  • Patent number: 6761683
    Abstract: An infant support for an incubator or an infant warmer or a combination thereof is disclosed. The support comprises a frame, a mattress tray disposed above the tray, an x-ray tray and one or more weight cells having an actuator supporting the mattress tray above the frame. The x-ray tray is received in a space below the top surface of the mattress tray. The support is configured to be received on a tilt mechanism of the incubator or an infant warmer or a combination thereof to provide an inclination to the mattress tray. The support is configured to permit x-rays to be taken of an infant supported above the mattress tray and to provide an indication of the weight of the infant supported on the mattress tray regardless of its inclination.

  • Patent number: 4263813
    Abstract: A rotameter-type flowmeter having a rotatable follower magnet which is magnetically coupled to a float magnet which in turn is responsive to the flow rate of the fluid which is to be measured. A calibration magnet is provided which is selectively movable in an arcuate track relative to the rotary axis of the follower magnet so as to alter the magnetic coupling between the follower magnet and the float magnet in such manner as to linearize (i.e., normalize) the output of the flowmeter. In addition, the calibration magnet is movable longitudinally with respect to the follower magnet so as to adjust the scale span of the flowmeter.
