Abstract: A mobile unit, such as a robot (12) for example, and a method of controlling a mobile
unit are presented. The mobile unit has means of locomotion and is capable of acquiring
and recognizing speech signals. If, for example due to its distance from a user
(24) or due to sources of acoustic interference (20,22), the position of the mobile
unit (12) is of suitable to ensure that spoken commands from the user (24) will
be transmitted or recognized to an adequate standard of quality, then at 1 east
one destination location (28) is determined at which it is likely t hat the quality
of transmission or recognition will be better. The mobile unit (12 is then moved
to a destination position (28).The mobile unit (12) may determine the prospective
quality of transmission for speech signals from a user constantly in this case.
Similarly, the quality of recognition may be determined only after a speech signal
has been received and recognized. If the quality of recognition or prospective
quality of transmission is below a preset threshold, then destination positions
(28) are determined for the movement of the mobile unit (12).In one embodiment
however, the movement of the mobile unit (12) may be abandoned if the burden determined
for the movement to the destination location (28) is too high. When this is the
case a message is passed to the user (24).

Abstract: A fluxer applies powdered flux to an object. The fluxer includes an enclosure that defines a chamber where the object is fluxed. The enclosure includes an inlet for receiving the object into the chamber prior to application of the flux and an outlet for discharging the object from the chamber after the flux has been applied. A conveyor extends through the enclosure for traversing the object into and out of the chamber. The fluxer also includes a hopper for storing the flux and an applicator in fluid communication with the hopper for applying the flux to the object. A flux recovery system is in fluid communication with the chamber to introduce and maintain a negative pressure within the chamber. As a result, excess flux is retained within the enclosure. This excess flux can then be recovered and recycled to the hopper.

Abstract: A blister fabric (740) of a knit or woven construction may be needle punched to produce internal connections of filaments or fibers (741, 746) from yarns extending into, and/or between, the yarns of an adjacent layer. Interconnections of fibers among separate layers are produced by needles which enter a first layer and then carry fibers from the first layer to a second adjacent layer within the blister of the fabric. Such interconnected fibers which bridge or span multiple layers in the fabric serve to strengthen the blister fabric, making the fabric more resistant to abrasive forces.

Abstract: An electrosurgical generator for supplying RF power to an electrosurgical instrument for cutting or vaporising tissue has an RF output stage (42) with an RF power bridge (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), a pair of output lines (74) and a series-resonant output network (48). The output impedance of the output stage (42) at the output lines (74) is less than 200/P ohms, where P is the maximum continuous RF output power of the generator. The generator offers improved cutting and vaporising performance, especially in relation to the reliability with which an arc can be struck when presented with an initial low impedance load. Overloading of the output stage is prevented by rapidly operating protection circuitry responsive to a predetermined electrical condition such as a substantial short-circuit across the output lines. The output stage is capable of maintaining output pulses at least 1kW peak by supplying the power bridge from a large reservoir capacitor (60) which stores energy in excess of 5 joules. Pulsing is dynamically variable in response to load conditions by controlling the maximum energy per pulse in response to the reservoir capacitor voltage.
