Abstract:
The present invention includes a pressure relief patient support for use in combination with a bed frame. The pressure relief support surface includes a plurality of layers of a three-dimensional fiber material positioned above a plurality of vertical air cells.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes certain exemplary embodiments of a patient support having a plurality of vertically-oriented on substantially can-shaped inflatable bladders. In one embodiment, the patient support includes a plurality of pressure sensors positioned underneath the bladders. In another embodiment, the patient support includes a support layer positioned above the vertical bladders. In still another embodiment, the patient support includes one or more filler portions that are selectable so that the patient support may conform to bed frames having different deck configurations.

Abstract:
This disclosure described a patient support having an air permeable layer, a plurality of inflatable bladders, a pressure-sensing assembly and a controller. In one embodiment, a combination of transverse bladders and vertically oriented can-shaped bladders is provided. In one embodiment, one or more angle sensors are provided in articulatable sections of the patient support.
Abstract:
A patient support including a frame and a mattress supported by the frame. The frame includes a deck support and a deck supporting the mattress.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for modeling stress intensity solutions of integrally stiffened panels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes serving a process over the internet. The process includes taking a problem definition, automatically forming a finite element model at least partially based on the problem definition, automatically verifying a suitability condition of the finite element model, automatically solving a computational solution using the finite element model and automatically validating the computational solution. In one aspect, providing a problem definition includes at least one of providing a geometry definition, providing a crack definition, and providing load and constraint definition.

A patient support including a frame and a mattress supported by the frame. The frame includes a deck support and a deck supporting the mattress.
Abstract:
A rack for a drum set, comprising a X-shaped support member, wherein said X-shaped support member further comprises an upper partial X-shaped member and a lower partial X-shaped member; and further wherein, said upper partial X-shaped member contains at least one outwardly curving portion, and wherein said lower partial X-shaped member contains at least one outwardly curving portion, and one or more support legs, which may be removably coupled to said upper partial X-shaped member via a first sleeve coupled and to lower X-shaped member via a second sleeve.
Abstract:
A tissue stabilizer including an elongated arm, a collet, and a head-link assembly. The collet is disposed at a distal end of the arm. The head-link assembly includes a tube and a spreading mechanism. The tube forms an intermediate section and opposing arms each terminating at a tip. The spreading mechanism can adjust a lateral distance between the tips, and includes first and second articulating members each having a leg and a collet interface body. The first member further includes a female hinge feature, whereas the second member includes a male hinge feature differing from the female hinge feature. The legs of are mounted to discrete regions of the tube, and the male hinge feature is pivotably coupled to the female hinge feature. Automatic spreading of a lateral distance between the tips occurs in response to a compressive force applied to the collet interface bodies.
