Title: Drive system for a movable apparatus
Inventor: ONDA NOBUHIKO
IPC: B25J9/18
Filed: 1985-03-08
Abstract: The robot (1) comprises a hand (4), a force sensor (5), an X-axis base (6), a Z-axis base (7) and a Y-axis base (8). A control circuit for the robot includes a memory unit (11) for storing teaching and other data, and a microprocessor (12) which reads out the teaching data from the memory, generates a motion route command for the hand, sends motion route data to a position control unit (13), and sends open and close commands to the hand via a hand open close unit (17). The microprocessor also generates teaching data in response to hand positions detected by a hand position detection unit (14) and stores the teaching data in the memory. A position control unit (13) feeds out a plurality of pulses (V x , V y , and V,) which are converted from displacement values for each axis, in response to the motion route command sent from the microprocessor, to control the position or speed of the hand. A hand position detection unit (14) receives signals (P x , P y , and P z ) generated from the drive sources for the three axes for detecting the current position of the hand. A force control unit generates a control command based on the outputs (M. to M f ) from the force sensor, and generates follow-up displacement values (PF x , PFy, and PF z ). An arm drive unit (16) operates each drive source on the basis of displacement values from the position control unit and the follow-up displacement values from the force control unit.

Abstract: A method of forming a nitride ceramic-metal complex material without using a special bonding material. This method comprises bringing a metallic material into contact with the surface of a nitride ceramic material, heating under vacuum the nitride ceramic material so as to dissociate the surface of the nitride ceramic material into nitrogen and a precursor of the ceramic material, thereby allowing the dissociated precursor to react with the metallic material and to achieve bonding between the nitride ceramic material and the metallic material. A nitride ceramic-metal complex material produced by the above method is also proposed.

Abstract: Electrolyte is replenished in a fully assembled stack of fuel cells by depositing dilute electrolyte on tabs extending outwardly from an external vertical face of the stack. The electrolyte is absorbed into the cell components as it cascades off the tabs and down the face of the stack. When the electrodes and matrix layers of the stack are fully saturated the stack is heated and water is evaporated until the stack has an operable electrolyte volume and electrolyte concentration therein. In a preferred embodiment the tabs are extensions of the nonporous plates separating adjacent cells in the stack.

Abstract: A process for producing polyalkylene polyamines by reacting an alkylenamine compound having at least two amino groups and an alkanolamine having at least one amino group. The molecular ratio of produced noncyclic polyalkylene polyamines to produced cyclic polyalkylene polyamines is controlled as desired by controlling the pressure at which the reaction is conducted. For example, raising the pressure increases the mole ratio of noncyclics to cyclics. The reaction is conducted in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a phosphorus-containing catalyst at a temperature and pressure sufficient to form the polyalkylene polyamines. The reaction is preferably conducted in the gaseous phase.

Abstract: A metal halide arc lamp includes a quartz arc tube (1) having a pair of electrode shafts (3, 27; 5, 29).

Abstract: Containers for storing fluids, especially carbon dioxide, under pressure in which a tubular component made of a deformable material capable of at least 7% elongation before fracture is preferably closed on a top plug with a filling/ emptying device (and any end plug) by crimping the open end(s) of the component over a circumferential shoulder on the plug(s). A primary pressure relief device comprising a poppet with a piston section, a return spring and a control orifice, tolerates and ejects dirt, prevents the formation of solid phase material and vents the contents in brief spurts so as to minimise loss. Desirably, a narrow helical conduit connects the primary pressure relief device to the container interior and, by being in thermal contact with the tubular component, chills the contents during venting so as to further minimise loss. One or more secondary pressure relief devices such as bursting discs may also be incorporated to vent substantially the whole contents in the event that the primary pressure relief device fails to maintain the internal pressure below a safe predetermined level. The construction allows the fitment of alternative adaptor assemblies for various uses and lends itself to automatic assembly. The use of a heat storage substance is also disclosed.

Abstract: A menu management system providing application developers a flexible tool for building a consistent user interface. A menu data base is created and edited using a maintenance module. The menu data base is then used by a menu manager (10) to present displays to the user and accept user selections. The system provides for user selections to be indicated by menu picks, programmable function keys, or by typed commands. The menu manager maintains a list of menus that have been presented to the user and provides (24, 26, 28, 36) four ways that the user can back up through these menus. One of these four ways (26) is a command that causes the menu manager to display for the user a list previous menus, allow the user to select one from the list, and back up directly to the selected menu.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for desulfurizing gases by microbiological techniques which involve the use of chemoautotrophic bacteria of the Thiobacillus genus to convert sulfides to sulfates either as a sulfide removal process or as a process for producing biomass. More specifically, the invention involves the use of Thiobacillus denitrificans under aerobic conditions to oxidize sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide to sulfate compounds. The process may be carried out by various techniques such as in a continuous bioreactor system using an immobilization matrix. The method is particularly suited to the disposal of hydrogen sulfide which has been otherwise removed from natural gas and producing a biomass byproduct.

Abstract: The perforations in a film-faced wound dressing have been discovered to have edges which, though clearly defin­ed, lack the ability to cut the neoepithelium of a healing wound, with the result that the film affords an unexpect­edly high degree of comfort during movement of the patient-­and most particularly, when the dressing is changed. This occurs in a thin, soft, self-supporting elastomeric film, such as a polyether polyurethane (PPU) film, having less than l0% crystallinity. The film provides a degree of conformability not attained heretofore; has a softness and elastomeric quality which results in reduced shear assoc­iated with the edges of its perforations as compared with the sharp cutting edges of perforations in plastic film; has excellent release characteristics enhanced by less than 25% open area (due to perforations) which minimizes the open area into which the neoepithelium may grow.

Abstract: Positive-working photoresist elements are protected against reflection of activating radiation from the substrate by incorporating of certain butadienyl dyes in a photoresist layer, an anti-reflective layer or a planarizing layer. These dyes have superior resistance to thermal degradation or volatilization at temperatures of as high as 200°C or more. The dyes also exhibit good solubility in solvents commonly employed in processing semiconductor devices, thus permitting the dyes to be incorporated in photoresist elements in an amount sufficient to prevent resist image distortion caused by backscattered or reflected light.
