Abstract: A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.

Abstract: An apparatus for covering a water container having an open top and treating a source water therein. The apparatus has one or more dividing walls mountable to an interior space of the water container for partitioning it into multiple water-treatment zones, and a cover mountable to at least a portion of the open top of the water container above the one or more dividing walls. Each dividing wall has or forms one or more openings for directing the source water from one water-treatment zone to the next. The cover has one or more vaulted cover sections each defining a gas chamber above the dividing walls. Each cover section has a condensation surface in the corresponding gas chamber for condensing a steam evaporated from the source water to clean water, and at least one water-collection channel coupled to at least one side of the condensation surface for collecting the condensed clean water.

Abstract: The invention encompasses systems and methods to identify patients, and in particular eligible patients, of a health system or healthcare provider and gain insight, as to the areas of opportunity for a pharmacy to focus its efforts including, for example, a specific clinic within the hospital, a health insurance payer, or a limited distribution medication in order to improve care for the patients in greatest medical need as well as identify patients eligible to fill one or more medications at a particular pharmacy, whether a hospital-owned pharmacy or third-party pharmacy with whom the health system or healthcare provider has a contractual relationship.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically supplying surface mount chip components from a bulk feeder and placing the chip components on a substrate. The apparatus includes a base frame, a substrate feeding mechanism, a placement head, and a placement head positioning system. The substrate feeding mechanism delivers substrates to a component receiving position on the base frame. The placement head is translationally movable with respect to the base frame and includes a component supplying and placing mechanism, to supply components and place components on a substrate in a desired location. The component supplying and placing mechanism includes a component transfer mechanism, a component feeder, and a vacuum spindle. The transfer mechanism includes a rotatable wheel with a plurality of component holding compartments, a plurality of angularly disposed stations, and a drive mechanism for sequentially moving the compartments to at least a component receiving station and a component delivery station.
