Pi Star Selects QSI’s VTERM-G55 Mobile Data Terminal for its PiMobileCADS

Stairlifts Sheffield — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 12:46:48 +0000

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) July 31, 2007

QSI Corporation’s rugged mobile data terminal (MDT), the VTERM-G55, is now integrated with Pi Star’s PiMobileCADS and PiMobileRAMP product lines, which are used to service the para-transit and home health care industry. The VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal allows Pi Star to schedule client pick ups; monitor vehicle mileage, transit times, location and speed; and send and receive messages to and from the driver. Pi Star is able to communicate with the VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal via an external GPRS and CDMA modem.

The VTERM-G55 mobile data terminal used by Pi Star uses a graphic display and a keypad to interface with the user. The terminal can be equipped with two EIA-232, -422 or -485 serial ports and/or an Ethernet 10Base-T interface. The VTERM-G55 has a 320×240 pixel, color LCD display measuring 96 mm (3.8″) diagonal. (optional grayscale display available) and is viewable in most lighting conditions. Other features include 24-key or 40-key membrane / steel snap dome keypad with LEDs; 2 Mbytes flash / 16 Mbytes SDRAM; programmable speaker and real-time clock. The VTERM-G55 in-vehicle terminal is ruggedized to withstand the shock, vibration, temperature and humidity environmental extremes common in many vehicle-related applications today.

“QSI’s VTERM-G55 is very rugged and resists the day-to-day use in this demanding environment. Drivers can even spill soda or coffee on terminals, then clean them up and they still work just fine,” says Mr. Tracy Glende, President of Pi Star. “We especially like that the VTERM-G55 is very easy to program, simple to use, and integrates easily with a variety of wireless communication devices.”

The VTERM-G55 mobile data terminal uses an object-based graphic terminal programming language called Qlarity® (pronounced Clarity). Designing a simple control panel interface or a complete stand-alone application has never been easier. The ability to use pre-defined objects, edit existing objects or author your own objects provides flexibility to the novice and expert alike. Qlarity Foundry®, a PC-based design tool, provides a Windows® environment for screen creation, application simulation, debugging and downloading to the VTERM-G55.

“We are delighted that Pi Star has chosen to use our VTERM-G55 terminal as an integral part of their PiMobileCADS and PiMobileRAMP products. Their success with this terminal once again proves that QSI provides world-class mobile data terminals that are rugged, powerful, economical and highly configurable to a wide range of users,” says Tyler Phillips, Vehicle Products Manager at QSI Corporation. “We look forward to helping Pi Star to continue to grow their business.”

Full Use Of Home Now Within Reach Despite Stairs

Stairlifts Sheffield — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 12:54:21 +0000

Port St Lucie, FL (PRWEB) July 3, 2007

U.S. Stairlifts Inc. has announced the release of the Safe-N-Easy Stairlift(TM) in the United States. Although stairlifts have been popular and commonplace in the U.K. and mainland Europe for several decades, they are about to go mainstream here in the United States. Stairlifts (a.k.a. stair lift, chair lift, stairway chair lift) provide mobility-challenged individuals with a safe, easy and affordable mode of ascending and descending their stairs.

Senior citizens in the U.S. have become more dependent on mobility-assistive devices in recent years. And the aging baby-boomer population is following closely on their heels. Until recently there was no affordable device available to middle-income Americans with mobility issues to facilitate the full use of a home with stairs. The only options were either moving out (with invariable financial and emotional drawbacks), or spending the equivalent sum of a new automobile on a residential elevator (where actually feasible). For many of this country’s mobility-challenged residents who live on fixed incomes or have limited financial resources, neither option was viable. The Safe-N-Easy Stairlift will now provide an alternative, affordable remedy.

Installing a stairlift is the simplest and most affordable solution to the stair-climbing dilemma facing many aging citizens. Alarmingly, the American public remains largely uneducated regarding this readily-available device. Many who have lost full use of their home because of stairs don’t know stairlifts are available, where to obtain one, or how affordable they really are. U.S. Stairlifts Inc. hopes to reverse this deficiency with the release of the Safe-N-Easy Stairlift(TM).

