  • SEPSIS RISK ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT
    Publication number: 20240138752
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a controller, a sensor capable of detecting vital signs, and a point of care (PoC) device for assessing risk of developing sepsis and for providing local and/or remote indications to caregivers. The controller is coupled to the sensor and the point of care device, and the controller can analyze signals from the sensor and the point of care device to determine data indicative of sepsis.

  • Determination of tone value increase from a printed image
    Patent number: 10659660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing printed images are provided. One system includes a processing circuit configured to: determine a set of one or more locations on the printed image on the substrate to measure color values; determine a set of input tone values for the at least one ink; receive a set of measured color values corresponding to the set of locations on the printed image from a sensor; and determine a tone value increase error based on the set of measured color values and the set of input tone values. The at least one processing circuit is configured to determine the tone value increase error without requiring measured color values from an area having solid ink.
