Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to docking systems for poles or other devices that can hold medical and/or accessory equipment, typically in a clinical or hospital environment, and can include associated docking systems for various devices such as beds, wheelchairs, walkers, wagons, and the like.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to poles with wheels with an onboard power unit that be longitudinally fixed in place and positioned about a medial position of the pole or may be configured to rise and lower in concert with wheels supporting the floor when on the floor and that can hold medical and/or accessory equipment, typically in a clinical or hospital environment.

Abstract: Field balancing may be performed with an irradiation system including a plurality of adjustable radiant-energy emitters. The irradiation system powers the radiant-energy emitters from a power source and radiant energy is emitted from the radiant-energy emitters, where an amount of radiant energy emitted from each emitter is capable of being varied based on power received from the power source. A plurality of radiant-energy sensors detects an amount of radiant energy which includes radiant energy created directly by at least one of the radiant-energy emitters. The amount of radiant energy detected at at least two of the radiant-energy sensors is compared, and at least one of the radiant-energy emitters is adjusted by varying the power received from the power source so that the amount of radiant energy detected at each of the radiant-energy sensors tends towards becoming approximately equal.

Abstract: An intravenous (IV) pole docking system for supporting medical equipment having a mast engaged to a base, the base having legs to support the mast and a lifting mechanism engaged to the base and the mast for moving the base along the mast in combination with an extension arm meant to reduce the IV pole footprint. The boom/IV pole system can reduce excess obstacles in and around hospital bed, surgical rooms and the like.
