| 20080290711 | TOILETING CHAIR - A toileting chair has a flexible seat support and a removable seat. The removable seat is positioned on a seat support platform. At least one of the seat support platform and the flexible seat support is vertically movable with respect to the others so as to permit the insertion and removal of the seat. The flexible seat support is independent of the drive means so as to provide a comfortable suspended support on which a person may be seated during the reconfiguration of the chair. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090045383 | Lifting assist device - Disclosed herein is a device for lifting an article comprising a housing having an inner chamber, the housing having a leading edge region in fluid communication with the inner chamber, the leading edge region being arranged to engage an access region between an article and a support surface beneath the article, an elongate tubular member having a first open end region and a second closed end region, the first open end region being directly or indirectly in fluid tight relation with the leading edge region, the elongate tubular member having a first surface in fluid communication with the inner chamber and an opposite second surface, the housing being arranged to provide a retracted position in which the elongate tubular member is held relative to the leading edge region and responsive to an operative pressure within the inner chamber to unfurl beyond the leading edge region to cause the elongate tubular member to migrate along the access region with the second surface in contact with the article and the support surface and with minimal relative motion between the contacting surfaces of the elongate tubular member, the article and the support surface and toward a deployed position in which the tubular member extends a distance exceeding a lateral dimension of the article with opposed ends of the tubular member being available to be employed for lifting the article from the support surface. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100082182 | Powered wheelchair - A powered wheel chair device comprises a motorized undercarriage and a support seat for supporting a wheelchair occupant. At least one support arm is located adjacent the seat. A controller is mounted on the arm, the controller including a joystick unit within reach of the occupant. The joystick is in communication with the motorized undercarriage for driving the undercarriage. The joystick includes an upstanding post with a collar, the collar having a periphery with a number of abutment regions located therealong. A number of actuators are provided, each movable from a storage position distal to the corresponding abutment region and a deployed position adjacent the corresponding abutment region. Each actuator is responsive to an obstacle detecting sensor near a corresponding peripheral region of the undercarriage. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20080312657 | Intramedullary Bone Device - An intramedullary bone device comprises a distal outer member having at least one opening in a wall thereof, a proximal outer member for positioning in substantial axial alignment with the distal outer member, the proximal outer member having at least one opening in a wall thereof. The distal outer member and the proximal outer member each have a passage therein. The device also has a distal inner member sized to be slideably received within the passage of the distal outer member and a proximal inner member sized to be slideably received within the passage of the proximal outer member. An extender/retractor is selectively operable to selectively alter the relative longitudinal positioning between the distal inner member and the proximal inner member. The extender/retractor is able to selectively extend or retract to selectively lengthen or shorten, respectively, the device. The device has pins movable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the pins extend through the at least one opening in the distal and proximal outer members to fix the device to a bone during use. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110213751 | OPTIMIZING DATA CACHE WHEN APPLYING USER-BASED SECURITY - A secure caching system and caching method include receiving a user request for data, the request containing a security context, and searching a cache for the requested data based on the user request and the received security context. If the requested data is found in cache, returning the cached data in response to the user request. If the requested data is not found in cache, obtaining the requested data from a data source, storing the obtained data in the cache and associating the obtained data with the security context, and returning the requested data in response to the user request. The search for the requested data can include searching for a security list that has the security context as a key, the security list including an address in the cache of the requested data. | 09-01-2011 |
