Publication number: 20240134412Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a monitor via a coupling which can be disengaged with an actuator. The monitor mount may be configured to detachably secure the monitor to a support structure via a clip. The monitor may have a reversible cover. The monitor may have a simplified back portion. The simplified back portion may omit couplings or electrical connections such that a back surface of the monitor is continuous. A rack is configured to detachably secure a module therein in multiple positions in which the module is mechanically connected to the rack and electrically connected or disconnected to the rack. The monitor may be a patient monitor and the module may be a patient monitoring module.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Peter A. LUND, Andrew T. PROVENCHER, Zachary K. HENNINGS, Rajesh S. RANE, Thomas SWYST, Christopher AISTON

Patent number: 11936137Abstract: A connector system includes a male connecter including a male housing defining a recess and a plurality of pins arranged within the recess; and a female connector including a female housing configured to be insertable into the recess of the male housing. The female housing includes: front and back portions; a pair of longitudinal sides that extend from the front portion to the back portion; a planar side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the planar side connecting first ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a rounded side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the rounded side connecting second ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a front surface defined at the front portion by the pair of longitudinal sides, the planar side, and the rounded side; and a plurality of sockets formed at the front surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: Andrew T. Provencher, Juan P. Eslava, John C. Magill, Noah Hennings, Peter A. Lund, Thomas Swyst, Christopher Aiston, Zachary K. Hennings, Rajesh S. Rane, Daniel Beinart

Publication number: 20240065641Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor is further configured to be detachably secured to the second monitor independently from either monitor being secured to the monitor mount. The second monitor includes a mounting area in which the first monitor is mounted, and the first monitor and the second monitor are configured such that the first monitor is interchangeably insertable into the mounting area from a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction that is opposite to the first lateral direction. Accordingly, the second monitor includes a dual-entry feature that enables the first monitor to be inserted from either lateral side of the second monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaAInventors: Clifford M. Risher-Kelly, John C. Magill, Zachary Kurt Hennings, Thomas Swyst, Christopher Aiston, Andrew T. Provencher, Peter A. Lund, Joseph Fallon, Ricardo Luis FERNANDEZ
