Abstract:
A tele-presence system that includes a cart. The cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera. The system also includes a remote station that is coupled to the robot face and the overhead camera. The remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The remote station can display video images captured by the robot camera and/or overhead camera. By way of example, the cart can be used in an operating room, wherein the overhead camera can be placed in a sterile field and the robot face can be used in a non-sterile field. The user at the remote station can conduct a teleconference through the robot face and also obtain a view of a medical procedure through the overhead camera.
Abstract:
A telepresence system that includes a portable telepresence apparatus coupled to a remote control station. The telepresence apparatus comprises a monitor, a camera, a speaker, a microphone and a viewfinder screen coupled to a housing. The view finder screen allows the user to view the image being captured by the camera. The portable telepresence apparatus is a hand held device that can be moved by a holder of the device in response to audio commands from the remote station. The telepresence apparatus can be used by medical personnel to remotely view a patient in a fast and efficient manner.

24,336. Rosenthal, J. H., and Davy, C. S. Nov. 2. Grates.-In a chain grate the bars A forming the grate surface are each provided at one end with a jaw to engage bulbous or like flanges D on the transverse supporting - members. The bars A are slid on to the flanges D from the ends of the latter, and the jaws are so shaped that the bars can pivot on the flanges but cannot drop off. Specification 4468/11 is referred to.

16,091. Rosenthal, J. H. Aug. 10. Feedwater, controlling.-In an apparatus, shown in sectional plan in Fig. 1, for controlling the admission of feedwater to steam boilers or like vessels, so as to maintain an approximately uniform water level the height of which may be varied, the passage of water from the inlet to the outlet A , communicating with the feed check valve, is controlled by a tubular valve D operated by a float F in the boiler or other vessel. The casing has a liner C having inclined ports c to register with similar ports d in the valve D, which is adjusted endwise in the liner by a screwed spindle G engaging a nut in a bridge I, passing through a stuffing-box H, carrying a disc turning in ballbearings K between a cross-web D and a cap D , and operated by a hand-wheel J. Orifices D , G' may be formed in the web D' and the spindle G so as to balance the valve. A rod M, attached to a bridle N encircling the float lever, passes through a stuffing-box and serves to jerk the lever to expel grit and test its working. In a modification, the weight of the float is balanced by a counterweighted lever.

17,708. Rosenthal, J. H. July 31. Water-tube boilers.- The boiler consists of a nest of generating-tubes B arranged in sections with Babcock and Wilcox or like headers at the top and bottom, and a nest of circulating- tubes C connected above to a steam and water drum A and below to a water drum D or to extensions of the lower headers. The drums A, D may be stepped to receive the straight ends of the tubes C; or the tube-plates may be plain and the ends of the tubes C curved radially. The upper headers are connected to the steamspace of the drum A. A superheater S is located in the space between the tubes B, C, and a feed - heater F beyond the tubes C. The course of the gases is as shown by the arrows.

12,352. Nobbs, C. G., Nobbs, C. G., and Rosenthal, J. E. June 6. Couplings.-A terminal plug for an electrically heated radiator containing oil consists of a flanged metal sleeve h in which terminal rods, which may be of non-circular section, are spaced by insulating- material, such as " embroin," impervious and inert to oil. This is poured into the sleeve when hot, and compressed between dies while cooling. The sleeve may be of brass and tinned so that it can be sweated or soldered in'to a metal plug ; the flange may be countersunk in the plug and sealed by soldering. The radiator is filled up to the bottom of the upper header with oil, the terminal plug preferably being above the liquid.
