Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

We think DS has it. He had a runny nose and then last night cried at bedtime. He woke up again at 2:30 with that seal-type cough, but he went back to bed until 5:30 at which time he woke up coughing and crying and had what we think is stridor, where he inhaled deeply and loudly to get air. Reading up online I don't think there's any cause to go to urgent care. We gave him advil, vicks on the feet, and plan to get the humidifier going alone with propping the crib. Anything else we should know or try? This is my first experience with this. I am so bummed because I he will miss out on all the Halloween fesitivites we had planned this weekend. Oh well, just hope he's feeling better soon. I read the 2nd and 3rd nights can be the worst.
Comments (7)
I spoke with the advice nuse and I'm taking him in this afternoon. He's been breathing fine since this morning, just a little raspy. He's napping right now and I have the monitor close by in case his breathinng/coughing acts up. Scary stuff.

My LO just recently got over Bronchiolitis...I thought it might be croup at one point too. He was on an Albuterol inhaler for 10 days. Hope he gets better quickly! I hate it when they're sick!

Doc gave the all clear. Said nothing to be concerned about unless he spiked a high fever. He thinks the breathing problems were just because of congestion. I plan to steam up the bathroom before his bath and give him a good dose of advil before bed. Hopefully that and running the cool mist humidifier will mean he sleeps better tonight!
I live in No Cal starfish. It's hot here today! But, I'm sure it will be cool tonight. Good tip about the freezer though @ Hockey.

My lo has had croup 3 times in the last 6 months. It's lovely. The second time was the worst, he woke up gasping for air and we had to rush to the ER and have a steroid injection and a breathing treatment. All 3 times it's been the worst the first night (it showed up randomly with no other symptoms in the middle of the night). The second night he'd start to sound a little off before bed so I'd give him the oral steroid, but after that he wouldn't need it again. If you can hear him wheezing then you need to take him in, they'll give you an oral steroid. The humidifier definitely works. If there is no wheezing then they usually just tell you to run a humidifier or a hot steamy shower and sit there for 15 minutes. If it's cool outside you can also sit outside or go for a drive with the windows down. The other thing is that if the wheezing is coming from his nose and not his chest then it's not the same and you won't need a steroid.

NSW Govt directly regulates taxi mobile apps
news The NSW Government has formally embraced and started regulating the taxi smartphone apps which have been taking Sydney and other locations by storm, setting regulations to support the apps against the wishes of incumbent players in the taxi industry and capping surcharges at five per cent to stop overcharging.
Over the past year, apps such as GoCatch, Uber and Ingogo have become popular in Sydney, with some taxi drivers sporting multiple mobile phones attached to their dashboard in order to receive jobs via the new systems. Customers have embraced the apps because they provide greater certainty about the arrival of taxis when they need them, as well as better communication with drivers.
In a statement today, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell and Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian announced a package of reforms which the pair said would make taxis safer, save customers money and improve reliability. "Taxis are a key part of our public transport network and we are keen to ensure they provide value for money and are as accessible, reliable and safe as possible," O'Farrell said. Continue…

Some blokes find joy in carefully curating the pieces of furniture that makes...
The owners of this Singapore home have no qualms about sharing a flicker of their private life with the world outside their glass walls. The few that they have, at least.
Dubbed the "Golden Box" for the signature golden mesh that wraps around the facade of the house, architects K2LD explained that the intended effect was to blur the visual boundaries between the public and private areas of the house.
The house is structured such that the main living area is a glass box that houses the main living and dining areas. Above that is the second floor, shrouded by the golden mesh that's screened in varying porosity depending on the function of the room that it hides. In the day, the mesh acts as a light veil over the private glassed areas of the 2nd storey. During the night, the screen dissolves and unveils the events within when the interior is lit.
To retain the flexibility and maximisation of space, the living, dining and family areas were all combined into one and conventional corridors were forgone for widened passageways that could be turned into alternative spaces. The team also created partition walls between rooms which can be adjusted according to the owner's whims and fancies.
Check out the media gallery for more photos of this beautiful home.

