Patent number: 9295331Abstract: A storage device having a locking mechanism includes a housing having a frame assembly. A storage device is movably received in the housing. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move a cam member. A latch is connected to the frame assembly and is moved by contact with the cam member from a latched position preventing access to the storage device in the housing to an unlatched position permitting access to the storage device. An unlock-all mechanism operates to move the latch to the unlatched position without operation of the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: InterMetro Industries CorporationInventor: Robert R.

Publication number: 20160015167Abstract: A mobile computer workstation is disclosed and generally includes a base assembly, a power supply, a column assembly, a tray assembly, a monitor support assembly and a tray controller. The power supply can be housed in the base assembly. The column assembly is linearly extensible and extends upward from the base assembly. The column assembly can carry the tray assembly and monitor support assembly. The workstation can be optionally configured with a variety of storage solutions for any of a number of work environments and tasks. The tray assembly can house a computer that is integrated into the workstation. The tray controller provides a measure of security for the workstation by allowing access to the workstation and control over its features only by authorized users.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2014Publication date: January 21, 2016Applicant: INTERMETRO INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventors: Fouad Geries ABU-AKEL, S.N.K.

Publication number: 20160019367Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: January 21, 2016Applicant: INTERMETRO INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey C. OLSON, Scott Curtis MILLER, James Leo KILGALLON, Tobin H. WILLIAMS, Paul PRICKETT, Karl HAIDEN, Scott HARSHBARGER, Adam TROUP, Patrick SWEENEY

Publication number: 20160006992Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2014Publication date: January 7, 2016Applicant: INTERMETRO INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventors: Carey ROBERTS, Jeffrey C.
