Abstract: Garments for medical or assisted living use are disclosed. A garment embodiment includes a fabric body core element having a front side and a back side, two fabric arm elements, each attached at a proximal end to an upper area of the body core element on the left and right sides, two fabric dignity panels attached to sides of the body core element to extend partially across the back side of the core section so as to at least partially cover a user's back when worn, and a fabric lower pocket attached to the back side of the body core element at a lower section of the core element.

Abstract: Refrigeration doors are disclosed having multiple glass panes with sealed air spaces between the panes. The air space can be filled with one or more inert gasses in high concentrations, and the surfaces of the panes can have different combinations of Low-E layers. In some embodiments, the inert gas can be used in concentrations up to 98% and the Low-E layers can be included on the inside surfaces of the glass panes. The gas and Low-E layer combinations give the refrigeration doors the desired visual and thermal characteristics. The present invention can be used with refrigerator doors, but it is understood that it can also be used in different doors used in different applications, and can also be use in windows.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling various and different movements of a door, said apparatus having a door hinge assembly with a hinge pin having a plurality of bearing surfaces to reduce stress and wear on a hinge pin housing, a torque mechanism for pre-torquing and torquing a hinged door, a door leveling mechanism that operates at the top of the door while the door remains closed, and a semi-automated mechanism that holds the door 90 degrees open and releases the door for closing by said torque mechanism.

Abstract: A display case lighting system having a lens positioned inside a display case adjacent a light source inside the case for directing light across a viewing plane within the case and reducing contrasting illumination of items displayed within the viewing plane.

Abstract: An integral machine for polishing, cleaning, rinsing and drying workpieces such as semiconductor wafers. A load/unload station has a plurality of platforms for receiving cassettes of wafers to be processed. A dry end-effector of a robot retrieves wafers from the cassettes and transfers them to an index table. A transfer apparatus having wafer carrier elements picks up wafers from the index table, moves the wafers to a polishing table for polishing, and returns the wafers to the index table for further processing. A flipper moves the polished wafers to a cleaning station. The cleaning station includes scrub stations, a rinsing station and a spin dryer station, and a connective system of water tracks. A wet end-effector of the robot transfers rinsed wafers to the spin dryer station. The dry end-effector of the robot moves dried wafers from the spin dryer station back to the cassette of origination.

Abstract: A display case having lenses mounted in the case that distribute or direct light emitted by fluorescent tubes located near the ends of display shelves toward the shelves in order to provide a more uniform light distribution along the length of the shelves. The lenses facilitate the illumination of items placed on the shelves near the front and middle of the shelves. Light-directing portions of the lenses distribute or direct light emitted from the fluorescent tubes located inside the lenses toward the display case shelves. In another embodiment of the display case, the lenses are mounted horizontally inside the case, and used to direct light toward the interior of the case and toward the shelves inside the case. In still another embodiment of the display case, the lenses are mounted vertically inside the case and at the corners of the case.
