Title: Patient support surfaces
Inventor: RABURN RICHARD W
IPC: A47C27/18
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: Multiple varieties of patient support surfaces (10) are presented with a common modular assembly primarily including a perimeter chassis and integrated upper support element.  Perimeter bolsters (14) provide relatively firmer support and facilitate safer transfers and better sitting at the edge of the bed. Pressure redistribution air cylinders (36, 38, 40, 42), turned either longitudinally or laterally, are captured by shaped, slotted inner bolsters (68, 70) and underside arches (88, 90, 92, 94) of an integral foam topper (24). Each foam topper (24) integrally incorporated may include a sloping heel pressure relief section for redistributing load to relatively more pressure-tolerant lower legs and calves. An external valving arrangement for a static non-powered embodiment permits practice of a 'recharging' technique using an air pump (118) and self-calibrated valve (124), to return the air pressure in static air cylinders (36, 38, 40, 42) to their original manufactured specifications.

Title: Reverse acting rupture disc with laser-defined electropolished line of weakness and method of forming the line of weakness
Inventor: KREBILL MICHAEL D
IPC: B65D90/36
Filed: 2006-03-23
Abstract: A reverse acting rupture disc is provided having a laser defined electropolished line- of- weakness recess, and an improved method of forming an electropolished line-of- weakness recess in a reverse acting rupture disc that assures full opening of the disc upon reversal. A rupture disc blank is pre-bulged, final bulged, and then provided with a layer of resist material. A  laser is used to remove at least a portion of the layer of resist material corresponding to a desired line-of-weakness recess in the concave face of the bulged rupture disc. The disc is then subjected to an electropolishing operation to remove metal from the lased area of the rupture disc, thereby forming a lustrous polished line-of-weakness recess in the disc of desired configuration and of a predetermined depth that is related to material thickness. The electropolished line of weakness is defined by spaced opposed channel portions separated by a central raised crown portion wherein the channel portions are of greater depth than the crown portion. The burst/reversal pressure of the disc having an electropolished line-of-weakness recess may be selectively controlled by varying the pre- bulging pressure on the disc.

IPC: F16J15/3204
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: A shaft seal is provided including a seal lip having a load enhancing bead provided at an end thereof. The bead has a triangular-shaped profile that acts to concentrate load to a small location to provide a larger contact pressure at the point of contact. If the bead wears over time, the contact area will slightly increase, but the effect of the bead will be present until completely worn off. The small area of contact also leads to less heat generation in the seal. The load enhancing bead could be applied to all types of radial shaft seals.

Abstract: To achieve proper lubrication, a bearing housing or reservoir is filled with a predetermined amount of lubricant.  When the machine, of which a bearing is a component, is operated, a flexible flinger disc provides proper lubrication by disturbance of the lubricant. A textured and shaped flexible flinger disc, which comprises a disc that is flexible during installation, allows for submersion of the disc into an oil bath. When rotated, the flinger disc disturbs the lubricant within a housing in order to improve lubricant operational characteristics.
