Abstract: A patient support for supporting a patient includes an inflatable mattress defining a support surface and a pneumatic system for inflating the inflatable mattress. The pneumatic system includes a pressurized reservoir for holding pressurized air and selectively releases pressurized air from the reservoir to the mattress.

Abstract: A method of controlling a multi-engine bay in which the following steps are performed: a) controlling the bay so that it delivers desired thrust and each engine is operated in compliance with a set of operating limits for the engine; b) periodically evaluating a level of damage for each of the engines, the level of damage of an engine being information representative of a probability of the engine failing; c) for each engine, periodically evaluating whether its level of damage exceeds a predetermined value; and d) if the level of damage of an engine, referred to as a “damaged” engine, exceeds a predetermined value, modifying at least one operating limit of the damaged engine so that the rate of damage of the damaged engine is less than a predetermined maximum rate of engine damage.

Abstract: A Remote Test Separation (RTS) system comprising an original software product instrumented for testing and a shared memory accessible to the original software product, the shared memory including a plurality of coverage counters. The RTS system further comprising an agent, capable of accessing the shared memory, the agent to read the plurality of coverage counters, the agent to read the plurality of coverage counters at an end of a test, and write coverage data to another memory. The RTS system runs a plurality of tests without interruption, and generates coverage data associated with a plurality of sequential tests and records the associations between lines of code and an associated test.
