IPC: A61G7/057
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: Multiple varieties of patient support surfaces (10) are presented with a common modular assembly primarily including a perimeter chassis and integrated upper support element. Perimeter bolsters (14) provide relatively firmer support and facilitate safer transfers and better sitting at the edge of the bed. Pressure redistribution air cylinders (36, 38, 40, 42), turned either longitudinally or laterally, are captured by shaped, slotted inner bolsters (68, 70) and underside arches (88, 90, 92, 94) of an integral foam topper (24). Each foam topper (24) integrally incorporated may include a sloping heel pressure relief section for redistributing load to relatively more pressure-tolerant lower legs and calves. An external valving arrangement for a static non-powered embodiment permits practice of a "recharging" technique using an air pump (118) and self-calibrated valve (124), to return the air pressure in static air cylinders (36, 38, 40, 42) to their original manufactured specifications.

Patent CA-2317513-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUCHHOLZER PAUL
IPC: B27N1/02
Filed: 1999-07-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing low, medium or high density fibre panels through hot compression of a fibre panel composed of glued fibres. According to said fibre production method, vapour overpressure is used to soften chips which are then shredded to form fibres. Said fibres are transported, with the vapour pressure, trough a blow duct, in order to enter a tubular drier, and are transferred after drying to a dispersion machine or the like. To reduce the binder consumption, the final section of said tubular drier is built as a glue-wetting area wherein the transport speed of the fibre mixture is reduced due to an enlargement of the flow section of said tubular drier, whereby a turbulent flow is produced and turbulence is increased by an additional air injection, said additional air being injected simultaneously to the binder and preferably, at the same angle, axially and at the centre of the wetting area whose length is approximately 5 to 10 times bigger than its diameter.

Patent CA-2350161-A1 (CA)
Title: Airfoil suitable for forward and reverse flow
Inventor: CARTER JAY W JR
IPC: B64C3/14
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: An airfoil has a concave rear top surface, a concave rear bottom surface, and a rounded trailing edge to increase the lift-to-drag ratio of the airfoil at small angles of attack when air is flowing from the trailing edge to the leading edge (reverse flow), while maintaining a high lift-to-drag ratio when air is flowing from the leading edge to the trailing edge (forward flow). The airfoil design results from a performance compromise between forward and reverse airflow. For structural reasons, the thickness of the airfoil in proportion to its chord length may change along the blade radius. Thus, a family of airfoils has been designed that promote low-drag laminar flow with both forward and reverse flow, permit operation of the airfoil with reverse flow over a reasonable range of angles of attack, and achieve high lift with forward flow.
