Title: Method and apparatus for anticollision and collision protection for multiple robot system
IPC: B25J19/06
Filed: 1990-07-21
Abstract: Apparatus and method for collision detection in a multi-robot system. A "map" of the "world" is stored in memory. A collision map containing a desired robot move is created. The initial position of the desired robot is removed from the "world" map by combining the robot map and the "world" map in a logical exclusive-OR operation and thereafter combining the collision map and the "world" map in a logical exclusive-OR operation followed by combining the collision map and the "world" map in a logical "inclusive-OR" operation in a byte-by-byte manner. A collision is indicated by a difference in any bit position of the inclusive and exclusive-OR combinations. The lack of any difference indicates that the move may be made. Similar logic operations are performed to partially and ultimately totally deallocate an allocated path and for considering alternative moves or partial moves responsive to the presence of a "collision". The method is performed using a computer which may be no more sophisticated than a conventional personal computer (i.e. PC) in which calculations are capable of being performed within a millisecond, which operating speed favorably compares with the movement of a robot which requires of the order of one second.

Abstract: An electrical connector having a female contact (300,302)
that enables detection of the presence of a corresponding male
contact (204). The female contact is divided into two parts
(300,302). The two parts are electrically isolate. When a male

electrically connects the two parts (300,302) of the fmale
contact together. In a specific application, the female contact
is in a connector for an external device on a SCSI computer
bus. The first part (300) is pulled high and serves as a sense
line. The second part (302) is pulled to ground. A pin (204) in
the mating connector electrically connects the two parts
(300,302) of the female contact, pulling the sense line (304)
to ground. The external device disables internal termination of
the SCSI bus when the sense line is pulled low. In an
alternative embodiment, the external device has two SCSI
connectors, each with a two-part female contact. The external
device in the alternative embodiment disables internal
termination of the SCSI bus when both of the SCSI connectors
have mating connectors installed.

Filed: 1997-10-22
Abstract: A dual chamber pacemaker system and method is provided for adjusting AV
delay to provide for an optimal AV setting for a selected pacing application. In the
inventive system and method, the basis for determining the AV delay setting is to perform
a ventricular fusion test, wherein variations in QT interval are monitored corresponding
to variations in AV interval. Based upon the AV-QT data, the pacemaker can determine
the ventricular fusion zone where the pacemaker AV interval is substantially the same as
the intrinsic conduction interval, as well as the knee where AV intervals just shorter than
the ventricular fusion zone result in full capture. The pacemaker selects a routine for
adjusting AV interval depending upon a desired application, including the applications of
adjusting AV interval for full capture and for treatment of a HOCM patient. There is also
provided a routine for determining an appropriate AV hysteresis value for inhibiting
ventricular pacing and allowing ventricular sensing as much as possible, for patients with
intermittent AV block.
