  • Publication number: 20230067167
    Abstract: A method of controlling a temperature of water delivered by a water heating system, includes providing communication device which is adapted to receive a communication from at least one mobile device, the communication device being located so as to determine when the at least one mobile device is within a predefined zone in which is located a pre-selected water access point. In response to a determination that the at least one mobile device is within the predefined zone, enabling a user selecting a temperature setting of the where the water heating system. The selection is wirelessly communicated to a receiver which is in communication with the water heating system.

  • Publication number: 20220346726
    Abstract: A shift compliance management system manages user compliance with recommendations for shift weight exercises to mitigate risk of a wheelchair user developing pressure ulcers. A sensing device includes an array of pressure sensors to sense the user's weight distribution and to detect timing and duration of weight shifts performed by the user. The sensing device communicates with a user application that assesses a compliance level of the sensed weight shifts with a set of weight shift recommendations for the patient. A compliance server collects patient data and may perform various analytics related to compliance. The analytical data may be presented to the wheelchair user and/or a caretaker to indicate compliance adherence.

  • Publication number: 20100253016
    Abstract: A collet adapter includes a spindle adapter body configured to removably mount to a non-collet-ready spindle of a machine (e.g., a lathe or machining center). The spindle adapter body has a collet seat configured to mate with a collet. The adapter also includes an adapter collar configured to removably mount to the spindle adapter. When the collar is mounted to the adapter body, it facilitates secure attachment of a device with a spindle mount to the machine via an enlarged mounting shoulder of the collar. The collar can be removed to provide improved radial access to a work piece being held by the spindle adapter body and a non-step collet.
