  • Publication number: 20250242195
    Abstract: A rehabilitation pedal structure for a hospital bed includes a footboard, a bottom plate pivotally mounted on two sides of the footboard, and two pedals elastically and pivotally mounted on the bottom plate. The footboard is provided with a slot. The bottom plate is pivotally mounted in the slot. The two pedals can be received in the slot. Each of the pedals is electrically connected with one of two monitors, a counter, and a microcontroller. The counter performs a counting action. When the two pedals are respectively stepped or pressed by a user's two feet or hands, the two pedals swing relative to the bottom plate respectively, and the two monitors indicate a swinging number of the two pedals respectively, to facilitate detection of exercise capacity and rehabilitation times of the user's two feet or hands.

    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods configured to prevent masquerading service attacks. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes sending, from a first server in a cloud environment, a communication request comprising an application programming interface (API) key and a first server identifier to an identity and access management (IAM) server of the cloud environment. The API key can be uniquely assigned by the IAM server to a first component of the first server. The first server receives a credential that includes a token for the first component and sends the credential to a second server. The second server sends the credential, a second server identifier, and an identifier for a second component of the second server to the IAM server.
