Abstract: A system includes a support frame of a foldable playard, and bassinet fabrics attached to the support frame of the playard. The support frame includes a central hub and a plurality of rods, each of the rods having a first end pivotably attached to the central hub and a second, free end opposite the first end. The support frame is configured to enable the bassinet fabrics to fold with the foldable playard.

Abstract: A playard includes a collapsible frame having scissoring members vertically extending and forming sides, the frame lacking horizontal top members, a removable fabric enclosure, the removable fabric enclosure including a removable top portion, and a removable bottom portion, the removable top portion secured to an upper portion of the collapsible frame with an attachment device configured to removably engage corresponding receptacles in the upper collapsible frame.

Abstract: Method for securing a foundation form disposed on a moisture barrier membrane. The method can include penetrating the moisture barrier membrane with one end of a stake, sealing a breach in the moisture barrier membrane around a periphery of the stake caused by the penetrating step, and removing a portion of the stake extending above the moisture barrier membrane. A sealing member can be disposed on the stake at a location along an axial length of the stake.

Abstract: An ASIC (5) has four driver circuits (19a-19d), each with different output power. One of those driver circuits is selected from the content of register (13) on the ASIC. The register content being decoded by a decoder (15) on the ASIC to a signal which activates a single one of the drivers. The register is loaded from an external microprocessor during each initialization of a printer (1) in which the ASIC is a component. The ASIC is designed with the range of the powers of the drivers bracketing the estimated needs of the load to be attached to the ASIC. This permits the ASIC to be completed only once, while the most suitable driver for the final load is determined subsequently and selected by the entry of data to activate that driver into the register with each initialization of the printer. The ASIC need not have nonvolatile memory and only a single set of ASIC masks and other design aspects need be completed.
