20100180384	MATTRESS - Air mattresses primarily intended for hospitals, long-term care facilities and in-home use are described. The mattress includes multiple foam layers and an air sector having multiple resilient foam filled air cylinders. The air cylinders at different locations are filled with foam having different density (firmness); some are filled with multiple layers of foam. Each air cylinder has an air inlet connected to the atmosphere by an inlet valve and an air outlet. The air outlets are either connected to one or more restricted internal check outlet valves in a non-powered air mattress, or connected to a pump via hose connectors in a powered air mattress. The restricted outflow of air from the cylinders in a non-powered air mattress allows the patient to slowly settle into the supportive foam layers for optimal interface pressure distribution. The air cylinders re-inflate when the patient adjusts position or is vacated from the surface.	07-22-2010

20080204389	LCD display element and LCD Display panel - An LCD display element is provided that achieves a uniform LCD display panel by arranging individual LCD display elements side-by-side. The margin areas outside of the viewing field in the vicinity of the left and the right lateral edges of the LCD display element are configured to be equally narrow. The narrow width of the margin areas is achievable because row leads do not contact the row electrodes at one of their ends, but rather are routed in the spacing areas between individual column electrodes. Moreover, the electrical contact points are located in the spacing areas. In this manner, the wide lateral margin in the area of the contact points of the row electrodes, as in conventional LCD display elements, is avoided. Because the row leads are routed on the interior of the first cover plate, no contact strip is necessary in the area of penetration through the adhesive rim.	08-28-2008

20110007045	LCD display element with reduce crosstalk at the intersection of row leads and row electrodes - Crosstalk in the area of intersection between row leads and row electrodes as well as undesired optical effects are avoided in an LCD display element. An LCD display panel is made of the disclosed LCD display elements. By extending the row leads over the full width of the rectangular viewing area in which information is visually displayed, the portion of the viewing area that cannot be controlled by proper drive voltage pulses is minimized. Thus, undesired crosstalk and optical effects are reduced. By driving row electrodes using column voltage sequences of the prior art and by driving column electrodes using row voltage sequences of the prior art, row and column voltage sequences are generated such that an intermediate area of liquid crystal located between the row leads and corresponding row electrodes cannot be driven to a voltage that produces an intermediate condition between an ON condition and an OFF condition.	01-13-2011
