  • Publication number: 20240189978
    Abstract: An advanced system of cooperating solar module carrier robots for installing solar panels is provided. The system includes a computer vision system designed to route the cooperating solar module carrier robots to the solar tracker. The system also includes a robotic arm with a suction cup tool designed to pick up and hold a solar panel. The suction cup tool can include a set of suction cups, an actuator designed to create a vacuum in each suction cup of the set of suction cups. The suction cup tool also has an air nozzle designed to below off debris on a surface of the solar panel.

  • Publication number: 20240173577
    Abstract: A cable sleeve for use with a safety cable of a fall protection system. The cable sleeve has a braking system that includes a constant-contact wheel, a rotor that is connected to the constant-contact wheel, a cam plate, and a braking shoe. The rotor may have a permanent magnet and a magnetically susceptible item that is held in a disengaged position by the permanent magnet. Rotation of the constant-contact wheel can overcome the magnetic force and cause the item to move so as to engage with the cam plate and actuate braking by the braking shoe.

  • Patent number: 11922286
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for using more than one Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to analyze a user input and to predict a request being made by the user as the user is inputting the request. In an embodiment, a first RNN and a second RNN can simultaneously or near simultaneously process the user requested information by separating and analyzing the characters and words in the user's request. A third RNN can process the output vectors generated by the first and second RNNs to identify one or more solutions that predict the user's request.

  • Publication number: 20230314184
    Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring a screw joint of an object includes a base plate to be attached to the object and a top plate to be attached to one part of the screw joint, wherein the base plate and the top plate are positioned parallel to and on top of each other and wherein both plates each includes at least one electrode that capacitively interact with each other. The monitoring device is characterized in that the electrodes are shaped and positioned such that at least one electrode of one of the plates interacts with at least two different electrodes of the other one of the plates depending on the rotational position of the plates relative to each other. A monitoring arrangement having at least one monitoring device of this kind and a monitoring method are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11691402
    Abstract: Rigid wadding, insulation and packaging for food and other products is made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one. For purposes of protecting an inner rigid wadding or other insulation, one or more film strips or film coatings may be applied by the artful use of amorphous (non-crystalized) PET that melts at a lower temperature and can act as a thermal bond adhesive. The film strips or film coatings may be made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one.
