Abstract: The relational robotic controller (RRC) is a robotic control devise made up of a stack of relational correlation sequencers (RCS). The RRC controls the tasks (including sound generation, memory storage and retrieval tasks) performed by a robot. The RRC is programmed to perform all tasks relative a self location and identification task, performed by a nodal map, known as the self nodal map, and associated with one of the RCS that make up the RRC. The self-nodal map, operating simultaneously while other nodal maps are performing other tasks, acts as a recording monitor that senses data from pressure transducers, cameras, and microphones, relative to the self of the robot. When a phoneme-sound generating, auditory-microphone, and memory storage and retrieval RCS capability is coupled with a visual-camera capability, a RRC controlled robot may be trained to achieve coordinated camera visualization, memory recall, and verbal communication.

Abstract: Bone growth factors are used to stimulate new bone formation when administered with agents that inhibit bone resorption. These therapeutic combinations result in an enhanced rate of bone formation with an increase in bone mass.

Abstract: A wind-operated automatic steering gear for water-going vessels includes a wind vane, a main steering rudder, and a servo-rudder hinged to the rear end of the steering rudder. The wind vane is connected to the servo-rudder to move the latter and correct deviations in the course of vessel travel. A resetting mechanism is connected between the steering rudder and the wind vane to move the wind vane in response to movement of the steering rudder and thereby cause the wind vane to return to neutral position so that over correction of the vessel travel is prevented.
