Mr MorganExcellent tyres, been using them for some time now and as yet never had puncture and they roll very well. Just completed Newcastle to London 310 miles with no problems. Excellent service from Merlin.
Mr KirkpatrickGreat tire. Can't tell much of a difference from the Pro 3 tire, but that is not a bad thing.
Mr BramleySo far so good. Quite easy to fit. Got the 25's to see what they were like, seem to roll and corner fine, potholes don't seem quite so jarring. On my Giant TCR advanced there isn't a lot of clearance but nothing to worry about.
Mr TurnerExcellent product from Michelin, the 25mm tyres in the Pro 4 range are a real favorite.
Mr liFast delivery for overseas, product grips the road well in corners
Mr MatthewsCan`t beat them, used them or predecessors for years
TinmanThis is a great all around tire at an even better price. Rolls fast, grips well and is comfortable.
Mr GlassHuge improvement in ride quality over my Conti Gator Hardshell tires. Did not think tires could make that much difference.
Mr CruddasBrilliant tyres, 25's are just are good as the 23's. Great durability and grip.
Mr MANLANGITI've been using the Pros since Pro2's. They have not failed me. Used Pro3's and 4's for the last 4 years and never experienced a single flat. Don't let the smooth surface fool you. These tires grip wet roads.
Mr IraceGreat Tire. A big improvment over the Michelin Pro Race 3 in terms of wear and handling. Rolling resistence is good too.
Steve CI've had Michelin Pro 3's before & read good things about these. I have not been disappointed! Going from Schwalbe Ultremos to these, I noticed an improved "feel" straightaway. They roll well, feel great & seem to grip well too, but only ridden in the dry on them so far. They are a tiny bit heavier than the Schwalbe's but don't seem as prone to the loose threads that the Ultremos seem to suffer from. Recommended.
Mr PapadopoulosJust upgraded to these tyres, feel great, and a lot faster.
AlexHaving lost confidence with my tubeless tyres following a tear and deflation, I went back to my old favourites the Michelin Pro 4 Service Course Folding Tyre. Really struggled to get them on my Shimano Ultegra Front Wheel (I think this wheel has a big rim to accomodate the tubeless tyre) but managed to fit them on my Mavic Kysriums with just my fingers. Completed a 175 mile 2 day Sportive with them and they ran really fast without and issue. In addition, my bike was really easy to find amongst the hundreds of others with those "electric blue" side walls !!! I also have the Pro 4s on my winter bike and only had one snake bite last year. All in all, an excellent tyre that performs well in the wet and the dry that shouldn't let you down.
Mr newcombeBought some of these tyres for 2012 trip to Gran Canaria. They performed superbly especially down the twisty hairpin bends on the long hot descents. They had a fairly decent life span and I have replaced them with the same tyre. Needless to say Merlin were cheapest and my first stop now when it comes to components or accessories.
Mr HolmesLove these tyres, so much better than the Pro Race 3. They seem much more robust but even more sticky. They seem to wear very well and offer very reasonable puncture protection for a race standard folder.
MKMBest tires on the market in this price range. They are the only tires I ride on.
Mr 佐伯
Mr LeiperBig improvement on pro race 3 Roll well but seem to be more comfortable. 400 miles so far no cuts!!

IFAC and ICAS Highlight Financial Reporting Challenges for IASB
As the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) undertakes work that has the potential to shape the future of financial reporting across the globe, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) have collaborated to encourage engagement and debate.
The joint IFAC/ICAS paper, Do We Need a Roadmap for Financial Reporting?, seeks to align the theoretical considerations with the practical ones, and generate debate and discussion that can assist the IASB as it begins to consider revisions to the existing Conceptual Framework. The IASB issued a Discussion Paper exploring possible changes to the IASB's Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in July 2013. The comment period ended on January 14, 2014 and an exposure draft is expected to be published later this year. The IFAC/ICAS paper has been prepared to complement the individual comment letters that both IFAC and ICAS submitted to the IASB.
In the paper, IFAC and ICAS raise some fundamental questions and issues that should be considered by the IASB, including:
- Who are financial statements for?
- What is the purpose of financial statements?
- What role should the Conceptual Framework serve?
- What items should be included in assets and liabilities?
- What does 'financial performance' mean?
"These questions get right to the heart of how companies communicate with the financial markets," said Fayez Choudhury, CEO of IFAC. "The basic building blocks of financial statements have existed for decades and it is important to undertake a serious assessment of whether they remain fit for purpose."
Anton Colella, CEO of ICAS, said, "The Conceptual Framework sets the direction of travel for financial reporting globally. The IASB has stated that it will focus on 'updating, improving and filling in gaps' of the current Framework. Our overarching question is: is this sufficient or do we need a more fundamental re-think?"
The paper does not contain answers to all of these difficult questions, but aims to stimulate the debate and encourage those with a stake in financial reporting to engage and assist the IASB with its endeavour.
About ICAS
ICAS is a leading professional body for Chartered Accountants (CAs), with over 20,000 members worldwide. ICAS is an educator, regulator and thought leader.
