Hose end sprayer

A mattress includes a plurality of air cells. Each cell has a low air permeability envelope and a foam inflation structure that defines one or more voids inside the low air permeability envelope. The foam inflation structures expand when unloaded to cause inflation of the one or more voids. When unloaded, the ratio of the volume of the foam inflation structure to the volume of the one or more voids within the low air permeability envelope is not the same in all the cells.

Self inflating air mattress

A pneumatic lift including inflatable mattresses stacked one atop another and arranged in air flow communication with one another, but with each being independently deflatable.

Pneumatic lift with unidirectional valve

A mattress has cells with low air permeability envelopes. Check valves permit air flow into cell groups. An inflation structure expands within the cells when not loaded to cause the envelope to fill with air through the check valves. Another mattress has a cell with a primary bladder, a hollow inflation structure in the primary bladder, a secondary bladder in the hollow inflation structure. The inflation structure expands when not under load to cause the primary bladder to fill with air through the check valve. An air cell has a bladder, a check valve permitting air flow to the bladder, and an inflation structure that expands in the bladder when not under load to cause the bladder to fill with air through the check valve. The inflation structure is a cylindrical foam structure with a portion removed along a surface and a D-shaped hollow space within an upper portion thereof.

A device for post-operative monitoring by telephone the condition of patients having peripheral arterial occlusive disease. A first embodiment of the device includes an inflatable cuff incorporating a piezo electric film element which generates a signal of varying amplitude. A pressure sensor communicating with the cuff allows transmission of the signal only at a pre-determined cuff pressure. The signal is frequency modulated and transmitted through a modem over the telephone line of the patient to the office of the physician, where it is demodulated to provide a varying direct current for operating a chart recorder. Usage of the device need require only five to ten minutes a day, and the patient can telephone the office of the physician prior to transmission of the signal to identify the patient. In a second embodiment, the piezo electric signal is substituted by a pneumatically generated signal.
