Title: Systems and methods that facilitate motion control through coordinate system transformations
Inventor: BHATT JATIN P
IPC: B25J9/16
Filed: 2005-06-30
Abstract: The subject invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate motion between different coordinate systems in an industrial control environment. The systems and methods accept data in one coordinate system and transform the data to a different coordinate system. Suitable transformations include instructions that transform between Cartesian, pre-defined non-Cartesian, and user-defined non-Cartesian coordinate systems, including transformations between a non-Cartesian coordinate system to another non-Cartesian coordinate system. Such transformations can be programmed in essentially any industrial control language and can be seamlessly integrated with the control environment. The systems and methods can be utilized to generate a motion instruction that includes, among other information, source and target coordinate systems and the transformation between them. The subject invention provides for connecting various systems together through respective motion instructions, wherein a motion of a source system is mapped to a coordinate system of a target system and the target system is moved accordingly.

Abstract: Upper and lower thrust bearing faces and a peripheral
radial bearing face are formed to surround peripheral and end
portions of a disk provided to a rotating shaft supported by
a fluid bearing. Pressurized fluid is supplied to the respective
bearing faces from first to third fluid passages to thereby form
fluid bearing faces. In order to rotate the rotating shaft,
the pressurized fluid is supplied to all the passages to keep
the rotating shaft and the disk from contact with a bearing member.
In order to brake the rotating shaft, fluid supply to the second
passage is interrupted. Thus, the rotating shaft is moved down
by pressure on the bearing face on the first passage side and,
as a result, the brake member comes in contact with the static
portion to apply the brakes.

Abstract: A compression system comprises a multicylinder rotary compressor being configured to be used by switching of a first operation mode in which both rotary compression elements (32,34) perform a compression work and a the second operation mode in which the only first rotary compression element (32) substantially performs the compression work. When the second operation mode is switched to the first operation mode, discharge-side pressures of both the rotary compression elements (32,34) are applied as a back pressure of the second vane (52), and thereafter an intermediate pressure is applied which is between suction-side and discharge-side pressures of both the rotary compression elements. When the first operation mode is switched to the second operation mode, a valve device (106) interrupts flowing of a refrigerant into a second cylinder (40), and thereafter suction-side pressures of both the rotary compression elements (32,34) are applied as the back pressure of the second vane (52).

IPC: A61B17/072

Abstract: A surgical instrument particularly suited to endoscopic use articulates an end effector by including an articulation mechanism in an elongate shaft that incorporates an electrically actuated polymer (EAP) articulation locking mechanism actuator. Thereby, additional options for articulation become feasible, especially those that are actively powered and would otherwise dissipate heat and power if required to maintain position. Alternatively, a mechanically actuated articulation mechanism may be designed with reduced strength, and thus size, since the EAP articulation lock mechanism assists in preventing back driving after articulation. Versions of a. EAP articulation locking mechanism lock a pivoting articulation joint and others lock a flexible neck articulation joint.
Patent EP-1741023-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS JOHN J JR
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-02-27
Abstract: Data is protected using locks, with the protected data sometimes being included in the locking messages. For example, the lock manager receives lock requests from each of the requesters, and selectively grants the lock requests. The protected data is typically communicated in the locking messages when the lock is highly contested, or at least two request for access to the data are pending. The lock manager initiates the sequence by indicating in a grant message to a requester to include the protected data in its release message. The lock manager then copies this data received in the release message to its grant message to the next requestor. If no other requesters are waiting, the grant message includes an indication not to send the protected data, and thus the requestor typically stores this protected data to storage so it can be accessed in the future.

Abstract: The invention is related to a device, method and image processing apparatus for creating an output image on basis of an input image by means of interpolation of pixel values of the input image. The invention proposes an edge dependent interpolation scheme in which match errors for sets of pixels in different neighbourhoods in respective orientation of a particular pixel to be interpolated (10) are first computed. Comparison of subsets(400, 410, 420) of pixel values are used in a function for computation of match errors. A match error and corresponding orientation are selected and the pixels in the selected orientation are used in the interpolation of a particular pixel.

Filed: 2006-02-22
Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides for adjusting a local oscillator frequency in a radio frequency (RF) receiver when a residual DC offset remains after a coarse frequency offset adjustment is performed. The fine adjustment may be necessary because of the synchronization required with a PSK- modulated portion of a Bluetooth packet. A residual phase shift detected in a sync sequence portion of the Bluetooth packet may be utilized to determine a residual or fine frequency adjustment. This approach may allow an RF receiver to operate, in some instances, without the need for an equalizer. In this regard, the power consumed by the RF receiver or the overall may be reduced.

In response to an output ground-fault condition wherein at least one output terminal (502,504,506,508) of the ballast (20) is shorted to earth ground, the microcontroller (600) directs the DC-to-DC converter (300) to remain in a non-operating mode wherein the output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter (600) is substantially zero, thereby protecting the inverter (400) from damage. Preferably, the microcontroller (600) monitors a voltage across a DC blocking capacitor (530) within the output circuit (500) prior to startup of the DC-to-DC converter (300) in order to determine if an output ground-fault condition is present.
