  • Publication number: 20240130916
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11919647
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230275891
    Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a multi-applicant account profile are described. During a first remote session, a first applicant provides at least two pieces of contact data for second applicant. A unique link and a one-time password are transmitted to the second applicant using respective first and second pieces of contact data. A second remote session is initiated, in response to receipt of the one-time password, provided via the unique link. During the second remote session, identification information of the second applicant is provided. A new multi-applicant account profile is then created, after verifying the identification information of the first applicant and the second applicant.

  • Patent number: 11223583
    Abstract: 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. The response is transmitted to the client device for presentation.

  • Patent number: 10842288
    Abstract: A person support system is disclosed that includes cooling features to provide focal cooling to a subject supported by the person support system. Embodiments of the person support system include a longitudinal frame having at least one side rail, a deck position on the longitudinal frame, a support pad positioned on the deck, and a cooling source thermally coupled to the deck. The deck is a thermally conductive material. The cooling source draws heat from a portion of the support pad, through the top surface of the deck, and through the deck thereby cooling the portion of the support pad. The cooling source may be positioned in the side rail or directly to a bottom surface of the deck. Cooling systems that are removeably coupleable to person support systems are also disclosed.
