Abstract: Provides quantitative data about a two or more dimensional image. Classifies and counts number of entities an image contains. Each entity comprises a structure, or some other type of identifiable portion having definable characteristics. The entities located within an image may have different shape, color, texture, etc., but still belong to the same classification. Alternatively, entities comprising a similar color/texture may be classified as one type while entities comprising a different color/texture may be classified as another type. May quantify image data according to set of changing criteria and derive one or more classifications for entities in image. I.e., provides a way for a computer to determine what kind of entities (e.g., entities) are in image and counts total number of entities visually identified in image. Information utilized during a training process may be stored and applied across different images.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a process and related apparatus for obtaining quantitative data about a 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional image, or other dimensional image. For example, the invention is capable of classifying and counting the number of entities an image contains. Each entity comprises an entity, structure, or some other type of identifiable portion of the image having definable characteristics. The entities located within an image may have a different shape, color, texture, or other definable characteristic, but still belong to the same classification. In other instances, entities comprising a similar color, and texture may be classified as one type while entities comprising a different color, and texture may be classified as another type. An image may contain multiple entities and each entity may belong to a different class.

Abstract: A phased array, phase-amplitude monopulse antenna arrangement for ground, shipboard or airborne radar systems. The phased array antenna is systematically warped and projects partially overlapping, separate beams from upper and lower regions of the array. A single set of phase-shifters is employed with a simplified feed structure to permit development of both azimuthal and elevation angle error signals in signal processing circuitry for target analysis.

Abstract: A bed has a mattress with a plurality of inflatable air sacs, a low-pressure compressed air blower, a pressure control system, and pipes for carrying gas from the blower to the sacs. A transport sheet extends over the air sacs and is attached to rollers at the ends of the bed. By winding the transport sheet on one roller and unwinding it from another roller, a patient can be moved across the bed and partly onto a wheelchair with its back rest removed. A lift mechanism on the bed raises the person to a seated position on the wheelchair, and the back rest is replaced behind the person.

Abstract: A reclinable wheelchair which operates in conjunction with a compatibly equipped bed to transport a prone person between the bed and the reclined wheelchair alongside the bed. The back rest can be raised and the leg rest of the wheelchair can be lowered to place the person in a sitting position. Provisions are included for use with a toilet.

Abstract: An arrangement of a wheelchair with a movable seat and leg rest and a bed equipped with transfer apparatus provided with rollers, a movable sheet and lift arms, for transporting an invalid comfortably across the bed to a sitting position in the wheelchair. The invalid can also be transferred to a standing position at the end of the bed.

Abstract: A transfer system including a transfer module that operates in conjunction with a compatibly equipped bed and a standard wheelchair to transport a person from a supine position on the bed to a seated position on the wheelchair.

Abstract: An arrangement of a wheelchair with a movable seat and leg rest and a bed equipped with transfer apparatus provided with rollers, a movable sheet and lift arms, for transporting a patient comfortably across the bed to a sitting position in the wheelchair.

Abstract: Apparatus used in conjunction with a bed and having rollers and a transfer sheet to transport a patient over the bed and partially onto a horizontal seat of a wheelchair. The patient is then raised to a normal seated position, without requiring any effort on the part of the patient. The patient can also be transported to a sitting position at the end of the bed, or to a standing position on the floor. The apparatus is arranged for installation on existing hospital or home-type beds so that a patient can be comfortably transported to a seated position on a wheelchair, commode, surface, or to a seated or standing position at the end of the bed.

Abstract: An arrangement for removing a blanket from a bed to clear the bed for transferring a person. The person lies on a transport sheet, and a cover sheet extends across and above the transport sheet and person. The cover sheet is removably fastened to a lift member in vicinity of a side of the bed. The lift member is operated by a motor to remove the cover sheet. The motor is controllable to remove or replace the cover sheet.

Abstract: An arrangement for transferring a supine patient longitudinally or laterally between beds or surfaces adapted to accept the patient in a supine position. The arrangement is adapted to function with a conventional or hospital-type bed. It includes apparatus for transferring a collapsible bathtub or a bedsore prevention pad onto said bed and transferring a patient onto and off these devices.

Abstract: An arrangement for the prevention of bedsores on invalids confined to bed, in which the bed can be tilted toward either side for shifting the weight distribution of a patient to promote circulation of the blood and thereby prevent the development of bedsores. A reversible motor drives a ball nut through a worm screw so that motion of the ball nut in one direction raises one side of the bed frame, and motion in an opposite direction raises the opposite side of the bed frame.
