Patent number: 11446810Abstract: A robotic assistant comprises a plurality of sensors in a compact and unobtrusive form. One or more sensors may be emplaced upon a mast that may be selectively raised and lowered. The mast allows the robotic assistant to acquire images or other sensor data from a greater height, without substantially increasing the bulk of the robotic assistant. For ease of transport from one floor to another or from one building to another, the robotic assistant may deploy a handhold that a human may use to pick up and carry the robotic assistant. Floor characterization sensors may be used to determine characteristics of the floor such as if the floor is wet or dry. The robotic assistant may be used to provide a user with access to network services, to monitor a facility, provide telepresence services, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Albert John Yu Sam Chua, Paul Leland Mandel, Adam Barry Fineberg, Christopher Clive Jones, Stephen Anthony Kitchens, Christopher Lorenzo Dunn, Omar Sze Leung, Carl Philip Taussig, John Edwin Johnston

Patent number: 11345052Abstract: An extensible mast device allows a payload to be supported at a controllable distance from a supporting device. A motor driving a flexible strip provides a force through the flexible strip to extend the mast. The extended strip may have a curved cross section that provides some rigidity. A set of telescoping sections may enclose the strip. One or more of the sections may be flexible. In the event of an impact between the extensible mast and an object, such as a user, the flexible section and the strip yield to the impact and collapse. The extensible mast may be easily reset by lifting it back to a vertical position, with the flexible strip reasserting the curved cross section and the flexible sections resuming substantially the same shape as before the impact. A robot may use the extensible mast to elevate cameras or other sensors to a higher vantage point.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: John Edwin Johnston, Christopher Clive Jones, Carl Philip Taussig, Christopher Lorenzo Dunn, Mark Greggory Edstrom, David Jennings Dostal, Jose Arnoldo Marin-McDaniel

Patent number: 7541227Abstract: Thin film devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed herein. A method for forming a thin film device includes forming a first at least semi-conductive strip located at a first height relative to a surface of a substrate, and forming a second at least semi-conductive strip adjacent to the first at least semi-conductive strip. The second strip is located at a second height relative to the substrate surface, and the second height is different than the first height. A nano-gap is formed between the first and second at least semi-conductive strips.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ping Mei, Craig M. Perlov, Albert Hua Jeans, Carl Philip Taussig

Patent number: 6683322Abstract: The invention includes a memory cell apparatus, and a method of forming the memory cell. The memory cell apparatus includes a flexible hybrid memory element. The flexible hybrid memory element includes a flexible first conductive layer formed adjacent to a flexible substrate. A flexible diode structure is formed adjacent to the flexible first conductor. A flexible switch is formed adjacent to the flexible diode structure. A flexible second conductive layer is formed adjacent to the flexible switch. The flexible switch is generally formed from an organic material. The flexible diode structure is generally formed from a disordered, inorganic material. The flexible switch can be formed to create a high resistance path when a threshold amount of current is passed through the flexible switch, or the flexible switch can be formed to create a low resistance path when a threshold amount of current is passed through the flexible switch.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Warren B.

Publication number: 20040002216Abstract: The invention includes a method and system for forming a semiconductor device. The invention involves the utilization of a stamping tool to generate three-dimensional resist structures whereby thin film patterning steps can be transferred to the resist in a single molding step and subsequently revealed in later processing steps. Accordingly, the alignments between successive patterning steps can be determined by the accuracy with which the stamping tool has been fabricated, regardless of the dilations or contractions that can take place during the fabrication process. A first aspect of the invention includes a method for forming a semiconductor device. The method comprises providing a substrate, depositing a first layer of material over the substrate and forming a 3-dimensional (3D) resist structure over the substrate wherein the 3D resist structure comprises a plurality of different vertical heights throughout the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2002Publication date: January 1, 2004Inventors: Carl Philip Taussig, Ping Mei
