Abstract: A person support surface comprises a multitude of inflatable cells. The cells are inflated and deflated to adjust an interface pressure between the person support surface and a person supported by the surface.

Abstract: A system for assisting a person of limited mobility in moving from room to room within a home and performing essential daily activities includes a personal mobility device which includes transfer drivers which engage a transfer system to transition from a first elevation to a second elevation.

Abstract: A chair with articulable support sections and an integrated lift system may have support sections mechanically linked such that a single actuation control device may articulate multiple sections. The chair includes configurable accessories directed to the comfort of an occupant of the chair. The support sections may include air cells to adjust firmness of support section surfaces.

Abstract: An schedule-control method for managing and controlling projects is described. The method is implemented on components including an electronic user interface, relational database, and computational component. These components are designed to process input data in a well-defined format called a receivable/deliverable (rec/del) format. Using this format, the project is broken down into a series of smaller components or "tasks". Each task involves a contract between a supplier and a receiver, and results in the production of a "product". Suppliers and receivers can enter up-to-the-minute input data in the rec/del format concerning a particular product. Input data are entered through the electronic user interface which can be e-mail or a user-interface computer program. Data are entered into tables of the relational database in the rec/del format. The input data are then rapidly processed with the computational component to generate output data indicating the status of the project.

Abstract: Non-fat and reduced fat whipped frozen dessert products wherein part or all of the milk fat, vegetable fat or oil ordinarily incorporated therein is replaced by a proteinaceous macrocolloid of, e.g., denatured whey protein particles or particles having a core of casein surrounded by a shell of denatured egg white protein. Illustrative embodiments include non-fat ice cream analog products having reduced calorie content, enhanced food value due to increased protein content, and possessing the physical and organoleptic character of full fat ice creams. The egg white protein/casein particles can be used also in sauces, dips, spreads, icing and cream pie fillings.
