  • Patent number: 11733047
    Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide for production of geographically located, accurate indoor maps of physical spaces and provide navigation guidance for users in physical spaces, and process requests for users related to available physical space within said physical spaces. Aggregated information about the physical spaces is curated and converted using automated procedures into a data model that contains all elements of said physical spaces, including geographic data about the physical space's location on the globe. The system and computer program embodiments retrieve the converted data, load it on mobile devices or computers, rendering it on these devices in the correct global geographic context, allowing users to interact with the data to select rooms, and send and receive requests to and from external systems regarding these selections. Users navigate within the physical spaces using mobile devices and the computer program embodiments in tandem to provide accurate directions and guidance.

  • Publication number: 20200326060
    Abstract: A versatile positionable task lamp includes a base, a first arm extending from the base and rotatable about its own axis, a second arm connected with the first arm by a first joint which enables the second arm to rotate about its own axis and rotate about an axis of the first joint, a third arm connected with the second arm by a second joint which enables the third arm to rotate about its own axis and rotate about an axis of the second joint, a lighting element connected with the third arm by a third joint which enables the lighting element to rotate about an axis of the third joint, and a plurality of counterweights disposed on the second and third arms in a way that two masses respectively extending from two opposite sides of anyone of the first and second joints are counterweighted by each other.

  • Patent number: 8672063
    Abstract: A motorized chain roller includes a frame, a roller chain assembly movably disposed within the frame, a first sprocket that engages the roller chain assembly to apply a transmission force to the roller chain assembly, at least one motor coupled to the frame and configured to transmit a rotational force to the first sprocket, and a load-bearing member coupled to and located within the frame. The roller chain assembly includes a plurality of interconnected cylindrical rolls arranged in a continuous series. Each of the cylindrical rolls has an axis or rotation. The roller chain assembly engages the load-bearing member to cause movement between the roller chain assembly and the load-bearing member perpendicular to the axes of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20140048343
    Abstract: A multi-axis articulating crawler includes a turntable assembly having a turntable, a first main beam rotatably coupled to a first side of the turntable assembly and a second main beam rotatably coupled to a second side of the turntable assembly. First and second track assemblies are rotatably coupled to the first main beam, and third and fourth track assemblies are rotatably coupled to the second main beam. The axes of rotation of the first, second, third and fourth track assemblies are perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the first and second arms. The longitudinal axes of the first and third track assemblies are on the same line and the longitudinal axes of the second and fourth track assemblies are on the same line. The track assemblies are independently driven to maneuver the crawler.
