7 Aug 2001TL;DR: A cable management and data acquisition method and apparatus to store system data and data from activity sensors when the sensors are disconnected from a monitoring system is described in this paper, which can be readily retrieved when the patient arrives to the new location so as to maintain a record of identification data and permit the tracking of trends.
Abstract: A cable management and data acquisition method and apparatus to store system data and data from activity sensors when the sensors are disconnected from a monitoring system. The apparatus includes a housing, a first connection port operable to receive information from one or more activity sensors, a device interface coupled to the first connection port, a non-volatile memory coupled to the device interface; and an output port coupled to the device interface. The cable management and data acquisition apparatus may also include a digital-to-analog converter to convert analog signals from sensors to digital signals. Preferably, the device interface is an application specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) that communicates with a signal processor in the monitoring processor. The signal processor responds to commands or messages from the monitoring processor and reads data from and writes data to the memory in the cable management and data acquisition apparatus through the ASIC. The cable management and data acquisition apparatus prevents the loss of patient data when a patient monitoring system is disconnected from the activity sensors attached to a patient, such as might occur when a patient is moved from one location to another. Data stored in the memory of the apparatus can be readily retrieved when the patient arrives to the new location so as to maintain a record of identification data and permit the tracking of trends.

22 Aug 2001TL;DR: An optical fiber cable management panel is provided with slideable drawers and structure within the drawers for cable management and/or connection to other devices as discussed by the authors, which includes a U-shaped trough section and cable retention tabs.
Abstract: An optical fiber cable management panel is provided with slideable drawers and structure within the drawers for cable management and/or connection to other devices. Tray inserts drop into the drawers to provide the appropriate management and connection devices. A movable take-up mechanism manages the cable entering and exiting the drawers at side openings. Stackable pivoting storage trays on the tray insert include a detent arrangement for holding each tray in a pivoted access position. The tray inserts further include a front key, and a back tab mounting arrangement for mounting the tray inserts to the drawers, and side radius limiters including notches for extending over raised portions of the drawer. The take-up mechanism includes a U-shaped trough section and cable retention tabs. A control mechanism is provided for controlling movement of the take-up mechanism relative to the drawer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a module for terminating and connecting optical fiber telecommunications cables including connection locations located on a bulkhead pivotably mounted to an open front of a housing.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a module for terminating and connecting optical fiber telecommunications cables including connection locations located on a bulkhead pivotably mounted to an open front of a housing. The bulkhead also includes a cable management structure which moves with the bulkhead as the bulkhead pivots. The module may be mounted to a telecommunications equipment rack directly mounting locations on vertical supports of the rack. Alternatively, the module may be mounted to a telecommunications equipment rack in concert with a cable slack storage structure which also fits between the vertical supports of the rack and which provides a mounting location for mounting the module. A plurality of modules may be mounted to the telecommunications equipment rack and cable guides mounted to the side of each module cooperate to define a vertical cable channel for directing telecommunications cables to a and from each of the modules mounted to the rack. A method of loading cables into a connection module including extending the cable into the interior of the module and through a cable route to a pivotably mounted bulkhead to which is mounted a cable management structure and from the cable management structure to a connection location on the bulkhead.

TL;DR: In this paper, a telecommunications termination panel with a tray pivotable mounted within the front opening of a housing is described, which includes a plurality of connection locations and cable management structures to direct a telecommunications cable from the cable access port to a rear of the connection locations without violating bend radius rules.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a tray pivotably mounted within the front opening of a housing. The tray pivots about a hinge located adjacent one of the sides of the housing and includes a raised floor. The raised floor of the tray cooperates with the side adjacent the hinge and a bottom of the housing to define a cable path from a rear cable access port to an opening on the tray adjacent the hinge. The tray includes a plurality of connection locations and cable management structures to direct a telecommunications cable from the cable access port to a rear of the connection locations without violating bend radius rules. The tray may also include a temporary cable holder to assist in pulling cables through the rear opening into the housing. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications equipment rack with a termination panel with such a pivoting tray mounted to the rack.
