Title: A method and an arrangement for locating and picking up objects from a carrier
Inventor: REYIER ANDERS
IPC: G06V20/64
Filed: 2006-10-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locating and picking up objects (2) that are placed on a carrier (1). A scanning operation is performed over the carrier. The scanning is performed by a line laser scanner (8). The result of the scanning is used to generate a 5 virtual surface (18) that represents the area that has been scanned. The virtual surface is compared to a pre-defined virtual object (15) corresponding to an object (2) to be picked from the carrier (1). Thereby, a part of the virtual surface (18) that matches the pre-defined virtual object is identified. A robot arm (5) is then caused to move to a location corresponding to the identified part of the virtual surface and pick up an object from the 10 carrier (1) at this location.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing mineral fibers includes rotating an orificed spinner (12) and supplying molten mineral material to the spinner to centrifuge streams (26) of molten mineral material. A downward annular flow of attenuating gases is directed to attenuate the streams of molten mineral material into mineral fibers (28). A mixture of combustion air and combustion gas is supplied to an annular burner (14) positioned around the spinner. Heat from the annular burner is directed toward the spinner and the streams of molten mineral material to heat the spinner and assist in attenuating the streams of molten mineral material into mineral fibers. A pressure sensor (54) senses the pressure of the combustion air prior to the introduction of the combustion air to the burner. The pressure of the combustion air is controlled in response to the sensed pressure to maintain the pressure of the combustion air at a specific pressure. Alternatively the temperature of the combustion air befor the burner is sensed and controlled, or the combustion air is dried prior to introduction to the burner.

Title: Seating system
Inventor: ERIKSSON STEFAN H-E
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2008-11-10
Abstract: A seating system has a tiltable seat is coupled to a base, which can be coupled to or part of a motor vehicle or other device. The seat can include a seat bracket coupled to the base by a seat tilt pivot configured to permit limited tilting of the seat relative to the base. The seat also can include a footrest mounted to the seat bracket, a horizontal seat cushion and/or a back support coupled to the seat bracket. The seat is configured to maintain a user's body in a fixed position during tilting throughout the seat's range of tilt angles. A seat adjustment mechanism allows angular adjustment of the seat relative to the base and locks the seat at a fixed tilt angle relative to the base. In some embodiments the seat tilt pivot, that is the axis about which the seat tilts relative to the base, is located approximately vertically below the center of gravity of a loaded seat, thus reducing the force needed to tilt a loaded seat. By fixing or maintaining the seat tilt pivot nearly or directly vertically beneath the load being pivoted, the loaded seat center of gravity (whether using a static seat tilt pivot or a translating seat tilt pivot), the amount of force needed to control seat tilting through a full range of tilt angles can be limited to forces that a typical user can exert with one or two hands. The seat tilt pivot can be a static seat tilt pivot, where the center of gravity moves in a range of positions above the static seat tilt pivot point, or a translating seat tilt pivot, where the seat tilt pivot point moves generally in concert with the loaded seat center of gravity when a user is seated normally on the seat.

Title: A process for making a wax globe candle
Inventor: NELSON WILLIAM E
IPC: C11C5/00
Filed: 2008-11-27
Abstract: This invention comprises a methodology for making globe candles that have qualities and features unlike common candles found today. This globe candle can be made to have bright colorful decorative patterns and designs on its outer surface, or pure white for utility purposes. One of the exciting aspects of this globe candle is that it has multiple uses other than providing light. It can be used as a wax flotation device that would act similar to an inflated beach ball and could prevent someone from drowning, or could act as a distress signal at night.     Situations occur when people find themselves stranded in a broken down or stalled car in sub zero temperatures. This globe candle can be used to prevent hands from freezing by placing the hands over the opening at the top of globe and absorbing the trapped heat. The heat from this candle will also increase the temperature within a closed automobile by several degrees. It has been demonstrated that a strong draft or wind has little affect to the burning function or reflecting light of the globe candle. One of the most important aspects of this globe candle is that it has a sealed-in safety features at the base of the globe to prevent a fire.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a handover of servicing a mobile terminal from a currently serving base station to another base station in a cellular network, comprising the following steps. The currently serving base transmits information associated with the mobile terminal to one or more of its neighboring base stations. The neighboring station(s) respond by providing the serving base station with information related to the quality at which they are able to receive communications from the mobile terminal. Based on the responses received from the neighboring base stations, the serving base station selects which of its neighboring base stations will be the target base station for the mobile terminal. Upon selecting the target base station, a handover procedure is carried out, following which, the mobile terminal will receive and transmit communications via that target base station.
