  • ELECTRONIC OVEN WITH VERTICALLY ACTUATED CHAMBER DOOR
    Publication number: 20190350407
    Abstract: Method and systems related to vertically actuated heating chamber doors are disclosed. One system includes an electronic oven, comprising a hinge mechanism, a heating chamber, a chamber door connected to the hinge mechanism, and an integrated touch display on the chamber door. The chamber door seals the heating chamber in a closed state and reveals the heating chamber in an open state. The hinge mechanism is configured to move the chamber door vertically between the open state and the closed state.

  • Robotic hand with extendable palm
    Patent number: 7370896
    Abstract: A robotic hand comprises a base having fingers and a palm. The fingers define a working volume. The hand is able to grasp objects between the fingers and the palm by varying a distance from the palm to the working volume. Varying this distance can be achieved by either moving the palm towards the working volume or by moving the working volume towards the palm. Robotic hands that move the palm comprise an actuator that extends the palm from the base towards the working volume. Robotic hands that move the working volume relative to the palm have the fingers mounted to a common finger support unit that is configured to translate relative to the base.