About IFAC
IFAC is the global organization for the accountancy profession dedicated to serving the public interest by strengthening the profession and contributing to the development of strong international economies. It is comprised of 179 members and associates in 130 countries and jurisdictions, representing approximately 2.5 million accountants in public practice, education, government service, industry, and commerce.
The IFAC/ICAS paper, Do we need a roadmap for financial reporting? Developing the IASB's Conceptual Framework, is available from the ICAS website at www.icas.org.uk/icas-ifac-roadmap and from the IFAC website at www.ifac.org/publications-resources/do-we-need-roadmap-financial-reporting.
Further information on the IASB's Conceptual Framework project and the Discussion Paper: A Review of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting is available at www.ifrs.org/Current-Projects/IASB-Projects/Conceptual-Framework/Pages/Conceptual-Framework-Summary.aspx.

The "New York Times" Bestseller, acclaimed by author such as Freakonomics co-author Steven D. Levitt, Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nudge co-author Richard Thaler, "Thinking Fast and Slow" offers a whole new look at the way our minds work, and how we make decisions. Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.
Daniel Kahneman is a Senior Scholar at Princeton University, and Emeritus Professor of Public Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002.

An interesting, insightful book. It rigorously (yet in a very introductory, friendly way) exposes a number of biases in human judgment.

There are warnings.I am having thoughts that the written words of Islam are a warning to future generations of what Islam is .
The 'written words of Islam are the 'Koran', a babble of imitative plagiarism or lies written long after muhammad. There were 18 differing versions, burnt by Uthman who wrote his own compromised version. Uthman was then murdered like Muhammad as a jew lover *also* by the Bakri, and buried in shame as a Jew. In the later many rewrites of the Quran, Muhammad only got only a small 'direct voice', a tiny sura
that says nothing.
Why is this?
Because islam is deeply ashamed of Muhammad and why they murdered him. Muhammad was
murdeed on the 4th assassination attempt.
He was poisoned by Aisha with datura, because he has shamed the Bakri by acknowledging Aisha was having sex with others, and a deeper reason : because Muhammad was trying to
progress the synthetic interim babble of moon god and other idols etc to appease the pagan tribes - to evolve it to aligned jewish ishmaelism.
But that cut the Bakri out of their religious idol and location franchise of Mecca..
So when the Bakri murdered muhammad they also destroyed all the evidence of that 'treachery' by Muhammad, & systemically killed all bloodline
or involved parties and evidence.
Uthman (after abu bakr & ali) then picked open the scab when he 'wrote' his version of events
and revealed this. That's why the Bakri murdered him also. But evidence survives.
We know detail about the 3 assasination attempts and the final poisoning murder of Muhammad from recorded eyewitness accounts.
We know Muhammad warned the Bakri were of the devil (Hubal Allah) and they would further corrupt islam ("turn on your heel and walk away
etc"). We know that Muhammad knew the Bakri would murder him "when I am killed etc". We know Aisha boasted of her murder of Muhammad when she got the agents to kill Uthman (" we will kill him (Uthman) like that we did that *other old Jew lover*)-*meaning Muhammad. We know in dictation to Ali, Muhammad rescinded his false about islam & the idols of the qureesh, said he
was not a prophet or a messenger & begged forgiveness from the Jews for leading the 13th tribe of Ishmaelites astray and into false worship.
That's not taught at the mosque, but is fact recorded by islam itself.
Aisha to Uthman - on the destruction of the
words and thoughts of Muhammad "they have
been eaten by a goat, Allah (the moon god of her tribe) willed it".
Muhammad and others left many messages
warning islam was just an interim transition of
paganism to a more sophisticated ideology, ie:
Mecca (Muslims worshipped Jerusalem) & the Kaaba was not a temple of god ("can pass
thru from one door to another" - a different building with two doors back then).
That qureesh idols, objects and rituals were just
that, a bridge to evolve pagans to Judaism.
Muhammad for example said:
He would lie and so be punished with a 'split heart' by God (he died of cardiac arrest after 3 days of convulsing & white foam frenzied fits
from poisons bought in the east (datura) given to him by Aisha. All on record.
That islam was of evil (hubal / Baal worship) and Islam was so they could learn true god (YHWH or jesus lord Christ).
He was not a prophet or messenger and had led the Ishmaelites (Arab Jews) astray (Ali).
The Bakri (quaeesh) would murder him before his work was done, ie not a prophet able to complete gods work with gods protection at all!!
The Bakri would distort & corrupt islam -
muhammad's message to all was to 'turn on your heel and walk away".
Very few Muslims read the Quran. Even less
understand it. MUQ is an example of that.
But it's all in the Quran or in supporting recorded history. Timebombed so that one day every
Muslim will realise what it tells them...
If they were to follow the words of Muhammad - they would not believe in Islam.

A Message From Andrew Ainslie, Dean, Simon Business School
"At Simon Business School, we offer an education that will attract students who value our analytic bias. This is a school that moves beyond management as usual and uses the power of data to drive smart decisions. We provide the skills you need to solve complex business issues in a range of environments with a challenging, rigorous education, and with support, coaching, and personalized attention. We believe strongly in the value of economics and statistics in the analysis of all business problems, and it is reflected in our ranking as a top five school for economics and finance."
