A proctoring system that includes a communication device coupled to a remote station. The remote station has a visual display that displays first information relating to an action that causes an effect on an object, and simultaneously displays second information relating to the effect on the object. The remote station includes at least one input device that allows a communication to be transmitted by an operator to the communication device. By way of example, during the deployment of a heart stent, a specialist doctor may remotely view real-time fluoroscopy imagery and patient hemodynamics. The specialist can remotely proctor medical personnel on the proper orientation and timing requirements for installing the stent.

Telerobotic system with a dual application screen presentation

A tele-presence system that includes a cart. The cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera. The system also includes a remote station that is coupled to the robot face and the overhead camera. The remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The remote station can display video images captured by the robot camera and/or overhead camera. By way of example, the cart can be used in an operating room, wherein the overhead camera can be placed in a sterile field and the robot face can be used in a non-sterile field. The user at the remote station can conduct a teleconference through the robot face and also obtain a view of a medical procedure through the overhead camera.

Remote presence system including a cart that supports a robot face and an overhead camera

The invention includes compositions and methods for improving exercise performance or improving recovery of muscle tissue after exercise performance. One method includes administering a composition of a plant-derived nitrate and a cocoa-derived product daily and before exercise. The synergistic combination of nitrate and cocoa polyphenols acts to improve recovery from a strenuous exercise bout.

Food compositions that enhance nitric oxide mediated signalling

The invention provides methods for isolating and enhancing the levels of jasmonates from cacao plant sources. In a preferred embodiment, jasmonic acid and 12-hydroxy jasmonate sulfate are detected in various cocoa products, and the levels of these compounds can be manipulated to increase the beneficial health effects of a food product made with the cocoa products The invention includes methods to prepare edible products containing cocoa jasmonates.

Jasmonic acid compounds in cocoa products

The invention provides acidified red cocoa products and ingredients, such as acidified red cocoa bean nibs, red cocoa liquor, and red cocoa powder. The acidified cocoa products and ingredients are generally made from under-fermented or unfermented cocoa beans that are treated with an acid composition. The methods include those of making food products and ingredients where the levels cocoa antioxidants are maintained by the use of an acid treatment and the avoidance of dutching, and the food products and ingredient have a distinctive red color. Cocoa nibs, chocolate or cocoa liquor and cocoa powders having a red hue or color and having high levels of cocoa antioxidants are disclosed, as well as food products made from them.

Process for preparing red cocoa ingredients, red chocolate, and food products

The present invention is directed to a means of enhancing the cocoa flavor to a fat matrix by adding thereto about 0.3 g to about 4.0 g phenylalanine, 0.75 g to about 2.0 g leucine, and about 0.5 g to about 3.0 g reducing sugar and optionally about 0.05 g to about 0.8 g alanine for each 100 g of unroasted fat matrix and roasting the same, and to the products produced therefrom.

Process of producing cacao flavor by roasting combination of amino acids

The present invention is directed to chocolate confectionery containing roasted high oleic acid peanuts, in whole, or in part, and a process for making same.

Method for extending the shelf-life of chocolate confectionery products
