  • Patent number: 11400993
    Abstract: A footrest arrangement is for a motorcycle, wherein the footrest arrangement comprises at least two or more individually pivotable footrest devices with footrest surfaces placed with an internal spacing between them so a motorcycle rider can choose whether to rest his foot on one or more of the footrest surfaces simultaneously.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220161419
    Abstract: A robotic arm for automatically displacing an object between two locations based on a combination of pre-set instructional data and dynamically updated instructional data includes a robotic arm sensor for detecting objects located within a distance Drs from a reference point on the robotic arm and, the robotic arm sensor is configured to determine, based on receiving signals from the detected object, at least one of the distance to the detected object, the size of the detected object, and at least one physical property of the detected object.

  • Patent number: 10017364
    Abstract: A traction winch for winching an elongated article having a high-tension end connectable to a load and low-tension end connectable to a storage device includes two or more rotatable drums arranged adjacent to each other with their rotational axes substantially parallel, each of them having a plurality of parallel, circumferential sheaves with groove, the sheaves being axially offset with respect to each other to allow wrapping of the elongated article around the sheaves of both drums in a spiral fashion. The sheaves includes fixed sheaves, stationary relative to their underlying drum, and rotatable sheaves, rotatable relative to their underlying drum. The majority of the rotatable sheaves of at least one of the drums is arranged adjacent to each other on a high load supporting side of the winch and the rotational velocity of at least one of the rotatable sheaves is reducible by means of at least one braking device.
