The position data includes first data capable of identifying the indoor transmitter, and second data indicative of the installation location of the indoor transmitter. The generation unit is operable to generate, as the second positioning signal, a first phase signal having the first data after being subjected to modulation, and a second phase signal having the second data after being subjected to modulation. A clock of the indoor transmitter is independent from a clock of each of the satellites. The position information-deriving unit is operable, when the second positioning signal transmitted by the indoor transmitter which is one of a plurality of indoor transmitters, is received, to acquire the position data from the signal obtained by the demodulation, and, (b) when a plurality of the first positioning signals are received, to calculate the position information based on respective spread spectrum signals of the plurality of received first positioning signals. The operations (a) and (b) above are switched independently by determining PRN-IDs of the first and second positioning signals.

Patent NZ-734806-A (NZ)
Title: Robotic arm and preparation cup system
Inventor: GODFREY ROBERT
IPC: B25J15/06
Filed: 2017-08-21
Abstract: Robotics are used in various industries to increase efficiencies. When using robotics in the dairy industry, it can be advantageous to position the laser sensor so that it scans the area immediately above the preparation cup or milking cup when the cup is coupled to the robotic arm. In this manner, the laser can scan the area immediately above the preparation cup or milking cup as the robotic arm is moving toward the dairy livestock udder to determine if a teat is present in that area. One drawback of such a configuration is that when the laser is positioned on top of the robotic arm, and the robotic arm moves toward the dairy livestock udder, the sensor is likely to collide with the livestock udder or other parts of the livestock’s body. This can startle or injure the livestock. In some instances, the livestock may jolt and hit the robotic arm causing the preparation or milking cup to detach from the robotic arm. The livestock’s movement may also cause the sensor to incorrectly detect that a teat is present at a certain location when, in fact, the livestock’s movement has caused the teat to move to a different location. This can be highly inefficient as a user or the robotic arm may need to find a way to reattach the preparation or milking cup to the robotic arm or relocate the dairy livestock’s teat and restart the entire teat preparation or milking process again. The present invention is a system comprising a robotic arm, first and second grabbers, a sensor, and a preparation cup. The robotic arm has a first end and a recessed portion. The first and second grabbers are coupled to the robotic arm at the first end. The sensor is positioned inside the recessed portion of the robotic arm at a first distance from the first end and at a first angle. The preparation cup is coupled to wings having a body portion, a first extended portion, and a second extended portion. The body portion is coupled to a portion of the preparation cup, the first extended portion extends in a first direction from the body portion and the second extended portion extends in a second direction from the body portion. The first extension is configured to be removably coupled to the first grabber and the second extension is configured to be removably coupled to the second grabber such that the preparation cup is positioned between the first and second grabber.
