Title: Mattress with different firmness zones
Inventor: JAMES MICHAEL E
IPC: A47C27/04
Filed: 2006-09-26
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: A mattress has a perimeter rail having a head end, a foot end, and two sides, each having an inner surface, and at least two substantially parallel rectilinear sections. Each section comprises an array of springs whose tension is selected to provide a predetermined firmness for that section. Each adjacent pair of sections is urged into a spaced-apart relationship by a spacing means, where each spacing means comprises a flexible spacer. The flexible spacer restricts or substantially eliminates the translation of movements between the sections of the mattress, while avoiding the use of uncomfortable separation means.

Abstract: A filling system for syringes utilizing short needles to be filled from a vial having a thick septum is described. The system may be useful in any situation where the septum or vial stopper of a medication container is thicker than the usable length of the needle on the delivery device. Preferably, the syringe is filled just prior to use. The short needle includes an optional limiter which only permits a certain predetermined length of the needle cannula to protrude beyond the limiter a distance which limits penetration of the needle tip into both the skin and a vial stopper. The system and adapter may be useful for needles having a protrusion distance from approximately 0.5 mm to 3 mm, or any needle with a protrusion length shorter that the thickness of a septum to be accessed. Furthermore, a device is provided with shielding capabilities to shield the needle of the device.

Abstract: A rubber-sprung rail vehicle wheel that includes a wheel tire that is connected to a wheel rim using a rubber insert formed by two flat rings that are arranged to be essentially vertical in relation to the wheel axle. The rings are held, under axial prestress, between an inner circumferential middle web of the wheel tire and two outer flanges of the wheel rim. At least one of the flanges is seated on the wheel rim with an interference fit. The interference fit is designed such that the cone of the flange in the stress-free state has a lesser conicity than the cone of the wheel rim, and in the pressed-on state rests on the entire surface against the cone of the wheel rim. This arrangement provides a secure hold for the flange and no additional bolts are required. Therefore, the space between the web and the flanges can be utilised entirely for the rubber insert.

Title: Variable length data encapsulation and encoding
Inventor: MILLER MARK J
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2006-11-29
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of encoding variable length data for efficient transport over a wireless channel. A wireless terminal can determine a frame size to encode, and can encode and transmit the frame data as one or more encoded blocks selected from a family of block sizes. Each block size can correspond to a particular encoder rate. The frame is parsed into a number of segments having a block size selected from the family of block sizes. The block sizes are selected to maximize the spectral efficiency of the frame. Each segment is then encoded with an encoder corresponding to the block size and having a coding rate that is configured to provide a substantially equal energy per symbol for all of the blocks. The encoded blocks are then aggregated and the smallest block zero padded. The aggregate of encoded blocks can be transported in one or more bursts.
