Abstract: A robot assembly includes at least four load-bearing structural parts connected by joints between each two adjacent structural parts to form a chain, and a joint motor associated with each joint for the driven movement of the structural parts connected by the joint relative to each other. A control device is provided in one of the structural parts which is connected at both ends to an adjacent structural part via an associated joint. The control device is designed to control at least three of the joint motors, and the electrical connection of the control device to each of the joint motors necessary for the controlling process is provided by a separate control line dedicated to the associated joint motor.

Abstract: A base for use with scaffolding. The base includes side support members and cross members. The side support members have scaffold receiving members provided at ends thereof. The cross members extend between the side support members and are rotatably mounted to the side support members. Wheels are mounted to the cross members. As the cross members are rotated from a first position to a second position, the wheels are moved from an initial position in which the wheels are spaced from a ground or floor surface to a second position in which the wheels are positioned in engagement with the ground or floor surface.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing tubing from a well-defined steel composition. in particular fat a suited gas inflator pressure vessel comprises the steps: a) producing a steel tubing from a steel composition including at least one hot rolling or hot forming pass: b) subjecting the steel tubing to a cold-drawing process to obtain desired dimensions. wherein the cold-drawing process comprises at least too pulls and before the first pull of the cold-drawn tug process an intermediate austenizing and quenching step: c) subsequently performing a final recovery heat treatment on the cold-drawn steel tubing at a temperature in the range of 200-600° C.

Abstract: A thin profile retractor allows for a wheelchair securement system to be installed in-floor without the need for large holes to be cut into the OEM vehicle flooring. A plurality of thin profile retractors may be combined in a single housing to define a drop-in, in-floor system. The thickness of the in-floor system is approximately equal to or slightly thicker than the thickness of the type of aftermarket flooring that is typically placed on top of the OEM flooring or vehicle frame—for example, plywood. In that regard, a large hole corresponding to the outline of the in-floor system need only be cut in the aftermarket flooring, and only small holes need to be drilled to secure the in-floor system to the vehicle frame. The thin profile retractor includes specialized components and component configurations that permit the thin profile and/or allow the retractor to perform better during accident scenarios.

Abstract: A brake/ballast assembly for a movable structure. The brake/ballast assembly includes a movable brake/ballast plate movable between a movable brake/ballast plate first position in which the movable brake/ballast plate is positioned proximate the fixed member and a movable brake/ballast plate second position in which the movable brake/ballast plate is spaced from the fixed member. An engagement member is connected to the movable brake/ballast plate. The engagement member is movable between an engagement member first position and an engagement member second position.

An engagement member is connected to the movable brake/ballast plate. The engagement member is movable between an engagement member first position and an engagement member second position. When the engagement member is in the engagement member first position, the movable brake/ballast plate is provided in the movable brake/ballast plate first position allowing the movable structure to be moved along a surface.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of treating cancer (e.g., melanoma) with (MI-181).

Abstract: A joint arrangement for an articulated arm robot includes a first structural member and a second structural member which is mounted, in particular floatingly mounted, in a pivot bearing on the first structural member. A first cable has a first cable portion arranged on the first structural member and a second cable portion arranged on the second structural member. The first and second cable portions are connected in a first cable loop. In one embodiment the joint arrangement has a torque sensor.

Abstract: A treatment method for reducing contaminating agents in liquid mixtures of substituted hydrocarbons used as fuels is provided. A supersaturated mixture of ferrous oxide is combined with the hydrocarbons and mixed to form a homogenous solution. The homogenous solution is allowed to separate by means of settling and an aqueous solution is decanted to thereby produce a refined liquid hydrocarbons.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to antimitotic compounds, compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of these compounds, and methods of using those compounds and compositions in treating hyperproliferative disorders, e.g., cancers and myelodysplastic syndromes.

Abstract: The claimed method is a treatment for reducing polluting agents in liquid mixtures of substituted hydrocarbons used as fuels, using a supersaturated ferrous oxide mixture blended with the hydrocarbons, and then both mixtures separated by decantation.

Abstract: A mobile emergency light device includes a casing (1), a moving closure cover (2), a translucent lens (3), an electronic circuit board (5) for control, and a combined reflector (4), in which the combined reflector (4) has an inverted bell shape and is open at both ends, in which the electronic circuit board is securely connected to the combined reflector (4), and provided with a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED), suitably angled towards the combined reflector (4), and in which the casing (1) forms inside this a cylindrical cavity (13), whose interior houses an automatic switch, driven by the base of the casing approaching a ferromagnetic material.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ecological pallet with two semi-circular support structures, each an elongated arch-shaped structure, with openings located at equidistant distances on one of the sides of each of the semi-circular support structures. The semi-circular support structures are similar and connected to each other by a fabric web. The fabric web is fixed through parallel opening lines to each of the support structures by: one or more first and second double male anchor type member with pins, extending on both sides of the double male anchoring members keeping between the pins the same equidistant distances to each other that keep the openings of the semi-circular support structures; and one or more first and second female anchoring members with equidistant openings keeping between the openings the same equidistant distances to each other that keep the openings of the semi-circular support structures.

Abstract: The present invention is in a first part is a door security system including an elongate J-frame to attach to a door-frame having a recessed groove defined within a first vertical piece. The J-frame snugly nestles within, and extends entirely along the groove. An elongate vertical member attaches to a door first vertical surface to entirely cover same and traverse at least the door thickness. The vertical member mates with the J-frame, to prevent unwanted force entry. In a second part, the invention includes an elongate U-frame to attach to a door having a recessed groove defined within a second vertical surface. The U-frame snugly nestles within and extends entirely along the recessed groove. An elongate T-frame attaches to, and extends axially entirely along, a second vertical door-frame piece. The T-frame mates with the U-frame to prevent the door from being removed from its frame.
