Abstract: A method of operating and a laundry treating appliance, including a rotatable drum at least partially defining a treating chamber into which laundry may be placed for treatment according to a cycle of operation, a processor programmed to at least as the laundry is being placed in the treating chamber, at least one of measure, sense, analytically determine, estimate, or receive as an input used to determined a load size. A laundry fill indicator indicates information related to the determined load size.

Abstract: A medical tube holder comprising a face frame assembly, a strap assembly, a holding assembly and an adapter clip. The face frame assembly has a central member with a base with a first end and a second end, and an attachment rail extending therefrom between the ends. The strap assembly is attachable to the face frame assembly and is configured to extend about the head of a patient so as to secure the face frame assembly. The holding assembly includes a base plate, with an arm extending from a proximal end of the base plate and terminating at a transverse channel. The transverse channel is slidably movable along the attachment rail to attach the holding assembly to the face frame. The adapter clip includes a block member attachable to a medical tube, and, is attached to the holding assembly so as to define a maximum spacing therebetween.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for operating a laundry treating appliance to indicate an amount of laundry in a treating chamber are disclosed. An example method includes as laundry is being placed in the treating chamber, illuminating the treating chamber with light, and as the laundry is being placed in the treating chamber, repeatedly adjusting at least one or a color and/or an intensity of the light based on an amount of laundry in the treating chamber.

Abstract: A method of determining a qualitative load size of laundry in a treating chamber of a laundry treating appliance based on both a weight signal from a weight determining device and a volume signal from a volume determining device, each device within the laundry treating appliance.

Abstract: A labor grip mechanism on each side of a main frame of a birthing bed, each labor grip mechanism having a post with a free end and a hand grip mounted on the free end. A first mounting construction is provided for slidably supporting each post for simultaneous movement between a first position wherein the hand grip is stowed underneath the patient support and a second position wherein the hand grip is oriented wholly out from underneath the patient support. A second mounting construction is provided for supporting each post for simultaneous rotational movement between the second position wherein the hand grip is also oriented in a plane beneath the plane of the patient support and a third position wherein the hand grip is oriented in a plane above the plane of the patient support. A hand grip positioning device is provided for facilitating the rotational movement only when the posts are in the aforesaid second or third position.
