  • Publication number: 20230329933
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, communicates with an electronic medical record (EMR) system in healthcare facility. The hospital bed includes a patient support structure to support a patient, a graphical user interface coupled to the patient support structure, and control circuitry coupled to the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface displays at least one input that may be used by a caregiver to chart data into an electronic medical record (EMR) of a patient supported by the patient support structure.

  • Patent number: 4127555
    Abstract: A method of producing pigmented extrudates or mouldings from an unpigmented thermosetting moulding material, which comprises roughly blending a pigment component with an aminoplast moulding material substantially free from pigment and having an average particle size not greater than 150 microns, and completely dispersing the pigment compound through the aminoplast moulding material by progressing the rough blend through an extruder or injection moulding machine having a barrel grooved in accordance with German Offenlegungschrift No. 2514307, and extruding or injection moulding the resulting pigmented material.
