Disclosed is a multi-functional probe capable of shielding electromagnetic waves in which an ultrasonic driver circuit and an ultrasonic oscillation element are surrounded by a shielding member in a state in which the ultrasonic driver circuit and the ultrasonic oscillation element are disposed close to each other and which allows a material of a head, to which ultrasonic waves are transmitted, to be changed to a non-conductive material and prevent moisture from being introduced into the probe. To this end, the multi-functional probe includes a cover part accommodating the ultrasonic driver circuit and the ultrasonic oscillation element, a fixing part fixing the ultrasonic driver circuit and the ultrasonic oscillation element in the cover part, and a shield part configured to block electromagnetic waves generated by the ultrasonic driver circuit and the ultrasonic oscillation element.

A system controller such as a microprocessor receives voltage signals produced from a resistor identifying the functional or nonfunctional operating state of a power switch which controls the amount of power provided to a load in an electrical system. The resistor is also used to provide voltage signals representing the temperature of a heating element of the type used in heating pads and heating blankets. The functional or nonfunctional operating state of a safety switch in a safety circuit capable of blowing a fuse and cutting power to the load is periodically tested to ensure the safety of the electrical system.
