Abstract: The movement analysis becomes easy and the control of all the movement systems is realized better through the initialization of the multiple coordinate systems. The fundamental body portion 6 is coupled to a foot portion 5 through a first joint portion 7, a first link 3, a second joint portion 8, a second link 4, and a third joint portion 9. The rigidity of the first link 3 is lower than that of the fundamental body portion 6, and the rigidity of the second link 4 is lower than that of the second link 4. It is possible to position the second link 4 and the foot portion 5 in a high precision to a mechanical origin which is predetermined to the fundamental body portion, for the reason of the rigidity relation.  Handle portions 13 are coupled in two positions to the fundamental body portion 6. When the whole posture is initialized based on the mechanical origin, the center of gravity G of the whole robot is located between two vertical planes containing the two positions. In the initialization, a first joint portion 7, a second joint portion 8, and a third joint portion 9 are located between the two vertical planes. Thus, because the whole balance is taken, the origin adjustment is easy.

Title: Dual adhesive application for laminating elastic webs
Inventor: STUCZYNSKI RUSSELL P
IPC: B32B37/14
Filed: 2002-04-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a laminated, gathered, elastic web. The method includes the steps of feeding a first substrate in a machine direction, feeding a second substrate aligned with the first substra te in the machine direction, and feeding an array of elastomeric strand materia l between the first and second substrates in such a manner that the elastomeri c strand material is stretched in the machine direction and aligned with the first and second substrates. A hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive, such as a styrene-isoprene-styrene based adhesive, is applied to the other substrate, and a curable adhesive, such as a plyurethane based adhesive, is applied to the other substrate. Thereafter, the two substrates and the elastomeric stra nd material are compressed to form a laminate elastic web while maintaining the elastomeric strand material in its stretched state. Machine direction tensio n is maintained on the laminate until the hot melt adhesive cools and bonds th e layer together. Thereafter, the machine direction tension is released to permit the elastic web to contract to form a gathered elastic web.

Patent CA-2449738-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLEN JOHN J
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2002-06-07
Abstract: Systems and methods for the sampling of bodily fluid from an incision in the skin utilize a capillary passageway (18) having a first, upstream portion (39) and a second, downstream portion (41), with the downstream portion (41) having a higher capillary affinity for the bodily fluid than the upstream portion (39). Therefor, when the first portion (39) is filled and the fluid contacts the second portion (41), the fluid is drawn up into the second portion (41) due to the greater capillary affinity. The capillary affinities are controlled by the cross-sectional area of the passageway (18), the use of different materials or coatings to define the passageway, the treatment of the interior wall of the passageway, the use of wicking materials, and the like. The capillary sampling systems and methods are optionally combined with incising, expressing and/or testing systems, particularly in a single, integrated device.

Title: An adaptive linearization technique for communication building block
Inventor: PARK JOONBAE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a linearization apparatus and method.  Preferred embodiments according to the present invention can combine an auxiliary non-linear block (300) to a functional block of a system to increase linearity of an output signal (520) of the system such as a communication system. System overhead due to the non-linear auxiliary block can be small because of circuit structure, cost and low consumption. Further, the non-linear auxiliary block can be designed so that no feedback path is required.  Further preferred embodiments can use a feedback path without loss of stability by using a cancellation apparatus or process based on an averaging detection of the output signal. For example, a feedback loop can detect power leakage in a sideband caused by non-linearities of the communication system.
