  • Patent number: 11938068
    Abstract: A patient transport apparatus operable by a user for transporting a patient along stairs. A seat section is coupled to a support structure. A track having a belt is attached to the support structure and is arranged for selective operation between: a retracted position, and a deployed position to engage stairs. A drive system with a motor is disposed in rotational communication with the belt to control movement along stairs in the deployed position. A user interface us arranged for engagement to selectively adjust operation of the drive system between: an active state for controlling movement of the belt with the motor, and an inactive state. A braking controller is configured to sense movement of the belt in the inactive state, and to control the motor to limit movement of the belt in the inactive state to effect corresponding limited movement of the patient transport apparatus along stairs.

  • Publication number: 20230247033
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to message compliance analysis. A computing platform may access historical messages. The computing platform may pre-process the historical messages to configure the historical messages for use in training a disclaimer model to identify whether or not input messages include a disclaimer. The computing platform may train, using the pre-processed historical messages, the disclaimer model. The computing platform may receive a new message. The computing platform may input, into the disclaimer model, the new message, which may produce a disclaimer score indicating a likelihood that the new message includes a disclaimer. The computing platform may compare the disclaimer score to a disclaimer threshold. Based on identifying that the disclaimer score meets or exceeds the disclaimer threshold, the computing platform may remove, from a set of messages scheduled for compliance review, the new message, and send, to an intended recipient of the new message, the new message.

  • Publication number: 20210393160
    Abstract: An image display system is provided comprised of a virtual window system that creates a visual coherency between the patient's anatomical images and the actual patient by aligning the image on the display to the patient and then presenting the image to the user in a way that feels as if the user is looking directly into the patient through the display. The image shown within the image display system is dependent upon the position of the image display apparatus and the position of the user so that the display orientation of the image may be biased slightly toward the user to improve ergonomics and usability.

  • Patent number: 10159525
    Abstract: Bipolar electrosurgical forceps for use with a robotic surgical system. Electrodes on a first grasping jaw member align with corresponding electrodes on a second jaw member, allowing localized energy to seal tissue between the first and second jaw members. The first jaw member has an open centerline slot, exposing the tissue in the slot. The exposed tissue enables a second, similar forceps to be used with an opposing arm to treat the tissue in the slot. In embodiments, the precise motion of the robotic arms supporting the first and second forceps guides a distal tip electrode of the second forceps precisely within the open centerline slot of the first forceps to treat tissue. In this manner, the complex assemblies and control systems associated with moving blades of conventional electrosurgical forceps are eliminated.
