  • Patent number: 10376195
    Abstract: This document describes automated nursing assessments. Automation of the nursing assessment involves a nursing-assessment device that makes determinations of a person's mood, physical state, psychosocial state, and neurological state. To determine a mood and physical state of a person, video of the person is captured while the person is positioned in front of an everyday object, such as a mirror. The captured video is then processed according to human condition recognition techniques, which produces indications of the person's mood and physical state, such as whether the person is happy, sad, healthy, sick, vital signs, and so on. In addition to mood and physical state, the person's psychosocial and neurological state are also determined. To do so, questions are asked of the person. These questions are determined from a plurality of psychosocial and neurological state assessment questions, which include queries regarding how the person feels, what the person has been doing, and so on.

  • Patent number: 3990591
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a single mast assembly which accomplishes all of the functions which presently require the use of three handling masts, one for fuel assemblies, one for control rods and other long rods, and one for orifice rods. The assembly, in its preferred form, includes a long primary mast secured at its upper end to a handling bridge to depend vertically therefrom, a much shorter working mast vertically movably mounted within the primary mast, and a control rod grapple shank vertically movably mounted within the working mast and of about the same length. The working mast can be lowered onto a fuel assembly and connected to it by gripper latches to lift the fuel assembly and move it to or from the reactor core or other locations, after raising it within the primary mast for protection.
