Abstract: A washing appliance configured to heat water supplied to the washing appliance by utilizing heated process water drained from a compartment of the washing appliance arranged to accommodate goods to be cleaned. The washing appliance comprises a tank configured to contain the water being supplied to the compartment of the washing appliance, a valve configured to be in fluid communication with said tank to control a flow of the water contained in the tank being supplied to the compartment of the washing appliance, a fresh water conduit extending inside the tank, the fresh water conduit being configured to transport the water supplied to the washing appliance, a drain water conduit configured to transport the drained heated process water, the drain water conduit being arranged to extend inside, and coaxially with, the fresh water conduit inside the tank.

Abstract: An ambulatory suspension system for gait rehabilitation has a parallel pair of rails bordering the sides of a training area and a bridge extending between and movable along the rails. A trolley is movable along the bridge and includes a motor driven hoist with a cable extending thereabout and depending from the trolley. The hoist is operable to vary the length of the cable depending from the trolley, and a harness is suspended by the cable. Motors move the bridge along the rails and the trolley along the bridge as the sensors sense the direction of movement of the patient in X and Y directions. The falling motion of a patient supported in the harness is sensed and will immediately disable the system. A computer control receives signals from the sensors and operates the motors so that the patient is held in an upright position.
