Title: Robotic arm
Inventor: AZEVEDO THIAGO
IPC: B25J18/04
Filed: 2013-11-04
Abstract: A linear actuation mechanism for robots and related devices, comprising a one degree of freedom rotating joint which is moveable between a first and a second position with at least one cord 136, 138 or string attached to said one degree of freedom rotating joint. A means for rotating the cord may be an electric motor or other similar actuator. A spring assembly 152 is arranged so as to counterbalance the load acting on the rotating joint.

Inventor: ALFONSO MARTÍNEZ DE LA TORRE
IPC: G06F12/0846
Filed: 2016-02-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a level-'n' cache in which when a data access request identifying an address of a data block to be accessed is received, the cache interrogates an address cache of the level-'n' cache to determine whether a cache hit occurs within the address cache for the received address. The address cache stores the address portions for a sub-set of data blocks stored in a main cache of the level-'n' cache. The address cache may be on-chip and the main cache off-chip. When a cache miss occurs in the address cache, the main cache is checked for the address ie if there is a hit in the main cache. When a cache hit occurs in the main cache then the entry in the address cache is updated with the address portion associated the data access request together with an indication of a set and a way within the main cache where the data block can be accessed.
