Patent number: 9138069Abstract: A continuously height adjustable mattress support and apparatus therefor is disclosed. The mattress support is vertically displaceable by means of at least one drive unit for applying a vertical force to a corresponding solely vertically displaceable driven component and is stabilized during vertical displacement by at least one stabilizing means connected thereto. The driven component is connected to, or is in supporting relation with, the mattress support, so that a height of the mattress support above a floor surface is settable and continuously adjustable by means of at least one actuator associated with the at least one drive unit. In one embodiment, a locking device for preventing displacement of the mattress support following inadvertent actuation of the at least one drive unit is employed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: M&J SROUR PROPERTIES LLC.Inventors: Yehuda Cohen, Meir Gitelis

Patent number: 7990546Abstract: A method for characterizing a surface of a sample object, the method including dividing the surface into pixels which are characterized by a parameter variation, and defining blocks of the surface as respective groups of the pixels. The method further includes irradiating the pixels in multiple scans over the surface with radiation having different, respective types of polarization, and detecting returning radiation from the pixels in response to each of the scans. For each scan, respective block signatures of the blocks are constructed, in response to the returning radiation from the group of pixels in each block. Also for each scan, a block signature variation using the respective block signatures of the blocks is determined. In response to the block signature variation, one or more of the types of polarization for use in subsequent examination of a test object are selected.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Applied Materials Israel, Ltd.Inventors: Jeong Ho Yeo, Efrat Rosenman, Erez Ravid, Doron Meshulach, Gadi Greenberg, Kobi Kan, Yehuda Cohen, Shimon Levi

Patent number: 4446025Abstract: Make-up water contaminated with nutrients is pretreated by establishing a stagnant pond of brackish water having an upper wind-mixed layer exposed to solar radiation and of relatively low, uniform salinity, an intermediate halocline whose salinity increases monotonically with depth, and a lower collection layer of relatively high, uniform salinity. Make-up water contaminated with nutrients is added to the wind-mixed layer wherein the nutrients support the growth of photosynthetic microbes. The wind-mixed layer is provided with Artemia salina (brine shrimp) that feed on the photosynthetic microbes growing in the wind-mixed layer and extrude fecal pellets of a density in excess of the density of at least the upper layer of the pond, whereby the pellets sink below the wind-mixed layer, and preferably to the collection layer. Upward diffusion from the collection layer into the wind-mixed layer of the disintegrated constituents of the fecal pellets is suppressed by reason of the stratified nature of the halocline.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1982Date of Patent: May 1, 1984Assignee: Solmat Systems Ltd.Inventors: Gad Assaf, Yehuda Cohen
