International Classification:

H04B 700
H04Q 720

US Classification:

455511

Abstract:

Responsive to a received call request, a resource controller (105) assigns a first control channel to the call request (302). When there are no traffic channels available and there is at least one pending call request (303-304), it is determined whether there is a second control channel, combinable with the first control channel, available from a group of un-assigned control channels (305). Alternatively, it is determined whether the second control channel is available from a group of assigned control channels (308). The second control channel, when available, is assigned along with the first control channel as an additional traffic to one of the pending call requests (307).

A61G 13/00
A47C 27/00

Abstract:

A mattress cover for a mattress providing movement therapy to a patient. A patient support portion covers the upper surface of the mattress, and a bottom portion is coupled to the patient support portion. The mattress cover may substantially encase the mattress. An augmenting feature is associated with a peripheral portion with the augmenting feature adapted to move between a stored configuration, and a deployed configuration in response to increasing thickness of the mattress during the movement therapy. The augmenting feature may include concertinaed material, such as thermoformed plastic, and/or a fold of material coupled to the peripheral portion. The patient support portion and the bottom portion may at least partially overlap and be moveable relative to one another. The mattress cover may be included on a mattress overlay having a patient turning device, or on the mattress supported on a patient support apparatus.
