Inventor: HIROSE MASATO
IPC: B25J18/00
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: Provided is an arm structure for a robot which can
favourably carry out jobs which are typically performed
by humans. By determining the length (L) of the arm (4)
and the height (H o ) of the axis of rotation (C) of the
arm in such a manner that a range of rotational motion
of the arm in accessing the region can be covered by a
range in which the fore-and-aft distance to the tip of
the arm can be linearly approximated, even though the
trajectory of the arm (4) is approximated by a line
(PQ), the error (D) in the distance to the object can be
limited within a prescribed range, and the practicality
and economy of computation can be achieved at the same
time.

Abstract: A switched reluctance drive is supplied from a power source and has a DC link
capacitor. The phases of the machine are controlled by a current chopping
controller which, during phase conduction overlap, controls the initiation of
chopping in a second phase so as to minimise the current drawn from the
capacitor, thereby allowing a reduction in the capacitor rating.

Abstract: A CAM device having a plurality of CAM blocks is partitioned into a number of individually searchable partitions, where each partition may include one or more CAM blocks of the CAM device. In one embodiment, each CAM block is connected to a block select circuit that stores a class code indicating what class or type of data is stored in the block. The same class code may be stored in any number of block select circuits to define a partition as including the corresponding number of CAM blocks. During compare operations between a comparand word and data stored in the CAM device, a search code provided to the block select circuits is compared to the class codes to selectively enable or disable the CAM blocks for the compare operation. In some embodiments, the block select circuits may be used to disable defective CAM blocks. In such embodiments, address translation logic is used to translate addresses in defective CAM blocks to addresses in non-defective CAM blocks, and a main priority encoder is used to dynamically assign priority between the CAM blocks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems (100) for densifying liquids, specifically the densification of cryogenic propellants. A preferred system of the present invention subcools and densifies liquid propellants by utilizing a countercurrent gas or liquid flow. The countercurrent flow preferably utilizes a gas having a lower boiling point than the propellants. A packed tower may then be used, at or above atmospheric pressure, to introduce the countercurrent flow to the propellant. This methodology avoids the costs and problems associated with subatmospheric operation. A preferred embodiment is directed toward the densification of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Systems and methods of the present invention may also be used to densify other liquids in similar fashion.

receiving space of the receptacle contact (56). In each case, the spaced walls (12, 14) are
joined by a bridging structure (42, 44) that unites the walls. The plug and receptacle
contacts (10, 48) are retained in the respective housings by engagement of opposed
lateral edge portions of the contacts with the housings in a manner to enhance heat
dissipation by convection by maintaining substantial portions of the contacts (10, 48)
spaced from the housing walls and from each other. The bridging structure (42, 44)
may include a retention element for engaging respective connector housings (402) to
retain the contact in the housings. The open structure of both the receptacle and plug
contacts (48, 10) enhances heat dissipation and allows flexibility in achieving desired
contact normal forces. The contact construction is especially useful for electronic
power connectors. The electronic power connectors can also be modified to
accommodate connections for an external AC power supply. The connector housing
(402) incorporating the AC power connection capability can accommodate different

Abstract: A head position control system for a dual stage
actuation disk drive system. A feedback system is
provided for modifying a primary and a secondary input
command signal to produce primary and secondary error
signals. A controller receives the primary error signal
and transmits primary actuator arm positioning
information to the primary actuator. A secondary
controller receives the secondary error signal and
transmits secondary actuator arm positioning information
to the secondary actuator. The feedback system creates a
position error signal (PES) using information from servo
wedges and runout information and the PES is used to
produce the secondary error signal. The feedback system
produces a reconstructed error signal including angular
position information for the primary actuator arm by
processing a back electromotive force signal from the
primary actuator. The primary error signal is produced
by modifying the primary input signal with the
reconstructed error signal.
