Abstract: The invention relates to a sleeping means which can be moved between the storage and in-usc conditions. The sleeping means typically comprise a deformable mattress which is inflatable and which can be located within with an envelope formed of sheet material and. attached to the sheet material is a cover portion which, with the sheet material of the mattress define a sleeping area into which a person can move. Thc cover portion can be permanently attached to the sleeping means but further edges of the same can be selectively attached using zips or other fastening means. An additional portion of sheet material can be provided which can be selectively used to act as a storage pocket.

Abstract: A foam-core fabric-covered headrest snaps in place over the top tube of the frame of any of a wide variety of lawn or beach furniture. The core is a resilient foam cylinder into which is cut or molded a radially directed longitudinal slit leading to a cylindrical axial channel. A cylindrically looped one-piece fabric shell covers the side surface of the foam core--slit, channel and all. Preferably, a tether is provided with which to secure the device to the chair frame. The tether prevents accidental dislodging of the device while the chair is being transported. It also tends to discourage theft and other forms of inadvertent loss.

Abstract: A system for producing integrated circuit devices includes first and second integrated circuit processing stations. The first station produces an output stream of individual, separate devices for delivery to the second station. A drum buffer receives the individual devices from the first station, selectively stores the individual devices, and dispenses the stored devices on a substantially last-in first-out basis to the second station. The drum buffer includes a plurality of device carrying channels axially along the length of the drum to receive the devices being selectively stored by filling the respective channels as the drum is rotatably indexed in one direction, and to empty the stored devices from the respective channels as the drum is rotatably indexed in an opposite direction.
