  • Publication number: 20240082499
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery arrangement including a drug delivery device for dispensing a liquid drug from a reservoir an electronic module. The delivery device includes a device housing and a movable member. The electronic module is releasably attachable to the device housing and includes a module housing, an actuator and an engaging member movable, by the actuator, relative to the module housing. The engaging member can be brought into engagement with the movable member such that a movement of one of the engaging member or the movable member causes a movement of the other of the movable member or the engaging member when the electronic module is attached to the drug delivery device.

  • Publication number: 20220047755
    Abstract: A method for operating a fragrancing device, wherein a blower device is provided which sucks air through an air inlet opening into the first air duct and conveys it to an air outlet opening. At second air duct is provided, which branches off from the first air duct at a first duct branch and rejoins the first air duct at a second duct branch. A first fragrance container is provided in the second air duct between the first duct branch and the second duct branch, which can be flowed through by the air flow in the second air duct. A first valve device is provided upstream and/or downstream and controls the flow through the first fragrance container. The blower is controlled in such a manner that a defined, substantially constant, air flow is generated as a sum through the first air duct and the second air duct.

  • Patent number: 10828777
    Abstract: A method for redundancy-optimized planning of the operation of a redundant mobile robot having a robot arm includes using a tool center point (TCP) associated with the robot arm and assigned a Cartesian TCP coordinate system having a first, second, and third TCP-coordinate axes; using a Cartesian world coordinate system having first, second, and third world coordinate axes, wherein the first and second world coordinate axes span a plane on which the mobile robot moves, a height of the TCP from which the plane is assigned, and one of the TCP coordinate axes and the plane enclose an angle; creating at least one graph wherein a redundancy is presented as a function of the height and the angle, wherein the redundancy is a measure of possible configurations of the mobile robot depending on the height and the angle; and planning operation of the mobile robot using the graph.

  • Patent number: 9878446
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for determining gripping regions on an object. The object is to be gripped, based on the determined gripping regions, by means of a robot. At least one first gripping pose of the robot is taught at the object, and additional gripping poses are determined at the object. Based on these gripping poses, a first gripping region is configured.

  • Patent number: 9144902
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining possible positions of a robot arm of a robot. The robot arm comprises a frame, numerous links, disposed successively, which can move in relation to one another, with respect to axes. First, a target position and target orientation in space for a robot arm or a tool center point assigned to an end effector attached to the robot arm, are defined, to which a reference coordinate system having polar coordinates is assigned. Subsequently, potential possible positions of the frame of the robot arm in space and in the polar coordinates of the reference coordinate system are determined on the basis of the geometry of the robot arm, such that the tool center point can assume the defined target position and target orientation.
