20150202102 | Wheelchair with Automatic Seat Lift Mechanism - A wheelchair with an automatic seat lift mechanism is disclosed. The wheelchair includes a seat that is connected to a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism is connected to a pump that is driven by a motor, wherein the pump is an electrical pump or a hydraulic pump. In one embodiment, the motor is actuated via a hand held controller having a joystick thereon. The joystick can be used to change the height and position of the seat so as to ease the process of getting into and out of the wheelchair. When the seat is in an elevated position, the armrests of the wheelchair can be pivoted upward so that they do not interfere with the movement of the seat. The seat can be positioned adjacent to a bed or another supporting surface so that the wheelchair user can slide onto or off of the seat without being lifted. | 07-23-2015 |

20160047362 | Phase Change Device for Use within a Volume of Fluid - A phase-change device for use in a volume of fluid, comprising a pressure vessel; a displacement cylinder; a displacement piston; a drive cylinder containing a phase-change material; a drive piston; and a gas spring. As the device sinks and experiences cooler fluid temperatures, the phase change material reduces in volume, causing the drive cylinder to move relative to the drive piston and thereby exert an outward force on the displacement piston. The displacement piston is pulled away from the displacement cylinder, increasing the overall displacement of the device. The increase in displacement increases the buoyancy of the device, thereby causing the device to rise in the fluid. | 02-18-2016 |
