Abstract: A gas sensor module is coupled to a medical gas system in a healthcare facility to monitor gas type and/or gas flow. In some embodiments, the gas sensor module is coupled to a gas pipe of the medical gas system behind a wall, ceiling, floor, access panel, or the like and transmits an alarm signal to an alarm controller located elsewhere in the healthcare facility. In other embodiments, the gas sensor module plugs into a service outlet of the medical gas system. Also disclosed is a combination service outlet and gas sensor module. A main gas alarm module may communicate with one or more remote gas alarm modules.

Abstract: A user interface assembly and method for a power controller having a housing adapted for mechanically coupling to a controller housing of the power controller, a display visible on an outer surface of the housing for providing a visual presentation to a user, a user input mechanism for receiving an input from the user, a user interface circuit disposed within the housing and coupled to the display and the user input mechanism for controlling an operation the power controller when coupled to the user interface assembly, and a connector coupled to the user interface circuit and adapted for electrically connecting the user interface circuit to an electrical connector associated with the power controller upon the mechanical coupling of the housing to the controller housing.

Abstract: A power control system has a controller housing, a power switch disposed within the controller housing for selectively providing power from a power supply to a power load, a limiter disposed within the controller housing configured for providing a limit switching function in response to a threshold limit, and a controller disposed within the controller housing and configured for controlling one or more operations of the control system.

Abstract: A medical gas alarm system for use in a healthcare facility having a medical gas system and having a network of computer devices is provided. The alarm system includes at least one area alarm controller adapted to receive a first signal indicative of a condition of a first portion of the medical gas system. The area alarm controller is adapted to communicate with the network. The alarm system also includes at least one master alarm controller adapted to receive a second signal indicative of a condition of a second portion of the medical gas system. The master alarm controller is adapted to communicate with the network. The area alarm controller is adapted to communicate with the master alarm controller through the network.

Abstract: A branding iron stove comprises a body having an upright longitudinal extent so as to provide an elongated upright heating compartment closed by upper and lower ends. The body has an elongated upright opening therethrough for providing access to the heating compartment. A first branding iron support is attached to the body and provides a first plurality of vertically spaced-apart locations for receiving and holding a plurality of branding iron rods, the first plurality of spaced-apart locations being disposed outwardly away from the body. A second branding iron support is attached to the body and provides a second plurality of spaced-apart locations disposed adjacent to the opening for receiving and holding a plurality of branding iron rods. The first and second spaced-apart locations are cooperatively constructed and arranged to receive and hold the plurality of branding irons in a vertical array of generally horizontal positions.
