PATIENT SUPPORT WITH IMPROVED CONTROL

A patient support includes a frame, a patient support surface supported at the frame, a display incorporated into the frame, and a user interface incorporated into the frame. The patient support frame includes a controller incorporated into the frame, which has a plurality of prompts stored therein. The user interface is in communication with the controller and may be used to select a selected prompt from the plurality of prompts stored in the controller. When a prompt is selected, the controller generates a display image or text associated with the selected prompt at the display in response to a passage of time or an input to provide a visual prompt to the user.

Vehicle load indicator

A system for a vehicle comprises a load sensor configured to sense a load on the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a load indicator where the load indicator is disposed proximate the vehicle such that the load indicator generates an output in response to the load sensed by the load sensor.

Systems and methods for electronic scale auto-zeroing
12460962 · 2025-11-04 · ·

Systems and methods for electronic scale auto-zeroing. One example system includes a load cell coupled to a platform of the scale and an electronic processor coupled to the load cell. The processor is configured to receive an activation command activating the scale and, responsive to receiving the command, initiate a powerup zeroing function. The processor is configured to receive, from the load cell, a first signal indicative of a force applied to the platform and, responsive to receiving the first signal, determine whether the force applied to the platform of the scale exceeds a threshold. The processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the force exceeds the threshold: cancel the powerup zeroing function, and calculate a weight based on the first signal. The processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the force does not exceed the threshold, complete the powerup zeroing function.
