Patent EP-0207625-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ALLAN DONALD RUSSELL
IPC: B25J9/16
Filed: 1986-05-29
Abstract: An end effector comprises a force sensor cooperating with an output flange at the wrist of a robot arm. The force sensor includes a cylinder (24) mounted in the robot arm (2) having a piston (16) whose outer end is attached to the output flange (15) of the arm at its outer end; its inner end comprising one side of a pressure chamber (20) pressurized to a known level. The piston is mounted on bushings (26) for sliding linear movement within the sleeve of the piston along the axis of vertical movement of the arm, but levers or other mechanisms may be used to provide the required motion. The pressure in the chamber is calibrated to a known level of pressure which is to be applied to the part being worked by the end effector. The piston carries a piston encoder; when the pressure within the pressure chamber is exceeded, movement of the position encoder is detected and signalled to a position controlling computer. Depending on the choice of the operator, the pressure may increase or the movement of the end effector may be stopped, eliminating possible damage to the part or robot. 
     An ear (36) is provided on one side of the end effector extending to be held in place between two rollers (40,42) mounted on the robot arm or quill. These rollers may be tightened against the end of the ear, so that the ear may move freely vertically along the axis of movement of the end effector, while effectively bracing the end effector so that with rotation of the robot quill, the force of rotation of the quill is accurately and positively transmitted to the end effector.   
     The position encoder comprises a linear strip (32) mounted to pass between the phototransistor (52) and light (54) of a photodetector. Slotting of the linear strip will provide a quadrature data output which indicates both direction and speed of movement of the shaft carrying the strip.

Abstract: A dry sprinkler system has a compressed gas pipe (27) connected to supply a pilot of a normally open water valve (23) and for charging a main dry sprinkler pipe (3). The valve (23) is interposed between a water a supply pipe (2) and the sprinkler pipe (3). The pilot activates the valve (23) in response to gas pressure to a closed position in which water pressure helps to maintain the valve (23) closed. A pressure operated switch means (35) reacts to low pressure in the pipes (3) at a level between the closing pressure and a low pressure at which the pilot allows the valve (23) to open in the event of a fire.

Abstract: An automatic color temperature adjusting system for a television receiver which is capable of eliminating an unstable picture condition during the turn on transition period. The automatic color temperature adjusting system has a gain control circuit (l0 R -20 R , l0 G -20 G , l0 B -20 B , 40) associated with a feedback loop for controlling the amplifier characteristics of an amplifier (7R, 7G, 7B) in each color channel. The gain control circuit (l0 R -20 R , l0 G -20 G , l0 B -20 B , 40) is responsive to the turning on of the power supply to lower the gain of each amplifier (7R, 7G, 7B) to a given level. The gain control circuit (l0 R -20 R , l0 G -20 G , l0 B -20 B , 40) adjusts the gain of the amplifier (7R, 7G, 7B) to gradually increase the gain to reach a normal gain level after a given period of time.

Abstract: A roadside antenna system permitting the transmission of data to a vehicular navigation system and providing for the recalibration of positional data carried by the navigation system includes an antenna structure and transmitter system which permits the data transmission signal to be broadcast in a wide pattern. Meanwhile, the signal that provides for positional recalibration is broadcast in a high directivity signal or split beam. The positional accuracy of the navigator system is improved by performing the positional calibration only when intercepting the narrow beam pattern. Data transmission and reception can be carried out within a larger effective reception area without affecting the positional accuracy.

Abstract: A machine for the multi-colour silk-screen printing of cylindrical containers in general, comprises a loading station (5), at least two printing stations (3) and a discharge station (6) for the containers (4), these stations being angularly equidistant on a horizontal circular path, along which a like number of angularly equidistant radial mandrels (34, 36) move stepwise. 
     A gear (8) coaxial to the machine central vertical axis is constantly engaged in corresponding gears associated with said mandrels (34, 36) and printing stations (3). The gear (8) is rotated with reciprocating motion of any amplitude, to drive the mandrels (34, 36) through any arc, which can also be greater than 360°. If the return movement of the gear (8) is completed during transfer of the mandrels (34, 36) berween one station and another, the mandrels will always have undergone one complete revolution about themselves, so that they become repositioned in their exact starting position. As a particular case, the gear (8) is rotated with reciprocating motion of angular amplitude equal to that by which the mandrels are distributed, so that in one direction the mandrel follows their movement along the circular path so maintaining them stationary with respect to their axis, whereas in the opposite direction it causes them to rotate about their axis, with simultaneous concordant sliding of the screens (31) which have been lowered against the containers (4).

Abstract: A polymerization process to produce polyol polymer useful in the formulation of thermoset coatings, including the polymer so produced, is disclosed. The polymers are characterized as having at least one main chain and a plurality of side chains attached thereto. The polymerization process comprises combining in a solvent, at an elevated temperature and for a predetermined period of time, an addition-polymerizable monomer (that is also a free-radical initiator) together with an ethylenically-unsaturated monomer (having a nucleophilic or an electrophilic moiety), to initiate addition copolymerization of the addition-polymerizable monomer with the ethylenically-unsaturated monomer, whereby propagation of the reaction forms the main chain of the polymer. Meanwhile, also combined in the solvent is a polymerizable, carbonyl carbon-containing, ringed molecule -- such as a lactone -- which, at the elevated temperature, has a ring portion that opens to initiate ionic-copolymerization (of the now-opened ring molecule) with the nucleophilic-containing or electrophilic-containing moiety, whereby propagation of this reaction forms the side chains of the polyol polymer. Termination of the addition-copolymerization and ionic-copolymerization reactions is effected when the polyol polymer attains a predetermined number-average and/or weight-average molecular weight. The polymerization process is characterized in that each of the main-chain and side-chain propagations occurs substantially simultaneously, relative to the other, without using a catalyst.
