  • Patent number: 11534929
    Abstract: Emergency stop pressure sensors 17 are installed on both side surfaces of a movable link 11 of a robot arm 14 of an assembly robot. When a worker S unintentionally walks in a swing range Ra of the robot arm 14 and contacts the emergency stop pressure sensor 17, a detection signal is transmitted to a control unit 19, and the control unit 19 shuts power transmission to a driving source swinging the robot arm. The emergency stop pressure sensor 17 has a first electrode and a second electrode constituting a pair of electrodes and an intermediate layer formed of rubber or a rubber composition, which is disposed between the pair of electrodes, the intermediate layer generating power upon deformation caused by contact with a contacted body (the worker). A side of the intermediate layer in a laminate direction undergoes surface modification treatment and/or inactivation treatment.

  • Patent number: 11492291
    Abstract: Glasses with compressive stress profiles that allow higher surface compression and deeper depth of layer (DOL) than is allowable in glasses with stress profiles that follow the complementary error function at a given level of stored tension. In some instances, a buried layer or local maximum of increased compression, which can alter the direction of cracking systems, is present within the depth of layer. Theses compressive stress profiles are achieved by a three step process that includes a first ion exchange step to create compressive stress and depth of layer that follows the complimentary error function, a heat treatment at a temperature below the strain point of the glass to partially relax the stresses in the glass and diffuse larger alkali ions to a greater depth, and a re-ion-exchange at short times to re-establish high compressive stress at the surface.

  • Patent number: 11465759
    Abstract: On an aircraft, a multi-mode power generator is operated in a variable voltage mode to power an electric Wng Ice Prevention System (eWIPS), and is operated in a fixed voltage mode to provide backup power. When atmospheric conditions are conducive to the formation of ice (and main generators are operative), the multi-mode power generator is operated in variable voltage mode to power the eWIPS with a first or second variable voltage. The first variable voltage, the value of which depends on atmospheric conditions, is for anti-ice operation. The second variable voltage, which can be the maximum output voltage, is for de-ice operation. Transitions between different variable voltage levels are not instantaneous which eliminates fatigue damage due to transients. If a main generator fails (or when atmospheric conditions are not conducive to the formation of ice), the multi-mode power generator is operated in fixed voltage mode to provide backup power.

  • Patent number: 11291596
    Abstract: Provided is an absorbent pad which prevents leakage of excess liquid excrement to the exterior. An absorbent pad sheet forms an absorbent pad from a liquid-permeable front sheet and a liquid permeable rear sheet, and absorbent polymer particles which absorb liquid excrement and which are provided between the front sheet and the rear sheet. The width in the width direction formed between both side parts folded to the inside is formed as 10-50% of the width of the absorbent pad in the width direction, and some of the absorbent polymer particles at the place at which folding to the inside occurs are made to penetrate the front sheet at the place at which folding to the inside occurs.