Boasting an affordable price tag of around 00, the Safe-N-Easy Stairlift(TM) features a sleek, attractive appearance, state of the art features (including a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system and wireless remote control) and a lifetime drive-train warranty. They can now be obtained by telephone or via the internet and shipped direct to the consumer. Strategically placed warehouses in the U.S. allow a rapid turn-around time of from 1-5 business days.

Major home-improvement retailers like Lowe’s and The Home Depot have imbued the typical American consumer with an ‘I can do this myself’ optimism. To satisfy this growing trend, the Safe-N-Easy Stairlift(TM) was expressly designed for easy self-installation. This saves the consumer hundreds of dollars for professional installation that is normally required for other stairlift models sold in the U.S. With simple, easy to follow instructions, as well as an instructional DVD, the typical handy person can complete installation in the same time it takes to watch a baseball or football game.

“With my C.O.P.D. (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and my wife’s arthritis, this (stairlift) has made our lives so much easier. We should have bought one sooner,” said stairlift owner Philip Richmond of Roanoke, Virginia who highly recommends this device to others who wish to regain the full use of their home again.

In addition to the elimination of painful or near impossible stair-climbing, stairlift owners (and their families) no longer live with the usual fears - an accidental and tragic fall and/or being trapped during an unexpected emergency (such as a fire). Added bonuses include utilizing the device to effortlessly transport groceries, laundry, or even pets. And the financial enticements are especially attractive to government and private health care providers who stand to save thousands of dollars since the installation of a stairlift allows seniors to remain in their existing dwellings rather than move to an assisted living or nursing home facility.

For more information, please contact U.S. Stairlifts Inc. at 1-800-231-8245.

A Guide to Riser Recliner Chairs

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - A Guide to Riser Recliner Chairs

Riser recliner chairs can help to provide enormous health benefits to those who are suffering from a wide range of medical conditions, including arthritis, asthma, circulation problems and back pain. For people who spend a lot of time in an armchair, the additional seating positions that a riser and recline chair can provide, can reduce the risk of pressure sores, and other conditions.

Electric lift chairs help the user to get in and out of the armchair easily. They are simple to use and are operated by a handset. The handset will be attached to the chair, so that it can’t be mislaid, and is always to hand when it is required, and the riser recliner chair will often have a pocket or storage space for the handset.

Rise and recline chairs are electrically operated by pressing the relevant button on the handset. If the chair is in a seated position, it can be raised using the handset, and once it is as high as it goes, the user can then perch on the edge of the seat, and use the handset to lower the chair to the required position. When the user wants to stand up, pressing the relevant button will raise the chair and the user from a seated position to an almost standing position.

The handset that controls the electric lift chair can have as few as two buttons, on a single motor riser chair, to control the up and down action of the chair. The more luxurious models of rise and recline chair may have features such as a heat and massage system as well as dual motors, and so the handset will have more buttons. When choosing a rise and recline chair it is important to remember that the user will need to be able to see, identify and be able to use the different buttons on the handset so that they can use the chair properly. Modern riser recliner chairs have a built in battery back up system, so that in the event of a power cut the user is not stranded either in a seated or standing position.

The electric lift chair is fitted with either one or two motors. Models with one motor aren’t as adjustable as models with two motors. Riser recliner chairs with two motors allow the back rest and the footrest to be adjusted independently of each other. The back rest and the footrest are adjusted simultaneously on single motor models. This can lead to the backrest being in the right position, but the footrest isn’t for example. As well as providing additional support and comfort, electric lift chairs lower the user from an almost standing position to a seated position, and vice versa, raising from a seated, or even lying position, to a standing position. This can be very beneficial to those with mobility or joint problems which can make standing up and sitting down using a traditional style of armchair difficult and painful.

There are different types of rise and recline chairs, which offer different levels of support and comfort. As well as the level of comfort and support offered, the size of the user should also be taken into consideration. Riser recliner chairs are available in different sizes, as people are different sizes. A chair for a petite person will not offer the right levels of support and comfort for a very tall person, and vice versa. It should be remembered that unlike mobility scooters and powerchairs, optional extras aren’t really available for riser recliner chairs, so it is advisable to make sure that the model chosen fits the user’s requirements.

