Patent CA-2697473-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAY ROBERT L
IPC: B25J9/16
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: A robotic arm and control system includes a robotic arm which moves in response to one or more command signals.  One or more "active" fiducials are located on the arm, each of which emits its own light. A 3D camera having an associated f ield-of-view is positioned such that at least one fiducial and a target object to be manipulated are in the FOV. To determine their spatial positions, the arm fiducials are activated and the target object is preferably illuminated with a scanning laser; the camera produces output signals which vary with the spatial locations of the fiducials and target object. A controller receives the output signals and uses the spatial position information as feedback to continuously guide the arm towards the target object. Multiple active fiducials may be employed, each having respective characteristics with which they can be differentiated.

Title: Automatic sample testing machine
Inventor: FANNING MARK JOSEPH
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1997-02-12
Abstract: An automatic sample testing machine for testing samples stored in test cards.  The machine has a test sample positioning system for moving a tray containing a plurality of test sample cards and fluid receptacles among various stations in the machine. The machine has a diluting station for adding a predetermined quantity of diluent to the receptacles as needed. A pipetting station transfers fluid from one receptacle to another. A  vacuum station is provided having a vacuum chamber moveable relative to the tray between upper and lower positions. The chamber cooperates with the tray to make a sealing engagement with the top surface of the tray when it is lowered to the lower position. A vacuum generator supplies vacuum to the chamber. When the vacuum is released from the chamber, the fluid samples are loaded into the cards from the receptacles. The test sample positioning system moves the tray to a cutting and sealing station and then to an incubation station and loads the cards one at a time into a carousel within the incubation station. A test card transport station transports the test cards from the incubation station to an optical reading station, where optical measurements (e.g., transmittance and/or fluorescence optical testing) is conducted on the wells of the card. When the card has been read, it is either moved back to the incubation station for additional incubation and reading or transferred to a stacking card disposal system when the reading is complete.

IPC: H04B10/06
Filed: 2010-06-04
Abstract: An optical receiver includes a photodetector for detecting incoming optical data signals and an amplifier for providing signal gain and current to voltage conversion.  The detection signal generated by the photodetector can include a distortion component caused by an operating characteristic of the photodetector. A signal compensating circuit can reconstruct the received optical data signal by effectively canceling the distortion component. For this purpose, the signal compensating circuit can include a decision feedback equalizer implemented using at least one feedback filter matched to the operating characteristic of the photodetector causing the signal distortion so as to reproduce the distortion component for cancellation. Use of a control module can also configure the optical receiver in real time to account for other operating and environmental conditions of the optical receiver. Data rates in excess of 5Gbps can be realized in monolithic CMOS  photodetectors when the signal compensating circuit is properly matched.

Title: Dielectric isolators
Inventor: BREAY CLIFTON P
IPC: B64D45/02
Filed: 2009-07-01
Abstract: The present application is directed to dielectric isolators for use in aircraft fuel systems to control lightning induced current and allow dissipation of electrostatic charge. The dielectric isolators are configured to have a high enough impedance to limit lightning currents to low levels, but low enough impedance to allow electrostatic charge to dissipate without allowing buildup. Although the dielectric isolators may develop a potential difference across the dielectric length due to the effects of lightning currents and its inherent impedance, they are configured to withstand these induced voltages without dielectric breakdown or performance degradation. In one embodiment, the dielectric isolator (100) includes a tube (110) constructed of a composition including a thermoplastic organic polymer (e.g., PEEK) and carbon nanotubes, and a pair of couplings (120a, b) attached to opposing ends of the tube (100). The dielectric isolator (100) is capable of exhibiting an electrical resistance from about 10 5 .OMEGA. to 10 8 .OMEGA. at an applied potential of greater than 500 volts DC when measured from one coupling (120a) to the other coupling (120b).