--Andrew Ainslie, Dean
Programs and Curricular Focus
Simon Business School offers full- and part-time MBA and MS programs designed to prepare students for career success. The curriculum emphasizes learning the principles of economics and effective decision-making through a mix of lecture, case study, and project courses.
The Full-Time MBA program requires 67 hours (20 courses) and can be completed in six quarters of full-time study. Nine core courses are required in the underlying disciplines of economics, accounting, finance, marketing, operations management, organization theory, and management and information systems. In addition, a two-course sequence teaches students to frame, analyze, and communicate (FACt©) solutions to unstructured business problems. A course in business communications is also required of all full-time students.
Eleven elective courses are required. Students select their electives to develop expertise in one or several concentrations. The 13 concentrations offered are:
- Accounting and Information Systems

- Business Systems Consulting
- Competitive and Organizational Strategy, including tracks in Strategy and Organization and Pricing

Simon also offers full- and part-time MS programs in specialized areas of study including Finance, Accountancy, Management, and Health Care Management, as well as a Master of Business Administration with concentrations in Marketing and Medical Management.
Simon's Full-Time MS programs generally require only one year of dedicated study, allowing students to finish their degrees and return to the workplace at a faster pace.
In addition, there are part-time MS programs aimed at working professionals in New York City. The School offers MS in Finance, MS in Management, and MS in Health Care Management programs at a convenient Manhattan location. Weekend courses and residency weeks in Rochester, NY, allow students to immerse themselves in the Simon experience while continuing to balance their careers and personal obligations.
Simon's other options for busy working professionals include an Accelerated Professional MBA (PMBA), Part-Time Flexible MBA, and Executive MBA programs in Rochester, NY.
Joint-degree programs include the MD/MBA with the University of Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Technical Entrepreneurship and Management (TEAM) program with the University's Hajim School of Engineering and Center for Entrepreneurship.
Students and the MBA Experience
Simon students enter the program with a wide range of educational, professional, and geographic backgrounds. Undergraduate majors typically include economics, humanities, social sciences, business and commerce, engineering, math, and science. Prior full-time work experience averages 4.7 years and the average age is 27.
Global Focus
The Simon experience reflects a global reality. Students are thoroughly prepared to be effective professionals in a more diverse world. Like the larger global economy, there is a unique mixture of talents, personalities, and cultural backgrounds at Simon.
Of the leading US business schools, Simon is one of the most diverse. Students from all over the world choose to join Simon Business School, year after year--bringing with them a variety of perspectives, personal, and professional backgrounds. The School's close-knit community and collaborative atmosphere allows each student to benefit from the diverse makeup of the student body. A Simon education combines rigorous business preparation with cross-cultural training and lifelong professional contact with an international alumni network.
International exchange programs are offered with schools in 11 countries, each approved by a faculty committee for compatibility with Simon Full-Time MBA program objectives. Interested Full-Time MBA students may pursue study abroad during one quarter of their second year of study. The School also offers a Global Management Option that allows Executive MBA students to experience global markets in Switzerland and China.
Special Features
During the one-week Orientation Program, students participate in self-assessment exercises, personal selling and communication skills instruction, corporate leadership training, and one-on-one career counseling. The goals of the orientation include acclimating students to campus life, assessing and building on specific skills, and introducing the valuable programs of the Career Management Center. Students also participate in several modules designed to enhance leadership skills in the areas of team building, training in diversity issues, ethical decision-making, and social responsibility.
In addition, Simon's comprehensive career management services begin on day one, with self assessments, workshops, webinars, and one-on-one advisement from a team of career experts dedicated to helping students maximize their professional opportunities.
The Faculty
Simon professors are considered to be among the finest in the world. The most-cited business article of all time, "The Theory of the Firm," is attributed to Simon faculty members.
There is a long tradition at Simon of coordinating teaching and research as well as integrating knowledge from all of the functional areas into the curriculum.

The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/170,066, filed Dec. 10, 1999, the complete disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to infant care units of the type comprising a base with an infant-support surface above the base and either or both a canopy and a warmer located over the infant-support surface.
Infant care units, such as an infant incubator that includes an isolation chamber and various systems that maintain the isolation chamber at a controlled temperature and humidity to facilitate the development of a premature infant, are known. Such incubators conventionally include an infant-support surface for supporting the infant in the isolation chamber and some type of overhead structure, such as a canopy, above the infant-support surface. In some cases, the isolation chamber is encompassed by a set of panels arranged around the infant-support surface. The canopy cooperates with these panels to enclose the isolation chamber. Conventionally, access openings through which caregivers gain access to the infant are provided in either the canopy or in the panels. Such incubators may include canopies that have access doors to provide further access to the infant.
The isolation chamber will often include air circulation systems that provide controlled movement of air within the isolation chamber. The canopy is oftentimes arranged to direct the flow of air within the isolation chamber. It is, therefore, important for the canopy to be aligned over the patient-support surface to properly direct the flow of air. In addition, it is desirable for the canopy to be aligned with the set of panels that encompass the isolation chamber to minimize air and heat losses between the panels and the canopy.