Some models of electric lift chair are available with additional pockets and storage compartments, and even trays which are stored in the arm rest.

Different models electric lift chair have different types of back, and the amount and sort of support required will vary from person to person. Riser recliner chairs are available in different colours and some models are available in different fabrics, including leather. It should be possible to find a suitable chair that will fit in with the existing dcor and colour scheme in the room. Some model ranges are available with matching sofas or traditional style armchairs.

As well as the performance aspect of the chair, the safety aspect also needs to taken into consideration. Modern rise and recline chairs have additional anti-trap features so that in the event of something getting caught in the mechanism, the chair will not function. In addition to this, some models require a key before the handset will work. This is to prevent unauthorised use and can be especially useful if young children are in the same room as the riser recliner chair.

A rise and recline chair can provide health benefits, and help to maintain or regain independence, and are often recommended by health experts and Occupational Therapists.

10 Useful Wheelchair Tips

Stairlifts Sheffield — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 12:53:41 +0000

10 Useful Wheelchair Tips

1. Make Lemons Out of Lemonade - If your wheelchair is a lemon, does not conform to the terms of the written warranty, or the dealer or manufacturer is unable to repair it in the first year, you should check your states wheelchair lemon law. You may qualify for a replacement chair.

2. Rain or Shine - It is not necessary to stay home on a rainy day if you take precautions to protect your powerchair. Cover the hand control with a plastic bag, but exercise caution when using a joystick with a covering on it. Protect the drive motor by avoiding puddles that might splash or submerge the motor. Common sense is the rule, sitting in a powerchair in the pouring rain waiting for a bus is not a good idea, however, rain should not stop you from attending to life’s daily activities such as going to work or a doctor appointment.

3. Get in Your Comfort Zone - It would be nice if wheelchair seats were like our favorite overstuffed chair, but sadly enough they are basically not that comfortable. So, here are some tips on getting close to comfortable. Width of the seat should be as narrow as possible without hips touching the sides. A chair too wide causes bad posture, and affects chair performance. Proper seat depth is tricky. Too deep and you slouch, too shallow and you don’t have enough support and less stability. A sling backrest with adjustable tension will allow you to sit further back in the seat, while a fixed backrest allows you to sit further forward. Seat angle, commonly called “squeeze” is when the seat seat has a permanent slope. Seat angle helps keep your weight in place, and prevents you from sliding forward. It is important to get the right amount of angle because too much can cause problems with discs in the back, curvature of the spine and pressure sores. Most manual and powerchairs have a built in adjustment which will allow you to customize the seat angle. Seat cushions provide comfort, positioning, and prevent pressure sores. The type of cushion you chose will depend on your criteria. Someone who spends all day in a chair will obviously have a different need from someone who may just use a wheelchair to go shopping.

4. All Work and No Play - For housework and cleaning, my advice would be to get your friends and family to do it, but that just is not realistic. Learning to live with a little clutter and coming to grips with the fact that your house may never be as clean as it once was might help with some of the frustration. Make sure that you have accessible outlets!!! Try plugging the vacuum cleaner in when the outlet is behind the couch and you will see why this is so important. Better yet, get a cordless vacuum! If you need to mop, always start in the corner first!! Cleaning the shower is easy with the new sprays that are on the market. Pick up clutter all through the week, it lessens what you have to do during the actual cleaning. Keep a reacher handy to get those socks that are hiding under the bed or items that may have fallen behind furniture.

5. No Need for a Spare Tire - “Flat Free” tires no longer means made of solid rubber! Technology has evolved to include a range from foam filling, to a poly urethane tread to a rubber insert. So, the question is: Which material meets your needs? Poly Urethane tires are used most commonly on manual wheelchairs. They are highly resilient and fairly light. The life span is 3 to 4 times of the traditional rubber tire. Semi-pneumatic tires and inserts feature molded-in air pockets, much like the air pockets in the soles of athletic shoes, providing a slightly cushioned ride. Found in forms ranging from poly urethane tires to inserts, semi-pneumatic tires never need air maintenance, nor will they become flat when punctured, making them truly flat-free. On today’s powerchairs, foam-filled tires, especially on the drive wheels, are the most popular flat-free solution. The foam may vary in density depending on the required weight capacity. Co-molded tires are most commonly found via powerchair casters and low-end manual wheelchair wheels. Co-molded tires are especially useful as anti-tip wheels, where durability is more important than ride characteristics. Co-molded tires have an exceptional lifespan, but the entire wheel assembly requires replacement when worn.

