Abstract:
A dynamic support apparatus. The dynamic support apparatus includes a cushion, at least one actuator wherein the at least one actuator defines an interior volume and wherein the interior volume may be configured to be at least partially filled with a fluid, and a support disposed in the interior volume wherein the support configured to support an occupant when the interior volume is not filled with the fluid such that the support is sufficient to support the occupant.

Claim (Index 1):
A dynamic support apparatus comprising:\n a cushion; at least one actuator wherein the at least one actuator defines an interior volume and wherein the interior volume configured to be at least partially filled with a fluid and the at least one actuator attached to an actuator fluid conduit in communication with the interior volume; a fluid pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet; a rotary valve including a stationary portion and a rotor, the rotor being a planar body having transversely disposed flow paths recessed into each of a first face and a second face of the rotor, wherein the first face is opposingly situated with respect to the second face, the flow paths terminating in valve fluid ports; and a processor for commanding a motor to rotate the rotor to at least\n a first position in which the pump inlet is in fluid communication with the atmosphere through the valve and the pump outlet is in fluid communication with the actuator fluid conduit through the valve, \n a second position in which the pump inlet is in communication with the actuator fluid conduit via the valve and the pump outlet is in communication with the atmosphere via the valve, and \n a third position in which the actuator fluid conduit is in communication with the atmosphere via the valve.