The caregiver, however, may desire to have substantially unrestricted access to the infant for a myriad of reasons, including observation and/or treatment. Though incubators of the conventional type, that include canopies with access doors, are vertically adjustable, or separate and pivot, providing access to the infant, they do not provide completely uninhibited access to the infant. The canopy itself is still positioned directly above the infant even if portions of it are moved for access. If the incubator includes a warmer in lieu of, or in addition to, the canopy over the infant, that too, will obstruct access to the infant.
It would be desirable, therefore, to provide an incubator that includes a canopy and an apparatus for moving the canopy from above of the infant-support surface, thus, allowing unrestricted access to the infant by the caregiver.
Accordingly, an infant care unit and method for accessing an infant therein by allowing unrestricted access to same are provided. The unit includes a canopy movable between a central position directed at a platform upon which an infant rests, and a position spaced therefrom. In one illustrative embodiment, a radiant heater is disposed relative to the platform to have a central position from which it is effective to warm the infant by radiation. The heater is also movable between the central position to a position spaced therefrom. Another illustrative embodiment includes a mechanism for locking either or both the heater and the canopy in their central position when they are returned from the position spaced therefrom.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit includes a combination incubator and infant warmer that comprises a radiant heater and a canopy. The incubator and infant warmer include a generally vertical support adjacent a platform. The radiant heater is mounted on the vertical support for movement about the platform. The heater has a central position directed at the platform and retracted positions away from the platform. The canopy is movable with the heater and is configured to provide a closed space directed at the platform. A mechanism is also provided for releasably locking the heater in the central position.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit is provided which includes a patient support apparatus comprising a base, a patient support platform, an overhead arm and a mounting assembly. The patient support platform is carried by the base. The overhead arm is located generally above the patient support platform. The mounting assembly couples the overhead arm to the base for pivoting movement relative thereto. The pivoting movement is in a second plane that is generally parallel to a first plane which is defined by the patient support platform.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit is provided which includes a hood at a central position directed at a platform. The hood is movable from the central position to a position spaced therefrom. The hood may be a canopy comprised of a plurality of plexiglass panels. In addition, a radiant warmer may be coupled to the canopy for warming an infant.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit is provided which includes a mounting assembly attached to a base and a canopy. The assembly also includes a pivot mechanism configured to permit movement of the canopy laterally in a plane above a patient support between a central position and a position spaced therefrom. The mounting assembly has upwardly extending telescoping members supporting the canopy in its lower use position and its upper spaced-apart position. In addition, the assembly includes a lock mechanism. The illustrative lock mechanism is configured to permit the canopy to move laterally when the canopy is extended upwardly to its upper spaced-apart position. The lock mechanism also comprises a structural member that is attached to the mounting assembly. The structural member is engagable with the pivot mechanism when the canopy is in its lower use position for preventing lateral movement of the canopy.
Another illustrative embodiment comprises a plate that is attached to the canopy. The plate is rotatable about a vertical axis relative to the base. In addition, a notch is formed in the plate. A locking finger is provided that is engagable with the notch when the canopy is in the central position. The locking finger may be configured to be urged into the notch when the canopy is in the central position. The plate may also comprise a second notch engagable with the structural member of the lock mechanism when the canopy is not spaced apart from the patient support.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit is provided which includes a patient support and canopy for isolating an infant. The canopy is engaged with the patient support forming an isolation chamber and defining a central position. A means for disengaging and moving the canopy between an upper spaced-apart apart position from the patient support and a lowered use position is provided. A means for moving the canopy between the cental position and a position spaced therefrom when the canopy is in the upper spaced-apart position is also provided.
Another illustrative embodiment of the infant care unit is provided which includes a patient support apparatus comprising a base, a patient support platform, an overhead arm and a mounting assembly. The patient support platform is carried by the base. The overhead arm is located generally above the patient support platform. The mounting assembly couples the overhead arm to the base for pivoting movement relative thereto. The mounting assembly comprises a stationary first plate and a second plate. The second plate is movable relative to the first plate in a second plane that is generally parallel to a first plane defined by the infant-support platform.
A method is provided for accessing an infant in an infant care unit. The infant care unit provides a platform upon which the infant rests and a canopy positioned above the platform forming an isolation chamber that defines a central position. The method comprises the steps of raising the canopy upwardly relative to the platform between a lower use position and an upper spaced-apart position, and moving the canopy in a plane above the platform between the central position and a position spaced therefrom.
Additional features and advantages of the infant care unit will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed descriptions exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the apparatus as presently perceived.
The illustrative apparatus will be described hereinafter with reference to the attached drawings which are given as non-limiting examples only, in which:

Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplification set out herein illustrates an embodiment of the apparatus and such exemplification is not to be construed as limiting the scope of this application in any manner.
An infant care unit or incubator 2 includes a base 4, a plurality of castors 6 supporting base 4, and an infant support 7 supported above base 4 as shown in FIG. 1. Infant support 7 includes a pedestal 8 coupled to base 4 for vertical movement, a platform tub 10 supported by pedestal 8, and a support surface (not shown) positioned in platform tub 10.
