Abstract: The invention relates to a form of a passive or active annunciator that solves the problem of reminding a caregiver to reposition a patient at risk for aspiration usually located in an adjustable bed to some predetermined angular position. The annunciator may take the form of an inclinometer (100) that measures the angle of the bed (160) relative to a local gravity reference or a goniometer that measures the angle between the horizontal (140) and elevated portions (130) of the bed. The invention reminds the caregiver of the patient at risk for aspiration to maintain or reestablish the elevation of the torso of the patient at risk for aspiration to at least 30 degrees up to 45 degrees above the local horizontal to prevent or reduce the incidence of aspiration.

Abstract: A walk-substituting cart is equipped with a detecting device, which can detect the existence and measure the inclination of a downward slope that the walk-substituting cart is moving on; when the cart is moving down a slope, the detecting device will send a signal to a power source of the walk-substituting cart so that the power source can automatically slow down; therefore, the rider won't have to continue operating the brake lever or the brake pedal of the walk-substituting cart a long time when the cart is moving down a slope.
