This paper proposes a cross-disciplinary methodology for a fundamental question in product development: How can the innovation patterns during the evolution of an engineering system (ES) be encapsulated, so that it can later be mined through data analysis methods? Reverse engineering answers the question of which components a developed engineering system consists of, and how the components interact to make
the working product. TRIZ answers the question of which problem-solving principles can be, or have been employed in developing that system, in comparison to its earlier versions, or with respect to similar systems. While these two methodologies have been very popular, to the best of our knowledge, there does not yet exist a methodology that
reverse-engineers, encapsulates and represents the information regarding the application of TRIZ through the complete product development process. This paper suggests such a methodology that consists of mathematical formalism, graph visualization, and database representation. The proposed approach is demonstrated by analyzing the design and development process for a prototype wrist-rehabilitation
robot and representing the process as a graph that consists of TRIZ principles.

Hospital Management is a complex and dynamic organisational challenge. Hospital managers (HMs)
are responsible for the effective use of valuable resources and assets, which is a significant issue in
healthcare. Due to factors such as the increase in health care costs and political pressure, HMs have
been compelled to examine new ways to improve efficiency and reduce healthcare delivery costs whilst
improving patient satisfaction. Healthcare managers require tools that will allow them to review the
current system or identify areas of improvement and quantify the possible changes.
This paper covers an evaluation of a hospital simulator developed by the authors. A usability test of the
simulator was carried out with hospital managers to provide real-world feedback on the simulator. This
has provided lessons to be applied in the development and use of such a tool. For instance, use of traffic

Exoskeleton type finger rehabilitation robots are helpful in assisting the treatment of tendon injuries. A survey has been carried out with engineers and health professionals to further develop an existing finger exoskeleton prototype. The goal of the study is to better understand the relative importance of several design criteria through the analysis of survey results and to improve the finger exoskeleton accordingly. The survey questions with strong correlations are identified and the preferences of the two respondent groups are statistically compared. The results of the statistical analysis are interpreted and insights obtained are used to guide the design process. The answers to the qualitative questions are also discussed together with their design implications.

CHAPTER 3
ANTHROPOMETRY
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the chapter, students will have the ability to describe anthropometry, identify the best ergonomic design principle for a given situation, demonstrate how to use anthropometric data tables, and apply anthropometric principles to a workplace design.
INTRODUCTION
In basic terms, anthropometry is the measurement of the physical attributes of humans. Over time, the body dimensions of the human population have changed. In general, people have become taller and heavier than in the past. There is currently an obesity epidemic in the United States (US), and the result is that people are much heavier compared with the population around the 1930s and 1940s. This chapter is not concerned with how people in the US got to this point, rather how the tools people use must be changed to accommodate this heavier population.
In addition to these sorts of changes, the people who work within a population also change. In the early 1980s, a large number of female workers began working in heavy industries. At that time, safety equipment had not yet been adapted yet for smaller females. In one particular instance, a female with size 6 shoe was hired by a chemical company. Because size 6 female chemical boots were not available, the worker had to wear male size 7 chemical boots. This caused a big problem for the worker who had to walk and work in these boots. A female size 6 shoe is 8.9 in. in length. A male size 7 shoe is 9.7 in. in length. This is almost an inch difference, and makes a tremendous difference for the person wearing the shoes. This condition did not change until the mid-1980s. Now work boots of all sizes can be found.
It is obvious that ancient peoples used anthropometry of sorts to adapt tools and clothing to their needs. Even today, consumer goods such as clothing, appliances, cars, and tools are the biggest producers of anthropometric data. Though, in many instances, products adapted to one individual are still produced. Take a tailored article of clothing. In this case, the individual is measured and the product designed and manufactured from these data.
The savant, Alphonse Bertillon (born 1853), gave this name in 1883 to a system of identification depending on the unchanging character of certain measurements of parts of the human frame (Rhodes, 1956). He found by studying patient inquiry that several measures of physical features, along with dimensions of certain bones or bony structures in the body, remain fairly constant throughout adult life.
He concluded that when these measurements were made and recorded systematically every single individual would be found to be perfectly distinguishable from others. The system was soon adapted to police methods when crime fighters found value in being able to fix a person's identity. It prevented false impersonation and brought home, to any one charged with an offense, a person's responsibility for a wrongdoing. After its introduction in France in .