A pair of transparent side guard panels 24 and a pair of transparent end guard panels 26 extend upwardly from platform tub 10 having top edges 13 and 15 disposed generally coplanar. Side and end guard panels 24, 26 cooperate with canopy halves 22, 23 and overhead arm 18 to define an isolation chamber 12. Panels 24 include hinges 28 that are also attached to platform tub 10 allowing a caregiver to pivot panels 24 downwardly away from canopy 20 providing side access to an infant within chamber 12. End guard panels 26 also include hinges 32, which also pivot downwardly for access to the infant in chamber 12.
A pair of access ports 34 is provided on side guard panels 24. Ports 34 are normally closed by access port covers 36. Access port covers 36 can be removed to allow access to the infant in chamber 12 while isolated in unit 2.
At least one end guard panel 26 is formed to include at least one pass-through grommet 38. Wires and tubes (not shown) can be routed into chamber 12 through pass-through grommet 38.
A canopy support arm assembly 14 includes a telescoping vertical arm 16 and the horizontal overhead arm 18. Canopy 20 is coupled to overhead arm 18 and is positioned above platform tub 10. It is contemplated that overhead arm 18 includes a warmer 55 directing heat to either the infant or the canopy. (See FIG. 1.) Canopy halves 22, 23 are coupled to overhead arm 18 for pivoting movement between raised and lowered positions. Each canopy half 22, 23 comprises side faces 40, 42, and adjacent end faces 44, 46, respectively. Edges 48, 50, 52 of faces 40, 42, 46, respectively, are disposed generally coplanar and positioned adjacent each other. It is contemplated that the edges between the canopy and the sides are configured to produce a fit for preventing a substantial amount of warm air from escaping.
As shown in FIG. 1, canopy 20 is rotatable in the horizontal plane about axis 68, as indicated by reference numerals 54, 70. Canopy 20, thus, no longer obstructs access to isolation chamber 12 when moved to a spaced-apart position shown by hatched lines 45. Canopy 20 is also shown in FIG. 1 in its central or home position indicated by reference numeral 47. Home position 47 is defined as the location where canopy 20 covers isolation chamber 12 such that edges 48, 50, 52 of halves 22, 23 mate with edges 13, 15 of side and end panels 24, 26. It is contemplated that a stop mechanism can be added to prevent canopy 20 from rotating 180 degrees from home position 47. This prevents the possibility of cable running between overhead arm 18 and vertical arm 16 from being twisted and damaged.
Other features of patient-support apparatus 20 are discussed in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,022,310, titled "Canopy Adjustment Mechanisms for Thermal Support Apparatus, " which is incorporated herein by reference.
In the illustrated embodiment, canopy support arm assembly 14 includes a telescoping vertical member 16 and horizontal overhead arm 18. As shown in FIG. 2, member 16 comprises outer and inner telescoping members 60, 62. The range of motion available to member 16 in directions 61, 63 is appreciated by comparing FIGS. 2 and 3. A hub 64 is positioned aloft end 66 of inner member 62. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, hub 64 is rotatable about axis 68 relative to tub 10 in directions 54, 70. Canopy 20 is coupled to hub 64 via a bridge 72. Bridge 72 is a conduit for receiving wires for coupling of same between canopy 20 or overhead arm 18 and the rest of unit 2. A lever 74 extends from hub 74 which, when engaged, allows canopy 20 to move in directions 54, 70.
It is contemplated that to rotate canopy 20, it should not contact an infant inside chamber 12. Rather, canopy 20 should clear side and end guard panels 24, 26, or otherwise not interfere with isolation chamber 12. Accordingly, inner member 62 is movable upwardly in direction 61. In addition, a stop mechanism assembly 76 is coupled to both members 60, 62 for preventing canopy 20 from rotating unless member 16 has raised in direction 61 sufficiently a distance 118. (See FIG. 2.) As shown in both FIGS. 2 and 3, assembly 76 comprises a block 80 attached to member 60 by four bolts 82. A bore 84 is vertically disposed through block 80. A rod 86 extends through bore 84. End 88 of rod 86 is a threaded end. Two nuts 89, 90 and washer 92 are shown attached to threaded end 88. Opposite end 88, an end pin 94 is formed at end 96 of rod 86 selectively extending through bores 98, 100, 101 disposed through plates 102, 104 and bearing spacer 103 of hub 64. (See cross-sectional views in FIGS. 2 and 3.) A retaining ring 105 extends from the periphery of end pin 94 for limiting the length with which end pin 94 can extend through bores 98, 100, 101. Rod 86 also extends through a bracket 106. Opposed spacers 108, 110 are attached to bracket 106 via bolts 112, 114. Spacers 108, 110 space bracket 106 apart from plate 102 a distance 116. A bias member or spring 119 is positioned about rod 86 between retaining ring 105 and washer 120 adjacent bracket 106.
