Abstract:
AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION AND USE OF AN IMMERSION BATH comprising:an immersion bath provided with a plurality of sensors that sense temperature, water volume and odoriferous essence; a central processing unit connected to an analog-to-digital converting circuit that receives signals from the plurality of sensors and to which a control panel is peripherally connected, said central processing unit being connected to an input of a power control circuit that selectively controls the opening and closing of a set of valves of hydraulic systems for the passage of hot water, cold water, sinking and draining and of odoriferous essence into and out of said immersion bath until a predetermined set of temperature, water volume and odoriferous essence parameters is achieved; data receiving and transmitting means consisting of one of a telephone interface, serial electric interface and radio frequency interface and connected to said central processing unit for remote control of said central processing unit and for remote notification of the achievement of said predetermined set of parameters to a user in a remote location in preparation of use of said immersion bath; and a voice synthesizing circuit that interconnects the central processing unit with the data receiving and transmitting means for voice-based remote notification of the achievement of said predetermined set of parameters to a user in a remote location; said central processing unit further provided with a plurality of memories for storing and recalling said predetermined set of parameters between uses of said immersion bath and for automatically maintaining and regulating said predetermined set of parameters during use of said immersion bath.
