An after treatment system (ATS) module for a vehicle includes, fluidly connected in series, an inlet, a plurality of chemical reaction modules and an urea mixer module. The chemical reaction modules are arranged to define a substantial quadrangular path of a flow of exhaust gases flowing in the ATS module. The urea mixer module is perpendicular to all the plurality of chemical reaction modules. The ATS module also includes deflector means configured to impart a swirling motion to the flow before flow enters in urea mixer module.

An apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a sensor () for emitting a signal indicating a variation in blood volume (&#x394;Bv&#x2033;) of an individual () subjected to extracorporeal blood treatment and a sensor () for emitting a signal indicating a weight loss of the individual. A control unit () receives the signals, compares the ratio between the relative variation of blood volume (&#x394;Bv/BV) and the relative variation of weight loss (AWL/TW) of the individual with a desired value, and controls the weight loss of the individual on the basis of the comparison. The apparatus enables automatically controlling a dialysis, preventing some complications due to hypotension.

A tilting system for a suspended cab of a work vehicle includes a hydraulic cylinder coupled to a chassis of the work vehicle at a first end and the suspended cab at a second end. Further, the hydraulic cylinder is configured to extend to drive the suspended cab to rotate from a lowered position to a raised position. In addition, the hydraulic cylinder is configured to be substantially horizontal while the suspended cab is in the lowered position.
