  • Patent number: 11919164
    Abstract: A robot system (1) includes the robot (10), a motion sensor (11), a surrounding environment sensor (12, 13), an operation apparatus (21), a learning control section (41), and a relay apparatus (30). The robot (10) performs work based on an operation command. The operation apparatus (21) detects and outputs an operator-operating force applied by the operator. The learning control section (41) outputs a calculation operating force. The relay apparatus (30) outputs the operation command based on the operator-operating force and the calculation operating force. The learning control section (41) estimates and outputs the calculation operating force by using a model constructed by performing the machine learning of the operator-operating force, the surrounding environment data, the operation data, and the operation command based on the operation data and the surrounding environment data outputted by the sensors (11 to 13), and the operation command outputted by the relay apparatus (30).

  • Patent number: 5571430
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for bidirectionally oscillating a spot of a laser beam incident upon a workpiece to be processed with the laser beam, wherein the laser beam generated by a laser source is reflected by a movable reflecting mirror which is bidirectionally pivoted about a first axis by an oscillating actuator, so that the reflected laser beam is incident upon the workpiece. The apparatus includes a rotary support member which supports the mirror and the oscillating actuator and which is rotatable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a rotating actuator for rotating the rotary support member about the second axis during bidirectional oscillation of the spot of the laser beam incident upon the workpiece, to thereby change an oscillating direction of the beam spot.

  • Patent number: 5287014
    Abstract: A hysteresis circuit according to the invention has a thyristor circuit 101 which outputs a low voltage in an on-stage thereof, and outputs a high voltage in an off-state thereof. When an input voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of a first switching circuit 102, the circuit 102 turns on the thyristor circuit. On the other hand, when the input voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of a second switching circuit 103, the circuit 103 turns off the thyristor circuit.

  • Patent number: 5149199
    Abstract: A temperature detection circuit includes first and second current sources and a comparing circuit. A first current source generates a current having a positive temperature coefficient and flowing in a band gap type voltage source. A second current source generates a current having a zero or negative temperature coefficient. The comparing circuit compares the amounts of currents flowing in the first and second current sources to detect the relation between the magnitudes of the compared currents.

  • Patent number: 5132600
    Abstract: A load driving circuit includes a pair of push-pull circuits formed of bipolar transistors. A load is connected between the output terminals of the push-pull circuits and the polarity of a current flowing in the load can be changed to drive the load. The pair of push-pull circuits are controlled by means of an output transistor driving circuit. The output transistor driving circuit includes first and second driving transistors for driving output transistors constituting the push-pull circuits and first and second control transistors for preventing the flow of a through current. The emitter and collector of the first control transistor are respectively connected to the emitter and base of the first driving transistor or the emitter and base of the output transistor arranged on the power source side and constituting one push-pull circuit.

  • Patent number: 5059919
    Abstract: An amplifying device comprises a differential amplifier stage, which includes a first transistor supplied with an input signal and a second transistor supplied with an output signal as a negative feedback signal, and a third transistor for detecting cutoff of a power supply voltage to be supplied to the differential amplifier stage. The third transistor controls a fourth transistor which sets the potential at the base of the first transistor at the ground level. The base of the first transistor is connected to the base of a fifth transistor, which controls a sixth transistor connected between the ground and the base of the second transistor so that in a power-off state, the fourth and sixth transistors render the potentials at the bases of the first and second transistors to be the ground level.