In operation, plate 104 is movable about axis 68 on bearing spacer 103 relative to plate 102, as shown in FIG. 3. As depicted in FIG. 2, however, member 62 has not been raised a distance 118. Accordingly, bias from spring 119 acts on end pin 94 maintaining same within bores 98, 100, 101. End pin 94, thus, blocks the movable path of plate 104, which, therefore, prevents canopy 20 from moving about axis 68, thereby maintaining its home position 47. This measure prevents a caregiver from inadvertently pivoting canopy 20 away from tub 10 while an infant is inside causing contact without first raising canopy 20 a distance 118 above isolation chamber 12 and the infant.
However, when member 62 is raised a sufficient height, defined by a distance greater than length 118 between the lower edge 120 of block 80 and washer 92, end pin 94 is retracted from bore 100 allowing plate 104, and, thus, canopy 20, to move about axis 68. (See FIG. 3.) Once member 62 has moved upwardly in direction 61 a length 118, washer 192 engages edge 120. As member 62 travels in direction 61 a distance greater than length 118, rod 86 is prevented from moving. Consequently, the continued upwardly movement of member 62 causes bracket 106 to compress spring 119 and plate 104 to rise above tip 122 of end pin 94. Once tip 122 is removed from bore 100, plate 104 is free to move about axis 68.
When canopy 20 is returned over tub 10 to its home position 47, it is contemplated that this is a precise location over tub 10 so as to properly mate canopy 20 with side and end panels 24, 26. To move canopy 20 and arm 18, they are attached to a swing bracket assembly 124 positioned on end 66 of member 62. (See FIGS. 4 and 5 through 7.) Assembly 124 comprises plates 102, 104 with bearing surface 103 positioned therebetween, a lever 74, a pin bracket 126, a coupling bracket 128, a split pin 130, and a spring 131. By moving lever 74 in direction 132, split pin 130 is lifted from bores 150, 164 of bushings 148, 162 in plates 102, 104 and surface 103. This frees plate 104 and provides canopy 20 unrestricted movement in directions 54, 70 relative to plate 102.
An exploded view of assembly 124 is shown in FIG. 5. Base plate 102 includes a centrally located bore 134 configured to receive the base 138 of bearing post 136. In the illustrated embodiment, bore 134 is not disposed through the entirety of plate 102, rather, a bottom surface 142 is provided upon which base 138 is supported. A shaft 140 extends upwardly from post 136 configured to extend through bores 144, 146 of bearing surface 103 and plate 104, respectively. A base plate bushing 148 having a bore 150 is received in bore 154 and is configured to receive pin 130. (See also FIGS. 6 and 7.) Bushing 148 is illustratively made of steel as is pin 130. It is appreciated, however, that other materials may be used for bushing 148.
Base plate 102 is attached to end 66 of member 62 via pins or bolts extending through bolt holes 152 disposed through plate 2. FIG. 5 shows pin bore 98 disposed through plate 102 and coaxially aligned with bores 100, 101 for receiving end pin 94 that extends upwardly therethrough. A plurality of bores 160 are disposed through bearing surface 103 and co-axially aligned to bores 152 for receiving the pins or bolts for secure bearing surface 103 to plate 102. Thus, plate 102 and bearing surface 103 being fixed relative to member 62, and bearing post 136 provide smooth surfaces against which pivot plate 104 rotates. End pin 94 extends through bores 98, 100, 101, to prevent such movement. In addition, roller bearing, 166 thrust washer 168, and hex nut 170 all include apertures 172, 174, 176 through which shaft 140 also extends.
Another bushing 162, similar to bushing 148, is positioned in bore 158 and includes its own bore 164 configured to receive pin 130. Both bushings 148, 162 are sized to receive split pin 130. As depicted in FIG. 8, split pin 130 comprises two divided portions 178, 180. Both portions 178, 180 extend through bores 150, 164 to lock hub 64 into place against bushing 148. (See also FIGS. 6, 7 and 9.) It is contemplated that bores 154, 156, 158 and 150, 164 are positioned on plates 102, 104, bushing 103 and bushings 148, 162 to define home position 47 of canopy 20. As depicted in FIG. 5, pin 130 is configured to extend through aperture 182 disposed through base 184 of coupling bracket 128. It is further contemplated that bores 150, 164 have different cross-sections to produce a tight fit with pin 130 for maintaining home position 47 of canopy 20. (See again, FIGS. 6, 7 and 9.)
Split pin 130 is disposed through spring 131 and extends through apertures 188, 200 of bushing 186 and panel 198. Lever 74 extends through openings 202, 204 of pin portions 178, 180, respectively, and is pivotally fixed to pin 207 at end 203, thus, serving as a cantilever. End 203 extends through a slot 205 in face plate 214 and into a slot 210 of block 206. A pin 207 extends through aperture 228 which is disposed through end 203 of pin 74. Pin 207 also extends through bore 208 which is disposed through a bore 208. Block 206 is attached to the rear side 212 of face plate 214 of bracket 126 via screws 216. (See FIGS. 6 and 7.)
