Patent number: 10306994Abstract: The invention provides an adjustable bed comprising a frame (20) and at least one adjustable body support section including at least an adjustable backrest support section (12) pivotally mounted for angular adjustment with respect to the frame. The frame comprises at least two hinged sections (20a, 20b) including a head end sub-assembly configured as an upper body supporting section on which the backrest support section is mounted, and a separate toe end sub-assembly configured as a lower body supporting section hinged with respect to the upper body supporting section. Actuator means (40) is disposed within at least the upper body section for angular adjustment of the adjustable body support section. The head end sub-assembly and the toe end sub-assembly are capable of being folded together to reduce the length dimension of the bed for transportation and/or storage purposes and subsequently unfolded to provide a full length adjustable bed.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: HHC CHANGZHOU CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen Allen Barr, Paul Daniel Brown

Patent number: 4657047Abstract: Modular circulating and dead end color changers are made from synthetic materials inert to chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents. Universal supply and return manifolds have relatively smooth and uninterrupted walls defined, in part, by inlet and return valve surfaces, for easy solvent flow cleaning. Circulating high pressure color changes have improved actuators and circulating means including bypass lines for continuously recirculating both selected and non-selected paints. Valve sealing is enhanced by improved valves and pressure drop across each module is minimized by modular construction regardless of the number of modules used.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1984Date of Patent: April 14, 1987Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventor: James A.

Patent number: 4419572Abstract: There is provided a calculator for calculating check digits which are obtained from code numbers according to a modulus 10, modulus 11 or the like check. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the desired check digit original numerals are indicated in response to the determination of a code number and weights and the desired check digit is readily obtained from the sum of the check digit original numerals. In accordance with another embodiment, the desired check digit is directly indicated in response to the setting of a code number. In accordance with still another improved embodiment, the desired check digit according to the modulus 10 and that according to the modulus 11 are selectively indicated in response to the setting of a code number.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1980Date of Patent: December 6, 1983Assignees: Tokyo Keiki Company Ltd., Totec Co. Ltd.Inventors: Mutsumi Takahashi, Toshio Uwabe, Toshio Nagase, Shosuke Sato, Hideshi Matsuzawa

Patent number: 4037084Abstract: A decompression calculator for calculating safe and efficient diving schedules utilizing unequal time constants for uptake and elimination of inert gas in the diver's tissues. Scales are provided to calculate a safe decompression stop for a single stage decompression and the time of decompression required where the working depth, the initial depth and the bottom time are known. Decompression times for staged decompression dives may also be calculated.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1976Date of Patent: July 19, 1977Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Ali A. Seireg, Amr M. S. Baz
