Abstract: A system transports a device into a piece of industrial equipment for the purpose of collecting data inside of the industrial equipment. In an embodiment, the industrial equipment is a furnace and the device is an IR camera. The system opens a door covering an opening on the furnace, moves the IR camera inside of the furnace for a short time, the IR camera captures images, and the system removes the camera from the furnace and closes the door.

Abstract: An interchangeable battery pack apparatus and method are disclosed which includes a top housing having a printed circuit board and a connector for electrically connecting a pair of batteries in order to provide an electrical power with respect to an external device. A bottom housing having a number of battery components for connecting the batteries can be coupled to the top housing via a fastener to form a battery pack in order to secure the batteries from a humid and corrosive environment. The battery pack can be interchangeably utilized as a replaceable battery pack and/or a ruggedized potted battery pack.

Abstract: A wireless device (150) and related method of monitoring or controlling a process includes a housing (200) having a mounting structure (300) for rigidly connecting the wireless device with respect to a solid surface, such as within a processing facility (125). An antenna assembly (250) has a movable connection (e.g., using set screw 310 and channel 425) with the housing (200), wherein the antenna assembly can be moved with respect to the housing (200), and wherein the movable connection maintains a hermetic seal and an explosion-proof flame path of the housing and the antenna assembly. The wireless device (150) can include a transmitter, receiver or a transceiver coupled to the antenna assembly (250), wherein the wireless device (150) is operable to wirelessly transmit using the antenna assembly to a remote receiver or receive information from a remotely located transmitter.

Abstract: An angularly adjustable headrest for an operatory chair having means to quickly and effectively latch and unlatch the headrest pad relative to the supporting member incident to positioning the headrest member at a desired angle relative to the back of the chair.

Abstract: A chair of the type particularly adapted for use by dentists, ophthalmologists and the like but also useful for other purposes in which a back is pivoted relative to a seat and a leg rests extends outward from the seat. The seat with the back pivotally connected thereto is adapted to be moved about a vertical axis from a position in which the front to back axis of the seat is disposed in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the leg rest which projects laterally outward from one side of the base and a position in which said axis of the seat is transverse to said longitudinal axis of the leg rest in order to facilitate the seating of a person in the chair while the seat is in the latter position and then rotating the seat 90.degree. to permit the person to dispose his legs upon the leg rest which preferably is stationary relative to the base of the chair.
