Abstract: An adjustable bed system includes a first frame having four actuators coupled thereto and disposed between the head and foot ends thereof. The actuators define a generally-rectangular configuration wherein first and third actuators are diagonally-opposed and wherein second and fourth actuators are diagonally-opposed. A second frame coupled to the first frame includes a first section secured to the first frame, a second section pivotably coupled to the first section towards the head end of the first frame, and a third section pivotably coupled to the first section towards the foot end of the first frame. The first and third actuators are coupled to the second and third sections, respectively, for articulating the second and third sections, respectively. First and second leg assemblies are coupled to the second and fourth actuators, respectively, for selectively raising and lowering the first frame.

Abstract: A fluid compressor 10 comprising a stator 22, having a bore shaped first chamber 26 and an annular second chamber 30, and a piston 18 comprising a central piston rod 36 having a first piston head 44 and a concentrically arranged cylindrical piston sleeve 38 having a second piston head 48. The stator 22 and piston 18 together define a first compression chamber 12, a second compression chamber 14 provided concentrically around the first chamber 12, and a third compression chamber 16 provided concentrically around the first chamber 12 and linearly with the second chamber 14. The compression chambers 12, 14, 16 are interconnected via intercooling conduits 72, 74. A hydraulic actuator 20 is coupled to the piston 18 by a hydraulic ram 82. During left to right movement of the piston 18 fluid enters the third chamber 16 and fluid is compressed in the second chamber 14.

Abstract: A device and system for inserting at least a portion of a first edible material into an interior of a food product is provided. The device includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the body having an axis, and a plunger associated with the body and adapted to move along the axis. The device also includes a spring adapted to urge the plunger along the axis toward the second end, and at least one hollow cylindrical head adapted to be removably mounted to the first end of the body. A first end of the plunger is adapted to move into an interior of the head mounted to the first end of the body when the plunger is moved against the urging of the spring toward the first end of the body. A method of changing heads of an apparatus is provided.

Abstract: A box part is provided with an eight panel base and sides reinforced with a four-sided, open bottom insert. The box part is constructed by forming a planar four panel subassembly and a tray-like subassembly having four panels and side sections, from a single blank. The insert is received within the tray-like subassembly. The planar subassembly is then folded over the side of the insert and placed into the tray-like subassembly.

Abstract: A product display device having an enclosure member and an insert member situated there within. The enclosure member has opposing front and rear walls with at least the front wall being formed of transparent or translucent material. The insert member has a transparent or translucent display wall situated intermediate the front wall and the rear wall and includes a device for associating the product to be displayed therewith. Graphics are provided on the front, rear and display walls such that the product, when associated with the intermediate display wall, appears to be situated in a three-dimensional display.
