Abstract: This invention provides a memory card (1) that is to be used as a storage medium in a host apparatus that can record and reproduce data. The memory card has a first memory (12-1), a second memory (12-2), a first switch (13) for changing over one memory to the other, and a second switch (14) for connecting and disconnecting an insertion/removal detecting terminal INS. The first and second switches work as a slide switch (6) provided on the housing is operated. The first switch has a contact for selecting the first memory, a contact for selecting the second memory, and a contact located between these two contacts, for selecting neither memory. The second switch connects the terminal INS to the ground while the first switch remains connected to the contact for selecting the first memory or the contact for selecting the second memory. The second switch opens the terminal INS while the first switch remains connected to the contact for selecting neither memory. The switches may be placed at locations either allowing operation by the user or not allowing such operation when the card is is inserted in a host apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gelastic cushion. The gelastic cushion is made from a conventional gelastic composition. The gelastic cushion has a structure having a first wall that defines an opening area and buckles when a force is applied to the first wall. When the first wall buckles a predetermined amount, a second wall, interconnected to the first wall, also buckles. The second wall decreases the chance that the first wall bottoms out. Bottoming out increases the pressure on the patient (a.k.a., the force) overlying the gelastic cushion. That increased pressure is undesirable.