Major Snow Leopard bug causing massive data loss
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: PC / Laptop, Software
All you Snow Leopard users, take heed: if you have the Guest account enabled, you'll wanna remove it until Apple fixes the latest bug that's been found, if you don't want to lose your data. In a nutshell, what's happening is that if you attempt to log into the Guest account, and the system hangs, it could lead to mass deletion of all user files on the primary account. That means everything. So you reboot to clear out the frozen system, log in to the main account, and files have vanished. Yeah, that's pretty bad, and worse, Apple has yet to acknowledge it and issue any sort of statement to users on how to avoid this until they release a patch.
To be safe, we recommend simply disabling the Guest account on all your Macs that happen to be running Snow Leopard until a fix is released. Seriously, better safe than sorry.

Palm webOS 1.2 now available
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Hey, all you Palm Pre owners out there, it's update time, as webOS 1.2 has just been released. What's new in the software? Quite a bit, according to Palm:
For starters, we've beefed up Palm Synergy to include LinkedIn contact syncing. Info from LinkedIn profiles (like job titles) will now appear in your Palm Pre contacts. The new update also facilitates links across more different flavors of IM contacts. Business-oriented webOS 1.2 customers will also appreciate support for heterogeneous EAS policies (for workplaces with a mix of end-users in which some accounts support EAS policies and others don't).
And we heard your feedback on a number of topics loud and clear:
- We know you love email—and you'll really love the ability to filter the emails in the current folder just by typing a search term.
- You asked for the ability to download files in the browser—and now you've got it.
- Music fans will be glad to hear that the Amazon MP3 Store can now download songs from either WiFi or WAN.
- You can now tap a phone number in a calendar note to dial it (so you can get to the joy of music-on-hold for your conference calls even faster!).
- Pause a podcast and, by default, you'll pick up where you left off when you unpause.
- Web pages and emails are now cut-and-paste-able.
You can download the webOS 1.2.0 update right now. Let us know how it goes!
MMS feature released for iPhone 3G and 3GS
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds
Hey, don't look now, but all of you who didn't opt to enable iPhone MMS yourselves, the time has come for you to let iTunes do it for you. A carrier update file is now available that, once installed, will enable MMS officially for AT&T iPhone users throughout the US. All you need to do is connect your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to your computer, and tell iTunes to check for an update. Install the file, and let the pictures of kittens start flying.
Oh, and yes, if you are an iPhone OG owner, you are left out in the cold on this one.
Zune 4.0 software now live - go get it!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Music, Software
It is now September 15th, and that means that you are now able to go and grab the Zune 4.0 update. Go ahead and do it, if you love music. The Zune.net site is still undergoing maintenance, but if you have the old version of the Zune player, just launch it and have it check for updates, and you're golden.
Zune 4.0: The Complete Feature List Rundown
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Software
The wait for the big Zune refresh that a lot of us have been clamoring for is finally over. Today, the Zune HD launches, available from the Microsoft online store, Amazon, Best Buy, and others. Alongside that launch comes a much-improved Zune software and services package. That's right, Zune 4.0 is here, and there's lots to cover. Let's dive in and take a look at all the major new features in Zune 4.0, as well as some of the smaller pieces of fit and finish that make this release shine, including the Zune Marketplace, Zune PC software, Zune on Xbox Live, and Zune.net.
From everything we've seen as it pertains to the Zune 4.0 software, this update is all about making music more enjoyable to listen to, easier to discover, and easier to manage. In addition, you get movies in the Zune Marketplace now (both rental and purchase,) Xbox Live integration, and a bunch of other features that make Zune 4.0 one of the best pieces of media management software that we've used to date.
One of the first things you'll notice about Zune 4.0 is the Quickplay screen. Similar to the Quickplay area on the new Zune HD, the Zune desktop software gets similar treatment. Here you'll be able to pin specific content to the area, get a look at new content you've recently added to your library, pull up recently played content, and also get direct access to your Smart DJ mixes. Smart DJ, you say? Yes, read on.

