  • Patent number: 9973736
    Abstract: A mobile computer workstation includes a base assembly including a plurality of wheels, an adjustable column assembly mounted to the base assembly and adapted to support a computer monitor, and a camera configured to communicate a video signal, the camera being mounted on the workstation such that a line of sight of the camera is directed rearward from the computer monitor. The workstation further includes a computing device stored within the workstation operatively coupled to the camera and the computer monitor. The computing device is configured to determine whether the workstation is moving based on a comparison of a sensed motion of the workstation and a predetermined motion threshold and, in response to the comparison, initiate the camera, receive the video signal from the camera, and display the video signal on the computer monitor.

  • Patent number: 9968190
    Abstract: A storage device having discrete drawers includes a housing having a frame assembly. A drawer assembly is movably received in the housing. A cover is fixedly mounted atop the drawer assembly preventing access to the contents of the drawer assembly. The drawer assembly is further divided into at least two discrete compartments. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move the drawer assembly along a drawer slide slidably outward from the housing. At least two second actuators are connected to said drawer assembly, each actuator operating to move one of the at least two discrete compartments outward from the drawer assembly such that the cover does not move along with the compartment.

  • Patent number: 9860660
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing. The housing may enclose an interior cavity. A speaker may be mounted in an opening in the housing. The interior cavity may serve as a sealed back volume for the speaker during normal operation of the speaker. During normal operation, control circuitry in the interior cavity plays audio content through the speaker. When it is desired to cool the control circuitry and the speaker, the control circuitry supplies a subaudible signal to the speaker. Airflow regulators having one-way valves and valves that are controlled by the control circuitry are mounted in the housing. Movement of a diaphragm in the speaker when the subaudible speaker is applied causes the diaphragm to pump air through the airflow regulators, creating a cooling airflow through the interior cavity.

  • Patent number: 9773092
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inventory management system that offers significant improvement over existing systems by automating requests to restock inventory. The present disclosure details an inventory management system that provides real time visibility to stock levels and streamlines materials management activities, while addressing the issues of human resource misallocations, inaccurate inventory data management and related out of stock conditions. Moreover, the system of the present disclosure promotes a high level of confidence in inventory data that enables on-hand inventory levels to be reduced, thereby reducing costs and waste.

  • Publication number: 20170147785
    Abstract: A medication system includes a control module that determines when a medication is removed from a central pharmacy or a medication base station. The medication is carried by the healthcare professional and/or placed in a mobile workstation. A remote medication database, separate from a central inventory database associated with the healthcare facility, stores information about a total stock of the medication and respective stock quantities of the medication located in the central pharmacy, in the medication base station, carried by the healthcare professional, and/or placed in the mobile workstation. The total stock and the respective stock quantities are updated by the control module in response to a determination that that medication was removed from the central pharmacy or the medication base station. The control module updates the remote medication database in response to the medication being administered and updates the central inventory database.

  • Patent number: 9652594
    Abstract: A medication storage and dispensing workstation for use in a medication management system administering the inventory and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in a healthcare environment is disclosed. The workstation incorporates a linear drawer assembly having a plurality of discrete, removable, storage modules for containing medications and/or other medical supplies. The storage modules are arranged in a linear array extending longitudinally along the travel path of the linear drawer assembly. Each storage module, in turn, comprises a drawer that is extensible laterally relative to the linear arrangement of the storage modules. As such, the drawer assemblies comprise a compartmentalized “drawer-in-drawer” arrangement that provides an efficient use of storage space and enables a user to utilize the workstation in a workspace having a smaller footprint that traditional storage cabinet apparatus.
