Johannes Vähänen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10688525
    Abstract: The present invention introduces an operational end module for material spraying or working tool applications. The end module may be fixed in an arm. The end module senses its current location and alignment, together with its nearest distance to an obstacle. The system corrects the direction and location of the end module based on the sensed data and the used application. The device has a user input interface and a screen for parameter representation. The end module direction and location can be controlled by three mutually orthogonally aligned motors connected along the material pipe, where the pipe curves between the motors, together with a variable length arm. A machined screwdriver operation in difficult locations is an example of the invention in the area of working tools.
