Patent CA-2235297-A1 (CA)
Title: Cellular air loss mattress system
Inventor: CAPARON CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: A61G7/057
Filed: 1996-11-12
Abstract: Generally, the present invention is directed to a cellular air loss mattress system comprising an air mattress (10) and an air supply means (37). Cells of the mattress system are welded onto a unitary top piece (14) and a unitary bottom piece (15). Means for supplying air, preferably an air blower, is connected to the center cell (19) (also referred to as the pelvis cell) via a supply hose. The air exiting the air blower travels through the supply hose and fills the center cell. The air is allowed to directly travel into adjacent cells via internal air connectors (11, 12, 13). The inner diameter of each air connector is adjusted to create different pressure zones within the air mattress (10) to support the different pressure requirements of a patient's body. The highest pressure zone is the center cell (19) that initially receives air from the air supply means (37). The pressure decreases as air moves from the center cell (19) to adjacent cells. The top piece of the air mattress preferably has a plurality of tiny holes (24) that allows for air to escape to help maintain the patient's skin and to help prevent skin breakdown.

Patent CA-2238693-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UNGER KEN
IPC: G02B27/01
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: The apparatus for displaying a virtual environ-ment on a video display such as a head mounted dis-play (23), has a position processor (11) for generating a visual orientation signal indicating a visual orientation of the video display with respect to the virtual envi-ronment, and an image generator (20) for generating a series of component images of the virtual environment for the visual orientation. The image generator (20) re-ceives the visual orientation signals. Any change in the visual orientation signal from a time when orientation signal was used by the image generator (20) to generate each component image and a time of display of each component image on the video display (16) is detected to produce an offset shift signal. An image shifting de-vice shifts the image on the display (16) in response to the offset shift signal, so as to improve the display of the virtual environment. Field sequential color video and temporal grey scale video can be improved using the apparatus, in addition to other video systems with a transport delay and active variable motion which is difficult to predict.
