  • Patent number: 9498664
    Abstract: A foot/leg/arm rest that is fully height and width adjustable. In addition, support cups can be positioned over a wide range of fixed angles to accommodate any user. The supports have a wide base that provides strong, firm and stable support for the device when it is used. The invention has two horizontal end members and a central connecting track. Two vertical post supports are positioned in the track and are slidably installed so that they can be positioned at any desired location within the track. In fact, one of the posts can be removed if desired so that only one post is in use. Each post is height adjustable independent of the other. This allows that supports to be positioned at two different levels, if desired. Each post has a support secured to it using a bracket that can be set to a wide range of angles.

  • Publication number: 20060071774
    Abstract: An item monitoring system and method of using an item monitoring system. The present invention relates more particularly to an item monitoring system including a sensor, that senses a plurality of items in a first amount of space associated with the sensor and that senses both items containing metal and items containing no metal, a communications network, and a computer that receives information from the sensor through the communications network. The present invention also relates more particularly to a method of monitoring items to determine the number of items within a first amount of space associated with the sensor.
