body when a user on the top step leans out of balance. Also, the sides of the support structure can be angled outwardly to provide a wider base portion for improved stability of the stool body.

A recliner furniture piece wherein the pair of oppositely disposed side arm sections or frameworks of the furniture piece have their forward end portions extended forwardly beyond the location at which the footrest is disposed when the footrest is located at its fully retracted position, and wherein the pair of oppositely disposed side arm sections or frameworks of the furniture piece have their rearward end portions extended rearwardly beyond the location at which the backrest is attached to the underlying actuator and linkage system. In this manner, the moment arms of the furniture piece are effectively increased while the moment arms of the fully extended footrest and fully reclined backrest are reduced such that the recliner furniture piece can withstand, accommodate, or tolerate increased weights or loads impressed upon the fully extended footrest and/or the fully reclined backrest.

A wearable chair may include a foot frame configured to support a foot of a user; a shank link configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a connecting link provided in front of the shank link and configured to rotatably connect to the foot frame; a knee link configured to rotatably connect to each of the shank link and the connecting link; and a thigh link configured to extend from the knee link. The foot frame, the shank link, the connecting link, and the knee link constitute a four-bar linkage.

A slip-resistant seat includes a seat and anti-slip units. The seat includes a rest portion, legs and butting portions. The legs are disposed below the rest portion. The butting portions are disposed beside the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units are disposed at the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units each include a fitting element, anti-slip portion, adsorption element and force-bearing portion. The adsorption elements are disposed beside the fitting elements, respectively. The fitting elements are higher than the adsorption elements. The anti-slip portions are disposed at the bottoms of the fitting elements. The force-bearing portions are disposed on the top surfaces of the adsorption elements. The fitting elements are fitted to the bottoms of the legs. The butting portions are separated from the force-bearing portions, respectively, by a prepressing distance. When the seat carries a load, the fitting elements are pressed downward, and the prepressing distance shortens.

A toting apparatus can include a bucket, a combination lid and seat cushion, and a harness for carrying the apparatus while the lid covers the top opening of the bucket and the cushion is in the inflated or deflated configuration. The cushion can be formed by a drop-stitch type bladder inflatable using a common hand-operated bicycle pump. The harness can include a belt that wraps around the bucket and a pair or diametrically spaced-apart straps that adjustably and snuggly attach to a central handle structure atop the lid. Various corresponding patches of hook-and-vane style fabric fasteners allow for releasable affixation of various components of the apparatus. Thus the harness can be made of durable flexible fabric.