6. Ball in Your Court - Being in a wheelchair should not stop you from getting out there and participating in sports. Wheelchair users are now competing on a professional level. There are numerous wheelchair sports associations. Wheelchair basketball was started over 40 years ago by the Veterans Administration as a rehab program. It has grown by leaps and bounds and is now a sport. There are over 180 teams across the U.S. Quad Rugby is another wheelchair sport designed for quadriplegics who are unable to play basketball. It is a mixture of basketball, ice hockey, rugby, and handball. Power soccer is yet another great sport for those in an electric wheelchair. There are many wheelchair sports accessories available including belts, harnesses, drink holders and special back supports.

7. On the Road Again - For travel, first and foremost make sure that your chair is in good working order. Take it in for a service check. Be sure that your name and address are clearly printed on all removable parts. Use sticky labels, and cover them with a piece of clear tape. If you will be flying, be sure to notify the airline that you are traveling with a wheelchair. Airlines are required by law to stow your chair in the cabin, but don’t count on it if there are multiple travelers with wheelchairs. An alternative is to gate check your chair, this will allow you to wheel onto the jetway where they will tag your chair and stow it in the belly of the plane. Remove leg supports and seat cushion and carry them on board with you. If you are unable to walk onto the plane, be sure to request an aisle chair. Always check your wheelchair for damage on arrival. Be sure to do your homework ahead of time. Check on hotels for handicapped accessible rooms, if you are going to be sightseeing, make sure that there are no barriers, arrive early at bus and train stations. Wheelchair travel can be both challenging and and rewarding, and with a little planning, it will certainly be a adventure that you won’t forget.

8. Stumbling Block - Nobody ever said it was going to be easy being disabled. Learning to cope with the mountain of little obstacles that are so frustrating is a major step in the right direction. If you have diminished hand strength and function, use a wall mounted dispenser with refillable chambers and push button dispensing for the shower. This will eliminate the need for opening and closing bottles with wet hands. If grasping a utensil is difficult slide a piece of 12mm hose over the handle. Outsource your toenails and get a simple trim at the nail salon on a regular basis. Use a reacher to get at those socks from under the bed or behind the couch. Don’t chase your food all over the plate, use a bowl instead. Be sure to carry straws with you if you are unable to pick up a cup or glass. A 3 ft dowel with a rubber cap on both ends works great for turning light switches on and off, ringing doorbells, pushing buttons on tv or as a pushing or pulling tool. Put a thin cord through the hole on your zippers, tie to make a loop. Be sure to join a disabled support group, as they are an amazing wealth of information.

9. Play it Safe - Make sure that your wheelchair is in good condition at all times. The top priority when considering safety are the brakes. Be sure to check them regularly, loose brakes can compromise the wheelchair users safety. Another thing to consider is stability and balance. Some guidelines to follow are: Never lean forward any further than the length of the armrests. If you do lean forward, be sure the front casters are facing forward. Do not try to pick things up from the floor by reaching down in between your knees. Do not shift your weight in the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over. For ultimate safety, it is important that you be fully contained within the wheelchair. A weakened arm or leg that occasionally drops to the side cannot be considered the ultimate in safety. Arm supports, as well as foot and leg huggers, help you keep it all together.

10. Live and Learn - Become a self advocate. Being a self advocate very simply means that you understand your own disability….you know your weaknesses and strengths, and you are able to convey this to others. So, how do you get started? Write it all down; your weaknesses, strengths, identify your disability, and what you need to do to participate in the things you enjoy, or need. Find out your rights, The American Disabilities Act will spell them out for you. Now comes the hard part for some…….Assert yourself, ask for what you need. What do you have to lose? And finally, follow up, and make the change happen.

