  • Publication number: 20230119478
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coating compositions and methods of forming catalyst-containing coatings on substrates for catalytic heater devices. The coatings are formed by a chemical grafting method, which chemically bonds the coating (and catalysts contained therein) to the substrate. The resulting coatings have high temperature resistance and inhibit or prevent catalyst migration to the substrate, thereby maintaining catalytic activity and desired temperatures over prolonged use.

  • Publication number: 20230112200
    Abstract: A computer-assisted teleoperated surgical system includes one or more manipulator devices and other components. A manipulator device includes a first link, a second link coupled to a distal end of the first link, a third link coupled to the second link, and an instrument actuator coupled to the third link. A joint that couples the second link to the first link defines a yaw axis. A joint that couples the third link to the second link defines a pitch axis. The instrument actuator defines an insertion axis. The yaw, pitch, and insertion axes are fixed in relation to each other and intersect at a remote center of motion. The instrument actuator may insert a surgical instrument along the insertion axis roll and may roll the surgical instrument around the insertion axis. The proximal end of the first link may be coupled to a repositionable setup structure, which may optionally be mechanically grounded to an operating room table.

  • Patent number: 11598435
    Abstract: A valve for a refrigeration system includes a valve body, a guide seat arranged in the valve body, a piston plug that has a metering slot and is axially movable relative to the guide seat to open and close the valve, and an adjustable valve stem that is axially movable to engage the piston plug. The piston plug is movable between a closed position in which the piston plug is seated against the guide seat and engaged with the valve stem to prevent fluid flow through the valve, a metering position in which the piston plug is moved away from the guide seat and engaged with the valve stem to enable a predetermined amount of forward fluid flow through the valve, and a check valve position in which the piston plug is seated against the guide seat to prevent reverse fluid flow through the valve.

  • Patent number: 11598882
    Abstract: This problem has been addressed before, but the way of doing so is flawed and incomplete. Only larger objects can be tracked, neglecting items such as glasses, TV remotes, and headphones. Some also solely use Bluetooth tracking, which can be quick and precise, but is unreliable. Items lost far away from people with Bluetooth active their phone cannot be found using this method. This is not an option for most small, easily misplaced items. Various embodiments of the device (in one case using the name SeekR) allow for tracking of all these difficult-to-keep-track-of items. The device's small size allows it to attach to all of these items that existing solutions cannot, e.g., on the frame of glasses, e.g., the bridge, temple and/or temple tips.
