Abstract: A device and method that automatically corrects the color of a dome light display device. An dome light display device may include one or more colored light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in a row, a photodetector disposed with the one or more LEDs in the row and a measurement circuit is configured to receive an electrical signal from the photodetector and compare the electrical signal to a reference signal associated with an intensity of light for a particular color of light and adjust the intensity of light emitted from the one or more LEDs based on the reference value.

Abstract: A call cord system and connection are disclosed. The system can be implemented in any number of situations where summoning assistance from a remote location is desirable, such as in a healthcare provider setting. In addition, the call cord connection allows the cord to be securely engaged for its intended operation, without concern that the cord will unintentionally become disconnected. However, given sufficient force, the call cord connection further allows the cord to be disconnected from the patient station by the patient or staff without damaging either the call cord itself or the patient station. Such an intentional disconnect can be used, for instance, to signal a patient or staff emergency and a corresponding response, when normal call signaling is not possible (e.g., the patient is not able to depress the call button) or higher priority attention is needed for whatever reason.
