Abstract: Electronic bulk vending machine assemblies and systems for remote actuation. A method includes receiving an indication that a payment has been processed for a product stored in a vending machine, wherein the vending machine is one of a plurality of vending machines in electronic communication with an electronic vending controller. The method includes providing a notification to the electronic vending controller indicating the payment for the product was processed. The method includes instructing the electronic vending controller to actuate a disbursement mechanism for the vending machine to automatically disburse the product.

Abstract: A patient care system is disclosed that includes a medical device such as an infusion pump. The medical device generates a data message containing information such as the status of the therapy being delivered, operating data or both. An alarm generating system assesses the data message from the pump and generates an alarm message if certain conditions established by a first set of rules are met. The alarm message is assessed according to a second set of rules as to whether to suppress the alarm message. The data message contains a required input for both the first and second algorithms. A dispatching system is adapted to forward the alarm message to an alarm destination according to a third set of rules. The alarm destination expresses an alarm upon receipt of the alarm message.

Abstract: A picture generating unit comprises a display device arranged to display a hologram of a picture; and spatially modulate light in accordance with the displayed hologram to form a holographic reconstruction of the picture on a replay plane. The holographic reconstruction comprises a picture area and a non-picture area. The picture generating unit comprises an active mask in or downstream of the replay plane, the mask comprising a propagation area arranged to allow propagation of light along a projection axis, and a non-propagation area arranged to prevent propagation of light parallel to the projection axis. The propagation area and the non-propagation area share a boundary adjustable to change one or more physical parameters of the propagation area. The picture generating unit further comprises a drive means arranged to adjust the boundary to change the one or more physical parameters of the propagation area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving auto-programming requests to deliver medication at an infusion pump. The pump may receive the request and analyze the auto-programming settings. The infusion pump may also compare the auto-programming settings with program settings stored in a drug library. When the pump detects an error in the auto-programming request, the pump may generate and display an error message that specifically identifies the cause of the error. The pump may also display a suggested action that may be taken to eliminate the error message.

Abstract: A head-up display system includes an eye-box having a first and second dimension, an image projector including a picture generating unit and an optical system, and a movement assembly. The picture generating unit includes a spatial light modulator arranged to spatially modulate light in accordance with a hologram. The optical system relays the spatially modulated light to an optical combiner. The movement assembly moves at least a portion of the image projector rectilinearly between a plurality of positions such that at least one component of the picture generating unit is moved together with the optical system. Spatially modulated light relayed to the optical combiner forms a virtual image viewable from a sub-eye-box having a position in the first dimension being dependent on the position of the at least a portion of the image projector. The eye-box is the sum of the sub-eye-boxes associated with each of the plurality of positions.

Abstract: A head-up display arranged to form a virtual image viewable from an eye-box area. The head-up display is arranged to received picture content within a sub-region of a substantially quadrilateral display area. The head-up display further comprises an optical relay system arranged to relay the received picture content to an eye-box of the head-up display such that a virtual image of the picture content is visible therefrom. The optical relay system comprises at least one optical component shaped in correspondence with the shape of the sub-region. The shape of the eye-box area is non-rectangular such as a corner-cropped rectangular shape or elliptical shape.
