Patent number: 8479327Abstract: The invention is a support device for lifting and transporting a patient or other type of load. The support device has a frame mounted on a support base equipped with wheels and a brake. Long handles are attached to the frame, to provide a significant mechanical advantage to an operator. Lifting the handles tilts the frame on the support base and brings it down close to the load to be lifted. A lifting support, such as a seat or a sling, is secured around the load and the lifting support coupled to the frame. The operator moves the lifting handles back to a home position, thereby lifting the load. The lifting handles and wheels allow the operator to guide the support device to a desired location, to lower a patient to a chair or a bed or to move a load to a new location.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Standaid Corporation, Inc.Inventor: Michael McKenney

Publication number: 20070210958Abstract: An apparatus and method allow receivers to quickly acquire a pseudorandom noise signal. A receiver advantageously detects frequency shifts using a compact parallel process hardware implementation of a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The simultaneous detection of multiple frequencies allows the receiver to search the frequency range of the transmitted signal in larger increments of frequency, thereby increasing the speed of acquisition. One receiver does not use coherent integration before computation of the transform and advantageously maintains a flat frequency response. The flat frequency response of the DFT circuit enables searching of multiple frequency offsets without CPU intensive processing to compensate for frequency response variations. A receiver can include a Doppler correction circuit, which permits correlation data with frequency shift in the code to be non-coherently integrated among relatively fewer addresses or tap positions in memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: INTERSTATE ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Van Wechel, Michael McKenney

Patent number: 6588698Abstract: This invention provides a winding machine comprising a support drum, a winding tube at least partially supported on the support drum, and a web of material being wound around the winding tube to form a web reel in response to rotation of the support drum and the web reel, the point where the web reel rotates into contact with the support drum being called the nip. The winding machine further includes a nip safety guard comprising a finger presence sensor, a support mechanism supporting the finger presence sensor adjacent one of the web reel and the support drum, and a moving mechanism that moves and locates the finger presence sensor support mechanism depending on the size of the web reel so that the finger presence sensor is located closely adjacent the one of the web reel and the support drum and spaced a safe distance from the nip. The safety guard moving mechanism further includes a control for determining the size of the web reel and operating the moving mechanism to position the finger sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2001Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: GL&V Management Hungary kftInventors: Donald Gangemi, Thomas Hitchko, J.

Patent number: 5357640Abstract: A dressing-aid-and-transfer device for assisting attendants and patients in moving and dressing. The device includes a space frame with support legs of the space frame defining a device perimeter. A chest support is provided to support the weight of the patient being moved. The space frame is designed so as to provide a stable and lightweight transferral device that is transportable and easy for a single person to operate. The support legs and reinforcing cross-pieces are configured to provide structurally stability without interfering with an attendant's ability to easily remove and place clothing on a patient's lower body. The support legs pivot at the base of the space frame in order to reduce the force required to transfer a patient to and from a sitting position. Optional features include a rotatable base and the use of actuators to reduce the effort required to tilt the space frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1993Date of Patent: October 25, 1994Assignee: McKenney GroupInventors: Michael A.
