Publication number: 20190134818Abstract: A remote control station that controls a robot through a network. The remote control station transmits a robot control command that includes information to move the robot. The remote control station monitors at least one system parameter and scales the robot control command as a function of the system parameter. For example, the remote control station can monitor network latency and scale the robot control command to slow down the robot with an increase in the latency of the network. Such an approach can reduce the amount of overshoot or overcorrection by a user driving the robot.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Amante Mangaser, Jonathan Southard, Marco Pinter, John Cody Herzog, Charles Steve Jordan, Yulun Wang, James Rosenthal

Publication number: 20160324307Abstract: A paint brush cleaning assembly includes a tray that is structured to have an alternating sequence of peaks and valleys. The peaks and valleys may have a paint brush brushed against the peaks and valleys. A valve is coupled to the tray and the valve selectively restricts and allows a flow of a fluid through the valve. The valve may be fluidly coupled to a fluid source. A hose is fluidly coupled to the valve wherein the hose directs the flow of fluid onto the tray. The fluid rinses the paint brush while the paint brush is brushed against the peaks and valleys thereby facilitating the paint brush to be cleaned.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventor: Charles Steve Stanley

Patent number: 8430202Abstract: Compact, high-pressure exhaust muffling devices are disclosed. Some example muffling devices may include an inner flow conditioner including an inlet configured to convey a pressurized fluid flow into an inner flow conditioner interior. The inner flow conditioner may include a plurality of inner flow conditioner holes. The muffling device may include an exhaust can disposed substantially around the inner flow conditioner and arranged to receive the pressurized fluid flow via the inner flow conditioner holes into an exhaust can interior. The exhaust can may include a plurality of exhaust screen holes arranged to discharge the pressurized fluid flow from the exhaust can interior. The exhaust can interior may be substantially devoid of flow obstructions between the plurality of inner flow conditioner holes and the exhaust screen holes.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jeffrey Lee Mason, Daniel Alexander Sieg, Carlos Eduardo Gutierrez, John Carl Glessner, Charles Steve Lawless

Patent number: 5784542Abstract: The present invention is a low friction, low inertia, six-axis force feedback input device comprising an arm with double-jointed, tendon-driven revolute joints, a decoupled tendon-driven wrist, and a base with encoders and motors. The input device functions as a master robot manipulator of a microsurgical teleoperated robot system including a slave robot manipulator coupled to an amplifier chassis, which is coupled to a control chassis, which is coupled to a workstation with a graphical user interface. The amplifier chassis is coupled to the motors of the master robot manipulator and the control chassis is coupled to the encoders of the master robot manipulator. A force feedback can be applied to the input device and can be generated from the slave robot to enable a user to operate the slave robot via the input device without physically viewing the slave robot.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1996Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Timothy Ohm, Hari Das, Rodriguez Guillermo, Curtis Boswell, Eric Paljug, Paul Schenker, Ed Barlow, Charles Steve
