  • Publication number: 20240058192
    Abstract: A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operatively coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism. The trolley can include a drive system, a control system, and a patient support system. The drive system is movably coupled to a support rail. At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9855177
    Abstract: A system includes a first trolley and a second trolley movably suspended from a support track. The first trolley includes a patient attachment mechanism configured to support a first patient. The first trolley is configured to move relative to the support track. The second trolley includes a patient attachment mechanism configured to support a second patient. The second trolley is configured to move relative to the support track such that the movement of the second trolley is independent of the movement of the first trolley. A collision management assembly is configured to be coupled to one of the first trolley and the second trolley. The collision management assembly includes a bumper that is configured to prevent the first trolley from directly contacting the second trolley.

  • Patent number: 6787259
    Abstract: A regulated DC power supply facilitates extended and uninterrupted power to a load by using a secondary power source such as a regenerative fuel cell that has its DC power output conditioned by a power converter. The DC power supply includes a rectifier that converts AC power from an AC power source to DC power for a load coupled to a DC bus. A fuel cell arrangement is electrically coupled to a power converter that is coupled in turn to the DC bus, the converter conditions an unconditioned DC power output of the fuel cell to the load. A system controller is communicatively coupled to the rectifier, the converter and to a fuel cell controller, the fuel cell controller initiating DC power output from the fuel cell arrangement upon detecting the AC power outage (or disengaging the fuel cell upon resumption of AC power).
