Abstract: A system for signaling an overload of a foam mattress, including a foam mattress having a plurality of conductive inserts located near a bottom surface and a contact pad positioned below the bottom surface of the mattress. The system may generate an overload alarm signal as a function of receiving one or more signal outputs from the sensor over a period of time. The system may also generate an overload alarm signal as a function of receiving a plurality of individual signal outputs from a plurality of one or more conductive inserts located within a predetermined area of the sensor.

Abstract: A reclining chair or the like provides a set of base-mounted extendable arms that extend outward as the chair reclines to brace the chair against tipping. A force-limiting coupler allows the reclining mechanism and the extendable arms to be linked while maintaining different force regimes.

Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly having a wheelchair and a wheelchair rigging receptacle. The wheelchair may include an appendage support rigging that is releasably affixed to the frame and configured to support a user's appendage, e.g. foot, when in use. The assembly also provides at least one receptacle configured to retain the appendage support rigging within, when the appendage support rigging is not affixed to the frame. The receptacle may comprise two opposing flexible side walls, a rear wall extending between the side walls, and a bottom extending between a lower edge of the walls to define an interior cavity between an inner surface of the wall and the base that has a width approximately equal to a width of the appendage support rigging. The receptacle also includes at least one mounting device to affix the receptacle to the anti-tip bar of the wheelchair at the rear of the seating surface.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, mechanisms (which can, for example, include systems, methods, and media) for harmonizing procurement across distribution networks with heterogeneous product availability are provided. In some embodiments, a method for automatically generating an order guide for a facility associated with an organization is provided, the method comprising: presenting items available in first, second portions of a distribution network; presenting items available via the network; creating a general order guide, and adding a first item thereto; determining that the first item is unavailable and a second item is available in the first portion; identifying substitutes, including the second item, for the first item; generate a facility order guide with items in the first portion based on the general order guide; automatically selecting the second item for the facility order guide; and associating the facility order guide and facility.

Abstract: A clinical data interface device provides integrated portions of the electronic medical record system to identify and confirm a patient file for receiving data and personality modules for receiving and translating data from a variety of clinical device monitors for that identified patient.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, mechanisms (which can, for example, include systems, methods, and media) for maintaining components of a unit are provided. In some embodiments, a method comprises: receiving an indication that a unit is ready to be turned; generating a customized user interface for assessment of the unit based on a template; receiving a request, from a remote computing device, for the user interface; causing the remote device to present the user interface; receiving, via the remote device, input indicating that a component should be replaced; receiving, from the remote device, an image of the component; receiving, from a second remote computing device associated with a designated user, input indicating that replacement of the first component is approved; and causing a notification to be presented via the remote computing device indicating that replacement of the first component is approved.

Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly having a wheelchair and a lift assembly to urge the seat surface upward with respect to the frame from a lowered position when supporting the seated individual during use to an elevated position with respect to the frame assisting the individual during ingress or egress to or from the wheelchair. The lift assembly may include a mechanical linkage and an actuator. The assembly also provides at least one brake configured to block rotation of the wheelchair wheel with respect to the wheelchair frame in a locked state and disengaging with the wheels to allow rotation of the wheel with respect to the frame in an unlocked state. The assembly also provides a brake linkage communicating between the lift assembly and the brake to move the brake into the lock state when the seat surface moved to the elevated position.

Abstract: A reclining chair or the like provides a set of base-mounted extendable arms that move forward as the chair reclines, and the leg rest extends to brace the chair against forward tipping, for example, if weight is applied to the leg rest without the counterbalance of an occupant. When the leg rest retracts, the arms pull back to reduce tripping hazard.

Abstract: A wireless patient monitoring system employs room units to collect and display information from a variety of room based sensors, the latter of which may be battery-powered and have low range. The room units may relay collected data from the associated sensor units and, as identified to the room unit, to a central controller.

Abstract: The formation of wrinkles in bed sheets used on mattresses of the type having elevated side bolsters and the tendency of the sheets to come off when the mattress is articulated are reduced through the use of a fitted sheet having conforming pockets receiving the side bolsters. Stabilization of the upper sheet surface by the pockets is augmented in some embodiments through use of a stitch line placed along a seam on the inside of the pockets and/or by un-pocketed spans of the upper surface of the sheet connecting directly to an elastically retained skirt.
