A waste cart includes a container having first and second wall portions, and first and second openings defined by the wall portions to receive and support a grab bar. The container includes at least one positioning element to constrain the lateral movement of the grab bar. During assembly, the first end of the grab bar is inserted through the opening in the first sidewall, and the grab bar is pivoted to align the grab bar with the opening in the second sidewall. During the pivoting of the grab bar, the first positioning element is deformed. The second end of the grab bar is inserted into the opening in the second sidewall, allowing the first positioning element to snap back to its original, non-deformed orientation. When the grab bar is installed, the positioning elements are positioned at the outer ends of the grab bar.

A system and method for detecting perforations in a body cavity. In accordance with the method of the invention, a fluid (liquid or gas) is delivered into a body cavity to slightly pressurize the cavity. A pressure sensing system monitors the pressure within the cavity for a predetermined test period. If cavity pressure is not substantially sustained during the test period, the physician is alerted to further assess the cavity for perforations before initiating treatment within the cavity. In a preferred form of the system, a medical treatment system such as an RF ablation system is provided with perforation detection functionality. The system preferably includes a pre-test and post-test lockout system. The lockout system prevents RF power delivery unless, during a predetermined test period, the pressure sensing system determines that no perforation exists, or unless a previously performed perforation detection procedure determined a perforation was present but the lockout system was subsequently overridden by the physician.

A console and method of installing a console for a motor vehicle or the like including a passenger cabin. The console includes an accessory module for use by occupants of the vehicle and has a housing with fasteners adapted to mount the console within the vehicle cabin. A chamber having an open side is formed in the console and receives an accessory module. At least a portion of the housing comprises an expanded polymeric material, preferably expended polypropylene, to provide a soft surface within the vehicle cabin. A decorative skin covers a surface of the housing that confronts the vehicle cabin in another embodiment

A vehicle sun visor according to the invention includes a frame defining an open-top channel and a track assembly mounted to the frame in the channel. The track assembly includes a planar central portion and depending parallel sidewalls. Each track sidewall is hinged to the central portion for hinged articulation of the sidewalls relative the central portion prior to assembly within the frame. Further, each track sidewall has at least one inwardly directed flange forming at least one track. An extender blade is mounted in the at least one track for sliding movement from a retracted position substantially within the track assembly to an extended position wherein the extender blade at least partially extends from the track assembly.

A vehicle accessory has a mounting wall with an elongated slot which slideably receives a snap-in fastener which is fixed in the orthogonal direction of installation of the snap-in fastener. The fastener cooperates with an elongated slot formed in a vehicle support structure which slot extends orthogonally to the slot in the vehicle accessory such that the fastener can be moved into alignment on two axes to align with the aperture in the vehicle for insertion of the fastener and installation of the accessory.

A signal filter method and apparatus for removing portions of a signal indicative of erroneous data, an exemplary apparatus including means for receiving the signal, means for adjusting a threshold by increasing the threshold a first predetermined amount when the signal is in a predetermined relationship with the threshold and for decreasing the threshold a second predetermined amount when the signal is in a second predetermined relationship with the threshold, and means for comparing the signal with the adjusted threshold and for transmitting the signal if the signal bears a first predetermined relationship to the threshold. Disclosed herein are digital and analog implementations of the signal filter method and apparatus, particularly suited for use with catheter-type oximeter apparatus.

An energy dissipation assembly is provided for dissipating energy between a vehicle component and a vehicle sheet metal member. The assembly includes a collapsible crash box forming a central aperture therethrough for receiving the vehicle component. The collapsible crash box includes a plurality of collapsible levels oriented concentrically with respect to the central aperture. A sufficient impact against the component causes collapse of the plurality of levels between the component and the sheet metal member, thereby dissipating energy of the impact.
