Abstract: A patient slider device configured to move a patient from a first bed surface to a second bed surface positioned adjacent thereto. The patient slider device includes a frame, a bed engagement assembly and a patient pulling assembly. The bed engagement assembly includes a bumper with the bumper being adjustable relative to the frame. The patient pulling assembly includes a winch assembly, preferably positioned proximate a lower end of the frame, and a sheet engaging clamp assembly. The sheet engaging clamp assembly includes a base member and a locking member structurally configured to clamp a sheet therebetween.

Abstract: A method of charging an electric vehicle includes receiving data indicative of the power source system voltage during charging, determining a maximum voltage limit of the power source, and setting the maximum voltage limit as the limiting voltage of the power source. The maximum voltage limit may be the maximum permissible value of the system voltage during the charging.

Abstract: Vehicle depots or yards adapted to charge multiple electric vehicles include multiple charging electrodes to simultaneously direct power to multiple electric vehicles. The charging electrodes may direct power to the electric vehicles from an utility grid or from a secondary power source.

Abstract: Mechanisms for providing point to point encryption and tokenization enabling decryption, tokenization and storage of sensitive encrypted data on one system are discussed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure cloud provider communication are disclosed. A method may include receiving a request to transmit data from one of a first cloud provider, an entity network, and a second cloud provider to another of the first cloud provider, the entity network, and the second cloud provider. The method may further include determining levels of trust associated with the one of the first cloud provider, the entity network, and the second cloud provider and the another of the first cloud provider, the entity network, and the second cloud provider, wherein the levels of trust are based on endpoint control by the entity network. The method may also include transmitting the data from the one of the first cloud provider, the entity network, and the second cloud provider to a cloud security stack based on the determined levels of trust.

Abstract: A method of charging an electric vehicle at a charging station includes electrically connecting the charging station to the vehicle. The charging station may be configured to charge the vehicle using a charging station charge protocol and the vehicle may be configured to receive the charge using a vehicle charge protocol. The vehicle receives a signal indicative of the charging station charge protocol and selects the vehicle charge protocol based on this signal. The vehicle is then charged using the selected vehicle charge protocol. While selecting, the vehicle may select one charge protocol from multiple charge protocols supported by the vehicle to match the charging station charge protocol.

Abstract: A method of controlling an electric vehicle operating on a route includes receiving at a first time, at a control unit of the electric vehicle, data indicative of a condition of a stretch of the route that the electric vehicle will traverse at a second time later than the first time. The method further includes varying a cooling of a battery system of the electric vehicle, using the control unit, based on the received data.
