Abstract: A device for the rapid attachment of biomedical devices, comprising: at least one base element associable with a supporting plane and defining a guiding seat extending along a sliding direction, the guiding seat being intended to receive by shifting an anchoring element associable with one or more biomedical devices; removable attachment device/component (or the like) of the base element to the supporting plane; removable locking device/component (or the like) of the anchoring element associated with the base element, the locking device/component locking the anchoring element with respect to the base element along the sliding direction upon reaching a predefined anchoring position.

Abstract: A cooker hotplate control system, to heat to and maintain a foodstuff at a preset temperature the system comprising an electric hotplate; a power input to provide electricity to heat the hot plate and a controller to govern said power input; a temperature sensor to determine the temperature of the hotplate; an infrared sensor spatially separated from and to detect infrared radiation emitted by a foodstuff or a vessel containing a foodstuff on the hotplate; a first processor to determine the temperature of a foodstuff or a vessel from the detected infrared radiation and a first data storage means to store said data; a second processor, the second processor calculating the first and second time derivatives of the temperature data; a first fuzzy logic controller receiving as input the first and second time-derivative data from the second processor and producing an output to the controller, said output governing the amount of power supplied to the hotplate, the first fuzzy logic controller being active to bring a
