Abstract: A system and method for disinfecting medical devices includes a covering for a medical cart that exposes medical devices disposed on the cart to a disinfecting ultraviolet light. The covering includes a light emitting system that includes a number of UV light sources, such as LEDs, configured to define an ultraviolet light environment beneath the covering. The light emitting system may include one or more light pipes and/or optical fibers. systems and methods. An opaque layer of the covering contains the ultraviolet light environment beneath the covering. Portions of the light emitting system suspend from the covering so as to emit UV light between adjacent medical devices on the cart.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method provide a means for controlling an electric brake actuator. An electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) is configured to receive first data indicative of a desired braking force, second data indicative of a braking command generated by a brake input device, the second data different from said first data, and third data indicative of a braking mode. Based on the third data, the EMAC selectively uses the first data or the second data to control the actuator.
