Patent CA-2441076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULDEN JARL
IPC: B60W60/00
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: The present invention discloses a position determination device (50) for an autonomous apparatus (1). The position determination device (50) comprises means (54) for dividing up driving of the autonomous apparatus (1), based on rotation velocities of the driving wheels (17, 18), into different driving modes (40a-40u), in which the actual track width (30) of the apparatus (1) is substantially constant. The device (50) further comprises calibration means for calculating the actual track width (30) for each one of the driving modes (40a-40u). The calibration means performs a calculation method, in which the apparatus (1) is aligned in an initial direction and turns in one of the driving modes (40a-40u). The actual total turning angle of the apparatus (1) is measured together with the wheel rotations of the driving wheels (17, 18).  Calculation of the actual track width (30) is performed on the basis of this actual total turning angle and the wheel rotations.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-invasive determination of blood analytes, such as glucose, through NIR spectroscopy utilize optical properties of tissue as reflected in key spectroscopic features to improve measurement accuracy and precision. Physiological conditions such as changes in water distribution among tissue compartments lead to complex alterations in the measured absorbance spectrum of skin and reflect a modification in the effective pathlength of light, leading to a biased noninvasive glucose measurement.  Changes (106) in the optical properties of tissue are detected by identifying key features responsive to physiological variations. Conditions (107) not conducive to non-invasive measurement of glucose are detected. Non-invasive glucose measurements that are biased by physiological changes in tissue are compensated (103). In an alternate embodiment, glucose is measured indirectly based on natural physiological response of tissue to glucose concentration. A  spectroscopic device capable of such measurements is provided.

Inventor: WEGENER KONRAD
IPC: A41H43/00
Filed: 2004-01-15
Abstract: In order to generate wrinkle-free, dense stacks of object sections, for example sections of material for laser cutting, rollers (16, 17) that are arranged in a V and are supported on the gripper carriage (8) so as to be able to rotate, are rolled across a previously formed stack (4) with the gripper carriage (8) that draws off a section of material.  The rollers (16,17) have a coating that is as flexible as possible, so that it can even out irregularities (blade marks) on the cutting table (3). For the remainder, the coating is such that it has a high coefficient of friction with the material. The uppermost layer of the stack is drawn outward by the action of the rollers (16, 17) and is stretched laterally. In addition, the stack (4) is compacted.
