Patent EP-0338673-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BJORNSON TORLIEF OVE
IPC: B25J17/02
Filed: 1989-03-14
Abstract: A robot gripper having a housing (12) pivotally mountable to an end of a robot arm (16). The housing encloses a first motor (52) for pivoting the housing about a pivot joint (18, 49), and a second motor (59) operating a rack-and-pinion gear (66-70) arrangement for extending and retracting fingers (32-36). Two opposed groups of fingers are provided for grasping objects, each group attached to a rack on opposite sides of a pinion gear (66). Turning the pinion gear causes the fingers to move toward or away from one another. The motors which may operate independently of the robot arm, may be either servo or stepper motors. The gripper provides additional degrees of freedom from that of the robot arm, enabling it to work with many kinds of robot arms.

IPC: A47L9/28
Filed: 1989-10-09
Abstract: A suction cleaner has a 'power boost' control, enabling the user to cause the suction motor (16) to operate at a power output in excess of its rated power output for a short period. On release of the control, the motor (16) returns to its original power. Boost timing means time the cumulative period of boosted power output, and inhibits boosted operation of the motor once the cumulative period has exceeded a limit value. The cumulative period is reset to zero if the boost control is not used during a fixed recovery period. In this way, the 'power boost' facility may be used several times in rapid succession, provided that the total boosted period does not exceed the limit value.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for place value assignment for sortable keys in a National Language Support (NLS) data processing system. Each sortable key within the data processing system is assigned an alphabetic key value (24), a diacritic key value (26), a case key value (28) and a special character key value (30). After building these key values for each key within the system, a place value may be assigned to each unique character which is based upon these four values. In one embodiment of the present invention, each character or key has a fixed length place value data frame associated therewith, with selected subsets of that data frame associated with each key value. This embodiment may require selected key values to be "padded" to fully occupy the designated subset within the fixed length place value data frame; however, the increased memory requirement which this approach requires will be offset by the ease of diagnosis and manipulation which this approach permits.
