Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a monitor via a coupling which can be disengaged with an actuator. The monitor mount may be configured to detachably secure the monitor to a support structure via a clip. The monitor may have a reversible cover. The monitor may have a simplified back portion. The simplified back portion may omit couplings or electrical connections such that a back surface of the monitor is continuous. A rack is configured to detachably secure a module therein in multiple positions in which the module is mechanically connected to the rack and electrically connected or disconnected to the rack. The monitor may be a patient monitor and the module may be a patient monitoring module.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a base component having a center axis and at least two index positions. The apparatus also includes a rotational component coupled to the base component. The rotational component is configured to circularly maneuver about the center axis between the at least two index positions. A docking receptacle of the apparatus is coupled to the rotational component and is configured to receive a monitor having an electronic visual display. The apparatus also includes a handle configured to facilitate maneuvering of the rotational component.

Abstract: A thermal enclosure for a computer having a processor and a display is disclosed and may include an inner case. The thermal enclosure may further include a heat sink attached to the inner case and thermally connected to the processor. The heat sink may have an outer heat dissipation channel. The thermal enclosure may also include an outer housing that at least partially the envelops the inner case. The outer housing may have a rear housing portion and a front housing portion. The rear housing portion, the front housing portion, and the outer heat dissipation channel may define a heat dissipation opening that may have an overall width, W, and an overall depth, D, the outer heat dissipation channel may be recessed within the heat dissipation opening and W and D may be adapted to prevent a human finger from coming into contact with the outer heat dissipation channel.

Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor and the second monitor may have different sizes. Any of the monitors may be a patient monitor.

Abstract: A connector system includes a male connecter including a male housing defining a recess and a plurality of pins arranged within the recess; and a female connector including a female housing configured to be insertable into the recess of the male housing. The female housing includes: front and back portions; a pair of longitudinal sides that extend from the front portion to the back portion; a planar side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the planar side connecting first ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a rounded side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the rounded side connecting second ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a front surface defined at the front portion by the pair of longitudinal sides, the planar side, and the rounded side; and a plurality of sockets formed at the front surface.

Abstract: A connector includes a connector array of magnets having a first magnetic polarity pattern. A port includes a port array of magnets having a second magnetic polarity pattern that is complementary to the first magnetic polarity pattern. The connector is guided and aligned toward a mounted position in which the connector is retained on the port. The guiding and the aligning is through both (i) attraction when the connector is properly aligned to the port and (ii) repulsion when the connector is improperly aligned to the port. The port further includes a securing magnet configured to be activated when the connector reaches the mounted position, to magnetically secure the connector to the port.
