Abstract:
A patient-support apparatus includes a patient-support deck movable from a use position to a stowed position. The patient-support deck is configured to engage receivers of the patient-support apparatus to support the deck in a cantilevered configuration. The patient-support deck may be secured to the patient-support apparatus by a locking mechanism. A storage structure is configured to support the patient-support deck in a stowed position. The storage structure is configured to deflect under load to prevent damage to the storage structure or patient-support deck.

International Classification:
F02D 3100
US Classification:
123357
Abstract:
A system for controlling fuel flow in an internal combustion engine receives a command specifying a desired fuel flow rate from an electronic control module. The system generates a feedforward estimate of actuator current required to produce the desired flow rate. This estimate is combined with a fueling current offset value generated using a proportional-integral feedback controller. A differential pressure between the fuel rail and cylinder gas is converted, by surface interpolation based on a lookup table, to an estimate of actual fuel flow rate. The difference between this actual fuel flow rate and the desired flow rate is provided to the feedback controller as an error signal. The feedback controller preferably uses different gain values depending on an operating mode of the engine (speed control and torque control modes).

International Classification:
F01N 3/20 F01N 11/00
Abstract:
An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system, a reductant injector operatively coupled to the SCR system, and a reductant insertion assembly operatively coupled to the reductant injector. The reductant insertion assembly comprises a pump configured to pump the reductant through the reductant injector. A controller is operatively coupled to the reductant insertion assembly and configured to receive predetermined calibration values of the pump corresponding to delivery of a reductant by the pump through a calibration injector. The controller determines a desired flow rate value of the reductant into the SCR system. The controller determines an insertion time of the reductant injector for delivering the reductant through the reductant injector based on the desired flow rate value, a pump operating parameter value of the pump and the predetermined calibration values, and activates the reductant injector for the insertion time.
