PUMP APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM AND METHOD
A pump apparatus includes a pump configured for moving air, a housing supporting the pump, and an air output hose in communication with the pump. The housing further includes a rest for retaining a portion of the air output hose. The rest forms a u-shape having two side walls and a valley therebetween.
BED HAVING SENSORS FEATURES FOR DETERMINING SNORE AND BREATHING PARAMETERS OF TWO SLEEPERS
A mattress supports a left-side user and a right-side user. At least one acoustic sensor is configured to sense acoustic energy in the environment of the left-side user and of the right-side user. At least one pressure sensor is configured to sense pressure applied to the left-side portion by the left-side user and applied to the right-side portion by the right-side user. A controller is configured to receive at least one acoustic stream from the at least one acoustic sensor and at least one pressure stream from the at least one pressure sensor. Left-side snore/breath parameters and right-side snore/breath parameters are generated. The controller is further configured to, responsive to determining that a home automation rule includes a condition that includes at least one of the left-side snore/breath parameters and the right-side snore/breath parameters send an instruction to drive a controllable device to the controllable device.
MANUAL INFLATION AND DEFLATION ADJUSTMENT STRUCTURE FOR A PUMP
The present disclosure relates to air assemblies having an inflation, a deflation, and a closed state for use with inflatable products, such as air mattresses. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to air assemblies where the configuration of the air assembly can be changed manually by a user by operating a directional control valve to inflate, deflate, or close the inflatable product. The directional control valve may also activate a pump in the inflation and deflation states and deactivate the pump in the closed state.
INFLATABLE BED
An inflatable bed includes a bed main body, an inflator pump, and a one-way valve. The bed main body is provided with a bed body chamber and at least one bed edge chamber independent from each other, and the at least one bed edge chamber is arranged around the bed body chamber. The inflator pump is connected to the bed main body, wherein the inflator pump is configured to inflate the bed body chamber and the at least one bed edge chamber. The one-way valve is provided on the inflator pump or the bed main body, wherein the one-way valve is configured to allow only a fluid to enter the bed body chamber.
Switching means for an adjustable foundation system
In one example, this disclosure describes an adjustable bed system that includes first and second adjustable foundations, at least one first motor to adjust the first adjustable foundation, at least one second motor to adjust the second adjustable foundation, a configurable device having a first state and a second state, and a central controller in communication with the device, the controller configured to receive an input representing one of the first state and the second state, the controller including a processor configured to control the at least one first motor and the at least one second motor based on the received input.
Internally tensioned inflatable structure that is posable in multiple positions
An inflatable structure includes a top end cap, a bottom end cap, a bladder, a nozzle, a loop, and a first tether. The bladder is attached to the top and bottom end caps and is configured to hold pressurized fluid therebetween. The nozzle is configured to allow fluid to enter and exit the bladder. The loop is attached to one of the top and bottom end caps. A tether is disposed within the bladder, coupled to the other one of the top and bottom end caps, and extends through the at least one loop. The top end cap assumes a first position when the bladder is inflated. When the top end cap is adjusted from the first position to a second position, the first tether is configured to maintain the top end cap in the second position.
MATTRESS ADJUSTMENT BASED ON USER SLEEP STATES
A bed has a mattress. A sensor system is configured to sense at least one physical phenomenon through a sleep session. A controller may include at least one processor and memory, the controller configured to receive, through the sleep session, the sensor data; select, from a plurality of optional algorithms, a selected algorithm based on at least one of the sensor data, user input, and checking a clock, where the optional algorithms include (i) a state-based algorithm and (ii) a schedule-based algorithm; update, through the sleep session, using the selected algorithm, a current sleep state of the sleeper; track the sleep session based on the update of the current sleep state of the sleeper through the sleep session; update, through the sleep session, using the tracking of the sleep session, a target environmental-parameter; and send, through the sleep session, automation instructions to an environmental controller.
Pump apparatus and associated system and method
A system includes a pump having a filter. The filter includes a HEPA material configured for filtering air and the pump used to inflate an inflatable device configured to support a patient. A kit includes a pump configured for moving air to inflate an inflatable device, and a removable filter including a HEPA material couplable to the pump and configured to filter the air to inflate the inflatable device. The inflatable device configured to support a patient on a supporting surface.
MATTRESS WITH ATTACHABLE CORES
A mattress including a core having a corner positioned along a top surface of the core and extending along a head portion, a foot portion, and first and second side portions of the core, a perimeter rail structure that extends around a perimeter of the core to surround the core. The core is attached via the corner to the perimeter rail structure along the perimeter rail structure.
Snoring-preventing smart mattress system
The present invention relates to a smart mattress system for preventing snoring of a user, wherein a sleep posture of the user is determined and pressure of an air mattress and pressure of an air pillow are adjusted depending on the sleep posture of the user, whereby snoring of the user is stopped.
