Patent number: 10487526Abstract: Improved support systems, including seismic isolation platforms, tracks and flooring systems are disclosed for protecting a payload, for example, data center racks containing delicate computer equipment such as a hard disk drive, from damage due to vibrations such as seismic vibrations and the like. The systems are modular in design, and can be assembled and changed quickly, while being strong and robust enough to support heavy loads.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Workspace TechnologiesInventors: Don A. Hubbard, Gil A. Moreno

Patent number: 6922611Abstract: A automation equipment control system comprises a general purpose computer with a general purpose operating system in electronic communication with a real-time computer subsystem. The general purpose computer includes a program execution module to selectively start and stop processing of a program of equipment instructions and to generate a plurality of move commands. The real-time computer subsystem includes a move command data buffer for storing the plurality of move commands, a move module linked to the data buffer for sequentially processing the moves and calculating a required position for a mechanical joint. The real-time computer subsystem also includes a dynamic control algorithm in software communication with the move module to repeatedly calculate a required actuator activation signal from a joint position feedback signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2003Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc.Inventor: John R. Lapham