Abstract— Hospital beds are manufactured around the world,
with each nation providing its own unique qualities and traits
to the hospital beds. In researching the beds, we classified
into two main types: medical and surgical hospital beds as
well as intensive care unit beds. Each personality has
developed a various mechanism for lifting the backrest. We
have studied various hospitals bed and to develop a good
quality bed. Mostly hospital bed are operated manually by
means of health care workers, from this both the patients and
health care workers feel uncomfortable. To overcome the
difficulty manual method is replaced by automatic method
.Various bed lifting methods used at present such as screw
jack, spring lifting, hydraulic and worm gear mechanism
using threaded joints are evolved. From our area of concept
is an incorporated new mechanism for swiping motion. An
automatic bed control system is particularly adapted for the
care of patients at hospitals, and comprises a stationary
frame, and a mattress support having a head section, a center
section, and foot section, which are in hinging type is
interconnected. A lift arm has opposing ends thereof
pivotally connected with the frame and the mattress support
center section respectively.
Key words: Fabrication, ABCS, Automated Bed Control
System
I. INTRODUCTION
Hospitals, rehabilitation homes, nursing homes and
retirement homes around the world are dependent upon a
quality medical staff to maximize safety of individuals Staff
professionalism, facility quality and the condition of
equipment are all key components in medical care which
must be taken into account when designing hospitals.
Particularly hospital beds are of recent concern around the
world. In the United States, there have been a number of
FDA (Food and Drug Associations) regulations adjusted in
recent years while all around Europe recent modifications to
reduce the risk of patient entrapment were introduced. In
areas such as Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and other
developing nations there is a particular need for improving
and modernizing hospital beds. The domestic manufacturing
of modern hospital beds in India will also allow the facilities
to gear their focus toward other research and Pinion (to and
fro) along with links for lifting .which is highly a
mechanical based and to analyze the components and
functions of each. We have protested various literature
review and develop a new hospital bed according to our own
design, and strive for developing the product. Actually
Hospital bed and others furniture should be designed
considering ergonomics. The word "Ergonomics" comes
from two Greek words ergon," meaning work, and "nomos"
meaning laws (Bridger 1995). It is the interaction among
man, machine and environment which focuses on the
interactions between the works demand and worker
capabilities. Anthropometry is one of the basic parts of
ergonomics that refers to the measurement of human body.
It is derived from the Greek words “anthropos” means man
and “metron” means measure (Bridger 1995).
Anthropometric data are used in ergonomics to specify the
physical dimensions of workspaces Our plan is to study
major existing models and we have to indulge a new
mechanism (ie) Rack task to the man” (Grandjean 1980) and
to ensure that the physical mistakes between the dimensions
of equipment and products and the corresponding user
dimensions are avoided. In certain countries, poor and
middle class people generally go to government hospital
which is more or less charge free. Here, the use of
ergonomics in hospital and other work stations is very poor.
This study will help this regional people to design hospital
bed according to anthropometric data of this regional people
considering patients physical demand. The paper is being
organized as follows; after discussing the introduction
section a detailed review on the different literature are being
depicted in the following section, then in section 3 some
outlines of research methodologies are discussed which is
followed by result and result analysis. At the end portion of
this paper a suitable conclusion.
II. ADJUSTABLE BED
As long as people have slept in beds there have been
continual attempts to revise their construction in order to
better accommodate the individual’s particular needs for
sleeping and lounging in comfort. One major initiative,
which is used extensively in the health sector, was the
development of the adjustable bed. Adjustable beds were
originally designed with the principal purpose to
accommodate the patient in a variety of positions. A
growing number of people place television and other media
based entertainment devices in their bedrooms, and spend
more time lounging in bed. For this to be enjoyable issues of
posture are important. Consequently companies are taking a
scientific approach to bed design with these needs in mind
and with the intention of solving the inadequacies in regard
to such things as comfort when sleeping or reading. The
result has been the development of adjustable beds for use in
residential environments by those who have no health or
physical impairment. The adjustable bed is now considered
by many to be an alternative piece of leisure furniture
(Stroud 2000). An example of a modern adjustable bed for
the home is shown in Figure 1.1.
