  • Publication number: 20230139621
    Abstract: The present disclosure is in the field of surgical instrument, in particular drills used by surgeons and or dentist, or surgical robots. It is known that a motor generates a torque during rotating accelerations and decelerations. Accelerations and sharp brakes from powerful motors also generate torques to be countered by the surgeon wrist, or the robot chassis. In order to solve this problem, there is proposed a surgical power motor. The motor is made of two rotating parts, rotating in opposed directions, and further includes an inverter to link one rotating part with the other rotating part, each rotating part producing the similar acceleration torque and at least one being powered either by an electric or pneumatic source.

  • Publication number: 20230063775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amusement and leisure slide for attraction parks, hotels, business or shopping centers with various combinations of thrilling experiences. It is proposed an amusement attraction comprising a sliding section part of an amusement attraction configured to receive a sliding element having an initial speed, the sliding section being shaped to form a curve with at least an angle of 90 degree between an input and an output, the curved section having an internal and shorter wall and a external and longer wall, the section being further connected to at least one actuator adapted to move the sliding section with a lateral movement so that said lateral movement do work on the sliding element (9) in order to either increase it's speed or elevation or a combination of both.

  • Patent number: 6894246
    Abstract: A welding system with variable environment system is provided that allows devices to be welded in different gas environments. The preferred welding system uses a controllable gas delivery system that provides different gas mixtures to a welding chamber at different times. Thus, welding in different gas mixtures can be performed in a single welding chamber. This allows the devices to be welded both in environments that promote effective welding and in environments that have specific characteristics desirable for gases that remain in the completed device. Thus the system facilitates the formation of different types of devices in a single welding chamber, and in a single manufacturing line.
