20130205501 | PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUS AND CONTROLS THEREFOR - A patient support apparatus system includes sensors adapted to sense a gesture of a person, or forces exerted by the person on the patient support apparatus, and to control the movement of a component of the patient support apparatus based on the gesture or forces. The movement of the patient support apparatus matches the direction of the person's gesture or applied forces. The speed of the gesture and magnitude of the applied force also influence the movement of the patient support apparatus component. The controlled movement may be the upward and downward motion of a patient support deck on the patient support apparatus, or it may be the pivoting of a section of the patient support deck, or it may be other movement. Control of the patient support apparatus is carried out based on the intent of the user, as evidenced by the user's gesture or applied forces. | 08-15-2013 |
20140076644 | POWERED PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUS - Powered patient support apparatuses—such as beds, cots, stretchers, or the like—include a plurality of user controls that allow a caregiver to control the steering and/or driving of one or more powered wheels from multiple different locations around the patient support apparatus (e.g. head end, foot end, and/or the sides). The control is carried out by force sensors that detect both an orientation of the applied forces and a magnitude of the applied forces. Translational and/or rotational movement is effectuated, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the forces, as well as the physical location of the applied force relative to a reference point on the support apparatus, such as the center. One or more object sensors may also be included in the support apparatus to assist in steering and/or navigating. | 03-20-2014 |

20090066150 | Cam Action Caster Assembly for Ride-On Devices - A caster assembly includes a wheel bracket, a wheel attached to the wheel bracket, a shaft about which the wheel bracket is free to rotate, and a cam assembly. The caster assembly is attached to the underside of a caster board, where the shaft is fixed perpendicular to the board, and the cam assembly comprises a cam track fixed to the board with the shaft at its center and a cam follower fixed to the wheel bracket. The cam track is geometrically formed to have a number of valleys and peaks along its circumference. As the wheel bracket rotates about the shaft, the cam follower engages the cam track and causes the board and the wheel assembly to move away and towards each other. The resulting forces generate or maintain a generally forward motion in the caster board, without the need for further efforts by a rider. The caster assembly further permits the rider to travel backwards as well as forwards. The cam track is easily changeable by the rider to accommodate various user preferences and skill levels. | 03-12-2009 |

20130198064 | Method and System for Administering Banking and Personal Savings Using a Mobile Computing Device - A system and method enables a user to determine a financial benefit from making at least one small sacrifice if the monetary value of the at least one small sacrifice were to be saved in a destination account, or directed to make a particular investment or to reduce a particular debt. The method and system provides the user with a forecasted short-tem and/or long-tem outcome should the at least one small sacrifice be made. When the user chooses to apply the monetary equivalent of at least one small sacrifice to a destination account, the system can then facilitate a secure financial transaction with their bank's server. This transaction deducts the amount, or series of amounts, from the user's chosen source account, typically a checking account, and applies the savings amount to the user's chosen destination account, e.g., a mortgage account or a savings account. | 08-01-2013 |

20120018992 | PRINTED SECURITY FEATURE FOR SECURE BOOKLETS - A security feature for use with secure booklets, especially those having a spine, for example passports, identification booklets and other types of ID3-sized documents. In one example, the security feature is printed across the spine of the booklet onto two adjacent pages. Most conventional, commercially available printers are unable to print across the spine, and therefore would be unable to reproduce the security feature. In addition, in the case of a booklet, for example a passport, that uses a stitching thread to secure the pages together, ink from the printed image bleeds into the thread. The presence or absence of ink in the thread can then act as an indicator as to whether or not the booklet is genuine or a counterfeit. Another security feature includes registration of a pre-print portion and a variable print portion that is applied during booklet personalization to form a combined image. | 01-26-2012 |