Extending transversely from face panel 214 are side panels 218, 220. Extending outwardly from the lower-most extent of panels 218, 220 are flanges 222, 224 having apertures 225 disposed therethrough. Apertures 225 are sized to receive a screw or bolt 226 for securely attaching bracket 126 to pivot plate 104. (See also FIG. 4.) Accordingly, bores 229 are also disposed through pivot plate 104 configured to receive bolts 226.
During operation, moving canopy 20 first requires that it be raised in direction 61 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Canopy 20 can then be rotated in either direction 54 or 70 by moving lever 74 in direction 132 and by applying a force against the canopy 20 in either direction 54 or 70. (See FIGS. 1, 4, and 6.) Moving lever 74 in direction 132, pin 130 is caused to be removed from bushings 148, 162, thereby releasing pivot plate from any obstruction and allowing it to move freely. It is contemplated that swing bracket assembly 124 will move canopy 20 between its home position 47 over tub 10 and its spaced-apart position 45 away from tub 10. The home position 47 of canopy 20 forms proper mating between edges 48, 50, 52 of canopy halves 22, 23 and edges 13, 15 of end and side panels 24, 26.
The operation of swing bracket assembly 124 placing canopy 20 in the precise home position 47 over side and end panels 24, 26 are shown in FIGS. 6-9. Assembly 124 is shown in its locked position, for example, in FIGS. 7 and 9. This locked position indicates that canopy 20 is in its home position 47. The locked position is defined as pin 130 extending through bushings 148, 162. To ensure the precise location of canopy 20, pin 130 must fit precisely into, specifically, bore 150 of bushing 148 allowing no tolerance or gap between pin 130 and bore 150. Split pin 130 with its two portions 178, 180 is best shown in FIG. 8. Tips 230, 232 of portions 178, 180 are each biased in directions 234, 236, respectively, eliminating any gap between pin 130 and bushing 148 that might affect the precise positioning of canopy 20. (See FIG. 9.)
In the illustrated embodiment, FIG. 6 shows lever 74 extending through openings 202, 204 in the raised position. Tips 230, 232 are removed from both bushings 148, 162 which allows pivot plate 104 to move relative to base plate 102, as previously discussed. Spring 131 is positioned about the narrow portions 240, 242 and abutting ledges 244, 246 of pin 131 biasing same downwardly in direction 248. Raising lever 74 in direction 132 creates a resistance force against the bias of spring 131. Accordingly, when lever 74 is released, the bias directs split pin 130 downwardly into bushings 148, 162.
Assembly 124 is shown in FIG. 7 with split pin 130 extending through bores 150, 164 of bushings 148, 162, thus locking canopy 20 at its home position 47. To prevent any gap from existing between pin 130 and, specifically, bore 150, portions 178, 180 of pin 130 have a larger diameter 250 than the inner diameter 254 of the first portion 252 of bore 150 of bushing 148. (See also FIG. 8.) Furthermore, a second portion 256 of bore 150 is wider than diameter 280 of portions 178, 180. A five (5) degree bevel 260 is provided between the first and second portions 252, 256 for mating with corresponding five (5) degree bevels 262, 264 on portions 178, 180. Because diameter 250 of portions 178, 180 is greater than diameter 254 of bore 150, notches 270, 272 are disposed at their lower ends. Accordingly, each end 230, 232 of each portion 178, 180 has a lesser diameter 280 than diameter 254 of bushing 148. The difference between diameters 250 and 280 in combination with bevels 262, 264 and 261 creates lateral forces 234, 236 each directed outwardly forcing bevels 262, 264 adjacent the bevel of portion 256. Accordingly, no tolerance or gap exists between bevels 262, 264 of pin 130 and the bevel of portion 256 of bore 150. This creates a precise and repeatable mating of canopy 20 with sides 22, 24 at its home position 47.
It is contemplated that angle 260 can be any angle sufficient to assist in effecting forces 234, 236 outwardly. Such an angle is dependent on the material used for the pin and bushing with the desire that any frictional force created by the mating of the pin and bushing does not cause the pin to become stuck in the bushing. Furthermore, it is contemplated that other pin-type devices or other apparatus that effectively locks canopy 20 in a precise home position, by eliminating the possibility of a tolerance or gap between an apparatus and a corresponding receptacle can be used.
Vertical arm 436 includes an outer tubular column 400, an inner tubular column 410, and a telescoping drive assembly 412 as shown in FIG. 10. Drive assembly 412 includes a motor (not shown) encased by a motor housing 414 and a telescoping lead screw that extends and retracts in response to actuation of the motor encased by motor housing 414.
As shown in FIG. 10, the alignment mechanism 426 includes a bottom plate 446 which is pivotably mounted to plate 424 by a bolt 448 and nut 450 about axis 454. A bearing plate 452 is located between plates 424 and plate 446. Plate 424 is coupled to the tubular column 410. The mounting assembly shown in FIG. 10 permits rotation of the overhead arm 438 about an axis 454 extending through the telescoping arm 436. Therefore, as plate 446 and bearing 452 rotate relative to plate 424 as shown by arrows 456, the overhead arm 438 rotates about axis 454 relative to the patient support 7. (See also FIG. 1.) Therefore, the overhead arm 438 can be rotated about axis 454 to an out-of-the-way position relative to patient support 7.
