Abstract: An asset tracking system may include a bridge device that wirelessly receives beacon data from one or several beacons that are disposed at respective devices, equipment, furniture, people, and the like. The bridge device may send the beacon data to a server via a communication network. The server may analyze the beacon data, such that the locations of people or objects may be estimated and monitored, and/or sensor data corresponding to measurable attributes of people or objects may be accumulated and monitored. The location of the bridge device may be estimated using signal strength measurements of beacon signals received from room beacons in combination with corresponding room identifiers. Alerts may be sent by the server to a user device responsive to the server determining that a person or object is in an unauthorized location and/or that a value of monitored sensor data exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securely positioning a patient's head during medical imaging are presented. A fixation device includes a headrest which may be provided with inflatable chambers to adjust the headrest to the patient's head, a neck section which may be adjustable, and a base designed to couple to a patient bed or gurney forming part of a medical imaging system. The fixation device allows adjustment of the patient's head to an orientation which may variously minimize scanning time, improve imaging results, and/or protect sensitive tissues from unnecessary irradiation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more centralized server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request to update an image on a client device connected via the network. A software running on the central computer uses a USB signal conversion software, running on a kit computer and connected to the client device, to simulate the client device being directly connected to the server computer through the network for re-imaging of the client device. A data transfer/charging switch software on the kit computer switches the amperage of the kit computer appropriately to accommodate a data transfer and charging mode for the client device.
