Patent number: 10117798Abstract: A system for determining a location of a patient on a hospital bed comprising: at least one deformation sensor adapted to generate a signal indicative of a deformation of a frame of the bed; a location determination unit for determining a lateral and/or longitudinal location of the patient based on the deformation of the frame. A method for monitoring an exit of a patient from a hospital bed comprising: determining a patient location on the bed based on measured deformation and generating an alarm signal if the determined location is outside a predetermined area. A weight sensing system for a hospital bed having a base with a suspended frame suspended from a fixed frame comprising: a load sensor connecting the suspended frame and the fixed frame via a suspension member which is unsecured from the fixed frame to allow free vertical movement of the suspended frame relative to the fixed frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Guy Lemire, Richard Labbe, Jimmy Laflamme, Sylvain Lacasse, Steve Bolduc, Luc Landry, Jean-Philippe Beaudet

Publication number: 20170252248Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tool manipulator, comprising a base, mountable on an operation table. A caliper is supported by the base and a tool holder is mounted on the caliper. An actuator positionable below a patient supporting surface of the operation table receives positioning commands for moving a tool in at least three degrees of freedom. The tool manipulator can be made part of a system for positioning a needle for diagnosis or treatment of the prostate of a patient. The system also comprises a power source connected to the actuator and a controller controlling the provision of the positioning commands to the actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2015Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Jean-Sebastien PLANTE, Genevieve MIRON, David BOUCHARD, Jerome MARCOTTE, Richard LABBE, Sylvain LACASSE, Claudia CHEVREFILS, Louis-philippe DION, David Mayen MORENO, Mathieu MERCIER

Patent number: 5482159Abstract: An improved pin kit with features to permit the locksmith to minimize errors in selection and use of lock pins in repinning of a lock. The kit comprises a case, preferably set at an angle, so that the pins located in a transparent pin tray, and indicia located on the underside of the transparent pin tray, are readily visible. The indicia identify pin sizes located in pockets of the pin tray, and are not prone to wear because they are protected by the transparent pin tray. Preferably, the indicia are color coded to match the similarly colored pins. A printed chart is affixed to the case, and also includes pin size identification correlated to the pin color.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: LAB Security Systems CorporationInventors: Gerald G.
