Publication number: 20240069561Abstract: A robotic garden tool includes at least one sensor configured to generate signals associated with an object within an operating area. A first electronic processor of the robotic garden tool receives, from the at least one sensor, an obstacle signal associated with an obstacle located within the operating area. The first electronic processor determines a first location of the robotic garden tool at a time corresponding to when the first electronic processor received the obstacle signal. The first electronic processor determines a second location of the obstacle based on the obstacle signal and the first location of the garden tool. The first electronic processor generates mapping information of the operating area that includes a virtual boundary based on the second location of the obstacle. The first electronic processor controls the robotic garden tool in the operating area to remain outside of the virtual boundary based on the mapping information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Hei Man Lee, Hok Sum Sam Lai, Man Ho Choi, Ho Lam Ng, Shing Hin Li, Chi Chau Lee, Tat Hei Lai

Publication number: 20060172124Abstract: A rainbow rub-on that is used in a manner similar to writing with carbon paper, but transfers a myriad of color and patterns in the design created by the user who writes and/or draws on the transfer sheet thereby transferring only those colors and designs from the transfer sheet that fall within the design and/or writing of the user. The process includes four distinct layers. The first, or base, layer is a polyester film with a second layer of wax printed thereon. A third layer mixture of emulsion, pigment and adhesive of different colors and designs is applied to the second layer. An optional fourth layer of wax can be applied for stronger adhesion of the writing transfer to the paper. Adjusting the thickness of the pigments in the third layer during production allows the rainbow rub-on to be reusable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventor: Hok Man
