The cassette system including a frame, a plurality of lockable drawers slidably mounted to the frame, and a graspable handle configured for movement between a closed position where the handle is not accessible or graspable by a user and a released position.

Abstract: A medical station includes a movable cart and a cassette system. The cassette system includes a housing, a plurality of lockable drawers slidably mounted to the housing, and a drawer manual override configured to allow a hardware key to mechanically unlatch all of the drawers so that the drawers are capable of opening.

Abstract: A medical station includes a movable cart, a cassette system, and a computer system with a configuration map. The cassette system including a plurality of drawers. The configuration map includes, for each respective one of the drawers, a unique drawer identifier and an indicator of a location of the respective one of the drawers at the cassette system.

Abstract: A medical station includes a cassette system provided at a moveable cart. The cassette system includes locking drawers, proximity sensors, each of which is associated with one of the drawers, and a computer system with an input device. The computer system receives data from the proximity sensors to determine a position of each of the drawers.

Abstract: A medical station includes a cassette system provided at a moveable cart. The cassette system includes locking drawers and sensors, each associated with one of the locking drawers. A computer system provided at the moveable cart includes an input device. The computer system receives data from the sensors to determine a position of each of the drawers and prevent a second one of the drawers from moving into an opened position when a first one of the drawers is in the opened position.

Abstract: The invention includes a medical technology station and a method for using the medical technology cart. The station can be a portable cart that can be movable, such as rollable, and has a computer system. Attached to the cart is a housing that communicates with the computer system. Insertable in the housing is a cassette system that includes a series of drawers. The drawers are openable and preferably closeable on command from a user. The drawers have a readable unique drawer identifier that is readable by sensors in the cassette. The cassette also preferably includes proximity sensors, while the drawers contain a target for the proximity sensors. In use, an operator, with proper credentials, can, though the computer system, identify a drawer to be opened by the computer system. The cassette and drawers can be removed from the housing and transported to another location for filling of the drawers with medications or other supplies.

Abstract: The Universal Packet Loss Recovery System (UPLRS) is capable of recovering end-to-end network packet losses to obtain reliable end-to-end network delivery of multimedia streaming content over IP networks where packet losses appear above the transport layer. The UPLRS incorporates the use of Packet Forward Error Correction Coding (FEC) with packet interleaving processing prior to transport. Packet FEC is an error correction coding method at the packet level to improve link transmission reliability. At the source end of the packet-switching network, the Packet FEC scheme encodes a stream of transport multimedia content packets by including redundant packets in the stream to allow for the recovery of lost packets by the Packet FEC decoder at the user end of the packet-switching network. Since lost packets appear only above the transport layer in the IP network protocol stack, Packet FEC can be viewed as a transport layer or an application layer coding method.

Abstract: The Quality Packet Radio Service enhances the slow General Packet Radio Service medium access procedure to include fast in-session access capability. In order to maximize spectral efficiency, all services in Quality Packet Radio Service are assigned uplink radio channel resources only when they have active data to send. A new set of common control channels is designed to provide these in-session network access capabilities. These channels support similar access and control functions as the General Packet Radio Service common control channels (such as Packet Random Access Channel, Packet Access Grant Channel) except they are used solely in Quality Packet Radio Service to implement in-session access. These common control channels are structured to meet the stringent low delay requirements for in-session access and are termed fast packet common control channels.