Microsoft Zune services offline in preparation for Zune HD and software launch
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Microsoft, Portable Audio / Video, Software
While not as exciting when the Apple Store online goes down, you should still be aware that Microsoft has taken all Zune services down in preparation for the launch of the Zune 4.0 software, and the release of the Zune HD tomorrow. We are guessing things will be functional again around midnight tonight. In fact, you may wanna stop by Gear Live around that time as well. Just sayin'.

iPhone OS 3.1.1 now available
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Review (with video!)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Software, Videos
Mac owners, the time for upgrading is upon as, as Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is now available on a worldwide basis. If you didn't know that there was a new operating system from Apple today, we wouldn't blame you, because it's kind of been released without much fanfare. You see, Snow Leopard is all about fine tuning, refining, and improving upon OS X 10.5 Leopard. It's a makeover that, at first glance, seems underwhelming because the majority of the changes occur "under the hood" so to speak.
So, what can you expect? Well, if you've used an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 3GS, think of it in those terms. They are really pretty much the same product, but the 3GS is much snappier, and has a couple of new features that the 3G doesn't have, namely a better camera and a compass. Comparing Snow Leopard to Leopard is similar - you get speed, things feel faster, and potential is unlocked for the future, because there are some cool things that third-parties can tap into now.
Not everything is under the hood, though. You will see a few UI tweaks, like Dock Expose, right-click dock menus, Finder icons, and the like. We will cover all of those in more detail, but again, that isn't the focus here. If you are underwhelmed right now, read on, because there is a lot to be excited about. At the very least, though, understand that upgrading to Snow Leopard will cost you just $29. Now that we have your attention, let's move on. We've got videos for you, after the break.

Bisexual MP Simon Hughes elected Lib Dem deputy leader
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Re: "He denied being gay for years but came out as bisexual in 2006 after being outed by a newspaper during his campaign to win the party leadership"……which basically means he's gay but is more comfortable with the term "bisexual". If any of the Pink News readers see this as some form of equality victory and a sign that the Lib Dems are the party of choice, well I dunno what to say other than stay away from the polling stations next time round.
Oh good he was the only choice that would be viable. @Pete The Meat he might actually bisexual. i myself am bisexual. Yes, he hid it and quite frankly that was his buisness, if he was ashamed then clearly he has now reconciled that with himself. good luck for the future Mr Hughes, do the party proud although Cable is a tough act to follow.
The Lib-Dems have shown they are just small 'c' conservatives in the past few weeks. Cambridge university conservative association even have proof Nick Clegg joined the party while at uni!
They sold out their liberal heritage out for the illusion of power and will pay for it come the next election. All the Lib-Dem voters I know feel sold out and betrayed, they wont vote for the party again until Clegg and Cable have gone.
Yay for the "straight choice"? Forgive me for not celebrating
horrible little man
Bisexual? I wonder who the lucky woman was.
It's Tim Farron, not Tim Fallon
Sparky, the 'straight choice' thing was not about his sexuality, and people only use that against him because he was against an openly gay candidate.
I think he was the right guy for the job, although I do wish Cable had not stepped down.

Market New Highs & Bulls at New Lows
- Posted by JC Parets
- on April 11th, 2013
How can you not love sentiment?
I figured bullish sentiment would be off the charts once US Markets hit all-time highs. Boy was I wrong. The S&P500 finally broke through those historic levels, but the bulls are no where to be found, at least according to the recent AAII Survey. The Americian Association of Individual Investors polls the retail public weekly as to whether they are bullish, bearish or neutral over the next six months. So with new highs in the market, the recent polls are showing half as many bulls.
Here is the chart via Bespoke:

As Earth Day approaches, the White House is once again pushing action on climate change, presenting a rather stark contrast between action and inaction on carbon emissions. On Monday, the following graphic appeared in a White House tweet, presenting an almost night-and-day difference between the status quo and adopting the president's policies:
The way in which the White House chose to present the alternatives, however, seems to be designed to exaggerate the difference between the two.
Although both the graphic and tweet display a link to the Climate Change page on the White House website, the map showing worldwide temperature variances does not appear there, although the same graphic has appeared several times in the past on the White House Twitter account.
The EPA, however, does present similar maps on its website. The following graphic shows low emissions, medium-high emissions, and high emissions scenarios during three time periods: 2011-2030; 2046-2065; and 2080-2099:
The White House apparently chose to present only the longest range projection, the one extending to the end of the 21st century. But by using a different color scheme than the EPA and by leaving out any actual reference to the period of time being portrayed, the White House overdramatizes the comparison. Rather than a more gradual transition from greens and yellows to oranges and reds, the White House scale abruptly changes at the seven-degree mark from a dull gold to a rather dark orange that is almost indistinguishable from the next color, a dark red that represents the nine to eleven degree range. The result is striking. Here again is the White House map:
And here is a composite map representing the world split in half like the White House map, except using the EPA maps for low emissions versus high emissions:
The difference is still apparent, yet far different from the extraordinary contrast implied by the White House graphic.
The White House did not respond to a request for the source of the map using for its graphic.
The Obama administration's recently announced Clean Air Act power-plant rules, advertised as helping to control the greenhouse gases that cause climate change, have almost nothing to recommend them. Complex, clunky, and burdensome, they're likely to spike energy bills while doing almost nothing to control pollution or stop global warming.
Read more...
Today, The New York Times weighs in on the challenges the Obama administration EPA faceso — especially with regard to enforcing carbon regulations. It contains this rather revealing bit about the EPA's mindset:
No other cabinet officer is in as lonely or uncomfortable a position as Ms. Jackson, who has been left, as one adviser put it, behind enemy lines with only science, the law and a small band of loyal lieutenants to support her.

