Abstract: A laminated support for pressure-relief comprising multiple foam layers. The combinations of layers can comprise one or more layers of visco-elastic foam, highly resilient polyurethane foam, reticulated filter polyurethane foam, and the like.

Abstract: A cushion having an elastic core and a pillow top layer or portion. The elastic core can have one or more layers of foam to provide varying degrees of cushioning and support. The pillow top layer is positioned adjacent to the elastic core and includes a plurality of strips. Any number of strips can form the pillow top layer. The strips can all have the same density or the density can vary among the strips to provide comfort zones. The pillow top layer can be connected to the elastic core in a variety of ways, such as through the use of a common cover or separate covers joined together.

Abstract: An interactive bed display for use in a retail setting to provide product information to a person, the interactive bed display comprising a bed including a mattress adapted to support the person, and a self-contained audio/video unit positioned to encourage the person to lie on the mattress such that the person is in a position to experience the benefits of the mattress, wherein the self-contained audio/video unit includes multiple stored audio/video segments and is adapted to receive an input generated from the person on the mattress, and wherein the self-contained audio/video unit is adapted to deliver at least one of the multiple stored audio/video segments to the person on the mattress based on the input.

Abstract: A laminated support for pressure-relief comprising an upper layer of visco-elastic foam, a middle layer of visco-elastic foam having a greater hardness, and a bottom layer of highly resilient polyurethane foam. These layers are sandwiched between two layers of reticulated filter polyurethane foam.

Abstract: A healthcare management program designed to reduce the risk of having adverse outcomes, and the costs of liability associated with those adverse outcomes, during the provision of healthcare. The management program is provided by a healthcare vendor to a healthcare provider for a fixed fee. The management program includes a plan of care that defines protocols to utilize during the provision of care to customers, documentation tools that provide evidence of the treatment and progress of each customer, and indemnity instruments which distribute the risks associated with the provision of care between the healthcare provider and the healthcare vendor.

Abstract: A cushion having an underlying polyurethane foam or flexible layer which includes a non-plane surface, and an overlying visco-elastic foam layer positioned adjacent to the non-plane surface of the underlying layer, the cushion being adapted for suitably supporting a load, such as a human body, positioned thereon.

Abstract: A pillow having a pivoting butterfly structure with two cushions pivotably interconnected by a hinge element to pivot between an open position and a closed position. Each cushion has a hinge end adjacent the hinge element, and a connecting end disposed at the end of the cushion opposite the hinge end. A middle portion is located between the hinge end and connecting end of each cushion. The cushions have a relatively flat inner surface and a curved contoured surface that extend the length of each cushion. The contoured surface projects away from the inner surface and forms two peaks near the hinge end and connecting end of each cushion. Between the peaks, the contoured surface curves inward back toward the inner surface and forms a concave groove near the middle portion of each cushion. A cover encases both cushions and contours the shapes of the cushions.
