A thumbrest for a handgun is provided, the thumbrest having at least a thumb support and a support base. The support base may be configured for mounting to the handgun. The thumb support may be pivotably movable with respect to the support base or a lateral side of a handgun frame, pivoting between a collapsed position, wherein the thumb support may be folded up adjacent to, or in contact with, the support base or the lateral side of the handgun frame, and an extended position, wherein the thumb support may be pivoted away from the support base or the lateral side of the handgun frame. In other embodiments, a spring may be configured to bias the thumb support toward the extended position, and a stop structure may be configured to limit pivotal movement of the thumb support, such that liming pivotal movement of the thumb support defines the extended position.

Thumbrest for handgun

A method of controlling a power system includes receiving a signal indicative of user interaction with a handle of a removable battery, and switching a power interface of the power system from a first power sourcing mode receiving power from the removable battery to a second power sourcing mode receiving power from a back-up battery. An electronic control unit for the power system includes a memory storing computer executable instructions for controlling power sourcing in the power control system, a detector interface configured to receive a signal indicative of user interaction with a removable battery of the mobile workstation and a microprocessor configured by way of executing the computer executable instructions to switch a power interface of the power control system from a first power sourcing mode to a second power sourcing mode.

Power control system for mobile workstation and method

A method of retrofitting a power system to a mobile work station includes coupling a replacement power system with the mobile work station in place of an existing power system, establishing a power link between a power interface and a docking station for a removable battery, and establishing a communication link between a power control system and a detector configured to detect user interaction with a removable battery docked with the docking station.

Power system retrofit kit for mobile workstation and retrofit method

A system for use in gathering and/or processing data in healthcare facilities includes a fleet of mobile workstations, a set of interchangeable batteries for the fleet of mobile workstations and a battery recharging system for the set of interchangeable batteries. The battery recharging system includes a common battery charger and a control device configured to reduce variation in charging cycle count among the batteries at least in part by outputting a battery selection signal in response to comparing charging cycle counts for each of the batteries.

System for use in gathering or processing data in a healthcare facility having fleet of mobile workstations

A mobile workstation includes a control system having computer readable memory storing a power sourcing algorithm and a data processing algorithm, a power interface having a first input interface and a second input interface, and an output interface configured to supply power from either of the input interfaces to a plurality of computerized devices resident on the mobile workstation. A microprocessor is configured to execute the power sourcing algorithm to switch the power interface from a first power sourcing mode to a second power sourcing mode and further configured to execute the data processing algorithm to control a peripheral device of the mobile workstation in response to inputs received via a data interface. The control system is part of a power system resident on the mobile workstation and operable independently of a plurality of computerized devices also resident on the mobile workstation.

A power supply unit for a mobile computerized device includes a housing having a handle, a battery positioned within the housing, and a detector configured to detect user interaction with the handle. The power supply unit may comprise a removable power supply unit for a mobile computerized device, having a detector generating a signal in response to detecting user interaction with the handle.

Power supply unit for mobile workstation and method

A power system for a mobile workstation includes a docking station for a removable battery, a power bus, and a power interface having an output interface electrically connected with the power bus. The power system further includes a detector configured to detect user interaction with a removable battery docked with the docking station, and a switching device coupled with the detector and configured to switch the power interface from a first power sourcing mode to a second power sourcing mode receiving power from a back-up battery, in response to detecting user interaction with a removable battery docked with the docking station.

Power system for mobile workstation and method

A mobile workstation includes a frame having a wheeled base, a power system resident on the mobile workstation and a battery docking station having a holster which defines a guide. The mobile workstation further includes a removable battery assembly configured to dock with the battery docking station via engagement in the guide, and having a housing with a shape complementary to a shape of the guide and an external contour configured to mate with an internal contour of the guide.

Vertically adjustable mobile computer workstation

A vertically adjustable mobile computer workstation includes a first arm which has an upper end and a lower end. Attached to the upper end of the first arm is at least one platform. A second arm includes an upper end and a lower end. The lower end of the first arm and the upper end of the second arm are hingedly attached. The lower end of the second arm is attached to a base that is supported by a plurality of rotatable members. The first arm is rotatable between a first angular position in which the at least one platform is positioned above the rotatable members and a second angular position in which the at least one platform is positioned higher above the rotatable members.

Adjustable computer workstation

A portable computer workstation for ergonomic use in crowded work settings such as hospitals, factories, laboratories and automobile service facilities, is described. The workstation includes a rectangularly shaped box cabinet with a keyboard drawer slidably mounted to it. A window assembly is mounted to the top of the cabinet. The window assembly enables an external user to view a computer monitor that is mounted within the cabinet under the window. The window protects the computer monitor from chemical spills and other potentially damaging contaminants. The cabinet is also preferably mounted on four lockable casters so that the same can be moved easily from one location to another. When the keyboard drawer is concealed within the cabinet, the workstation preferably takes up only a small amount of floor space and presents a substantially smooth catch-free and easily cleanable exterior surface.

A computer workstation for use in a hospital setting is described. The workstation includes a box shaped cabinet with a keyboard drawer slidably mounted to it. A window assembly is mounted to the top of the cabinet. The window assembly enables the user to view the monitor of the workstation which is mounted within the cabinet to its own base for sturdiness and damage prevention. The cabinet also includes four wheels mounted at each corner of its base. Optionally, the cabinet can include additional drawers for other computer parts and other supplies. The window assembly is substantially leak-proof to prevent chemicals and other hazardous materials from entering the interior of the cabinet and damaging the electronic equipment found within the cabinet. The fasteners that are used to mount the monitor and other parts to the cabinet are concealed inside the cabinet to provide a smooth and easy cleaning surface.
