  • Publication number: 20240125192
    Abstract: A regulator valve has a check valve manifold for use in subsea control circuits. For example, the regulator valve having the check valve manifold can be used in a circuit between a directional control valve and an actuator for a gate valve. The check valve manifold can have a flange that attaches to the regulator valve to communicate with the supply-side and outlet-side of the regulator valve. Internal communication inside the manifold includes a check valve. If the pressure in the circuit downstream of the regulator valve needs to be vented, the check valve can open to allow the pressure to bleed from the outlet-side back to the supply-side without needing to pass through the internal pressure control valve of the regulator.

  • Publication number: 20230310115
    Abstract: Operating room tables have limited height adjustment capability. To adequately treat a patient, surgeons often have to risk back injury and/or stand on rickety piles of prior art step stools, which is unsafe and can compromise sterility. Here, a computer-processor-controlled, motorized, surgical step-platform device is disclosed. The device is configured to have dimensions similar to a step stool. The device is configured to easily slide across a floor to an operating table. Then, often by remote control from a Smartphone, the device can vacuum affix itself into position and automatically raise between 5 to 18 inches above the floor. The device has sophisticated rechargeable battery power management and further accommodates wired, and wireless foot switches to control nearby surgical equipment.
