Abstract: An adjustable hospital bed for laterally positioning a patient includes a support frame having a top end and a bottom end, a plurality of wheels secured to the bottom end of the support frame, and a body pad having a head end and a foot end and a plurality of back pad mortises around its periphery. The bed also includes a back pad having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a plurality of back pad tenons that extend from the bottom edge and are removably inserted into the plurality of back pad mortises of the body pad to support the back pad on its bottom edge at an angle relative to the body pad. In addition, the bed includes a linear actuator configured to lift the head end of the body pad and a tilt adjustment mechanism configured to laterally tilt the body pad.

Abstract: The invention relates to a non-volatile, static random access memory (nvSRAM) device that addresses the consequence of a manufacturing defect that occasionally occurs during mass production of the nvSRAM device and if not addressed, reduces the yield of the production process. The consequence of the defect is termed a store disturb because the execution of a store operation in a defective nvSRAM causes the bit of data retained in the SRAM portion and, in some cases, the nv portion of the nvSRAM to be instable or corrupted. The present invention provides an nvSRAM device in which the controller provides modified signals to the nvSRAM memory portion of the device that address the store disturb phenomena and, as a consequence, improve the yield of the manufacturing process.

Abstract: A tool for scraping an edge of a flat article, the tool comprising a first flat surface defining a first plane, a second flat surface defining a second plane at right angles to the first plane, and a cutting blade mounted at or near one end of the second flat surface, the plane of the blade being perpendicular to both the first plane and the second plane.
