Abstract: An air system for a bed can include a layer assembly having a head end, a foot end, and first and second sides, with a head portion near the head end, a foot portion near the foot end, and a middle portion between the head portion and the foot portion, the layer assembly. The layer assembly can have a spacer layer comprising spacer material configured to allow for air flow through the spacer material and a cover comprising a cover top layer and a cover bottom layer. The air system can have a distribution manifold that is substantially fan-shaped with a plurality of ribs defining channels and/or is positioned above the cover bottom layer and under the spacer layer. The air system can have first and second flaps with first and second retention features extending from the head and foot ends of the air layer.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of processes for the generation of thin inorganic films on substrates, in particular atomic layer deposition processes. The present invention relates to a process comprising bringing a compound of general formula (I) into the gaseous or aerosol state and depositing the compound of general formula (I) from the gaseous or aerosol state onto a solid substrate, wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independent of each other an alkyl group, an aryl group or a trialkylsilyl group, M is Mn, Ni or Co, X is a ligand which coordinates M, wherein at least one X is a neutrally charged ligand, m is 1, 2 or 3 and n is at least 1 wherein the molecular weight of the compound of general formula (I) is up to 1000 g/mol.

Abstract: A bed can include one or more connectors for connecting components of the bed. For example, a frame can include a fastening mechanism for releasably connecting a cross-member to a longitudinal support. Another example includes connectors for connecting and aligning a foundation with a frame.

Abstract: Two male guides protrude up from a dock and the bottom of a portable computer is formed with parallel female channels configured to receive the guides in a drop-down docking configuration. Accordingly, a user can slide the portable computer side-to-side across the male guides until the guides are tactiley detected by the user to be in the channels. The user then slides the portable computer back until the computer connector drops into engagement with the dock connector.

Abstract: An apparatus for enabling part picking in a manufacturing facility comprises a conveyor 30 for transporting containers each bearing a barcode defining a plurality of parts to be placed in the container and, disposed at intervals along the conveyor, a plurality of barcode readers 26, a plurality of part storage racks 34, and a plurality of display screens 36. A control system 44, 46, 48 can selectively assign the code readers, storage racks and display screens to one or more zones each including at least one active barcode reader, at least one active display screen and at least one storage rack. In operation the control system displays on at least one display screen of each zone the parts to be picked from the at least one storage rack according to the barcode read by the at least one active scanner.
