Abstract: A system comprises a docking station and a robot. The docking station includes a first dock and a second dock. The first dock is configured to removably-receive a first plate. The first plate is configured to removably-receive a first plurality of parts. The second dock is configured to removably-receive a second plate. The second plate is configured to removably-receive a second plurality of parts. The robot includes an end effector configured to engage the first plate and the second plate.

Abstract: A power system for use in converting solar energy into useful and stored energy available as output power capable of operating diverse types of power-driven units, such as electric generators, air conditioners, etc. The power system includes solar heat collector means, motor means a compressor system and power storage means. The solar collector system utilizes the sun's rays to heat a liquid medium, such as a refrigerant and convert it into a gas, with the expanded gas being delivered to large motor means. The large motor means is used in part to operate a power-driven unit and in part to drive a substantially smaller motor means operable to pressurize a compressor gas in accordance with the principle of hydraulic pressurization. The combination of the large and small motor means allows the pressure of the solar heated medium to greatly magnify the pressure developed on the compressor gas, which is transferred to the power storage system.

Abstract: A power system for use in converting solar energy into stored energy available as output power capable of operating diverse types of power-driven units, such as electric generators, air conditioners, etc. The power system includes solar heat collector means, a compressor system and power storage means. The solar collector system utilizes the sun's rays to heat a liquid medium, such as a refrigerant or halogen, and convert it into a gas, with the expanded gas being delivered to the compressor system whereby it effects operation of large motor means. The large motor means is integrally connected to a substantially smaller motor means operable to pressurize a compressor gas in accordance with the principle of hydraulic pressurization. The combination of the large and small motor means allows the pressure of the solar heated medium to greatly magnify the pressure developed on the compressor gas, which is transferred to the power storage system.