Fig. 1: Adjustable hospital beds
A. Design Model
Design Model is adopted as per own design, they pride
themselves on using state of the art technology and
innovative production methods. This is reflected in the
2. Design and Fabrication of Automated Bed Control System for Patients
(IJSRD/Vol. 4/Issue 02/2016/169)
All rights reserved by www.ijsrd.com 589
broad base of skills present in the design team, from graphic
design, architecture, textiles, CAD/CAM to industrial
design. The general brief presented by Design Model
incorporated the design of a simple and affordable
adjustable mechanism to integrate into the frame of their
latest bed range. Design model were aware that the
mechanism required to produce the adjustment was
available through third party suppliers and could be
retrofitted to their bed. However, these mechanisms did not
have the desired styling, and integration into their frame
would have required extensive modifications to the bed.
Therefore, Design Model made the decision to design our
own mechanism.
B. Design Techniques
Design techniques are tools or aids used for bringing a
rational approach into the design process and a designer may
combine a number of these methods during the course of the
design process (Cross 1994). More often than not these
design techniques appear to be too systematic and are not
useful in the chaotic world of the design office.
French (1971) suggests that they increase the size
and range of the projects the designer can undertake and
improve the quality and speed of their work. Some of these
techniques are common sense methods yet by formalizing
them into the design process they are not over looked. At
times by following a design Background to a Systematic
Approach to Design technique it may appear that the focus
of the design process has been diverted from the central task
of designing. While this is true, this diversion is important
as it sometimes allows the designer to view a broader
picture rather than viewing an immediate problem at hands.
Formalization of the design method widens the
approach to the problem, externalizes design thinking and
encourages the designer to look beyond the first solution
that enters their head. Factors that otherwise may have been
over looked with informal methods are not neglected in a
more structured approach. Externalization is the process of
transferring thoughts onto paper which is done in a number
of ways such as creating charts and diagrams.
Cross (1994) suggests that all of this frees the
designers mind from the complexities of the design to allow
more intuitive and imaginative thinking. Using design
techniques also reduces the size of mental steps, prompts
inventive steps, reduces the chances of overlooking them,
and generates design philosophies for the problem in
question (French 1971).
Perspective of J.L Peterson investigated in hospital
beds of the type to which this invention relates, the bed
spring is adjustable in two ways. First, the head of the bed
spring may be raised upwardly so the whole head end
portion of the bed is raised to lift the upper part of the
patient’s body above a horizontal position and there is
shown an arrangement in which a hydraulic pump supplies
hydraulic fluid pressure to two separate hydraulic cylinders
for individually operating the bed spring In the control of
these hydraulic cylinders, it is necessary, first, that all
controls be conveniently accessible to a patient in the bed
and, secondly, that the movements of the bed be effected
only when the patient desires them.in its two above-
described movements.
Perspective of Catalano Coolidge developed
automated bed control system using screw jack mechanism
along with slider crank lifting device .here the form of motor
get actuated and transmitted through the screw jack. Both
the motor and screw jack are coupled so that the power is
equally transmitted, henceforth power is generated to the
back rest by a means of slider lift mechanism this forces the
swiping motion.
Perspective of Stryker Medical’s Stryker Medical
has been producing beds for intensive care units for over
sixty years. Stryker’s first major design was known as the
Wedge Turning Frame and was developed in 1939. This bed
allowed nurses to easily turn their patients and help elevate
bed sores caused by long periods of immobility. Stryker
continues to design beds based on ease of use to allow
nurses to focus less on the beds and more on patient care.
The current design by Stryker for Intensive Care Units is the
Epic II.
Perspective of Hill-Rom the Total Care ICU bed
provides not only stability and easy to use controls for the
patient but is also built to satisfy the needs of patient
caregivers. The bed reduces the amount of stress on the
caregivers’ backs when transferring patients from the bed.
The bed provides other capabilities such as an overriding
feature for CPR which, by the press of a button, overrides all
manual and automatic controls to immediately put the bed
into a position convenient for resuscitation in case of
emergency.
