  • Publication number: 20240093829
    Abstract: Pole mounts, pole mount kits, and poly mount assemblies are disclosed. Each kit and assembly includes a pole mount with a mounting bracket including a pair of coupling plates and at least one retaining plate. The pair of coupling plates is coupled to opposite ends of the at least one retaining plate. The at least one retaining plate defines a mounting area between the pair of coupling plates. The pole mount further includes at least two retaining brackets coupled to the at least one retaining plate. Each of the retaining brackets includes a base, opposing side walls extending from the base, and a front wall extending from the base and located between the opposing side walls. The base, the opposing side walls, and the front wall define a retaining area. The front wall defines a cutout region contiguous with the retaining area.

  • Publication number: 20240079121
    Abstract: A TRS workflow is registered in a cloud-native biomedical informatics platform, and the TRS workflow includes at least one TRS_FQN. A workflow automation execution method applied in the cloud-native biomedical informatics platform includes providing a run sheet used to configure a sequencer to generate a first sequencing data. The run sheet includes a sample-specific metadata associating the first sequencing data, at least one TRS_FQN and a run identifier. The method further includes importing a first DRS object indicating the first sequencing data in response to the run sheet. A first WES_FQN is generated based on the run identifier and the at least one TRS_FQN and attached to the first DRS object. The method further includes performing a WES run running the TRS workflow on the first DRS object in response to the run sheet. The first DRS object is resolved based on the first WES_FQN.

  • Patent number: 11197794
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a turning air mattress, a turning air cell, and a control method for a turning air mattress. With structural arrangements of an upper portion and a lower portion of the turning air cell as well as inflation and deflation control, the turning air cell having an upper portion that is wider and a lower portion that is narrower can further assist a patient in body turning, enabling the patient to easily achieve a sufficient body turning angle, further reducing the risk of likeliness to pressure sores caused by the structure of the air mattress pressing against the body of the patient.

  • Patent number: 10675199
    Abstract: A patient support structure includes a first supporting part, a second supporting part and a third supporting part. The first supporting part includes a first resilient member; the second supporting part includes a second resilient member; and the third supporting part is between the first supporting part and the second supporting part. The first supporting part, the second supporting part and the third supporting part together define a supporting surface extending along a longitudinal axis, and the second resilient member includes a first supporting area and a second supporting area different in supporting strength.

  • Patent number: 9687082
    Abstract: A gas communication device comprises a main body, at least one gas delivery pipe and a cover. The gas delivery pipe is at least partially disposed in the main body and forms a gas outlet at one end; the cover is movably pivoted to the main body and comprises at least one sealing structure for correspondingly sealing the gas outlet, wherein the cover is movable along an axis relative to the main body and away from the gas outlet so as to break the seal of the sealing structure on the gas outlet such that the cover is rotatable relative to the main body to expose the gas outlet.
