Devices and methods for generating synthetic cardio-respiratory signals from one or more ballistocardiogram (BCG) sensors. A method for determining item specific parameters includes obtaining ballistocardiogram (BCG) data from one or more sensors, where the one or more sensors capture BCG data for one or more subjects in relation to a substrate. For each subject, the captured BCG data is pre-processed to obtain cardio-respiratory BCG data. The cardio-respiratory BCG data is sub-sampled to generate the cardio-respiratory BCG data at a cardio-respiratory sampling rate conducive to cardio-respiratory signal generation. The sub-sampled cardio-respiratory BCG data is cardio-respiratory processed to generate a cardio-respiratory parameter set. A synthetic cardio-respiratory signal is generated from at least the cardio-respiratory parameter set and a cardio-respiratory event morphology template. A condition of the subject is determined based on the synthetic cardio-respiratory signal.

A furniture restoration kit comprising a support board enclosed within a vinyl casing and received on opposite ends by a first and second rigid cuffs. An adjustable brace comprises a first and second brace arm each configured to connect to one of a first and second rigid cuff and a tensioning mechanism. A tensioning mechanism provides a connection between each opposite pair of brace arm and rigid cuff and is configured to exert an inward force reducing the distance between opposite rigid cuffs in order to flex the support board outwards.

A bed comprises substrate support members, each including a load bearing and a base configured to provide contact with a floor. The load bearing member is configured to move vertically relative to the base, while the base and the load bearing member are configured to fit together to maintain lateral alignment of the base and the load bearing member. A load sensor is positioned between the base and the load bearing member, the load bearing member configured to transmit a load from the substrate to the load sensor. A printed circuit board is in communication with the load sensor. A controller is in communication with the printed circuit board of each substrate support member and is configured to receive and process data output by the printed circuit boards.

This invention is involved in the manufacturing technology, which is a kind of easy assembly metal bed frame. This metal bed frame includes metal frames, the first main slats, supports and supporting rods. The ends of the bed frame are welded with metal plate connections which have elliptic holes at both ends. The bed frame consists of two main bars at both sides, setting fixed slot at the inner side. At both ends, the first main slats are the mobile connection and the second main salts, which can be vertically connected with support by using bolts to link through the fixed holes at the upper and down sides of the second main slats, are the fixed connection. In the middle of the bed frame, the bars are insetted elliptic nuts on one side and bolts on the other side and links the supporting rods at the bottom. Using plastic fasteners to connect the bed frame and slats is easy to operate and durable. Supports not only insure the stability and safety of the metal bed frame, but also create an opportunity to use light slats in order to reduce the weight of bed frame.

Devices and methods for determining item-specific information for single or multiple items on one or multiple substrates are described. The method includes generating multiple sensor multiple dimensions array (MSMDA) data from multiple sensors, where each of the multiple sensors capture sensor data for one or more items in relation to a substrate. For each item, the method includes determining relationships between the multiple sensors based on characteristics of the MSMDA data, determining a location of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, determining an angular orientation of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, and determining a body position of the subject on the substrate based at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, the location of the subject, and the angular orientation of the item.

A frame unit includes first and second bars spaced apart from each other, third bars disposed between the first and second bars, and connectors removably connecting the third bars with the first and second bars. A connector includes a body fixedly connected with the first or second bar, a casing defining an interior to receive an end of a third bar, and a slot allowing insertion of the end of the third bar into the casing. The interior defined by the casing has narrow and wide sides corresponding to the narrow and wide sides of the end of the third bar. As such, when the end of the third bar is inserted into the casing, the end of the third bar is prevented from any translational movement within the casing. The connectors allow quick and easy connection of bars, and in the meantime enhance the stability of the frame unit.

Furniture spring systems are configured to provide support for different sized modular seating systems and/or modular bed systems. Slats extend between opposing frame or rail members to provide support to the seating or bed system. The slats have a catch disposed at a first or second end. In the seating and/or bed frame systems, the catch engages a retention member to retain the slat to the frame or rail. Adjustable bed frame systems employing such slats comprise modular bed frames and adjustable head boards and foot boards. Bed frames employing the slats and headboards/footboards thereof adjust in length or width in a variety of different manners. Adjustable bed frames adjust through the use of telescoping members, filler blocks and/or elongate end blocks that have different sizes from the standard uniform elongate support blocks employed in a bed frame.

The present invention relates to the field of bed frame structures, and in particular, to a novel detachable bed frame assembly mechanism. The novel detachable bed frame assembly mechanism includes a bed frame body. The bed frame body includes an outer frame, an inner frame, and two sets of wooden strips. The outer frame is a rectangular frame including two horizontal tubes, two lateral tubes, four L-shaped iron-plate connectors, bolts, and nuts. The inner frame includes at least one horizontal connecting tube, a plurality of lateral connecting tubes, iron sheets, bolts, and nuts. The two sets of wooden strips are symmetrically disposed on the horizontal connecting tube and the horizontal tubes on both sides of the horizontal connecting tube and are parallel to the lateral tubes, to connect the horizontal connecting tube to the horizontal tubes. The invention is easy to assemble and disassemble and is safe and reliable.

The invention relates to a piece of sleeping or reclining furniture, comprising a support element (2) for applying a padding or a mattress and at least one sensor (12) for detecting vibrations, movement, and/or sound. The piece of sleeping or reclining furniture is characterized in that the at least one sensor (12) is arranged at a section (120) of the support element (2) that is decoupled from further sections of the support element (2) and/or of the sleeping or reclining furniture.

A moving bed has a fixed bed part as a resting area for the head and upper body of a person, and a longitudinally moving bed part as a resting area for the buttocks and legs of a person. The bed has a first bed frame in the form of a stationary fixed frame that extends as a stationary longitudinal frame over the entire length of the bed and on which the upper, fixed bed part is formed. The bed has a second bed frame as a moving frame, which forms the lower longitudinally moving bed part; the moving frame is held to the fixed frame so that it can move longitudinally. A motor drive is mounted between the fixed frame and the moving frame, and by this motor drive, the moving frame may be moved alternatingly back and forth relative to the fixed frame in a predetermined longitudinal section.