C. Problem Statement
When using a hydraulic system Abnormal noise in hydraulic
systems is often caused by aeration or cavitation. Aeration
occurs when air contaminates the hydraulic fluid .Air in the
hydraulic fluid makes an alarming banging or knocking
noise when it compresses and decompresses, as it circulates
through the system. Other symptoms include foaming of the
fluid and erratic actuator movement. Aeration accelerates
degradation of the fluid and causes damage to system
components through loss of lubrication, overheating and
burning of seals, When using spring system it possess
certain vibration while the back rust is exerted ,if in turn
occurs any fault while compression and expansion it
evaluates large disaster. (ie)when the sudden load applied on
the motor rpm of the motor rises this in turn produces
certain vibration in spring thereby undergo certain
dislocation in bed arrangement.
III. OBJECTIVES
The overall aim of our project was to:
To analyze all existing bed products and to determine
the highest quality in relationship to price.
To produce the highest quality beds -Fabricate our own
design.
Instead of using existing mechanism we have
determined Rack and Pinion to generate to and fro
motion. From this to and fro motion the swiping
motion is adopted using a form of linkage mechanism.
To manufacture a prototype of our bed alterations.
To create standard quality bed.
To manufacture a prototype of our bed alterations.
To produce the highest quality beds -Fabricate our own
design not in exist.

Fig. 11: Wire frame model of automated bed control system
It shows of schematic diagram of the automatic bed
control system is represented in the mechanism of
mechanical dynamic motion. This hospital bed was designed
based on the comfort of patient in which attain the motion
for elsewhere. The bed system is adopted for patient to
move one place to another place without any human being
help to anywhere. It is simply designed in the system is fully
based on mechanical linking mechanism. Many authors
were found the hospital bed system such as electronically
based to produce and selling in the market. But as per our
authors concern maximum contribution of actuation
movement is relevant to mechanical.
The bed system is newly developed by adopted in
linkage mechanism with help of movement to the bed
control system. This system is automatically movement in
each component with help of motor power. The power will
transmitted to rack and pinion in addition to that
transmitting power controlled from compound gear
mechanism. The rack and pinion is to transverse motion to
action on the roller over the slotter. Mainly, the linkages
should move on slotter, the back rest portion will adjust
based on the transverse motion.
Many hospital beds actuating system movement
with help of hydraulic system is discovered from hospitals
for used in patient. Now, the current authors determined the
problem from exiting system such as noise, quick action etc.
Based on the problem the authors replaced hydraulic to
linkage mechanism were used to bed system for improving
the efficiency of the bed system. The summary of our
project is at first the selection of materials as required and
then appropriate frame for the construction of hospital bed is
manipulated .Motor is adjusted by imparting slots so that it
can be adjusted thereby followed by rack and pinion, next to
compound gear mechanism, so that speed can be reduced by
the form of gear ratio. The motor is actuated by means of
control switch (ie)both the clockwise and anticlockwise
movement is occurred so that movement is transferred to the
rack and pinion which in turn posses rotational motion into a
form of to and fro motion. Rack and pinion is coupled by
means of universal joint from this system followed by
means of linkage along with channel slots ,the frame is
mainly split into two parts the main part is backrest the
power is transferred to the backrest to evaluate swiping
motion. It is accompanied by means of linkage actuation.
(ie)when the motor is in forward rotation rack forces to
move front it forces the linkage to produce up thrust force
this provide the backrest to force upward the same system is
accompanied when motor is reversed rack get retarded this
forces the compressive force in links thereby backrest
brought it original position is obtained. Back flow is arrested
by means of a stopper.
VI. CONCLUSION
The project is concluded that mostly the hospital beds
manufactured in modern traits are using 60-70% of
electronic circuits usually in the form of boards. The authors
have surveyed various hospital beds and also evolved a
certain mechanisms which are already in exist. The
developing a new mechanism and also to produce cheaper
quality bed that going to produce there by selected rack and
pinion to produce to and fro and thereby channel along with
slotter accompanied by links to manipulate swiping motion.
we experimented in implementing a new mechanism and
made it as a prototype .while implementing the product is
captivate some flaws but finally at exist has been developed
Automated bed control for patients (product) into a grant
success according to the patient convenience, and also
