  • Publication number: 20240099920
    Abstract: A method for controlling a device for automatically adjusting an airway opening body position is provided. The device includes a horizontal base plate, a head support block, a back support plate, a neck support apparatus, a head cover assembly, and a programmable logic controller (PLC). The neck support apparatus is positioned between the head support block and the back support plate. The PLC is configured to controls a stroke of an electric cylinder according to the following equations: ?=1.235?+?, and ?=KX+B+C, where ? is a body position angle, the body position angle is an angle between a positive projection line of a connecting line from a mandibular angle to an external acoustic meatus on a symmetrical surface of a human body and the back support plate, and ? is a preset value ranging from 90° to 100°.

  • Patent number: 8393613
    Abstract: A media level indicator and a printer having some are disclosed. The printer has the media level indicator, a housing and a media container slidably contained in the housing. The media level indicator includes a media detecting assembly and a level indicating assembly, wherein the media detecting assembly includes a shaft for rotatably engaged with the housing, a detecting arm fixed to the shaft and abutting the top of the paper stack, and a driving arm. The driving arm is articulated with a lever of the level indicating assembly. When the paper amount changes, the detecting arm is moved and drives the media detecting assembly to rotate, which provides motion in an indicating end of the level indicating assembly, which extends outwardly from the media container. Therefore, a change in the paper amount is indicated.

  • Patent number: 7715067
    Abstract: A scanner includes a housing, a transparent platen disposed on the housing for positioning a document, and a calibration pattern formed on a side of the transparent platen. The calibration pattern includes an arc having a first point and a second point. The scanner further includes an optical engine installed inside the housing for scanning the document and the calibration pattern with movement in a first direction, and a control module installed inside the housing for controlling the optical engine to move to a scan start position according to the first point and the second point of the calibration pattern scanned by the optical engine and a radius of curvature of the arc.
