  • Publication number: 20230294224
    Abstract: A device is provided for the automated production of screw connections, and includes an articulated robot with an output element and an end link. The output element is arranged on the end link so as to be rotatable around an effector axis (wE). A screwdriver tool is provided, and can be rotated around the effector axis (wE) by the output element. At least one gear may also be provided, where the gear has a direct operative connection to the output element and the screwdriver tool and is set up for transmission of a rotary speed between the output element and the screwdriver tool.

  • Patent number: 8106816
    Abstract: A set of device parameters consisting of clock bias and position of a mobile device is determined without previous knowledge of the week number (WN) in that solutions of a set of equations derived from a least squares type weight function involving pseudoranges related to the device parameters via basic equations are attempted with a time of week (TOW) extracted from satellite signals and various week number candidates. A solution algorithm which iteratively solves the set of equations is used, each iteration step involving a linearization of the latter and resulting in corrections of the device parameters. After elimination of week numbers where the solution algorithm does not yield a solution a valid week number is selected from the remaining week numbers in that a deviation value is determined which reflects differential terms, i.e., differences between pseudorange values as measured and as derived from the set of device parameters according to the solution, e.g., by evaluation of the weight function.
