A stand-on debris blower comprising including a main frame, a pair of front wheels, and a pair of rear wheels. The stand-on debris blower also includes an operator standing platform coupled to the main frame, a control pedestal positioned forward of and above the operator standing platform, and a power source, wherein the power source has a vertically-oriented shaft. A blower assembly is also provided, wherein the blower assembly includes a horizontally-oriented impeller configured to rotate about a vertical axis, the horizontally-oriented impeller being coupled to the vertically-oriented shaft of the power source. Additionally, the blower assembly may include a V-shaped deflector assembly configurable to block air flow to at least a first, a second, or both a first and second discharge chute in the blower assembly.

Powered patient support apparatuses—such as beds, cots, stretchers, or the like—include a plurality of user controls that allow a caregiver to control the steering and/or driving of one or more powered wheels from multiple different locations around the patient support apparatus (e.g. head end, foot end, and/or the sides). The control is carried out by force sensors that detect both an orientation of the applied forces and a magnitude of the applied forces. Translational and/or rotational movement is effectuated, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the forces, as well as the physical location of the applied force relative to a reference point on the support apparatus, such as the center. One or more object sensors may also be included in the support apparatus to assist in steering and/or navigating.

A working machine may include a first ground-contact part, a driving part configured to drive the first ground-contact part, a clutch mechanism configured to be switched between a transmission state and a non-transmission state, a clutch operation part configured to switch a state of the clutch mechanism, a braking mechanism configured to be switched between a braking state and a non-braking state, and a braking operation part configured to switch a state of the braking mechanism. In a case where the state of the braking mechanism is the braking state, the clutch mechanism may be switched from the transmission state to the non-transmission state by operating the clutch operation part, and in a case where the state of the braking mechanism is the non-braking state, the clutch mechanism may not be switched from the transmission state to the non-transmission state even by operating the clutch operation part.

A battery-operated vehicle (BOV), comprising a battery configured to provide the source power of the BOV, and at least one processor included in a processing and memory circuitry (PMC) operatively connected to the battery, where the at least one processor being configured to a) obtain data indicative of first and second locations; b) determine data indicative of a battery power consumption that is required to navigate the BOV from the first location to the second location; c) obtain data indicative of a current power level of the battery; d) compare the data indicative of the required battery power consumption to the data indicative of the current power level of the battery for determining remaining battery power status for navigating the BOV from the first location to the second location, and e) provide an indication based on the determination.

An electronic cart with an electronic cart body including one or more internal compartments. The cart includes one or more wheels and/or a track assembly supporting the electronic cart body. One or more batteries are carried by the electronic cart body. The cart has a drive system to drive the one or more wheels and/or the track assembly, which is powered, at least in part, by the one or more batteries. One or more hand-operated cart controls are provided on the cart to adjust at least a speed with which the drive system drives the one or more wheels and/or the track assembly.
