    Abstract: A patient support apparatus for use in treating patients with behavioral health indicia, the patient support apparatus comprising an intermediate frame and a patient support deck having a deck section arranged for movement relative to the intermediate frame between a plurality of deck section positions to define a plurality of predetermined patient support configurations. A limiter interposed between the intermediate frame and the deck section and including a track and a brace movable along the track in response to movement of the deck section, wherein engagement between the brace and the track simultaneously permits movement of the deck section between the plurality of deck section positions and retains the deck section relative to the intermediate frame to prevent unauthorized movement of the deck section away from the plurality of predetermined patient support configurations.

    Abstract: A radiolucent pressure-sensing mattress for a surgical table includes radiolucent pressure sensors, and a radiolucent electromagnetic interference shielding layer. The radiolucent pressure sensors measure the amount of force exerted by a patient's body at certain locations of the radiolucent pressure-sensing mattress. The radiolucent electromagnetic interference shielding layer envelopes the radiolucent pressure sensors. The shielding layer shields the sensors from electromagnetic interference from other sources in an operating room. In certain embodiments, the shielding layer is made from woven carbon fiber.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (80) and to a method for navigating and/or guiding the path of a vehicle (200), in particular of a wheelchair, and to a vehicle, in order to achieve increased safety and comfort during operation of the vehicle. The device (80) comprises at least one first sensor, in particular an inertial navigation unit (11), which is designed and arranged so as to detect at least one first body part, in particular an absolute position and/or position and/or rotation and/or translation, of a passenger of the vehicle (200) and to output first sensor signals (S1), and a second sensor, in particular an image-based sensor (21, 22), which is designed and arranged so as to detect at least the first body part of the passenger and/or its features and to output second sensor signals (S2). A control unit (100) receives the sensor signals (S1, S2), ascertains first control signals (ST1) based on the first sensor signals (S1), and it is ascertained, based on the second sensor signals (S2), whether the first control signals (ST1) comply with at least first reliability criteria. A safety mode is adopted when the first reliability criteria are not complied with.