Press release from CNW Group
Canadians get a sneak peek of ABC Spark with nested blocks of hit series Switched at Birth and Melissa & Joey on YTV, W Network and CMT starting January 16
Thursday, December 01, 2011
Canadians get a sneak peek of ABC Spark with nested blocks of hit series Switched at Birth and Melissa & Joey on YTV, W Network and CMT starting January 1614:43 EST Thursday, December 01, 2011TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2011 /CNW/ - In the New Year, Canadian viewers will have the opportunity to preview programming from Corus Entertainment's newest service, ABC Spark. Starting Monday, January 16, YTV, W Network and CMT (Canada) will air nested blocks of the channel's exclusive programming to promote the debut of ABC Spark, which will launch in late March. Built on the foundation of the successful U.S. brand ABC Family, ABC Spark is a multiplatform offering featuring original series and movies, as well as general entertainment programming. The 24-hour channel will have the same values, look, tone, essence and feel of ABC Family in the U.S."ABC Family has built their success as a top-rated cable service in the U.S. with seven consecutive years of growth, based on a brand that offers audiences quality shows and movies that reflect optimism, heart and humour. It is compelling and relatable programming that speaks to the millennial generation and beyond," said Susan Schaefer, Vice President, Head of Networks and Marketing, Corus Entertainment. "As we build towards the March launch of ABC Spark, we are thrilled to be able to give audiences a taste of some of the brand's most popular series, never before seen in Canada."Beginning Monday, January 16 on YTV, Canadians will be able to tune in to ABC Family's big summer hit, Switched at Birth. A one-hour scripted drama, Switched at Birth tells the story of two teenage girls who discover they were accidentally switched as newborns in the hospital. Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano, Gilmore Girls) grew up in a wealthy family with two parents (D.W. Moffett, Friday Night Lights and Lea Thompson, Caroline in the City) and a brother (Lucas Grabeel, High School Musical), while Daphne Vasquez (newcomer Katie Leclerc), who lost her hearing at an early age due to a case of meningitis, grew up with a single mother (Constance Marie, George Lopez) in a working-class neighborhood. Things come to a dramatic head when both families meet and struggle to learn how to live together for the sake of the girls. Switched at Birth launched in the U.S. as ABC Family's No. 1 series debut of all time in key demos this past summer, and ranked as the top rated new series across all basic cable in those demos as well.Switched at Birth will air every Monday night at 9 p.m. on YTV. W Network will also air the series every Saturday at 12 p.m. starting January 21.Beginning Monday, January 16 on CMT, viewers will be able to catch Melissa & Joey, a half-hour comedy starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. Mel is the grown-up former wild child of a political family who is now a local politician herself. When her sister ends up in prison and her brother-in-law flees after a scandal hits, Mel must take responsibility for her teenaged niece and pre-adolescent nephew. With Mel spread too thin to manage by herself, help comes in the unlikely form of Joe, who, desperate for a job, moves in and becomes the family's "manny".Melissa & Joey will air Monday to Friday at 8:30 p.m. starting January 16 on CMT.ABC Spark will be available in Canada based on a license agreement with Disney/ABC Television Group.ABC Family is a top performing destination for millennials in the U.S. Part of the Disney/ABC Television Group, ABC Family is distributed in over 98 million U.S. homes.

