Abstract: A device (1) comprises at least a body (2) and a bumper (6) which is movably attached to the body so as to protect the body from shock caused by collision with an obstacle during movement of the device across a surface. The bumper is attached to the body by means of at least one spring (9) extending in a direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to the direction into which the bumper is movable with respect to the body. Furthermore, a robot cleaner comprising such a device is provided.

Abstract: A manipulator for use in e.g. a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is described, said manipulator capable of rotating and translating a sample holder (4). The manipulator clasps the round sample holder between two members (3A, 3B), said members mounted on actuators (2A, 2B). Moving the actuators in the same direction results in a translation of the sample holder, while moving the actuators in opposite directions results in a rotation of the sample holder.

Abstract: An apparatus for thermal treatment of tissue comprises a compact manipulator (37) for positioning and orienting an energy radiator (50) for heat treatment of biological tissues. The energy radiator (50) is adapted to emit energy in the direction of a focal axis into a focal volume. The manipulator (37) can adjust the position and orientation of a suspension body (20) in a plane. The plane wherein the suspension body can be maneuvered is parallel to a support face of the apparatus. The energy radiator (50) is suspended from the suspension body (20). The energy radiator (50) can be manipulated with five independent degrees of freedom relative to said support face.
