A transport apparatus has a mobile chassis, a lifting mechanism, two armpit supports structured and operated mirror-symmetrical to one another, and two seat assemblies. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting arm for assembling a chest rest and two lifting racks, and a linear actuator driving the lifting arm to pivot upward or downward. The armpit supports are assembled on the lifting racks and transversely extend toward a rear of the mobile chassis. The seat assemblies are assembled on the mobile chassis. Each of the seat assembly has a seat plate driven to rotate by a drive motor to form a seat. The weak person can be moved directly by the transport apparatus with voice command or with a remote control. Since the weak person is not moved by the care workers, the weak person can be moved in an easier and safer way.

An external structural brace apparatus for supporting a user in a semi standing position on a surface includes first and second support extension beams that to attach to the surface, also included is a channel having a base with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs extend in the same direction from opposing sides of the base, the first leg is affixed to the first support structure and the second leg is affixed to the second support structure, the channel can be lockably positioned along the first and second beams. In addition, a saddle seat with a midpoint extension portion, the saddle is attached between the first and second legs and positioned such that the midpoint extension extends opposite of the base, wherein operationally the user partially rests their buttocks on the saddle and leans their back against the base to assume a semi supported standing posture.

An apparatus is configured for use with a chair having a supporting surface, and includes a bottom member adapted to be placed above the supporting surface of the chair. The bottom member includes a cushioning member in the form of a bladder. The bladder includes at least two internal chambers. A first of the at least two internal chambers extends from a rear edge disposed inwardly proximate a center of the bladder and a second of the at least two internal chambers extends peripherally around three inner sides of the first internal chamber. The apparatus further includes a top member having a bottom surface positioned in confronting relation to the bottom member and a top surface opposite the bottom surface.

A computer implemented method for managing sales information associated with a prospect. The method includes receiving data, at a processor, associated with the prospect; storing the received prospect data in a memory; analyzing, at the processor, the prospect data; generating, at the processor, a sales plan based at least on the analyzed data by generating at least one guideline; transmitting the at least one guideline to a sales member; receiving, at the processor, feedback data associated with the at least one guideline; and analyzing, at the processor, the received feedback data to update the sales plan based at least on the analyzed feedback data.

An apparatus is configured for use with a chair having a supporting surface, and includes a bottom member having a cushioning member, the bottom member adapted to be placed above the supporting surface. The bottom member has a rear edge adapted to be placed proximate a rear of the chair and a front edge opposite the rear edge. The apparatus further includes a top member having a bottom surface positioned in confronting relation to the bottom member and a top surface opposite the bottom surface. The top member and the bottom member are connected to each other along at least one of the front and rear edges, and at least a portion of the top member is slidable with respect to the bottom member. The apparatus further includes a second cushioning member connected to a rear end of the apparatus and adapted to extend upward from the rear end.

A supporting structure includes two pairs of legs and four wheels each arranged at a lower end of a respective one of the legs. Each leg includes an upper segment and a lower segment, and optionally a retractable leg extension segment for contacting ground instead of the corresponding wheel. Such supporting structure is adapted for producing a lowering motion while keeping the legs crossed on both lateral sides. Such supporting structure may be adapted for assisting a disabled person in travelling on the ground, and also possibly in climbing stairs.

A method and apparatus for assisting a patient from a sitting to standing position is disclosed, which includes: a base having caster wheels; a double scissors truss; a first motor operable to cause the double scissor truss to extend/retract vertically from the base; a first middle frame connected to the double scissor truss; a second middle frame hingedly connected to the front side of the first middle frame and is configured to be raised at an angle with the first middle frame; a seat member having a curved protrusion configured to assist the patient.

A device to provide assistance in transferring and standing includes a knee-fixing unit wrapped around and supporting either the knee area or at least the front and sides of the lower leg area from knee to ankle of a care-receiver; a pelvis support wrapped around at least the buttocks or a section from the pelvis to thighs of said care-receiver in a manner that prevents slippage from said pelvis support from slipping off; and left and right pulling bands. Each band having two connecting ends attached to the side of a thigh section and the side of a hip section of said pelvis support respectively so that said bands are positioned above and below the greater trochanter when said care-receiver is being pulled up during transfer/standing assistance and are positioned in front of and behind the greater trochanter when said care-receiver is seated.

A mobility device that includes support assemblies that may be secured to feet, legs, thighs, and torso of a user. An exemplary mobility device may further include an actuator that may be coupled with the exemplary support assemblies and may actuate rotational movements of the exemplary support assemblies with respect to each other. Such movement of support assemblies may accordingly move respective limbs of a disabled user. An exemplary mobility device may allow for a user to change position from a lying position to a standing position or from a standing position to a sitting position, which may significantly increase mobility of a disabled user. An exemplary mobility device may further include an exemplary wheeled base that may allow a disabled user to further move around.
