Restricted operating modes are provided for a motor vehicle when driven by a secondary driver (such as a less experienced driver). A seat occupancy sensor detects the presence of at least one rear seat passenger. A controller includes a memory storing rules defining a restricted operating mode containing a plurality of limitations to be applied to operation of various vehicle accessories in conjunction with the secondary driver. The controller selectively controls the operation of at least one of the accessories according to one of the rules in response to simultaneously detecting the secondary driver and the presence of at least one rear seat passenger. Use of the rules may also depend on whether the rear seat passenger has an unbuckled seat belt.

An orthogonal electromagnetic seal for an oven that heats items through the use of microwave energy is set forth. The oven has a cavity in which the items are to be placed, an opening to the cavity, and peripheral surfaces that surround the opening to the cavity. One of the peripheral surfaces is orthogonal to the other peripheral surfaces. The electromagnetic seal includes a choke panel, a plurality of tabs, and a choke ring. The choke panel is aligned with and has generally the same shape as the opening. The plurality of tabs extend from a periphery of the choke panel. A first set of the plurality of tabs is generally parallel to the orthogonal peripheral surface. The remaining tabs are parallel with the other peripheral surfaces. Each of the plurality of tabs is positioned between the associated peripheral surface and the choke ring. A choke cavity adjacent to each peripheral surface is defined by the choke ring, the choke panel, and the adjacent peripheral surface. The choke cavity reflects energy propagating in a direction parallel to the adjacent one of the peripheral surface and suppressing energy propagating in a direction transverse to the adjacent one of the peripheral surfaces.

A helmet carrying and hanger assembly is provided includingan elongated rod having a pair of ends. A plurality of helmet coupling mechanisms are provided for mounting the helmets to the elongated rod. A handle is coupled to the rod for carrying purposes. Finally, a mounting assembly is included for mounting the elongated rod to a fence.

A fluid treatment apparatus including a first fluid flow manifold having at least one fluid head positioned on a first side of a surface of a substrate to be treated by a fluid. The first fluid flow manifold includes at least two sets of a plurality of fluid jet injectors formed therein and apparatus for directing a fluid into the fluid jet injectors. Each of the fluid jet injectors creates a fluid jet impinging upon the surface of the substrate. Apparatus is interconnected with the first fluid flow manifold for supplying fluid to the fluid injector jets. Apparatus connected between the supply apparatus and the first fluid flow manifold alternates a flow of the fluid through the sets of fluid jet injectors. A fluid source is connected to the fluid supplying apparatus.

An apparatus for supporting cables, lines, and/or hoses that connect a moored boat to shore-based services includes a flexible rod and at least one guide. The flexible mod is mountable to a shore anchor, and the at least one guide is attached to the flexible rod. The at least one guide retains the at least one cable so that the at least one cable extends substantially parallel to the flexible rod.

A method for maintaining homeostasis for a patient in a health care setting includes the steps of monitoring a physiological parameter and comparing the parameter against an expected parameter range. When it is determined that a difference between the monitored physiological parameter and the expected parameter range presents a patient condition requiring a corrective measure, an alarm warning is presented. The alarm warning has a signature characteristic distinguishing it from other alarm warnings. The alarm warning may be musical and distinguishable based on genre, tempo, loudness, or pitch or, alternatively may be visual. The alarm warning may be adapted to distinguish one patient from other patients. Alternatively, the alarm warning may distinguish differing levels of severity associated with a patient condition of a particular patient or to distinguish between multiple conditions suffered by the same patient.

A system for unilateral lung ventilation includes an endotracheal tube and a blocking device for blocking the bronchus of a non-ventilated lung to prevent a ventilation medium from entering the lung. The blocking device includes an inflatable member supported by a catheter having an inflation lumen for inflating the inflatable member. The catheter includes at least one lung treatment lumen for delivering a therapeutic agent to the non-ventilated lung. An inner channel within the main channel and a side branch provide a guideway for the blocking device within the tube. A valve may be included to close the side branch when the blocking device is removed from the inner channel for parallel flow of ventilating gas in the main and inner channels. A method of using the system provides for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) matching by respectively delivering cooled air and nitric oxide to the non-ventilated and ventilated lungs.
摘要:
A fluid treatment device and method for treating moving substrates with fluid as the substrates move through the device at a relatively high rate of travel. Fluid injection in combination with the application of vibration energy (e.g., ultrasonic) results in enhanced fluid treatment of the substrates. In one embodiment, a bifurcated horn is utilized in combination with fluid injector members having pluralities of rows of spaced injector ports, the injectors being strategically positioned relative to the vibrational source. In one example, the device and method may be used for enhanced penetration by dye materials of ceramic substrate surfaces to detect adverse surface conditions (e.g., cracks) and thus potentially defective product.
摘要:
A new apparatus for treating substrates with fluids, as well as a corresponding fluid treatment method, is disclosed. The new apparatus includes a new configuration of fluid jet injectors which substantially overcomes the problem of dragout, in which fluid impinged upon an area of a substrate is retained on that area, preventing fresh fluid from reaching the impinged area. This new configuration also avoids imposing torques on substrates, and substantially reduces the need for rollers and guides for transporting substrates.

A magnetic anchor system which fixes the bottom of fluid level measuring devices to the bottom of fluid storage tanks. The magnetic anchor system is attached to the bottom of a fluid level measuring device. The magnetic anchor system comprises a magnet to sit on the bottom of the tank and a telescoping housing to allow some play to provide for seating at different points on a slant- or cone-bottom of the tank. In addition, a system to calibrate fluid level measuring devices that make use of a float which eliminates the need to raise or lower the fluid level in the tank to provide calibration.
