Abstract: A container having a canister can be configured to retain a volume of liquid. The canister can be sealed by a lid structure, and the lid structure can have a spout opening. The spout opening may be sealed by a removably-coupled cap. Further, the cap may have a magnetic top surface configured to magnetically couple to a recess on the top surface of the lid for temporary storage of the cap when manually removed from the spout opening.

Abstract: The invention discloses an isolated phase IPM (interior permanent magnet) machine having alternating opposite permanent magnetic poles and a stator with one less number of teeth than the rotor poles. The stator teeth are of uniform width in the radial direction and are separated by stator slots of uniform width. The slots accommodate concentrated armature coils surrounding the teeth and forming a plurality of electrical phase groups. In one embodiment all the teeth are of the same width.

Abstract: A powered wheeled carriage includes a patient support and a wheeled base. An auxiliary wheel mechanism includes an auxiliary wheel spring support for biasing an auxiliary wheel into contact with a floor. Operating a control apparatus moves the auxiliary wheel away from the floor. A drive handle pivots about a single axis to control a drive motor that powers the auxiliary wheel. The drive handle controls driving of the wheeled carriage in forward and rearward directions. A decision/drive circuit ramps the speed of the wheeled carriage for a few second after start-up to prevent a jerking motion. A display/control panel displays the condition of the carriage brake and the condition of the auxiliary wheel to assist an operator.

Abstract: Upright stanchions with supports for removable horizontal safety rails have bottom end portions supported on base units that, in turn, are secured to wall framing from the inside of the framing.
