An imaging apparatus includes a patient table with a gurney and a base. The gurney can slide between two extreme positions, an electrically supplied motoreducer controlled by a control unit causing the table to slide and having a lock/unlock system of the sliding that is mechanical, independent from the electrical supply, and manually controlled by a grabbing organ actuated by a human operator. The patient table may be provided together with a gantry having a housing transparent to light for at least part of its extension, and a control unit of the radiographic apparatus. The housing or a part thereof is associated with a source of light, and the control unit, when the apparatus is electrically supplied, and/or other status conditions are determined by a status sensor, causes the light source to be illuminated and the housing to light up in its translucent parts signalling the status condition.

A moisture control system includes a moisture control coverlet (10) and a fluid pump (18). The moisture control coverlet (10) includes a fluid pathway therein for moisture removal fluid. The fluid pump (18) is coupled to the fluid pathway for pumping fluid out of the fluid pathway by negative pressure at a fluid pump rate. The fluid pump rate can be adjustable and/or can be greater than 1 CFM.

An electric mobility vehicle including a front-wheel-side body, a rear-wheel-side body, a seat on which a passenger sits in an in-use state, and a linking mechanism that links the front-wheel-side body with the rear-wheel-side body so as to be pivotable about a pivoting axis extending in a vehicle width direction. The electric mobility vehicle is foldable by pivoting the front-wheel-side body and the rear-wheel-side body relative to each other in a vehicle front-to-rear direction. The electric mobility vehicle includes a footrest provided in the front-wheel-side body, a front-end roller or a front-end caster provided in the front-wheel-side body and disposed at a vehicle front side relative to a front end of the front wheel in the in-use state, and comes into contact with the floor surface in the folded state to make the electric mobility vehicle stand alone.

A ceiling lift tilt management system includes first and second motor units, which are attachable to a rail system of a medical care facility. Each motor unit includes a flexible strap, which can be coiled or uncoiled within the motor unit to raise or lower a spreader bar attached thereto. Coiling or uncoiling of the straps can cause raising or lowering of a sling attached to the spreader bars. The system also allows for tilting of the spreader bars by coiling or uncoiling a leading motor unit strap. The system includes a control system that measures the relative lengths of the two straps in order to ensure that relative tilt between the spreader bars does not exceed a threshold. Once a threshold tilt for height difference is reached, further user requests for additional tilting are prohibited. Patient comfort and safety are therefore ensured.

Disclosed herein is a mobile isolation ward including: a main body configured such that a door is installed in a front thereof, a fixed lighting window is installed in a right side thereof, and a light is installed at the center of a ceiling thereof; a ceiling air conditioner installed in the right side of the ceiling of the main body, and configured to control the temperature and the humidity inside the main body; an air purifier provided on one side of the inside of the main body, and configured to purify contaminated air inside the main body via a filter; and a blower configured to selectively introduce and discharge air. The junctions of the lighting window and the main body are finished with silicone. The main body is made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic material. The door and the lighting window are made of a transparent acrylic material.

Mobility device for physically disabled people 1, comprising a chassis 10 with at least one motor for maneuvering the entire mobility device 1; a pivot arm 20, which at its lower end 22 is pivotably connected to the chassis 10; and a pelvis support 40, which is connected to an upper end 23 of the pivot arm 20; wherein a physically disabled person 2 can sit with the pelvis support 40 attached to its body, can move around with the mobility device 1 in a standing position on the chassis 10, and can change on its own from sitting to standing position, wherein all elements of the mobility device 1 except the elements directly contacting the body of the person 2 extending above pelvis height h of the sitting person 2 can be lowered or moved to or below this height h. The present invention further comprises a method for erecting of a sitting physically disabled person 2 and for fixing of the person 2 in standing position onto a motor-driven mobility device 1.

A system comprises a drive system comprising a single motor, a transmission configured to transmit power from the single motor to a first ball screw via a first clutch, and a second clutch configured to transmit power from the first ball screw to a second ball screw. The system also comprises a brake configured to apply a braking force to at least a portion of the drive system. The system further comprises a control module configured to control operation of one or more of the single motor, the first clutch, the second clutch, and the brake, where the control module is configured to move a scissors arms in a horizontal direction in a first configuration and adjust a vertical height of the scissors arms in a second configuration.

A patient transport apparatus operable by a user for transporting a patient along stairs. A seat section is coupled to a support structure supporting a track assembly having a belt. A motor selectively generates torque to drive the belt. A user interface is arranged for engagement by the user, and has a direction input control for selecting a drive direction of the motor, and an activation input control for operating the motor to drive the belt. A controller in communication with the motor and the user interface is configured to limit operation of the motor in response to user engagement of the activation input control preceding engagement of the direction input control to prevent driving the belt, and to permit operation of the motor in response to user engagement of the activation input control following engagement of the direction input control to drive the belt in a selected drive direction.

Devices, systems, and methods for supporting the body of user are described. Devices, systems, and methods can employ a plurality of cells where each of the cells within the plurality of cells can comprise a bladder containing air or another compressible fluid supported by a base that forms a fluid-tight seal with the bladder The base and bladder can be constructed and arranged so that the bladder forms a rolling diaphragm portion with the base. The height and/or applied pressure in response to an applied load of such bladder may be adjustable substantially independent of the crosssectional shape and dimensions of the bladder. Each of the cells within the plurality of cells which may be a subset or all of the cells of a given support, can also comprise, or otherwise be operatively associated with its own: pressure sensor, height sensor, or both, and/or controllable inlet/outlet valve(s).

The subject disclosure relates to techniques for application-based controls of a wheelchair-accessible autonomous vehicle. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving a request for a wheelchair-accessible autonomous vehicle (WAV) to execute an ingress function, wherein the ingress function includes a deployment of a wheelchair ramp by the WAV, sending an ingress command to the WAV in response to the request, wherein the ingress command comprises instructions cause the WAV to execute the ingress function at a specified pick-up location, and receiving feedback from the WAV, the feedback includes sensor data associated with a wheelchair ramp and status information associated with the ingress function. Machine-readable media and systems are also provided.
