| 20090068130 | SUNLESS TANNING COMPOSITION WITH PHOTOSTABLIZED SUNSCREEN - In one aspect, a cosmetic composition includes a sunless tanning agent and a sunscreen agent. A photostabilizer is added to stabilize the sunscreen agent from the destabilizing effect of the sunless tanning agent. In this manner, UV protection is provided to the user when the cosmetic composition is applied to skin. In another aspect, a water-based sunless tanning/sunscreen composition includes a sunless tanning agent, a sunscreen agent, and a photostabilizer. The sunless tanning agent is DHA, and the sunscreen is avobenzone. Because the avobenzone degrades when exposed to UV radiation when used with DHA, the photostabilizer is added to enable the avobenzone to retain most of its original ability to absorb the UV radiation. The photostabilizer is a low molecular weight copolymer of adipic acid and neopentyl glycol. | 03-12-2009 |

Specifically, the laterally projecting sleeves of each cam member present a mating angle profile for slidably receiving therein and securely attaching with longitudinal end regions of the second set of angle cross members. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090174251 | ZERO-WALL CLEARANCE LINKAGE MECHANISM FOR A HIGH-LEG SEATING UNIT - A seating unit that includes a linkage mechanism adapted to move the seating unit between extended and reclined positions, and a chassis is provided. The linkage mechanism includes a seat-mounting link, a base plate fixedly mounted to the chassis, a back-mounting bracket rotatably coupled to the seat-mounting link, a back drive link in generally laterally-spaced relation to the seat-mounting link, and a front-lift assembly that is rotatably coupled to the seat-mounting link. In operation, a rearward occupant force on the back-mounting bracket generates a rearward bias that is converted to a laterally-directed force through the back drive link to the front-lift assembly. Upon receiving this force, the front-lift assembly translates the seat-mounting link forward and upward in relation to the base plate, such that, the seat-mounting link is consistently biased in a particular inclination angle with respect to the base plate throughout adjustment. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20100202856 | ISOLATOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION - An isolator assembly which may be used, for example, to secure a fuel rail to a cylinder head. The isolator assembly includes a bolt, washer and compressive elements. When using the isolator assembly to mount a fuel rail, preferably initially the washer and a first compressive element are retained on the bolt. A shaft end of the bolt is then inserted into a mounting boss of the fuel rail, and a second compressive element is engaged with both the fuel rail and a threaded portion of the bolt. The bolt is then threaded into the cylinder head, causing the second compressive element to come into contact with the cylinder head and compress, along with the first compressive element. When fully installed, the first compressive element isolates the fuel rail from the bolt itself (and the washer), and the second compressive element isolates the cylinder head from the fuel rail. | 08-12-2010 |
