Patent number: 10732022Abstract: A system and method for real-time management of liquid bottles contents in a restauration establishment includes a controller and at least one bottle support base coupled to the controller. Each bottle support base includes a bottle-receiving surface, a first sensor that produces a first signal indicative of a weight of a bottle deposited on the surface; a second sensor for reading an identification element on the bottle and for producing a second signal indicative thereof; and a transmitter for transmitting to the controller data indicative of the first and second signal. The controller implements numerous functionalities that are derived from its assessment of the volumes of alcohol in the bottles using the data received from the support bases.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Apéros Systèmes Inc.Inventors: Gilles Clément, François Hébert, Mathieu Beaupré, Michel Corriveau

Patent number: 10470958Abstract: A patient lift connector for attaching and detaching a patient lifting bar to a load supporting member in a patient lifting system is described. The connector includes a connector body including a connecting block configured to be fixedly attached to the patient lifting bar. The connector also includes a pin holder coupled to the load supporting member and configured to be inserted through the connector body and into the connecting block, and an attachment latch secured to the connector body and configured to move between an open position and a closed position within the connector body. When the attachment latch moves from the closed position to the open position, the pin holder is allowed to be inserted into the connecting block and thereby allow the lifting bar to be attached to the load supporting member.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: ArjoHuntleigh Magog Inc.Inventors: Martin Faucher, Michel Corriveau, Denis-Alexandre Brulotte

Publication number: 20180028384Abstract: It is often required in the medical industry to have devices, such as patient lifters, anchored to the ceiling. A system and method have been developed to resolve various challenges posed by installation of ceiling tracks intended to be used with patient lifters. The QTTB allows gaining in installation speed while increasing its inherent safety by the reduction of component hence the reduction of required human operations and verifications. The system comprises a bracket for supporting the track and a load, the bracket comprising a T-shaped member; and an attachment member affixed to the ceiling and adapted for receiving the bracket; the T-shaped member being adapted to rotate within the track from a first position to a second position, wherein, in the second position, the track is substantially unable to move along an axis of the attachment member. A tool may be used to rotate the bracket.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Jonathan BENOIT, Christian DEGRACE, Michel CORRIVEAU, Nicholas KENT
