Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting diode retrofit lighting apparatus for an existing light fixture that includes one or more lamp holders. The apparatus includes a base portion to be mounted to the light fixture, a light-emitting diode mounting part connected with the base portion and configured to receive a light-emitting diode lighting source, an adjustment portion to be received within the base portion and configured to adjust the apparatus in a vertical direction, and at least one sliding mechanism configured to be mounted on and slide along the adjustment portion to adjust the one or more lamp holders in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: Provided is a light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture including a light engine, a plurality of LEDs, an LED driver, and a near field communication (NFC) electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) circuit. The NFC EEPROM circuit provides an avenue for storing information pertaining to the LED light fixture that is easily accessible.

Abstract: Provided is an optical diffuser apparatus, for use adjacent a light engine in a lighting fixture for producing desired color-mixed light output. The apparatus includes a first diffuser panel and a second diffuser panel connected to the first diffuser panel. The first diffuser panel and the second diffuser panel are configured and arranged so that, when the apparatus is positioned for operation within the fixture, light emitted by the light engine at greater than a pre-determined threshold angle with respect to a centerline of the engine will pass through both the first diffuser panel and the second diffuser panel, thereby mixing colors of the light toward the desired color-mixed light output.

Abstract: A system and method for determining and monitoring various characteristics of a patient positioned on a patient support apparatus, such as a bed, stretcher, or cot, is disclosed. The system and method involve monitoring the forces exerted by the patient on one or more force sensors, which may be load cells on the support apparatus. These force sensors will detect vibrations that correspond to various conditions of the patient, including the patient's heart rate, breathing rate, and/or the seizure status of a patient. These vibrations may be analyzed, such as by Fast Fourier Transforms, in order to determine the various conditions of the patient.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus may include a base frame, lift arms, an intermediate frame, a deck support having three articulating sections, a brake system, various drive motors, actuators, and sensors, at least one power source, communication devices, and at least one controller, wherein the lift arms, articulating sections, drive motors, brake system, and actuators may be controlled from the at least one controller and in response to signals received by the various sensors, while storing data internally and/or sending data to a remote location.
