  • Patent number: 12224046
    Abstract: A charting system is provided for use in a healthcare facility having a network. The charting system includes a microphone to receive voice inputs from a caregiver. A vital sign monitor obtains a vital sign from a patient and displays it. The system includes a communication device having a voice-to-text module that includes a processor coupled to the microphone. The processor operates a voice-to-text algorithm that converts the vital sign into text in response to the caregiver dictating the vital sign into the microphone. The processor initiates transmission of the vital sign to an EMR computer via the network after conversion of the at least one vital sign to text.

  • Patent number: 5064053
    Abstract: A vibratory drive system for a vibratory conveyor apparatus is operable to selectively vary the conveying speed of the conveyor apparatus between zero, or stand-still, up to a maximum speed while the drive system is operating imparting a vibratory conveying force to the conveyor apparatus. The vibratory drive system is also operable to change direction of the conveyor apparatus between forward and reverse conveying directions also while the drive system is operating imparting a vibratory conveying force to the conveyor apparatus. In addition, the vibratory system can be adapted to provide either a linear drive force to the conveyor apparatus, or an elliptical drive force to the conveyor apparatus.
