Method and apparatus for upgrading a patient support apparatus to include an integrated patient therapy device

A mattress support includes a first section and a second section configured to be coupled to the first section. Each of the first section and the second section includes a base plate configured to be positioned on a box frame of a bed. A top plate is pivotable relative to the base plate. A bladder structure is positioned between the base plate and the top plate and inflatable to adjust a height of the top plate.

Method and apparatus for upgrading a bed to include moveable components

An apparatus for remote at-home care of a patient is disclosed. The apparatus monitors a patient with a deployable sensor system and communicates the data sensed by the sensor system to a patient care hub located within a patient's home. A patient interface and a caregiver controller are in wireless communication with each other and the patient care hub. The patient care hub generates an alert(s) in view of the sensed data and wirelessly communicates the alert(s) to the patient interface and/or the caregiver controller.

Patient care system for a home environment

The present disclosure is related to a bed assembly. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a bed assembly that is compatible with a traditional consumer bed and can enhance the traditional consumer bed so it provides features of a traditional hospital bed. The bed assembly of the present disclosure may include pneumatic components to move portions of the bed assembly.

Structures for causing movement of elements of a bed

A modular system is usable to vary the conditions around a bed in a home to provide various levels of support for patients who are at home and have varying acuity of medical complications. The modular system allows the home bed to be temporarily adapted for medical care.

Mattress support for adding hospital bed modular control system for upgrading a bed to include movable components

A mattress support includes a base plate configured to be positioned on a box spring of a bed. A bladder may be coupled to a top surface of the base plate. A top plate is coupled to a top surface of the bladder. A top surface of the top plate is configured to support a mattress. The bladder is inflatable to adjust a height of the top plate.

A multi-layer printable thermoplastic film consisting of at least a fluoride polymer film having laminated thereto a polycarbonate film. The printable film is preformed (vacuum molding or thermoforming) and then inserted into a mold which has the configuration of the preformed printable film. A base layer of a thermoplastic such as a polycarbonate resin is injection molded to the exposed surface of the preformed printable film. The molded structure has exterior automotive applications such as lens, etc.

Insert mold decorating film for thermoplastic resin and methods for making

A product and a method for producing a product consisting of a thermoplastic substrate having a cured coating thereon. The coating consists of the ultra-violet radiation cured product of a brominated epoxy acrylate oligomer, a polyfunctional acrylate monomer, a silicone hard coat and a photoinitiator. The coated thermoplastic substrate has a low birefringence (&#x3c;25 nm), and a low delta refractive index between the coating and thermoplastic substrate and a smooth upper surface having a gloss of at least 90% and a surface roughness of about 10.0 &#x3bc;m or less. In order to obtain such a product, the thermoplastic substrate must be prepared by first producing a substrate having a smooth lower surface and a textured upper surface to which is applied the curable coating. A thermoplastic substrate, particularly an aromatic polycarbonate substrate, is prepared by passing a heated substrate between a pair of rolls wherein the upper roll has a textured surface and the lower roll has a smooth polished surface.

Coated thermoplastic film substrate

An apparatus for producing a thermoplastic film having low-birefringent, low stress and at least one polished surface for optical media applications as well as low stress film for non-optical applications using a continuous extrusion process. The apparatus consists of a novel calendering roll in a calendering roll stack wherein, at least one roll consists of an inner steel shell, a resilient covering over the inner steel roll and a multi-layer metal sleeve outer covering of at least two layers. The metal sleeve preferably consists of three layers. The inner layer of the multi-layer outer sleeve is preferably nickel, the intermediate layer is preferably copper and the outer layer is preferably chrome with a highly polished surface. The film produced by the process has a retardation value (birefringence times thickness) of less than about 100 nanometers and a surface roughness of less than about 4 microinches. The process is a continuous extrusion process for producing such film or sheet and does not require any further finishing operations.

Multilayer plastic composite articles comprise at least one poly (alkylene naphthalate) surface layer which is adherent to at least one surface of a substrate which is formed of a thermoplastic resin. Decorative layers can be located between the substrate and the poly (alkylene naphthalate) surface layers.

Multilayer plastic articles

Multilayer plastic composite articles comprising a thermoplastic resin substrate which can be a polycarbonate, an ABS or ASA resin, a polyphenylene ether or polyphenylene ether/polystyrene blend , an polyester or an admixture of polycarbonate with ABS, ASA or polyester and at least one surface layer comprising a cyloaliphatic polyester or cycloaliphatic polyester blend which is adherent to at least one surface of the substrate. Decorative layers can be located between the substrate and the surface layers.

A radiation curable, organic coating for improving the weatherability of a thermoplastic resin substrate employs as a polymerizable, cross-linking monomer component, a 2-hydroxy-5-acrylyloxyphenyl-2H-benzotriazole.
