Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed for stabilizing a cart. An example cart is a surgical cart having a robotic arm thereon. A stabilizer system may be part of or used with the cart to stabilize the cart at a location. The stabilizer system may include a stabilizer and an actuator. The stabilizer may have a foot and a biaser configured to bias the foot to a retracted position and contribute to an amount of force applied to a floor supporting the cart when the foot is in a deployed position. The actuator acts on the stabilizer to overcome a bias force biasing the stabilizer to the retracted position and cause feet of the stabilizer to contact the floor. Once the feet of the stabilizer contact the floor, a spring of the biaser causes the foot to apply a predetermined force amount to the floor.

Cart stabilization devices, systems, and methods

A method and apparatus are disclosed for isolating and attenuating shock and vibration in a disk module that includes media drives that are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). The apparatus includes a single printed circuit board (PCB), media drives that are coupled to the PCB, a first reinforcing rail that is attached to the PCB and to a first side of a first one of the media drives, a second reinforcing rail that is attached to the PCB and to a first side of a second one of the media drives, and a locking mechanism for locking the first and second rails together.
