Abstract: An inflatable patient support includes a top panel defining a first perimeter and a bottom panel defining a second perimeter. The second perimeter of the bottom panel is coupled to the first perimeter of the top panel. An internal wall is coupled between the top panel and the bottom panel to define a first chamber and a second chamber. The internal wall defines at least one passage therethrough that allows fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber are inflatable.

Abstract: A multi-cell inflatable jack includes a plurality of jack elements. Each of the plurality of jack elements includes a body having a predetermined perimeter shape and defining a perimeter chamber and a central chamber. A valve is coupled to the body and configured to provide air flow to one of the perimeter chamber or the central chamber. A plurality of flow control stringers are located between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion and are configured to control an air flow rate into each of the perimeter chamber and the central chamber. At least one fastener is formed on the body and configured to attach the jack element to at least one additional jack element in a multi-cell stack.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for using a layer performance metric (LPM) during integrated circuit (IC) design are described. Some embodiments can compute an LPM value for at least one timing path in the IC design, wherein the LPM value is equal to a ratio between a wire length of the timing path and a delay of the timing path. Next, the embodiments can use the LPM value of the timing path to perform at least one of placement, routing, or optimization of the timing path.

Abstract: A fill-placement method, according to which symmetrical fill patterns are used to insert fill tiles into one or more interconnect levels corresponding to symmetrical circuitry. The fill-placement method can be used, for example, in the fabrication of an integrated circuit having at least two complementary portions for which relatively tight circuit-matching requirements need to be met.

Abstract: An adjustable quick mounting system to be used with fixed position tree stands or similar support platforms, often found used for hunting or other outdoor activities. The adjustable mounting system includes a mounting base, detention hooks, and locking pin. The mounting base is connected securely to a tree or pole using a ratchet strap, cable or similar attachment device. The detention hooks are attached to tree stand or platform, preferably on the vertical support(s). The detention hooks are then engaged onto the mounting base by placing the open end of the detention hooks over the top portion of the mounting base. The mounting base has elongated slots manufactured into the design to allow the detention hooks to seat securely onto the base to prevent shifting of the base. The top surface of the mounting base has integrated tabs which are bent up and drilled to accept the locking pin.