Pretty good 'toon. But the people who didn't have health insurance before, and don't have it now, MAY have it tomorrow, unlike yesterday when they couldn't have. Just saying…
I believe he's pointing out that even after people do sign up for Obama(non)care, they still rent any better off.
This is despite the fact that this boondoggle will cost over 2.6 Trillion in just the first few years.
Your reply contains a contradiction. If (as I suspect) the ACA does not actually provide affordable care to those who don't already have it (and it does not affect the 90% who do already have affordable care), how can it possibly cost the government $2.6 trillion?
The shutdown cut off ALL government funding for the ACA. Parks were closed, cancer research stopped, but the ACA computer systems
workedran just fine without any government funding.
Someone said they cost the government hundreds of millions, but then admitted that was inferred without any hard data, since the costs and funding sources for the ACA are obscure and hard to find.
Your research is fundamentally absent.
The shutdown can only affect discretionary spending, which is 20% of the government spending at most, and the ACA is not discretionary spending. You could present much stronger arguments if you had some facts instead of random assertions. But your opinion might not survive, so, carry on.
More like:
Before Obamacare: You can get health care but you'll go bankrupt paying for it.
After Obamacare: You'll go bankrupt paying for the insurance to pay for your health care then if you use it you'll go bankrupt a second time!
So let's eliminate insurance entirely and make health care a public service. Other industrialized countries have done it and get better results while spending a lot less money.
But here in America, we measure "successful" as "whatever puts the most cash in a CEO's pocket".
"The shutdown can only affect discretionary spending, which is 20% of the government spending…."
I don't know about the 20% number, but I had a friend that was required to work through this and wasn't going to get his next paycheck. How may others were under that gun? I don't know.
"Other industrialized countries have done it and get better results while spending a lot less money."
They also regulate much to all of the medical enterprise.
I'd ask where that number comes from, but only your proctologist knows for sure.
Here is a list of tax rates by country, for those of us who prefer to live in the real world.
If you eat groceries or use electricity it is also your pocket. the harm done to the rich effects available money, which is why they deliberately hide the damage done by controlling the bank interest and lending rates through the Federal Reserve. But still, the economic damage is real, and the cost of doing business is greater, and so is the cost of doing business for the consumer. I never knew how rich I was until they started really putting the screws to the rich. Of course, I can't complain because I so wildly applauded the harm I was about to suffer, firm in my belief that only the rich would be harmed. You can't scam an honest man, they say.
Just to compare apples with apples: a Medicare Advantage plan is a subcontractor for Medicare….that is, a private insurance plan. And your Medicare Part D plan is also private insurance, mandated by the government, with a penalty if you don't enroll…..sound familiar?
So, the increases you are seeing are coming from private insurers. If you have heartburn, make sure you are crediting the proper source.
Actually, before and after Obamacare 30 million won't have health insurance. But keep lying.
"This can be done, and has been done."
Well, yes, by Bezos, but not by Bozos.
No, chuckles, that's where we're headed under the current system of fragmented private insurance. Under a true universal system costs can be controlled, as has been proven in every country that's tried it.

