Abstract: A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The peripheral frame (16) comprises a first U-shaped frame portion (20) and a second U-shaped frame portion (20) wherein the first U-shaped frame portion and the second U-shaped frame portion each have first and second ends (24, 26). The first ends (24) substantially meet at a first junction (28) and the second ends (26) substantially meet at a second junction (30) to thereby define a substantially closed loop peripheral frame. The first and second U-shaped frames (20) are pivotable relative to the first and second junctions (28, 30) to adjust from an erected configuration to a folded configuration.  The first supporting leg structure (20) supports the peripheral frame (16) at the first junction (28) and the second supporting leg structure (20) support the peripheral frame (16) at the second junction (30). Each of the first and second supporting leg structures (20) comprise two support legs (32, 34) which are pivotable relative to the associated junction (28, 30) to adjust from a configuration whereby the two support legs (32, 34) diverge in the downward direction at an included angle, to a collapsed configuration with the support legs arranged at a lesser included angle. The support legs (32, 34) are length adjustable. The length adjustment of the two support legs (32, 34) may be operable in unison in the collapsed configuration.

Inventor: HOFFMAN DOUGLAS ROBERT
IPC: A41D19/00
Filed: 2006-11-03
Abstract: A germicidal surface-covering assembly that includes at least two different donnable or drapable garments. Each garment defines at least one treated surface that is susceptible to pathogen contamination in a physical contamination event when used as intended in an environment subject to contamination (e.g., a clinical environment, a laboratory or a workplace).  Each treated surface is adapted to provide a time-dependent reduction in the number of pathogens available at that treated surface after a physical contamination event, such that at least a predetermined time after a physical contamination event at a first location on a first treated surface of a first garment, a first physical contact between the first location on the first treated surface and a second location on a second treated surface of a second garment results fewer viable pathogens on the second treated surface as compared to an untreated control. Moreover, at least a predetermined time after the first physical contact, a second physical contact between the second location on the second treated surface and a third location on a third treated surface of a third garment results in fewer viable pathogens on the third treated surface as compared to an untreated control.

IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2008-12-02
Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for dynamic management of a plurality of integrated receiver decoders (IRDs) based implicitly on the uplink's knowledge of an identity pre-assigned to each IRD. Thus, the IRD association or other IRD configurations may be maintained by a uplink controller and need not be disseminated to each IRD a priori. This eliminates the need to expend network bandwidth and extra time to send out IRD configurations to individual IRDs prior to commanding or controlling the IRDs as desired.

Title: Distributed storage of routing information in a link state protocol controlled network
Inventor: MCCORMICK WILLIAM
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 2007-11-01
Abstract: A distributed hash table is implemented to store routing information on a network. Node IDs exchanged in connection with implementation of a link state routing protocol are used as keys in the distributed hash table, and routes are stored at one or more nodes on the network. When a route is learned, the route is processed against the set of keys to determine which nodes should store the route. When a route is needed, the route is processed against the set of keys to determine which nodes should have the route information. The manner in which the route is processed against the set of keys is the same in both instances, so that the DHT may be used to store and retrieve route information on the network. The DHT may be implemented to store MAC addresses, IP addresses, MPLS labels, or other information of interest to enable routes to be stored and learned by network elements on the network.
