  • Patent number: 9433550
    Abstract: A traction bed includes (a) a frame upon which an individual is supportable, (b) a first single-sided lever arm pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate both a first end of the frame and a first side of the frame, wherein the first single-sided lever arm is configured to be coupled to an arm of an individual, (c) a second single-sided lever arm pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate both a second end of the frame and the first side of the frame, wherein the second single-sided lever arm is configured to be coupled to a leg of an individual, and (d) a control system operable to direct a force onto each of the single-sided lever arms to pivot the single-sided lever arms relative to the frame, wherein the force directed to the first single-sided lever arm is separately variable from the force directed to the second single-sided lever arm.

  • Patent number: 9114051
    Abstract: A traction bed includes a frame upon which an individual is supportable, first and second lever arms pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate a first end of the frame and configured to be coupled to the individual's upper torso, third and fourth lever arms pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate a second end of the frame and configured to be coupled to the individual's pelvis or pelvic region, and a control system operable to direct a force onto each of the lever arms to pivot the lever arms relative to the frame. The force directed to the first and third lever arms is separately variable from the force directed to the second and fourth lever arms to provide differential traction on the individual's body.

  • Publication number: 20040059504
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to automatically prevent aircraft collisions. An aircraft control system receives internal aircraft data from aircraft sensors and external aircraft data received by radios or transponders. The internal and external aircraft data is provided as input data to at least three microprocessor based central processing units that process the input data and generate recommended control signals. The recommended control signals are received by a control that determines a resultant control signal that is sent to the cockpit and/or a transmitter. If the control is disabled, a backup control determines a resultant control signal that is sent to the cockpit and/or a transmitter. The cockpit outputs the control signal and passes the control signal through a filter. The filter determines if no action is to be taken or if adjustments are to be made to aircraft flight control surfaces and/or the engine.