The application claims the priority of provisional application No. 60/723,047, filed on Oct. 3, 2005, titled: Mobile Medication Storage and Retrieval Mechanism.
This invention relates generally to mobile medication-dispensing apparatus, such as used at a patient's bedside in a hospital or similar facility and more specifically concerns such an apparatus which permits access to a single, pre-selected medication compartment from a plurality of possible compartments for each dispensing operation.
Mobile medication storage and dispensing apparatus, used by a nurse or other medical practitioner at a patient's bedside in a hospital or similar facility, are generally known. Such apparatus, often referred to as a mobile medication cart, delivers patient-specific medications at the patient's bedside, where they are administered by the nurse. These carts have been popular with hospitals and long-term care facilities for storing patient medications in individual patient compartments within the cart.
In addition, stationary medication cabinets are also known, which are typically used in hospitals for secure storage of narcotics and other drug-specific medications, typically widely used medications, in the nursing unit, outside of the pharmacy.
It is desirable to have a medication cart which is mobile, efficient, easily accessible and convenient to use, in addition to conveniently limiting access to a single unit of use present in one pre-selected compartment per dispensing operation in order to prevent errors as well as theft. A compartment can also be used to hold a single narcotic item, multiple doses of the same item, for instance, aspirin or several patient-specific medications that will be used over a given time period, such as four hours.
The problems with mobile medication carts available in the market today include a failure to limit access to one drawer or compartment per dispensing operation and a failure to satisfy narcotic storage regulation. Further, they do not have the required capacity for all of the patient's medication needs, while remaining mobile. Still further, many such known carts are not electronically controlled by medication safety software while in use at the patient's bedside.
Stationary cabinets also have problems, in addition to lack of mobility, in that many such devices do not have medication safety software, and require proprietary access software, which is often slow and problematic to retrieve narcotics and other medications.
There remains a basic need for a mobile cart, which is easy to use and maneuver and which has a significant medication storage and dispensing capability, while at the same time is light and compact, with a minimum footprint.
Accordingly, the present invention is a mobile medication apparatus, comprising: a mobile housing assembly; a plurality of tray members, supported in a vertical stack within the housing assembly, mounted to be rotatable individually about a central support assembly; a lockable door in the housing assembly for providing selected access to the trays therein; a locking assembly for locking and unlocking the tray members individually; a plurality of compartment members, individually openable, positionable on the individual tray members and rotatable therewith; a central drive assembly, including a motor, for engaging and rotating each tray individually; and a control system, including a stored program, for identifying a selected compartment, located on a particular tray, into and from which medications are stored and retrieved, for unlocking the particular tray containing the selected compartment, for energizing the drive assembly for the one tray to present the selected compartment to the door and for unlocking the door, thereby making the selected compartment available to a user.
A top member 18 is secured to the body portion 16. A miscellaneous supply drawer 20 is positioned beneath top member 18, housed within a 6-inch space between top member 18 and body portion 16. The body portion further includes a locking door 22 which is either hinged to open or is constructed to slide open on guides which are attached to the body portion 16. A folding work surface 24 is attached by hinges to top member 18, and in the embodiment shown is made from plastic. Positioned on top member 18 are computer peripherals, shown generally as a group at 26, which can include a standard monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, a fingerprint reader and a barcode scanner. Other peripheral equipment could be included as well.
The cart 10 is shown in more detail in
The plunger portion 44 of each solenoid tray lock 38 in its de-enlarged position fits into an opening 46 in its associated tray at the periphery thereof, thereby locking the tray in place until the tray is unlocked at 9� intervals in the embodiment shown to permit the tray to be locked in a plurality of rotational positions.
The cart includes a solenoid door lock 48 which is mounted to the top member and locks/unlocks door 22.
The vertical mounting assembly 12 (
The electronic system control assembly 60 on the cart, also referred to as the controller, includes a software program for operation of the cart. The program is routine and is therefore not described in detail. The electronic system control assembly further includes required fuses, relays, power converters, power supplies, transformers, power cords and other miscellaneous standard components necessary for computer-controlled cart operation.
The cart 10 is powered by batteries 66 that are mounted at the bottom of the cart and provide the cart with ballast as well as electrical power.
A vent 70 is positioned in the top member 18 of the cart to allow for heat to dissipate out of the cart. Heat from the drive mechanism, which is mounted at the lower center of the storage and retrieval cart, rises up the vertical mounting assembly into the electronics compartment housing the system control assembly and dissipates through vent 70.
Each container member 76 is removable from the tray, and guide rails 90 on the bottom edge of the container help the user to position the container on the tray. The containers 76 are maintained in place on the tray with an interference fit. Each container has a lid 94 which can be lifted/removed by the user for access to the medications in the container. An interference fit between the lid and the body of the container keeps the lid in a normal closed condition.
In one embodiment, a barcode 96 can be used on the container to uniquely identify each container. Further, plastic dividers 98 can be used within a container to subdivide a container into a plurality of smaller regions.
The containers of
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the cart, beginning with loading the cart with patient-specific medications.
