Abstract: A transport apparatus includes a movable base, a sling, and a support frame mounted to the base. The frame extends over the base and is configured to move from a position spaced above the base at a first height wherein the frame may be extended over and proximate a support surface for engaging the sling when placed on the surface to an-other position spaced at a height greater than the first height after engagement with the sling. The sling is adapted to be engaged by the frame, which provides lateral support to the sling, wherein when the frame and sling are raised to the greater height the sling is raised above the surface so that a person supported on the sling may be lifted off the surface with the sling and the frame and supported in a sta-bilized sitting position so that the person can moved away from the surface.

Title: Therapeutic mattress assembly
Inventor: WYATT CHARLES C
IPC: A47C27/18
Filed: 2001-11-06
Granted: 2013-05-21
Abstract: A therapeutic mattress assembly comprising a mattress having a substrate assembly that includes a plurality of cylinders positioned side by side over the length of the mattress. Each cylinder is configured as a low air loss system to allow air to flow into the cylinder from a source and out of the cylinder through small holes located on the top of each cylinder. An overlay assembly provides a foam cushion that provides a supporting surface above the substrate assembly for the patient. A calf lift bladder operates to effectively raise or lower the patient's feet to prevent pressure related injuries. A lateral rotation assembly selectively raises and lowers a selected half of the mattress to turn patients in a lateral direction. A bolster inflates in response to the lateral rotation assembly to secure the patient within the mattress.

Abstract: A dispenser device is provided for use by an animal to selectively dispense treats from the device. The device includes a body having an interior opening to receive treats, and an opening is formed in the body to allow dispensing of the treats. A base of the device includes a weighted material therein causing the device to reside in a normally upright position. Contact by the animal causes the device to tip, thereby allowing treats to fall through the opening in the body. Changing the amount and type of material used for the weighted material changes the characteristics of how the device moves when contacted by the animal that in turn, changes the rate and amount of treats that are dispensed.
Patent CA-2778249-C (CA)
Inventor: SELIGMANN BRUCE
IPC: C12Q1/68

Granted: 2018-12-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a new approach, quantitative Nuclease Protection Sequencing (qNPS), for addressing several challenges that face sequencing and which provides improvements for research and diagnostic applications. The method uses a lysis-only nuclease protection assay to generate nucleic acid, e.g., DNA probes for sequencing, which can be coupled to gene-specific tags to permit the identification of the gene without necessitating the sequencing of the nuclease protection probe itself and/or can be coupled to experiment-specific tags whereby samples from different patients can be combined into a single run. The disclosed qNPS makes sequencing fixed or insoluble samples possible and affordable as a research and discovery tool and as a diagnostic test.