Living with a disability and being in a wheelchair means that you have had to make changes and adjustments to your lifestyle, but you can still stay active and enjoy your life. With the above wheelchair tips, and a positive attitude, you can learn to thrive with your disability instead of letting it manage you!

Wheelchair Education - One is Right for You?

Stairlifts Sheffield — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 12:50:26 +0000

(PRWEB) October 3, 2005

Whether you plan on being in a wheelchair for just a short time or for the duration of your life, it is very important to pick the right one for you.

With so many wheelchairs on the market today, it can be a tough task to undertake; but you can easily purchase the right wheelchair for you by becoming knowledgeable about your choices. Before you buy your new mode of transportation, it is best to have an understanding of the different types of wheelchairs.

Manual wheelchairs are wheelchairs that need to be controlled by the person in the wheelchair, or by somebody pushing the wheelchair. There are a few different types of manual wheelchairs ÂÂ– lightweight or sports chairs that roll easily for those with upper body strength and are designed for every day use; standard manual wheelchairs that have the traditional cross brace frame and added support, child or youth wheelchairs that grow with a child and come in a variety of colors and styles; specialty chairs that are specifically designed for a variety of wheelchair lifestyles and needs and institutional wheelchairs that are the most affordable, but designed only for minimal wheelchair use ÂÂ– commonly used for transporting people in hospitals and nursing homes.

They are most suitable for short-term use, for those who donÂÂ’t use a wheelchair too often or for those who have upper body strength. Those who have limited movement or a weak upper body may need someone to push them, or may want to consider the electric wheelchair.

Electric wheelchairs are wheelchairs powered by a motor. They were created especially for those individuals with limited or no body mobility, or for those who use wheelchairs as their primary source of getting around. They are pricier than manual wheelchairs, but the cost is definitely a wash when considering if your wheelchair needs are substantial.

Electric wheelchairs come in a few styles ÂÂ– the traditional style electric wheelchair resembles a manual wheelchair with the exception of the motor, battery and controls; and the platform electric wheelchair look more like a seat placed on top of the motor encasement.

The motor is often placed below the electric wheelchair in order to minimize any noise. The electric wheelchair controls are usually to the right or left of the arm rests, and can even be repositioned based on your wheelchair needs. People who enjoy outdoor activities regularly may need to be careful in an electric wheelchair ÂÂ– most models are designed for indoor use and can crack or become faulty over time. But, there are some indoor/outdoor models marketed today, and may be the outdoor enthusiastÂÂ’s best electric wheelchair bet.

Sports wheelchairs differ from the traditional manual wheelchair ÂÂ– they are very lightweight and designed to withstand the normal wear and tear that goes along with a number of sporting activities. Sports wheelchairs use lightweight metals that can withstand a beating like titanium, chrome, aluminum and steel tubing.

The base of a sports wheelchair is wider than other traditional wheelchairs in order to support different sporting activities, and the center of gravity can be adjusted for the individual using the sports wheelchair. The sports wheelchair is generally affordable, but the more custom features it contains, the more expensive it will be.

Getting The Right Mobility Equipment To Fulfill Your Particular Requirements

Stairlifts Sheffield — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:39:31 +0000

Getting The Right Mobility Equipment To Fulfill Your Particular Requirements

The real story behind todayâ€™s encouraging developments in mobility equipment lies in birth rates during the baby boom era and medical sciences that are allowing people to live so much longer. As cynical as it may sound, the truth is that the market has followed the money. In short, there are a lot more buyers now that have a lot more money to spend on quality mobility equipment then they did in decades past.

New More Advanced and Reliable Mobility Equipment

So manufacturers, mechanical engineers and research developers have been scrambling for some time now to develop more advanced mobility equipment that allows its users to live fuller lives. Hence; what began as a wheel chair has expanded into a broad range of mechanical devices that have physically challenged people of today doing so much more than they were able to in the past.

A Veritable Cornucopia Of More User Friendly Mobility Equipment

So now it’s pick and choose from a variable cornucopia of high tech mobility equipment that can have you moving about your world doing just about anything you have done prior to your physical disabilities. Also that same mobility equipment at the same time is far more user friendly and reliable.

