Abstract: Width enlargement means is described, which is adapted to be attached to a joist end to adapt the latter for use with a joist hanger having a joist receiving socket with diverging side cheeks therein. When attached, the cross section shape of the end of the joist becomes trapezoidal so as to form a wedge. The inclined faces engage the diverging side cheeks of the socket thereby to provide lateral support for the joist end when fitted in the joist receiving socket. One form of enlargement means for a conventional rectangular cross section joist comprises triangular cross section fillets, which are adapted to be fitted to the opposite faces of the end of a the joist. Alternatively it may comprise a wedge shaped member having a central slot into which the end of the joist is fitted. Where the joist has an I-beam cross section, fillets are secured to opposite faces of the central web of the I-beam, or the end of the latter is fitted into a slot in a slotted wedge. Alternatively at least one metal structure is adapted to be fitted to one end of the joist, and the outer faces of the metal structure or structures are spaced by a greater distance in the region of the upper edge of the I-beam section than they are in the region of the lower edge thereof. Where the joist has an I-beam cross section the metal structure(s) may be attached to the web or the upper or lower rails, or all three. However formed the included angle between the inclined faces of the enlargement means whether formed by fillets or a wedge shaped member, or one or more metal structures, is substantially the same as, but not greater, than that between the diverging cheeks of the joist hanger socket in which the joist is to be received in use.

Abstract: The invention provides a mobile apparatus or the like capable of moving or acting by avoiding contact with an object, such as a person, while reducing the possibility of inducing a change of the behavior of the object. It is determined whether or not there is a first spatial element (Q 1 ) that satisfies a contact condition that there is a possibility of contact with a reference spatial element (Q 0 ) on a discriminant plane. The reference spatial element (Q 0 ) and the first spatial element (Q 1 ) represent current images of a robot (1) and an object (x), respectively. When it is determined that there is a first spatial element (Q 1 ) that satisfies the contact condition on the discriminant plane, a route that allows the reference spatial element (Q 0 ) to move by avoiding contact with a second spatial element (Q 2 ) is set as a new "first action plan element" on the discriminant plane.

Abstract: A robot controller having a stoppage monitoring function, by which safety of an operator is ensured without using hardware or the like for allowing/stopping the power transmission to each of a robot and a cooperating device. A CPU of the robot controller periodically monitors the position of the robot or the cooperating device based on positional information from each servomotor and the state of entering information regarding the robot or the cooperating device. Then, when entering information is initially input, the position of the servomotor of the robot or the cooperating device, to which the entering information is applied, is stored in RAM. After that, while the entering information is being input, the distance between the position stored in RAM and the current position of the servomotor is calculated. If the calculated distance is larger than an allowable moving distance, the CPU sends a command to an emergency stopping part in order to cut-off power to all servomotors of the robot and the cooperating device.
