Abstract:
This invention relates to leg supports that can be easily mounted and removed from a suitable frame, such as walking aids, chairs or table legs, positioned at a height on said frame chosen by a user where said leg support can be easily deployed or stowed at the discretion of a user.
Abstract:
A mechanical CPR device can include a back plate, a first tower, and a second tower. The back plate can have a first side and a second side. The first tower can include a first foot and the second tower can include a second foot. The first and second towers can be configured to securely hold a beam above the back plate. The first side of the back plate can be configured to be held to the first foot of the first tower and the second side of the back plate can be configured to be held to the second foot of the second tower when a distributed weight is placed on the back plate.
Abstract:
Provided are mechanisms and processes for an adjustable mobility assistive device. In various examples, the adjustable mobility assistive device includes a first frame including a slotted rail S1 and a slotted rail S3 coupled by post P1 and post P3. Both slotted rail S1 and slotted rail S3 may be quarter circular in shape. The adjustable mobility assistive device also includes a second frame including a slotted rail S2 and a slotted rail S4 coupled by post P2 and post P4. Both slotted rail S2 and slotted rail S4 may be quarter circular in shape. Post P2 is slidably connected to slotted rail S1 and slotted rail S3, and post P3 is slidably connected to slotted rail S2 and slotted rail S4. Post P2 is adjacent to post P3 when in a fully extended position and post P1 is adjacent to post P2 and post P3 is adjacent to post P4 in a retracted position.
Abstract:
A stool is provided that provides a raised heel squat position to a user that engages the stool. The raised heel squatting position promotes a healthy and productive experience on a toilet. The stool may be collapsible for easier storage and transportation. The stool may be adjustable to provide custom fittings to different size users. Additionally, the stool may be intelligent and may provide a customized immersive experience to a person on a toilet.
Abstract:
A telescopic tube has a tube assembly and a connecting assembly. The tube assembly has a first rod, a second rod, a third rod, and a fourth rod. The second rod, the third rod, and the fourth rod are mounted respectively around outer surfaces of the first rod, of the second rod, and of the third rod respectively. The connecting assembly has a first connecting unit, a second connecting unit, and a third connecting unit. The first connecting unit links together the first rod and the second rod. The second connecting unit links together the second rod and the third rod. The third connecting unit links together the third rod and the fourth rod. The telescopic tube is applied on a walking stick or a clothes pole which ensures that the walking stick or the clothes pole has a small size when retracted and ease of use when extended.
Abstract:
A collapsible upright wheeled walker with adjustable armrests that support sufficient user upper-body weight to facilitate a natural upright gait and provide unassisted mobility for a wide range of mobility-impaired individuals. The apparatus may be easily and quickly folded (and unfolded) and may include bilateral stabilizing wheel suspensions to facilitate navigation over uneven terrain. The apparatus includes a frame-stiffening folder assembly and may also include mechanical brakes, an adjustable upper armrest assembly with removable padded forearm supports and two pairs of handles, at least one of which is disposed sufficiently forward to place the user within the polygonal footprint defined by the front and rear wheels to provide support without leaning, stooping, or risking falls.
Abstract:
An electromotive walking assistance device includes a drive unit including a plurality of wheels and a motor for driving at least on portion of the plurality of wheels, a sensor unit sensing a distance from a user, a manipulation unit sensing a user's manipulation, and a controller controlling the motor based on a signal of the distance from the user and a signal of the user's manipulation.
Abstract:
There is provided a mounting assembly for connecting a wheel fork to a walker apparatus. The assembly comprises a frame portion of the walker apparatus having an upper bore, lower bore, and passageway extending between and positioned radially inwards relative to the bores. The frame portion has a first annular seat located between the upper bore and the passageway. A second annular seat is located between the lower bore and the passageway. The mounting assembly comprises a shaft assembly having a threaded upper end and an annular shoulder positioned below and extending radially outwards relative to the upper end. The annular shoulder is shaped to abut the second annular seat. The shaft assembly includes a lower portion spaced-apart from the upper end and rotatably connecting to the wheel fork. The mounting assembly comprises a connecting member threadably engageable with the upper end and abuttable with the first annular seat.
Abstract:
A storage device is provided for holding folding walkers in an arrangement provide easy access for cleaning, retrieval, adjustment, and repair. The storage device includes: an upper support component with horizontally-spaced J-hooks, and a lower support component with horizontally-spaced U-hooks. The J-hooks and U-hooks are arranged so that an upper portion (tube) of the frame of a folded walker can be engaged with a selected one of the J-hooks while a lower portion of the frame engages a selected U-hook and remains in place via gravity. A related method includes rotating hung walker frames to visually inspect, select, and then remove a selected one walker frame.
Abstract:
Systems and methods to manage memory on a spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM) are provided. A particular method of managing memory includes determining a temperature associated with the memory and determining a level of write queue utilization associated with the memory. A write operation may be performed based on the level of write queue utilization and the temperature.
