  • Publication number: 20240415713
    Abstract: A patient bed has a pedal that is engaged by a user's foot to control a feature of the patient bed. The patient bed also has a user input such as a control panel or graphical user interface (GUI). The user input deploys from a storage position to a use position in response to engagement of the pedal by the user. For example, the user input deploys automatically out of a cavity in a siderail of the patient bed to a use position in response to a brake pedal of the patient bed being moved to a brake position to brake casters of the patient bed.

  • Publication number: 20240390202
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include a person-support apparatus, which includes a mattress, a person-support apparatus frame, and a siderail. The siderail assembly may be pivotally coupled to the person-support apparatus frame. The siderail assembly includes a siderail, a drop surface, and a siderail adjustment mechanism. The drop surface is configured to be raised and lowered relative to a deck section of a person-support apparatus so as to widen or narrow the width of the deck section. The siderail adjustment mechanism has a rail end and a frame end. The drop surface is removably attached to the siderail. The rail end of the siderail adjustment mechanism is pivotally coupled to the siderail. The frame end of the siderail adjustment mechanism is pivotable relative to the person-support apparatus frame such that pivoting the siderail adjustment mechanism moves the siderail assembly between a raised position and a lowered position.

  • Publication number: 20240335938
    Abstract: A wearable exoskeleton and methods of use are discussed herein. The exoskeleton comprises two shoulder bridges connecting a front harness and a back structural plate over shoulders of a user's body, and a back elastomeric element, connected to a tension cable system with shoulder clutches in which the tension cable can be reeled in or out, positioned to follow the back functional line of a user's body with a pre-tension cable system which all together form an artificial myofascial tension line in the exoskeleton. Other elastomeric elements may follow other user's body's myofascial lines to form the other artificial myofascial tension lines and to assist the user in handling objects.

  • Publication number: 20240265926
    Abstract: A hybrid edge and cloud system for detecting and identifying bird vocalizations including an edge device having an edge neural network. The edge neural network is trained with audio samples for making predictions about identification of the bird vocalizations. The system includes an audio sensor connected to the edge neural network for sending sound information to the edge neural network. The system includes a cloud computing system having a cloud neural network for processing the sound information, a first storage service, a second storage service, and a hit table which stores metadata about sound detections. The edge neural network generates a score for each of the trained audio samples based on predictions made from a sound audio clip and selects a top scoring audio sample. The hybrid edge and cloud system includes a browsing device having access to the cloud computing system and may request information from the hit table.
