IPC: E01H5/00
Filed: 2006-07-24
Abstract: A self-propelled work machine, in which the load of the work unit increases according to an increase in the travel speed. The self-propelled work machine includes electric motors for driving the travel units, an engine for driving the work unit, a work drive instruction unit for instructing the work unit to turn on, and a control unit for controlling the electric motors. The control unit reduces the actual speed of the electric motors by using PID control so that the actual rotational speed of the engine returns to a reference rotational speed when the actual rotational speed of the engine falls below the reference rotational speed in the state in which the work unit is turned on by the work drive instruction unit. The reference rotational speed is a reference value used when the work unit is driven by the engine.

Abstract: An infant warmer (8) for supporting an infant upon an infant platform (22). A radiant heater (36) is located above the infant platform (22) to direct infrared energy toward an infant positioned upon the infant platform (22). There is a pre-heat cycle that is carried out by a controller (37) of the radiant heater (36) that may be activated, manually or automatically, at the start-up of the infant warmer (8). The pre-warm cycle then warms the infant platform (22) as well as other surfaces in close proximity thereto in order to heat those components prior to the infant being placed on the infant platform (22). The pre-warm cycle continues until those components are sufficient heated whereupon a signal, audible, visual or both, alerts the user that the pre-heat cycle has been completed and the infant warmer (8) is ready to receive the infant. By warming those components, the possibility of hypothermia of the infant is reduced.

Title: Systems and methods of utilizing electrical readings in the determination of treatment
Inventor: SHELTON BRUCE H
IPC: A61B5/04
Filed: 2004-09-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for obtaining an electrical signal from a patient that corresponds to a meridian for determining treatment options from at least two electrical readings. The present method contemplates locating a dermal area of a patient proximate a meridian. One embodiment of the present invention comprises locating a dermal area by iteratively measuring and comparing the conductivity of a patient's skin until a significant level of conductance is indicated. A probe may then be placed in contact with the dermal area, and actuated to obtain an electrical signal therefrom. The probe tip may be specially designed to apply an appropriate amount of pressure to the dermal area to directly sense a meridian, and configured to avoid erroneous measurements resulting from misalignment of the probe or probe tip. The system analyzes the electrical readings using a correlation algorithm to determine the diagnosis which can easily be correlated with appropriate treatments. The correlation algorithm may include the analysis of multiple electrical readings in determining the diagnosis. The system may also utilize a database of clinical data to further assist in determining the diagnosis.
