Abstract: A patient containment system for securing a patient to a patient transport apparatus, comprising a first lower strap and a second lower strap. Each of the first lower strap and the second lower strap have a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between the thigh region and the waist region. A first connector is coupled to the connection region of the first lower strap. A second connector is coupled to the connection region of the second lower strap, and is configured to releasably attach to the first connector to at least partially limit movement of the first lower strap relative to the second lower strap. The connection region defines a connection width, and the thigh region defines a thigh width larger than the connection width.

Abstract: In a distributed computer environment, an apparatus enables a client application of a mobile client processor to communicate with a server application of a server processor. The client application generates a request to communicate with the server processor. The client processor includes transport procedures for processing the request. The procedures and the client application expect a connection to be in place between the client processor and the server processor via a selected circuit of the communications network at the time the request is made. Therefore, the client processor includes an interceptor for intercepting the request and a communication manager for connecting the client processor and the server processor via the selected circuit of the network. Once the connection is established, the request is passed to the transport procedures.
