Abstract: The present embodiments provide an integrated patient room having multiple features designed to enhance the safety, satisfaction and/or outcomes for a patient and/or caregiver. In one embodiment, the integrated patient room comprises at least one bed and at least one chair. The bed and the chair can each assume a wide range of positions, and can be pre-programmed into preferred positions. Further, the bed, chair, and/or other components in the patient room may be automatically synchronized with one another to facilitate transfer of a patient. A touch screen monitor with an intuitive graphical user interface may be employed as a communication portal. The functions of the bed, chair and/or other components in the room may be accessed and/or controlled through the communication portal.

Abstract: A distributed network (100) having power and communication distribution means (530) includes wireless sensors (1600) for generating spatial state signals. The state signals are received by a wireless coordinator (1700) on the network (530). Application devices (963) are controlled based on the received signals.

Abstract: Connector modules (1000, 1200, 1200?) connect into an electrical network (530) and also connect to sensors (1310) and controlled application devices (1390). In one embodiment, low voltage DC power is provided by the connector module (1200) to an occupancy sensor (1310), and the sensor (1310) transmits state signals back to the network (530) through the connector module (1200), for controlling the application devices (1390).

Abstract: A space division system (100) is disclosed, with the space division system (100) incorporating technology. The space division system (100) is disclosed as having a space divider (102) vertically suspended from a rail system (104). The rail system (104) includes a rail (106) with a pair of hanger clips (108) releasably secured to the rail (106) and capable of being moved along a continuum of the length of the rail (106). In one embodiment, the space divider (102) includes a main body (114) consisting of an opaque fabric. Associated with the main body (114) is lighting technology including a series of LED lights (116). Arrow lights (118) may be activated in an appropriate manner for emergency or other purposes. Color changing is also provided for purposes of wayfinding, signaling occupant activities or other external or internal circumstances.

Abstract: Remote duplex receptacle systems (1600, 16001) are used with power poles (1622), walls, floors or the like. One receptacle system (1600) includes a junction box (1602) with a conduit (1608) and patch cord (1614) extending therefrom. The system (1600) is programmable using a wand (892) to effect control relationships between the system (1600) and controlling devices (967).

Abstract: A rail system (100) is disclosed which may be employed within a commercial interior (102). The rail system (100) comprises a series of primary-tracks (130) in a spaced apart configuration. The rail system (100) also comprises a series of cross rails (132) releasably interconnectable to the primary tracks (130). The rail system (100) permits electrical and mechanical interconnections and reconfiguration of electrical and mechanical interconnections, for various functional accessories and communications.

Abstract: A ceiling system (20) with a vertical partition for providing space division in an open plan building environment is provided. The ceiling includes a frame (50) defining an interior portion and a generally flexible member (32) extending across the interior portion. A plurality of anchor members (34) connected to the ceiling system to a top surface. A reconfigurable vertical partition member (40,42,44) is connected to the ceiling.

Abstract: A ceiling system for the delivery of utilities to a workspace is provided. A plurality of anchors (34) is connected to a ceiling of a workspace. The anchors are arranged to form a grid. A plurality of substantially vertically extending support members (30) is attached to the anchors (34). The support members (30) are adapted to support a plurality of utilities and a ceiling member (12).
