A method of decurling media supplied by a media supply roll includes determining an amount of media remaining in a form of a media supply roll and forming a media decurling path having a wrap angle around a decurling roller corresponding to at least the amount of the media remaining in the form of the media supply roll.

A cover (100) having one or more openings (106,107) and one or more complementary closure devices (112,113) fits about a fluid drain bag, such as a urinary catheter drain bag (301). The cover (100) can be configured to be both partially transparent and partially opaque. Accordingly, a health services provider (401) can instantly perform rudimentary analyses of the fluid level (401) with a quick glance, yet can perform more in-depth analyses by lifting a front panel (102) at the lower opening (107). The in-depth analysis can be done without removing the cover (100). The cover 100 is also semiopaque, thereby protecting patient dignity by obfuscating the cover's contents.
摘要:
A unified communications system is configured for receiving, storing, and/or sending SMS messages based on management of the SMS messages according to a prescribed open standards-based protocol. The unified communications system includes an SMS module configured for receiving SMS messages according to SMPP protocol. The SMS module obtains source and destination information from the received SMS message, and accesses a subscriber profile directory for subscriber profile information based on at least one of the source and destination information. The SMS module generates a common format message that includes the SMS message, and selectively supplies the common format message to selected destinations based on the accessed subscriber profile information. The common format message may be stored in a prescribed message store, for example an IMAP directory, or output as an e-mail message to a prescribed destination. The SMS module also is configured for selectively supplying stored messages to a unified messaging subscriber as an SMS message based on the profile information on the unified messaging subscriber. Hence, the unified communications system enables SMS messaging users to send SMS messages to non SMS-type devices (e.g., telephones, e-mail clients, etc.) and retrieve stored common format messages (e.g., fax, e-mail, voice messages) using the SMS message system.

A notification architecture utilizes multiple processes configured for managing notification operations based on reception of SMTP-based messages within IMAP based message stores. The notification architecture enables use of multiple instances of a notification process, each configured for receiving notification messages for respective subscribers from messaging sources according to a prescribed open protocol such as Internet Protocol. Each notification process accesses subscriber profile information from an open protocol-based subscriber directory based on the received notification messages. Each notification process determines, for each received notification message, the subscriber's notification preference based on the accessed profile information, and selectively outputs a notification delivery message according to a prescribed open protocol to at least one notification delivery process within the notification architecture based on the subscriber's notification preference. Each notification process may have access via the prescribed open protocol to multiple notification delivery processes, each configured for outputting a notification to a subscriber's notification device according to a corresponding device protocol. Multiple instances of each type of notification delivery process may also be utilized for increased capacity. Hence, subscribers may be notified of events according to their respective preferences, including subscriber device type, or time of notification. Moreover, the notification architecture can be scaled without adversely affecting any existing instances of the notification process or the notification delivery processes.
摘要:
A method of detecting fluid drops ejected from a fluid applicator unit having nozzles. The method includes establishing a detection zone to detect detection fluid drops transmitted therein and ejecting a set of detection fluid drops through a set of nozzles of the fluid applicator unit through the detection zone to a detection receiving member. The method also includes ejecting a set of warm-up fluid drops through an other set of nozzles to a warm-up receiving member in a manner in which the set of warm-up fluid drops bypasses the detection zone. The method also includes detecting the set of the detection fluid drops ejected into the detection zone.

A motor housing and brush holder device is constructed, as by molding, in such a manner as not to require any machining operations subsequent to its being molded and assembled, and it can be molded of either conductive or nonconductive materials. The housing, in this case, is of nonconductive high impact strength material and is a single preformed molded piece. The housing includes an integrally molded generally cylindrical stepped bearing recess or pocket for the end of an armature shaft and brush holders spaced axially and radially of the bearing recess. The shape of the bearing and its keeper is unique as well as the brushes and associated structures and the manner in which they supply power to the windings of the stator field coils.

A linear LED display case light provides an adjustable swath of light. The swath of light emanates from a linear LED array residing in a generally round or polygonal cross-section housing. The housing has two polarity sensitive ends and is slidably coupled by sliding drums to two electrically conducting vertical rods located at each end of the housing, by adjustable couplings. The drums include locks for holding a vertical position on the rods. Machine screws having a smooth cylindrical belt under screw heads, pass through springed contacts, providing a horizontal axis of rotation for the housing to adjust the swath of light forward and rearward. The springed contacts electrically connect the vertical rods to the linear LED array. The vertical rods are secured to a solid surface and are electrically connectable to a power source.

Printed instructions can be included with the tray in a medical procedure kit.—The printed instructions can include instructional material, such as pictorial, step-by-step instructions intended for a health care services provider for using the medical procedure kit. The printed instructions can also include a separate patient aid, suitable for inclusion within the medical procedure kit, which includes patient education information relating to a particular medical procedure. To make recognition easier, the patient aid can be configured with a greeting card appearance, activity sheet appearance, or other graphical indicia that indicates that the patient aid is intended for the patient and should be delivered to the patient.