In the pharmacy at the beginning of the process, a pharmacy technician selects a patient by means of a handheld computer. The technician then scans an available container's bar code to associate that particular container with the patient. A list of all the patient's medications required for the dosing interval are displayed to the technician. The technician gathers each required medication, scans the bar code to the verify the correct medication and dose and then places the medication into the patient's container. This step is repeated for each required medication.
In the next step, the pharmacy technical delivers the preloaded containers to the cart located at the nursing ward. The technical selects the patient container swap function. The controller on the cart then will request a fingerprint authorization/authentication from the technician. The technician uses the fingerprint reader on top of the cart for authentication. The technician then scans the container's barcode. The computer locks up the room/bed designation the location of the patient's previous dosing container (if any).
The controller then energizes the particular tray drive solenoid associated with the correct tray having the container, thereby connecting the central solenoid tower assembly to the correct tray. The controller then energizes the tray lock solenoid to unlock the correct tray. The controller then energizes the motor to rotate the central solenoid tower and hence the correct tray so as to position the patient's previous container at door 22. The controller then de-energizes the solenoid tray lock 38, which results in locking the correct tray in place. The controller then energizes the door lock 48 to unlock the door 22.
The technician then removes the previous container which is to be swapped, after opening the access door of the cart. The technician then inserts the new container into the tray. The technician then closes the access door.
The controller then is used to de-energize the access door lock in order to lock the access door. The controller then energizes the tray lock solenoid associated with the tray to unlock the tray. The controller next energizes the tray drive solenoid associated with the tray and then energizes the tray drive motor to rotate the center assembly and the tray to its home position. The tray lock solenoid is then de-energized to lock the tray in place.
The above sequence of functions is then repeated for each patient having medications which are to be present in the cart.
A similar process is used to store commonly used medications and narcotics in either the standard containers or the larger containers. These particular storage locations are static, i.e. they are never removed from the tray. Typically, stock medications and narcotics are assigned a maximum quality and reorder quantity. When the actual quantity of the common concerning replacement is automatically sent to the pharmacy. Relative to the sequence described above, at the point when the access door is unlocked, the bar code on the medication is scanned and the medication is then placed in the container. This step is repeated until the maximum quantity is reached. The entire sequence is then repeated for each medication.
The following sequence of operation concerns the dispensing operation for medications for a particular patient at the patient's bedside. In typical operation, a nurse of other medical professional will use the retrieval (dispensing) function of the cart at the patient's bedside to access all medications for a particular patient safely and securely.
The following sequence of operation concerns the dispensing operation for medications for a particular patient at the patient's bedside. In typical operation, a nurse or other medical professional will use the retrieval (dispensing) function of the cart at the patient's bedside to access all medications for a particular patient safely and securely.
First, the nurse will identify the patient, using the cart's barcode scanner to scan the patient's wristband. The cart controller then requests fingerprint authorization. The nurse will then use the fingerprint reader on the cart for authorization. The cart's computer display screen will then display the patient's pharmacy treatment orders for review by the nurse. The nurse will then select the pharmacy treatment order to administer to the patient. The cart controller then determines which container (and the correct tray) in the cart has the requested medications to fulfill the treatment order.
The tray drive solenoid is energized to engage the correct tray and the tray lock solenoid associated with the correct tray is then energized to unlock the tray, freeing the tray for rotational movement. The solenoid tower assembly motor then rotates the correct tray via the engaged tray drive solenoid to position the selected container (either standard or large) having the desired medication behind the access door.
The controller then de-energizes the tray lock solenoid, to lock the tray in place. The door lock solenoid is then energized to unlock the access door. The nurse will then remove the medication from the presented container and scan the medication barcode to verify the medication and the correct dose. This step is repeated until the nurse has obtained maximum dose quantity.
The nurse then closes the access door 22 and the controller de-energizes the access door solenoid to lock the access door 22. The controller then energizes the correct tray lock solenoid to unlock the tray, energizes the tray drive solenoid for the tray, and then energizes the drive motor to rotate the tray to return it to its home position. The controller then de-energizes the tray lock solenoid to lock the tray in its home position. The nurse next documents the medication-administration event in the cart computer. The above steps, starting at the identification of the particular patient, are repeated for each pharmacy order.
It should be understood that the above-described structure is one embodiment of the overall apparatus. The computer peripherals 10 can also include laptop computers, tablet personal computers, personal digital assistance device or any other common computer equipment. Additional compartments can be mounted to the cart in open spaces of the apparatus. The lid for the standard container can also be configured to open from the side. Although the embodiment refers to solenoid-type control devices, other control devices could be used.
Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed here for the purposes of illustration, it should be understood that various changes, modifications and substitutions may be incorporated in the embodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention, which is defined by the claims which follow.
