    Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbH
    Inventors: Harold James Wade, Hongxaun Zhang, Anthony Lawrence
  • Patent number: 9782089
    Abstract: A system determines measured patient values for use in clinical calculations using an electronic form including, a first area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a first part of a cardiac catheterization study of a patient and a second area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a different second part of a cardiac catheterization study of the patient. A user interface enables a user to copy at least one of the parameters comprising a measured value from the first area to the second area as a substitute value eliminating a need for a re-measurement of the value. A calculation processor automatically calculates a cardiac flow value for incorporation in the second area in response to the measured value being copied into the second area.

  • Publication number: 20160128467
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a furniture height adjustment system. The system has a height adjust system positionable on or adjacent a work surface of a furniture component, wherein the work surface is movable elevationally between lowered and raised positions. The height adjust system has a processor and a height adjust setting control in communication with the processor. The height adjust setting control has user actuatable controls for enabling a user to set and store at least one elevational position for the work surface. The processor monitors movement of the work surface when the user is moving the work surface to a previously stored elevational position and generates a signal when the work surface reaches the stored elevational position.

  • Publication number: 20160127809
    Abstract: A work desk system is disclosed which is integrated into a corporate work environment. The work desk system includes a work desk which can be raised and lowered to promote performing various activities such managing email, carrying out a telecon, participating in a webinar, while standing rather than seated. The system is able to determine from the user's calendar when certain events are upcoming that could be performed while standing, and is able to notify the user with a message on the user's computing device of the opportunity to perform the event while standing. The system is able to monitor whether the user is seated or standing, in one implementation using an intelligent caster associated with a chair present at the work desk. The system also logs the accumulated time that the worker spends standing, and shares the information with other subsystems (health applications, health care provider, corporate entity that employs the user, etc.).
