  • Systems and methods for controlling robotic movement of a tool based on a virtual boundary
    Patent number: 11944396
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling robotic movement of a tool based on one or more virtual boundaries. The system comprises a tool and a manipulator to support the tool. A control system controls operation of the manipulator and movement of the tool based on a relationship between the tool and the one or more virtual boundaries associated with a target site. The control system includes a boundary handler to determine whether the tool is in compliance with the one or more virtual boundaries or is in violation of the one or more virtual boundaries.

  • WIRELESS SERVICE TECHNOLOGY FOR PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUSES
    Publication number: 20220344040
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus and a portable service tool are adapted to communicate with each other in order to allow a user of the service tool to wirelessly update software executed by the patient support apparatus. In some embodiments, the patient support apparatus displays a coded message that encodes network credentials (e.g. SSID, password, etc.) and the software tool is adapted to capture an image of the coded message, decode the message, and then set up a wireless network having the decoded network credentials. The patient support apparatus then automatically joins the network and receives one or more wireless software updates. The service tool may alternatively or additionally connect to a healthcare facility network and upload software to a server thereon, which then downloads the software to the patient support apparatus over the healthcare facility computer network.