Todays Stair Lifts â€“ More Reliable and Affordable

Stair lifts for instance, have been around for some time now. However; stair lifts of the past tended to be prohibitively expensive and they couldn’t always be relied on to operate properly as they aged. Todays stair lifts however, are far less expensive to procure when factored for inflation and can be relied on every time to get you to the floor in your home you are heading to.

New Fold Up Mobility Scooters and Power Chairs

Power chairs and mobility scooters have also gone through a technological revolution. What this means is that there are far more options that present themselves when making your decision on what you will be traveling around in. For instance, mobility scooters and power chairs are now available in fold up models that can be quickly and easily loaded into the trunk of your vehicle.

New Finely Crafted Contemporary Styled Lift Chairs

Lift chairs are also becoming increasingly popular in recent years for several good reasons. Not only are they available in an almost endless number of styles and price ranges but they can now lift up to 500 pounds. In fact, more people than ever before are now bringing finely crafted lift chairs into their homes and offices who aren’t technically disabled. They just enjoy the extra help getting up and out of a chair and whatâ€™s wrong with that!?

If a survey results are to be believed, there is 1 person in every 10 who has some amount of physical disability. That is quite so much and just because you are disabled you donâ€™t have to be prisoned; you arenâ€™t a culprit. Are you?

Just because you are physically disabled doesnâ€™t imply you got to be house arrested for the rest of your lives. You should still be enjoying mobility as anyone else would be. There are many useful mobility aids and mobility products out in the market to come in for your assistance.

Types of mobility products

These include but not limited to mobility scooters, access ramps, electric wheelchairs, walking aids, stairlifts, risers, recliners, electric beds, bathing aids, toileting aids, kitchen aids dining aids and many other household personal care mobility aids. All of these mobility products are intended to render support and empower a person having physical disability refraining him to free mobility.

Why mobility products?

The mobility products give a certain level of independence when it comes to mobility and they improve the quality of life of these people.

The wheelchair lift for instance helps one get around oneâ€™s house easily and without having to depend on others. So wonâ€™t it make sense to install a residential wheelchair lift?

In case you have a person who is mobility aids dependant in your home, see that the home settings are not only friendly for his/her freedom, but also the usage of mobility products such as the power scooters or the access ramps, so the navigation of person using these is hassle free.

As regards power mobility scooters, you need to check for those that can be disassembled and stored in little space while also being light in weight. There are 3-wheeled power scooters as well as 4-wheeled ones and depending on the usage you might want to prefer either of them. For indoor usage 3-wheel mobility scooters are preferred choice as by design they are compact and enable easy maneuverability.

You can also check for the latest and the most enhanced safety features when buying the mobility scooters including but not limited to safety lights in LEDs, turn signals, rear suspension, adjustable tillers and easy-to-plug-in battery. While there are many models available you may want to make sure that your mobility aid is insurance protected. There are companies that arrange easy insurance for the same. The mobility scooters become handy tool for those who need and there are some stores that can help you get cost approved by funding agencies. With that being said, if there is something that sounds too good, it might not be true, so you can do your diligence when it comes to finance options.

Still better, you can always take the mobility aids and try them in your home for specific trial period and then buy permanently. These days the mobility aids shops are offering some of the products on rent so you can always try beforehand and then buy.

If you should be needing mobility scooter that will help you with your needs, hire one from any reputable mobility aids stores and use for a week or pre-specified time period, and then buy should you really feel it comfortable for you.

Mobility scooter problem?

Question by Jimi C: Mobility scooter problem?
I have a small mobility scooter I use at work, a Prism 3 wheeler. Anyway I’ve recently noticed that it feels like the axle is bent or that there is some type of bulge in the back right wheel, honestly don’t know. I dont’ take it on any uneven or rough terrain so I can’t see how the axle could get bent and I’ve never heard of a scooter tyre (8inch) getting a bulge. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

Answer by Daniel W
It is pretty well sealed I would hope. It is also Dc power and a low voltage. You might get a damned good shock off of it but it wont kill you.
