An examination table that can be used in other places than a hospital is provided. A portable examination table comprises a seat part for supporting a bottom of a patient, an angle-changeable backrest part for supporting a back of the patient, a pair of angle-changeable arm parts, abutting parts configured to be raised or lowered when the angle of the arm parts relative to the seat part is changed and abut the back of the knees of the patient, and link parts configured to link the arm parts to the backrest part and change the angle of the arm parts, and is configured to convert between an end-sitting positioning state, a lithotomy positioning state, and a folded state.

A foldable support may include a top support and a bottom support. At least one hinged connection may connect the top support to the bottom support. The hinged connection may move the top support relative to the bottom support.

A leg pillow having an upper edge and lower edge and two convex curved side edges, wherein a recess is defined in the middle of the leg pillow. The leg pillow also includes leg support indentations at the upper edge. The leg support indentations are on both the top and bottom side of the leg pillow to provide support and proper body alignment for side sleeping individuals.

Provided is a chair with a forehead rest, including a seating part which includes a seat board and a support leg supporting the seat board and on which a user is seated, a main support arm, an elastic support arm which is provided on an upper end of the main support arm and includes a first elastic support arm part that bends forward while protruding upward and a second elastic support arm part protruding downward from a leading end of the first elastic support arm part to be bent rearward toward a lower end of the second elastic support arm part, and a forehead rest which is provided on a leading end of the second elastic support arm part of the elastic support arm and by which the forehead of the user is supported.

Apparatus and methods for providing therapeutic treatment for symptoms associated with GERD and/or other digestive disorders and/or other medical conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a support element that has a first end portion and a second end portion and a top surface disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the support element. The second end portion has a height greater than the first end portion. A riser element is configured to be coupled proximate to the second end portion of the support element. A body element is configured to be disposed on at least one of the support element or the riser element. The body element has a first arm and a second arm connected together by an arc portion.

A leg pillow is provided that includes a pad having a band or a strap connected thereto. The band allows the pillow to be secured to the user's leg. The pillow can be worn by a user during sleep or at other times, and aids in reducing heat loss in the user's legs and separating the user's legs, which improve circulation and reduce joint pain.

A lift and position device and methods of use therewith designed to aid attendants in moving and propping the various selected body parts of a patient from atop a support surface, for example, a mattress. The device utilizes a base for stability, a separately powered screw jack, radial adjustment head, a cushion cradle and a single or plurality of fitted cushion(s) configured to optimally raise and lower a particular body part of a patient such as his or her arms, torso, legs, back and the like. All elements of the device are ultralight and ultra-strong, some or all of the components of the device being composed of Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, injection molded plastic, and Titanium. The device utilizes advantageous mechanics of jack technology modified to suit the specific needs of an attendant wishing to the lift, position or prop and secure a particular body part of a patient, for example, an immobile, obese or otherwise incapacitated patient. In addition, the device will aid in daily turning of patients, pulmonary relief via leg elevation and enhanced healing by securely holding appendages still and securely at various angles and heights for an unlimited amount of time.

An ergonomic body pillow includes a substantially cuboid portion joined to a substantially cylindrical portion. The diameter of the cylindrical portion is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cuboid portion. The substantially cuboid portion is firmer than the cylindrical portion. The body pillow keeps the body in a neutral position while slide-sleeping.

Methods and devices for reading a memory cell using multi-stage memory sensing are described. The memory cell may be coupled to a digit line after the digit line during a read operation. A transistor may be activated to couple an amplifier capacitor with the digit line during the read operation. The transistor may be deactivated for a portion of the read operation to isolate the amplifier capacitor from the digit line while the memory cell is coupled to the digit line. The transistor may be reactivated to recouple the amplifier capacitor to the digit line to help determine the value of the memory cell.
