The drive moves the pole to extend and retract the pole relative to the housing. A weight measurement assembly measures weight of a fluid within a fluid container hanging from the IV stand assembly. IV stand assemblies with a pulley/belt assembly and methods of operating IV assemblies are also provided.

Abstract: An e-vapor device may include a reservoir, a heater, and a bimetallic actuator. The reservoir is configured to hold a pre-vapor formulation. The reservoir defines an outlet configured to release the pre-vapor formulation therefrom. The heater is configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation released from the reservoir to generate a vapor. The bimetallic actuator may be configured to seal the outlet of the reservoir when vaping is not occurring and configured to unseal the outlet when vaping is occurring.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring features of a computing device of a distributed computing system using a self-monitoring module. The self-monitoring module can include multiple feature-specific monitoring modules and one or more parent nodes for the feature-specific monitoring modules. A feature-specific monitoring module can identify or detect a fault status change, such as a fault condition or fault resolution, for one or more features. Based on the identified fault conditions or fault resolutions, the feature-specific monitoring module can determine an internal status and communicate an updated status to a parent node.
