Publication number: 20240130916Abstract: A cervical traction assembly for use with a patient support apparatus includes an adjustment carriage track member including a connecting bracket assembly that releasably connects to a mount support member of the patient support apparatus. The adjustment track member includes a track body including a pair of opposing sidewalls that are spaced-apart from each other to define an elongated channel therebetween. Each sidewall includes a guide track that extends along a length of the respective sidewall. A rope angle adjustment carriage is located within the channel. The rope angle adjustment carriage includes a first track engagement member that is received by one of the guide tracks of one of the sidewalls and a second track engagement member that is received by another of the guide tracks of another of the sidewalls. The first track engagement member has a locked configuration that inhibits movement of the rope angle adjustment carriage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Allen Medical Services, Inc.Inventors: Kyle McKenney, Andrew David Clark

Patent number: 11919647Abstract: Thermal control system for aircraft main landing gear wheel wells and related methods are disclosed. An example thermal control system includes a conduit defining a fluid passageway between an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the conduit positioned in fluid communication with a landing gear wheel well and the outlet of the conduit positioned in fluid communication with the atmosphere. The conduit generates a pressure differential through the fluid passageway between the inlet and the outlet to exhaust heat from the landing gear wheel well to the atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Andrew David Clark, Thamir Rauf Al-Alusi, David William Kirkbride, Frederick T.

Patent number: 11223583Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for tracking of a conversation and management of multi-channel, multi-interaction customer conversations across multiple chat bots. One example system includes operations to receive a first signal comprising a first set of conversational input received via interactions with a conversational interface from a client device, the conversational interface associated with a plurality of chat bots and manages interactions between the client device and the plurality of chat bots. The received conversational input is analyzed to determine a context of the received conversational input based on characteristics of the received conversational input. A request is transmitted to an identified first chat bot associated with the determined context and a response is received from the identified first chat bot.
