  • Publication number: 20070108829
    Abstract: In the past, a posterior transfer was only an option using zipper back sling upholstery. The removable swing away solid wheelchair back offers multiple ways to transfer while preventing orthopedic, neuromotor, and respiratory complications from wheelchair positioning. By mounting the swing away removable solid wheelchair back at a slight angle, the rib cage, lungs, and diaphragm are opened making breathing easier when the respiratory system is compromised.

  • Publication number: 20060028666
    Abstract: A multifunction image processing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a communications module, a scan subsystem, a print subsystem, and a digital signal processor (DSP) block. The communications module is used to communicate with a host computer to send and receive image data files. The scan subsystem is used to scan images. The print subsystem is used to print images. The DSP block includes at least two digital signal processors. The digital signal processors can be programmed to symmetrically multiprocess portions of an image data file to process it more quickly. Alternatively, digital signal processors can be programmed to simultaneously process the image data for the scan subsystem and image data for the print subsystem.
