Abstract: A device for queue management which can receive and transmit a Short Message Service (SMS) text. The patient or customer would be the sender requesting a queue number via SMS. Phone caller ID will also be utilized. Thereafter the queue management device or computer system will generate a queue number and send back to the patient or customer via SMS the requested queue number, the estimated time of service and/or approximate time that customer must be present at the waiting hall as well as current number of customer being served. Also a LED display and computing device will display current queue number being served as well. The walk-in customer can also press the touch screen button to get the printed queue ticket. The printed queue number will be consistent and concurrent with queue numbers issued and sent to remote customers.

Abstract: An exit sensor bar for securing a door has an elongated housing and a mounting pad for mounting to a door. A circuit board assembly is disposed within the elongated housing in proximity to a blade of the mounting pad. The circuit board assembly includes at least an electro-optical source and an electro-optical detector coupled to a lock. The electro-optical detector selectively energizing and de-energizing the lock in response to the detection of light emitted from the electro-optical source. When a push force is applied to the elongated housing, the housing is displaced toward the mounting pad such that the blade obstructs light emitted from the electro-optical source. In response to the non-detection of the emitted light, the electro-optical detector de-energizes the lock freeing the door for egress.
