A user control device for a transporter. The user control device can communicate with the transporter via electrical interface(s) that can facilitate communication and data processing among the user interface device and controllers that can control the movement of the transporter. The user control device can perform automated actions based on the environment in which the transporter operates and the user's desired movement of the transporter. External applications can enable monitoring and control of the transporter.

A mobility device (1) comprising: a main frame (3), drive wheel swing arms (5) pivotally connected to the main frame (3), drive wheels (7) connected to a respective one of the drive wheel swing arms (5), wheel motors, each wheel motor being configured to drive a respective drive wheel (7), a rear wheel swing arm (9) pivotally connected to the main frame (3), a rear wheel (11) connected to the rear wheel swing arm (9), and an actuating device configured to control a rear wheel swing arm angle between the rear wheel swing arm (9) and the main frame (3) independently of control of the wheel motors.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a stationary member mounted relative to the frame, a movable member having a pivot member rotatably mounting the movable member about the stationary member, and a fastener securing the pivot member to the stationary member. The patient support apparatus also includes a joint between the pivot member and the stationary member, which is configured to apply a tension force on the fastener.

A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, recliner, operating table, stretcher, or the like, includes a control panel with multiple controls for controlling functions of the patient support apparatus. A control system disables at least a first control and changes an illumination state of a backlight when the patient support apparatus is in a particular state. In some embodiments, the particular state is the arming of an exit detection system and/or the deactivation of a brake on the patient support apparatus. The particular state may also or alternatively be tied to a particular mode of the patient support apparatus, such as a diagnostic mode, a maintenance mode, and/or a normal mode. The control system may also never illuminate a first icon on the patient support apparatus if it was initially configured in a particular manner, such as being intended for sale in a particular geographic market.

A reclining chair includes a frame and a back part with a back support slidably connected to a back frame hinged on a frame rotation point on the frame. A seat part, including a seat frame and a seat, is pivotably connected to the back frame at a chair joint. A reclining mechanism includes an arm pivot point fixed to the frame. A first arm extends from the arm pivot point to a second arm at an arm suspension point. The second arm is pivotably connected to the chair joint. When the back part reclines from an upright position, the back frame rotates, the first arm rotates, the chair joint moves towards the seat part, and a connecting arm extending from the back support and mechanically linked to the first arm and the second arm pulls the back support so the back support slides towards the seat part.

Inter-alia, a method is disclosed comprising: obtaining one or more first fallback objects indicative of a geographic area that is covered by one or more cells of a communication network; obtaining one or more pieces of cell information indicative of a number of positioning requests that a respective cell of the one or more cells has received; determining one or more second fallback objects out of the one or more fallback objects; determining for an area of the respective second fallback object in that the needed level of accuracy for determining a position is not achievable, one or more cells based at least partially on the one or more pieces of cell information; and outputting the determined one or more second fallback objects and/or the determined one or more cells for usage in a generation of a radio map. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, computer program and system.

A personal mobility vehicle, such as a stroller, has spaced apart side frame assemblies that each include a backrest portion and a seat frame portion. The backrest portion is moveable to several recline positions relative to the seat frame portion by actuating a latching mechanism. The backrest portion and the base frame are both moveable to a folded position relative to the seat frame by actuating the same latching mechanism. The side frame assembly further has a tilt mechanism that permits the backrest and seat frames to move as a unit relative to the base frame.

A reclining wheelchair apparatus for providing a convenient way for wheelchair users to rest or be cared for includes a chair base frame and a plurality of wheels coupled to the chair base frame. A seat bottom is coupled to a base top side and a pair of pivot brackets is pivotably coupled to a base top side adjacent the base back side. A chair back is coupled to the pair of pivot brackets and moves between an upright position and a reclined position. The pair of pivot brackets rests on a pair of bracket supports when the chair back is in the reclined position. A pair of locking pins is coupled to the pair of pivot brackets and selectively engages with the base top side to secure the chair back in the upright position.

An adjustment mechanism configured for adjusting a backrest of a chair, including a clamp element configured to be fixedly attached to a static frame, which extends along a longitudinal axis; a guided frame selectively moveably coupled to the clamp element and configured to be fixedly attached to the backrest, and wherein displacement of the guided frame relative to the clamp element is configured to urge corresponding displacement of the backrest either axially along a first axis extending generally transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis or angularly with respect to the longitudinal axis.
