  • Distributive processing simulation method and system for training healthcare teams
    Patent number: 6918771
    Abstract: A simulation method and system based on a distributive processing model is used for training and educating healthcare teams. The system allows team members to be at the training facility or located remotely and connected via data communication links. The system allows multiple participants for individual team member roles at various connected simulation workstations. If simulation participants cannot man all the team roles, the system can provide virtual team members in their stead. The simulation server computer delivers to each workstation the particular programs and outputs required for any given simulation exercise.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus for tool storage and selection
    Patent number: 4486928
    Abstract: A tool rest has a plurality of tool storage locations for tools used at a work station. The tool rest is stationary relative to the work station. An automated robotic arm transports a tool between the tool rest and the work station. The arm movement is programmed to select a particular tool. The tools are releasably retained at their respective storage locations and are automatically released just prior to their transport to the work station, and are retentively held at their respective storage locations after return thereto.
