Abstract: A manually driven bathtub lift for assisting persons of limited strength or mobility into or out of a typical bathtub without the high costs associated with pneumatic, hydraulic or electric lift devices. A seat is attached to a wheeled trolley arranged for movement up an inclined track mounted on a base frame. A chain is disposed about a drive sprocket and a set of guide pulleys and attached to opposite ends of the trolley. The set of pulleys includes an idler that is biased to retain tension in the chain. The drive sprocket is driven by the rotation of a driver wheel supported on the same shaft as the sprocket. Rotation of the sprocket drives the chain which in turn moves the trolley and attached seat. The driver wheel has handles circumferentially spaced around it and is of large enough size that it can be reached and operated from the seat. The lift is light to allow for easily installation and removal and does not require significant strength to operate

Abstract: The present invention has been made to realize access processing performed in accordance with synchronous/asynchronous state between processors in a fault tolerant system. In two systems that constitute a fault tolerant system, a router assigns, to an access packet transmitted from a CPU to an IO device, tag information including ID codes of access source and destination and information indicating whether the access packet is synchronous access. An access comparison section has buffers and that retain the packets from the CPU on a system basis, a tag check section that determines whether each packet is synchronous packet access based on the tag information assigned to the packets retained in the buffers, and a comparison section that outputs the packet from one system to an IO IF and discards the packet from other system in the case where the packet is synchronous access.
