OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to assess clinicians' views and experiences of providing immediate neonatal care at birth beside the mother, and of using a mobile trolley designed to facilitate this bedside care. DESIGN Qualitative interview study with semistructured interviews. RESULTS The results were analysed using thematic analysis. SETTING A large UK maternity unit. PARTICIP...

This paper proposes an adaptive control method for an underactuated overhead crane system. To improve the transferring efficiency and enhance the security of the crane system, the trolley is required to reach the desired position as fast as possible, while the swing of payload needs to be within an acceptable domain. To achieve these objectives, a novel twostep design strategy consisting of a t...

The automatic suspension device (REHABOT) suspends the patient's body in a standing position allowing the patient to walk around the circular handrail without forward propulsion. Reduction of body weight is accurately maintained automatically while safely supporting the patient. The device was used for 23 patients with orthopaedic disorders or central nervous system disorders who were chosen be...

A new fuzzy controller for anti-swing and positioning control of an overhead traveling crane is proposed based on the SIRMs (Single Input Rule Modules) dynamically connected fuzzy inference model. The trolley position and velocity, the rope swing angle and angular velocity are selected as input items, and the trolley acceleration as output item. With a simple structure, the controller can auton...

The demand for efficient distribution of oxygen cylinders at Abepura Regional General Hospital (RSUD Abepura) has been steadily increasing due to the growing needs staff members and patients who expect high-quality service within hospital premises. In response this demand, study aims propose a transportation system that is not only automated but also time-saving, with ultimate goal enhancing me...
