Abstract: A modular patient support apparatus includes mechanisms, which provide advanced kinematics for moving portions of the patient support apparatus. The patient support apparatus includes a releasing assembly connected to the head deck section that assists in the raising and lowering of the head deck section by unlocking an adjustable-length strut. The patient support apparatus includes an over-center calf deck section mechanism that assists the user in pulling or holding calf deck section up when at or near a flat position, reducing the amount of input force needed to articulate the calf deck section, and self-retracting the calf deck section down when the calf deck section is at or near the fully articulated position.

Abstract: A waste disposal system with a waste receiver for receiving pharmaceutical waste material. A locking assembly is secured to a fixed surface and actuated from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. A lock cylinder of the locking assembly may extend forward of a front wall of a receiver body of the waste receiver to engage a locking feature of the cover in the locked configuration. A cover retention feature may prevent axial decoupling of the cover from the receiver body. The receiver body may be formed from two shells. A reaction agent is positioned within the container volume and spaced apart from a bottom wall of the receiver body. The reaction agent may be positioned within the container volume between the lock passageway and/or a solid receiver volume, and opposing sidewalls of the receiver body. A support may maintain the position of the reaction agent within the container volume.

Abstract: Techniques for generating and utilizing investigative playbooks for cloud security events are described. Activity is detected indicative of a potential compromise in association with a resource of a multi-tenant cloud provider network. API calls originated by a client are determined to utilize API methods that exist within a set of known API methods included in a formal model of attack tactics. Responsive to both the detection and the determination, an investigative playbook is executed, based on the activity, that includes multiple logical tests to generate an attack report that can be presented to a user such as a security analyst for use in investigating cloud security events.

Abstract: A collapsible detection antenna to detect electromagnetic tags of surgical articles in an operating room includes an antenna assembly configured to detect the electromagnetic tags. The antenna assembly is configured to move between a deployed configuration and a collapsed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the antenna assembly forms an antenna loop configured to detect the electromagnetic tags. The antenna assembly has a greater detection range in the deployed configuration than in the collapsed configuration. The deployed configuration corresponds to a tuned shape of the antenna assembly sufficient to detect the electromagnetic tags in the deployed configuration.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to provide a DTS machine that is simple to operate and can through human operator control provide economic and competitive throughput speeds as compared to more complex DTS machines utilizing multiple printing tunnels and material handlers. The present method repositions a print carriage and a reconfigures an inkjet printhead bank to accommodate different sizes and shapes of media. The allows for the printing of a single piece of media in a single each printing event, but maintains a printing throughput similar to DTS machines having the capability to print media in parallel printing events. Media is moved from a media loading area on the machine by a single operator into a printing tunnel and then the operator adjusts the angle of the media relative to a reconfigurable array of ink-heads to meet inkjet expression distance requirements.

Abstract: A system is disclosed to provide a DTS machine that is simple to operate and can through human operator control provide economic and competitive throughput speeds as compared to more complex DTS machines utilizing multiple printing tunnels and material handlers. The present invention utilizes a repositionable print carriage and a re-configurable inkjet printhead bank. The printing carriage is vertically positionable and tiltable, and includes a resizable spindle so that varying geometries of print media may be accommodated. The printer prints a single piece of media at each printing event, but maintains a printing throughput similar to DTS machines having the capability to print media in parallel printing events. Media is moved from a media loading area on the machine by a single operator into a printing tunnel and then the operator adjusts the angle of the media relative to a reconfigurable array of ink-heads to meet inkjet expression distance requirements.

Abstract: A vehicle can capture data that can be converted into a synthetic scenario for use in a simulator. Objects can be identified in the data and attributes associated with the objects can be determined. The data can be used to generate a synthetic scenario of a simulated environment. The scenarios can include simulated objects that traverse the simulated environment and perform actions based on the attributes associated with the objects, the captured data, and/or interactions within the simulated environment. In some instances, the simulated objects can be filtered from the scenario based on attributes associated with the simulated objects and can be instantiated and/or destroyed based on triggers within the simulated environment. The scenarios can be used for testing and validating interactions and responses of a vehicle controller within the simulated environment.
