Publication number: 20240058965Abstract: Pick quality determination is disclosed, including: using a pressure meter to sense a pressure associated with an airflow through a gripper mechanism of a diverting mechanism over time during a pick operation on a target object; storing the sensed pressure associated with the airflow through the gripper mechanism over time as a pressure sequence associated with the pick operation on the target object; and correlating the pressure sequence with representative pressure sequences associated with corresponding pick quality types to determine whether the pick operation on the target object was successful or not.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Matthew Stanton, Jacob Fitzgerald, Jeffrey Stenberg, Jason M. Calaiaro, Carter J. Schultz, John C. McCoy, JR., Kevin Taylor, Brian J. Leach, Peter March, Joseph M. Castagneri, Brendan Edward Richards

Patent number: 9480878Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise comprising a frame having a body, a base and a top. A load is positioned on the frame for providing a resistive force. A press is positioned on the frame for displacement by the operator. A linkage joins the load with the press for displacing the load upon displacement of the press by the operator. An arm extends between a support end and a user end. A support pivot secures the support end of the arm to the top of the frame for pivoting the arm about the frame. A user interface inputs and outputs data. A user pivot securing the user interface to the user end of the arm for pivoting the user interface about the arm.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Inventors: Carl R. Spoeth, Jr., Jeffrey A. Pearson, Jacob Fitzgerald
