Patent CA-2541598-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARAN ZYGMUNT
IPC: F16D7/02
Filed: 2006-03-27
Abstract: The invention is an adjustable overload-sensitive, breakaway clutch interposed between a robot arm and any attached end-of-arm tool that can sense the operating load of said tool and disengage the clutch when an overload condition arises and send a signal to shut down the robot. The breakaway trip point for any given robotic task is mechanically pre-determined and pre-set via an integrated, threaded adjustment cup, or springs of variable tensile strength, or shim spacers, or any combination thereof. It is the semispherical design of the adjustment cup, the spring holder, the stud member and the set-up choices inherent in the design, that permit the breakaway trip point to be set over a wide range, to a fine degree of tolerances and to be mechanically stable at high operating speeds. The design has only one home position, so when the clutch is reset after an overload condition, it cannot be mistakenly reset to an improper start point. Additionally, a variation of the present invention incorporates the tool cabling within the clutch assembly. The variation of housing the tool cables within the clutch assembly results in a clean design that reduces the operating envelope required for any tool using said clutch, thus improving tool maneuverability and increasing the life expectancy of the cables. Additionally, it renders great mechanical stability of the clutch over all operating speeds; most importantly, at high operating speeds.

Patent CA-2544732-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIFF MARK
IPC: D06Q1/02
Filed: 2004-08-31
Abstract: A textile (20) is disclosed having regions of color contrast and corresponding regions of sculptured three-dimensional surface geometry. Furthermore, one or more methods of making such a textile (20) also are disclosed. The textile (20) includes a first side (22) having first regions (23) and second regions (24a-c) in a predetermined pattern. The first and second regions (23 and 24a-c) differ in color shade values due to the etching of the textile (20), which has the effect of degrading or dissolving fiber material from the second regions (24a-c), thereby providing a three dimensional sculpted geometry and a color contrast between etched and non-etched areas. Screen printing is applied using an extremely strong acidic or alkali composition paste upon the textile (20), followed by heating. Then, a washing step and a drying step results in a product having a color shade difference between etched areas and non-etched areas having differing .DELTA.L* color shade values using L*a*b* color space measurement techniques.
