Abstract: A patient support apparatus for use in treating patients with behavioral health indicia, including a base supporting wheels for movement along a floor surface, a litter for supporting a patient, and a lift mechanism to move the litter relative to the base between a lowered position and a raised position. A skirt barrier having a bottom edge defining a periphery is operatively attached to the litter for concurrent movement with the litter between an exposed configuration and a shield configuration. The exposed configuration corresponds to the raised position and is defined with the bottom edge spaced vertically above the base. The shield configuration corresponds to the lowered position and is defined with the bottom edge arranged adjacent to the floor surface and with the periphery extending around the base to at least partially limit external access to the base.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a distributed automated mobile vehicle (“automated mobile vehicle”) system for autonomously delivering orders of items to various delivery locations and/or autonomously returning items to a return location. In some implementations, each user may own or be assigned their own automated mobile vehicle that is associated with the user and an automated mobile vehicle control system maintained by the user. When the user orders an item, the user owned or controlled automated mobile vehicle navigates to a materials handling facility, retrieves the ordered item and delivers it to the user.

The integrated optical components include silicon nitride waveguides, a Pockets effect phase shifter (e.g., BaTiO3 phase shifter), a superconductive nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD), an optical isolation structure surrounding the SNSPD, a single photon generator, a thermal isolation structure, a heater, a temperature sensor, a photodiode for data communication (e.g., a Ge photodiode), or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A spark plug includes a central electrode member and an outer electrode member. The central electrode member includes a central base and a plurality of electrode prongs extending in an axial direction from the central base. The outer electrode member surrounds the central electrode member. The outer electrode member includes a wall that is radially spaced from the plurality of electrode prongs to allow a series of electric arcs to form between the wall and the plurality of electrode prongs. The outer electrode member and the central electrode member are sized and positioned relative to one another such that a first rate of wear of the outer electrode member, along a longitudinal axis of the spark plug, is substantially equal to a second rate of wear of the central electrode member along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A novel foot support device includes a first sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a first foot, a second sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a second foot, and a backwall adapted to engage both the plantar region of the first foot and the plantar region of the second foot. In a particular embodiment, the first sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, the second sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, and the backwall includes an inclined interior surface. In another particular embodiment, the foot support device includes sidewalls and a backwall that can flatten and pivot relative to one another, facilitating a collapsible foot support device.

Abstract: A plurality of access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site within a geographic region and a management system (NMS) configured to manage the plurality of APs are described. An AP device sends, to the NMS, a message including version information of hardware compliance data currently stored at the AP device. The NMS determines, based on the version information, whether the first version of the hardware compliance data stored at the AP device is in compliance with applicable regulations of the geographic region. When the first version is not in compliance, the AP device receives, from the NMS, a second version of the hardware compliance data that is in compliance with the applicable regulations of the geographic region. The AP device enables operation of one or more hardware components of the AP device in accordance with the second version of the hardware compliance data.

Abstract: Operating a gaseous fuel engine system includes urging a mixture containing a gaseous hydrogen fuel and air into a pocket in an igniter fluidly connected to a cylinder to form an ignition charge, and igniting the ignition charge via a flame kernel formed by energizing spark electrodes of the igniter. The method further includes igniting a main charge containing the gaseous hydrogen fuel via a flame jet of the ignition charge from the igniter. The pocket is shielded from the cylinder sufficiently to form within the pocket a flow field protecting the flame kernel, while fluidly connected to the cylinder sufficiently to clear the pocket of residual combustion gases.