As also shown in FIG. 10, the canopy halves 552 include end panels 582 which are coupled to cover 580 by extension sections 584. Canopy halves 552 also include an angled transparent surface 586 and inwardly extending top portions 588. Top portions 588 engage each other to provide an enclosure around the patient support surface which is spaced apart from the overhead arm 438.
Another embodiment of a home position apparatus for use with an infant care unit is shown in FIG. 11, and is indicated by reference numeral 500. Device 500 includes a swivel plate 502, a bearing pad 504 and a stationary block 506. Block 506 is attached to column 410. Illustratively, screws (not shown) extend through bores 508 which are disposed through block 506 to attach block 506 to column 410. The pattern of bores 508 is dependent on the pattern of corresponding bores in column 410. Bores 510, 512 are configured to receive plungers 514, 516 configured to extend slightly from top surface 518 of block 506. A central bore 520 is disposed in block 506, illustratively between bores 510, 512. It is contemplated, however, that bore 520 may be placed in other positions on block 506. Bore 520 is configured to receive shoulder screw 522.
Bearing pad 504 comprises two plunger holes 524, 526 as well as a central hole 528. Holes 524, 526 are configured to receive the ends of plungers 514, 516. Central hole 528 is configured to receive shoulder screw 522. Pad 504 is attached to top surface 518 of block 506, thus, providing a smooth surface upon which lower surface 530 of plate 502 can pivot.
Plate 502 has a central bore 532 disposed there through configured to receive shoulder screw 522. Bores 532, 528 and 520 are coaxially aligned such that when shoulder screw 522 is disposed through each bore, block 502 pivots about screw 522 relative to the infant support. Specifically, the threaded end 540 of screw 522 engages corresponding threads (not shown) in bore 520 of block 506. This engagement attaches screw 522 to block 506. A bearing surface 542 on screw 522 allows the surfaces of hole 528 of pad 504 and bore 532 of plate 502 to pivot there about. A cap 544 extends beyond the diameter of bearing surface 542 and seats within a recess 546 in bore 532 to secure plate 502 to apparatus 500.
Two detents 534, 536, are provided on the lower surface 530 of plate 502 and are configured to receive the ends of plungers 514, 516, respectively. Because plate 446 is configured to attach to the top surface 538 of plate 502, as plate 502 pivots relative to the infant support, so too does the canopy halves 552. (See also FIG. 10.) Detents 534, 536 are coaxially aligned with holes 524, 526 and plungers 514, 516, respectively, and are positioned relative to the position of the canopy halves 552 to define a home position. Accordingly, when canopy halves 552 pivot to this home position, plungers 514, 516 will extend upwardly through holes 524, 526 and engage detents 534, 536, respectively. This engagement, holds plate 502 in position relative to block 506 to produce a reproducible stop position indicating to the caregiver that canopy halves 552 are in the home position.
Although the foregoing embodiments have been described, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of the apparatus, and various changes and modifications may be made to adapt the various uses and characteristics without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, as described by the claims which follow.

The Amiibo Hunt
Interested in amiibo? Did you just buy a new house to contain your expanding collection? Then subscribe to this thread! Its purpose is to be a clearing house for availability/deals/tips/trades for amiibo. Find a rare amiibo available somewhere? Post it here! End up with an extra one that someone else might want? Let everyone know! Need that special amiibo and are willing to pay shipping? Ask for it here!
I'll endeavor to keep this first post updated with two things: Tools and resources for tracking down and checking availability of amiibo, and a list of who wants what, for anyone who's out and about and comes across a motherlode. It's left up to individuals to arrange shipment/payment, though. Please play nice, this isn't eBay.
Post your resources and info, along with wants and haves, and I'll update this post as I can.
Stores that you wouldn't expect amiibo to be in
- B&H (Photography store, primarily)
- Nebraska Furniture Mart
- Newegg
Tools and Resources
- Someone wrote a script that tweets whenever stock or prices change on amiibo at Amazon. Follow @amiibo_tracker to get updates.
- amiibo subreddit (Lots of good info/insight. Clearly not a well-kept secret).
- Google Docs spreadsheet with amiibo store availability and comments (unsure how often updated, YMMV)
- Another Google Docs spreadsheet with amiibo store availability and comments (again, YMMV)

Have or Want
Some basic guidelines on the spirit of the "Want" list:
This is envisioned as an easy single place to look and see if someone's looking for an amiibo that you've come across. If you post your wants here, know that there's an expectation that you'll pay someone back for it, along with shipping. Of course, it's up to the individual who bought if they want to gift it, but I doubt if anyone's expecting this to be a, "buy it for me!" list.
Also for purchasers, this list doesn't mean, "buy it at any price", since anyone can do that. Its intent is to have a way for someone to grab an amiibo at MSRP for someone who doesn't have any in their area. Best to buy from stores that have an easy return policy, if need be.
Neither the Amiibo Hunt thread, nor its creator, nor the CS administration team is responsible for working out the details of amiibo transactions. Those can be taken care of in PMs. Public displays of appreciation are approved of.
