Abstract: Techniques for identifying faults in a collaborative computing system including a plurality of disparate, geographically separated computing systems are described herein. An intelligent monitoring (IM) server computing system may receive data from the plurality of computing devices and may monitor the health of the collaborative computing system. The IM server computing system may analyze the data and identify one or more faults associated with a portion of the collaborative system (e.g., an associated computing device, platform, network, etc.). In some examples, the IM server computing system may be configured to identify potential future faults associated with the portion of the collaborative system. Based on the fault, the IM server computing device may determine an action to take to remedy the fault and/or prevent the potential future fault. The IM server computing device may either automatically perform the action or send a notification to the associated computing system to perform the action.

Abstract: The subject matter herein includes apparatus and techniques, such as can be used to automatically assess dominance of sensation. For example, a technique for such assessment can include generating a representation of two or more sensations for display to a user, receiving respective selections of respective sensations amongst the two or more sensations in response to display of the representation. As an example, receiving the respective selections of respective sensations can include obtaining data indicative of a magnitude of the respective sensations corresponding to the respective selections and obtaining data indicative of a temporal relationship between the respective selections, providing time-intensity and dominance of sensation data contemporaneously.

Abstract: A hospital bed includes a sleep deck having an upper portion, a middle portion, and a lower portion each defining a support surface and an underbody that defines a notch. An opening is defined by and extends through the upper portion. A space is defined between the upper portion and the middle portion. A mattress is disposed on the sleep deck. An outer mattress shell encases the mattress and includes a fold defined by a weld. A mattress retention assembly is coupled to the outer mattress shell. The mattress retention assembly includes at least one of a first magnet and a second magnet selectively coupling the mattress to the sleep deck, a portion of the mattress retention assembly extends between the outer mattress shell and the sleep deck, an affixing member disposed on the outer mattress shell, and a retention ridge extending through the sleep deck.

Abstract: A modular patient support apparatus includes linkages which provide advanced kinematics for moving portions of the patient support apparatus. The patient support apparatus includes a cantilevered lift system supporting an upper frame, the cantilevered lift system including a linkage configured to raise the upper frame in a substantially vertical direction, a telescopic cylinder engaged with the linkage, the telescopic extension and retraction of the cylinder causing the linkage to move, and a lift assist assembly, the lift assist assembly being loaded as the cantilevered lift system is lowered to impart a force on the linkage to reduce the load on the telescopic cylinder. The lift system includes an actuation system that operates manually or with power.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a support surface including a topper. An opening is formed in a side of the support surface. A cavity extends from the opening into the support surface. An inlet port is positioned within the cavity and fluidly coupled to the topper. A pneumatic blower is configured to removably position within the cavity and has an outlet port that couples to the inlet port.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus may include a support surface configured to conduct air along a top face of the support surface so that heat and moisture from a patient lying on the support surface are drawn away from the top face of the support surface. An opening may be formed in a side of the support surface. A cavity may extend from the opening into the support surface. An inlet port may be positioned within the cavity and fluidly coupled to the top face. A blower assembly may be configured to position within the cavity. The blower assembly may have an outlet port that couples to the inlet port when the blower assembly is positioned within the cavity. The blower assembly may conduct air through the inlet port to the top face of the support surface.

Abstract: A bed comprises a fixed width deck section, a wing movably coupled to the fixed width section, and a mechanism for extending and retracting the wing.

Abstract: A time-based wireless pairing operation between a medical device, such as a patient bed, and a wall module in a patient room is initiated in response to a power plug of the medical device being plugged into a power receptacle carried by the wall module. Times determined by timers of the medical device and the wall module are compared by the wall module or by the medical device so that wireless pairing occurs only with the medical device that was plugged into the wall module. Different types of plug detectors used in the wall module to detect connection of the power plug include optical detectors, mechanical switches, and current sensors.

Abstract: A bed comprises a fixed width deck section, a wing movably coupled to the fixed width section, and a rack and pinion mechanism for extending and retracting the wing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing compositions with enhanced color properties and to compositions obtainable by such a method, especially cocoa-based compositions with enhanced color properties. The method comprises the steps of providing an initial composition comprising a polyphenol, adding an aqueous base to the initial composition to produce an aqueous mixture, heating the aqueous mixture to a temperature of 50 to 100° C. during a time period of 120 to 300 minutes, cooling the aqueous mixture, and optionally adjusting the pH of the aqueous mixture to between 6 and 9. The method further comprises oxygenising the aqueous base and/or the aqueous mixture, wherein the produced food product comprises chromophores having an absorption maximum between 505 to 515 nm and/or 428 to 438 nm.

Abstract: A test meter and related method for monitoring the condition of a backlight battery of the meter in which the meter includes a housing, controller, display with backlight and a battery monitoring circuit. An off-time of the meter is measured and compared to a predetermined recovery time of the backlight battery. If the off-time of the meter is greater than the predetermined recovery time of the backlight battery, a voltage of the backlight battery is measured at a predetermined time after energizing the backlight and compared to a first predetermined voltage in excess of a threshold voltage of the backlight battery. If the measured voltage is less than the first predetermined voltage, the measured voltage is compared to a second predetermined voltage between the first predetermined voltage and the threshold voltage. A battery depletion warning is displayed if the measured voltage is less than the second predetermined voltage.
