  • Patent number: 11994849
    Abstract: A system of exchanging information between machines is described. The system includes multiple communication modules with at least an infrared transmitter and receiver. At least one mobile robot having at least one said communication module. A receiving station communication module includes at least an opposing infrared transmitter and receiver. Each mobile robot identifies itself and communicates its intended tasks to a receiving station by sending a single pulse width encoded message. The encoding of information within the message occurs by the encoded message's timing.

  • Patent number: 11892108
    Abstract: A lever including a far end to engage an infusion tubing is provided. The lever includes a pivot end configured to fit into a shaft and to allow the lever to rotate about a shaft axis, the pivot end including a pocket to capture a spring having a leg protruding outside. The spring is configured to apply a bias from the lever against a door assembly. The lever includes a tab disposed on an outer side of the far end and configured to interface with the door assembly, and a pusher protruding into an inner side of the far end and configured to contact the infusion tubing when the far end engages the infusion tubing. The pusher applies a downward pressure to the infusion tubing when the door assembly is closed until the infusion tubing is properly aligned with an air-in-line sensor disposed on both sides of the tubing.

  • Publication number: 20210070346
    Abstract: An air-cooling system cover system for enclosing a child or pet carrier or stroller and cooling the enclosed air. The system includes a cover configured to be secured to the carrier or stroller and provide enclose a space to be cooled. The cover is connected by a hose to a cooler holding cooling material, such as ice or an icepack. A temperature-controlled fan on the cooler is configured to draw cool air from within the cooler and discharge, through the hose, the cool air into the enclosed space. A temperature sensor is disposed in the enclosed space to sense the air temperature therewithin. Based on the sensed temperature the fan is off or on. An audible alarm alerts if the sensed temperature is too high or too low for safety.
