  • Publication number: 20210212636
    Abstract: A flexible mat may be configured to be placed between a patient and a patient support apparatus. The flexible mat may be used for determining a condition of a patient based on LC resonator data. The flexible mat may include a set of one or more LC resonators. Each LC resonator may include a capacitor and an inductor and may be configured to oscillate at a frequency associated with a present capacitance of the capacitor. The flexible mat may also include circuitry configured to measure an oscillation frequency of at least one of the LC resonators. The circuitry may also be configured to convert the measured oscillation frequency to digital frequency data which may be indicative of the measured oscillation frequency. The circuitry may also be configured to determine, based on the frequency data, at least one of a position, a heart rate, or a respiration rate of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11013418
    Abstract: A system for identifying a location of a device includes a first antenna mounted to a plug. The first antenna surrounds one or more prongs of the plug, and the plug has a memory that stores a device ID. A second antenna receives the device ID from the first antenna when the plug is coupled to a power outlet. A controller uses a communication module to wirelessly transfer the device ID and a power outlet ID to a computer server. The computer server uses the device ID and the power outlet ID to determine the location of the device within a building.
