An extensible mast device allows a payload to be supported at a controllable distance from a supporting device. A motor driving a flexible strip provides a force through the flexible strip to extend the mast. The extended strip may have a curved cross section that provides some rigidity. A set of telescoping sections may enclose the strip. One or more of the sections may be flexible. In the event of an impact between the extensible mast and an object, such as a user, the flexible section and the strip yield to the impact and collapse. The extensible mast may be easily reset by lifting it back to a vertical position, with the flexible strip reasserting the curved cross section and the flexible sections resuming substantially the same shape as before the impact. A robot may use the extensible mast to elevate cameras or other sensors to a higher vantage point.

An extensible mast allows a payload to be supported at a distance from a supporting device. The payload may be connected via a cable to one or more components in the supporting device. A cable rotation apparatus allows a cable to rotate during dispensation of the cable, such as during extension or retraction of the extensible mast, while minimizing strain on the cable. The apparatus comprises a stationary spool, a furling core, and a rotating spool. A beveled gear on each of the spools engages a pair of beveled gears in the furling core. As the rotating spool rotates with respect to the stationary spool, the furling core rotates at one-half the speed and the cable is dispensed from an opening in the rotating spool. The furling core incorporates a guide wheel that maintains an orderly transfer of the cable from one spool to another.

A robotic assistant includes a base; an elevation mechanism positioned on the base; a display rotatably mounted on the elevation mechanism; a camera positioned on the display; and a control system that receives command instructions. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to detect movement of a face of the user in a vertical direction based on the images captured by the camera. In response to detection of the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction, the control system is to rotate the display and actuate the elevation mechanism to the move the display up and down to allow the camera to face the face of the user during the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction.

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes a body, a plurality of wheels, and control circuitry. The body sends and receives ultrasonic waves to generate an ultrasonic image. The plurality of wheels supports and moves the body. The assist wheel is electrically driven, and assists movement of the body. The control circuitry is configured to control switching between grounded and ungrounded of the assist wheel to a floor.

A carriage that records data while moving on a rail system including a first moving unit located on one side of the rail and configured to move along the rail, a second moving unit located on a different side of the rail from the first moving unit and configured to move along the rail, a spring unit configured to slide one or more of the moving units in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the rail, and a position maintaining unit located between the first moving unit and the second moving unit, wherein the position maintaining unit prevents the first moving unit or the second moving unit from sliding more than a predetermined distance when traveling along the rail.

The present disclosure discloses an electric lifting media wall, comprising a base, a lifting component including at least one group of lifting columns with lower ends connected to the base and a drive mechanism driving the lifting columns to ascend or descend, a support frame for connection with a display mounting rack that is connected to the lifting columns and ascends or descends along with the lifting columns synchronously, and a wall shroud that shrouds outside the lifting component and the support frame. The electric lifting media wall is adjustable in height, high in bearing capability, multifunctional, convenient in assembly and disassembly, easy for later maintenance, and small in package size.

A display device including a display unit, a support mounted on a floor and having a battery mounted therein, a stand extending in a vertical direction from the support, a slide bracket coupled to a rear face of the display unit and slidably coupled to the stand, and a station detachably coupled to the support to charge the battery is able to be used, so that a degree of usability is high.

In the case of a mobile device (P) for moving a receiving device which is arranged on a support column (46.1, 46.2) and this support column (46.1, 46.2) is assigned a base (1), the support column (46.1, 46.2) is to be held on the base (1) by a clamping device (K).

A cart for medical equipment includes a column supporting a platform for mounting a piece of medical equipment to the cart. A base including one or more wheels that support the column, and a handgrip at least partially encircling the platform. The handgrip includes an upper surface substantially devoid of openings and an opposite lower surface including one or more elongated accessory slots opening downwardly toward the one or more wheels. The one or more elongated accessory slots are configured to receive a portion of an accessory mount such that the accessory mount is slidingly adjustable along a length of the one or more accessory slots.
