摘要： A bed comprises an inflatable mattress supported on a platform of articulable links by a support system mounted on a base frame. A connector assembly is used to couple the cells to the platform, to adjacent cells, and to tubes connected to other cells. The mattress includes lateral cushions or cells that have a general triangular shape with larger upper cells forming a patient support surface and smaller base cells laterally supporting the upper cells. The upper cells may be elevated at the ends to form a broad U or V shape. Alternative embodiments include shorter base and upper cells with a box-shaped restraining cell on each end that extends above the upper cells. Modified upper cells have end pouches that store separate restraint cells when deflated, and provide inflation pressure when removed by a fixed connecting tube. The restraint cells are positionable along the host upper cell and anchor to catches mounted on the adjacent base cells.

摘要： A bed configured to support a patient having a weight comprises a frame, a patient support, and a plurality of sensors coupled between the frame and the patient support. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to generate an analog signal in response to a portion of the weight of the patient on the patient support. The bed also comprises a circuit coupled to the plurality of sensors to receive the analog signals therefrom. The circuit includes a plurality of analog-to-digital converters, each analog-to-digital converter being coupled to one of the sensors to generate a separate digital signal for each of the plurality of sensors, and a processor coupled to the plurality of analog-to-digital converters to determine the weight of the patient on the patient support.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided to produce electromechanical interconnections within integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs) and between PCBs and other electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits. Elements include so-called “smart pins” or “neuro-pins” that facilitate electrical pathways in the dimension normal to the plane of a PCB. Smart pins or neuro-pins may be inserted using automated processes that do not require the high temperatures normally associated with soldering. Resultant circuits generally contain a large number of layers that are more compact and more readily constructed compared with conventional PCB-based circuitry.
