Abstract: A robot quick-release assembly has a first joint member and a robot component mounted thereon, the first joint member has a first coupler and a second joint member, a robot arm mounted thereon has a second coupler, a clamp, and a locking collar. The first coupler can be coaxially aligned with the second coupler and pressed into the second joint member, and detachably connected to the second joint member. The first mechanical coupler is detachably connected to the second mechanical coupler for transferring power across the quick-release assembly. The robot component can receive an additional electrical connector, the additional electrical connector supplying power to the robot component. The quick-release assembly coupling assembly further exerts large forces with the application of a relatively small torque to the locking collar by applying a two stage wedge engagement and can further include a sequencing system.

Abstract: A scraper-hammer is provided that has a handle and a head connected to the handle. The head has a first surface and a second surface. The head has a longitudinal extending scraping edge that is sharp and which is defined by the intersection of surfaces and along the head's upper periphery. The head has a striking surface for striking fasteners that faces outwardly in the same general direction of the longitudinal axis of the scraping edge.

Abstract: A rotary fluid pressure device has a first oil passage with relatively high pressure fluid therein surrounding the gear set; a plurality of second oil passageways connecting the first oil passageway to the expanding and contracting oil chambers; and fluid non-return valves in each of the second oil passageways to permit the flow of oil therethrough only in a direction from the oil chambers to the first oil passageway.

Abstract: The invention concerns a tooth set (1) for a hydraulic machine (2), particularly a hydraulic steering unit, with a toothed ring (3), a gear wheel (4) arranged inside the toothed ring (3), a first plate (7) on an axial front side of the gear wheel (4) and the toothed ring (3) and a second plate (5) on the other axial front side. A simplification of the production is endeavoured. For this purpose, the two plates (5, 7) and the parts between them, gear wheel (4) and toothed ring (3), can be handled as a self-retainingly assembled module (1).

Abstract: The invention concerns a tooth set for a hydraulic machine, particularly a steering unit, with a toothed ring, having teeth, which are formed by means of inserts arranged in a housing, and a gear wheel arranged inside the toothed ring. It is endeavoured to simplify the production of such a tooth set. For this purpose, each inset (10) has, at least at its ends, a plate-like shape and the ends are fixed in the housing (11) in corresponding slots (17, 18).

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a modular architecture to organize and coordinate components that are needed to automate earthmoving tasks, and to coordinate the flow of data between the components is disclosed. The architecture includes three main subdivisions: a sensor pipeline, sensor data consumers, and motion planners and executors. The sensor pipeline receives raw sensor data from perceptual sensors such as a laser rangefinder or radar system, and converts the data into a form which is usable by the other system components. Sensor data can also be represented in the form of an elevation map of the surrounding terrain for other software components to use. Any number and types of sensor systems may be added to the software architecture depending on requirements and the capabilities of the system. The sensor data consumers use the sensor data as input to specific algorithms to produce information regarding the machine's environment for use by other system components.

Abstract: A multi-walled plate element for use in a plate heat exchanger, manufactured by pressing two or more plates, said plate element having a plurality of holes which, when several plate elements are assembled, form distribution channels of a plate heat exchanger. At least some of the holes of the plate element are provided in that one of the walls incorporated in the plate element has a hole cross-section corresponding to the hole concerned of the plate element, and that the other wall or walls incorporated in the plate element have a different hole cross-section. The plate element is assembled with other plate elements to provide a plate heat exchanger. Gaskets (100) are arranged between two plate elements, said gaskets (100) extending along the periphery of the plate elements and around one set of port holes such that the inlet and outlet of a distribution channel can communicate via flow between the two plate elements through the other set of port holes.

Abstract: A device for tearing-up and stoking straw into a burner unit. A reciprocating slide is provided under a magazine shaft for straw bales, the slide having mutually staggered teeth on its upper side in a forward part of the slide and elongated fins extending in the direction of movement of the slide in a rear part. The part closest to the stoking channel constitutes a piston means for the conveyance and compression of comminuted straw. The straw is torn-up during the initial advance movement of the slide towards the channel because the teeth are in engagement with the bottom of the lowermost bale, whereas the bale is upheld by the teeth and the fins during the return movement of the slide. The piston means ensures that the shredded straw is pushed into a stoking channel for the combustion chamber of a boiler. Very compressed straw bales are thereby very uniformly comminuted and compressed before being fed into a burner unit.

Abstract: In a process for transfer pattern printing of a moist textile web consisting wholly or predominantly of natural fibers, in particular cotton, and/or artificial fibers on the basis of cellulose, the pattern carrier web is a web of paper or a paper-like material which carries a pre-printed pattern of a water soluble or dispersable dye. After wetting of the textile web to a carefully controlled moisture, the textile web is joined with the pattern carrier web and the joined webs are compressed at a suitable pressure so that the pattern can be transferred without using heat. The advantage is that it will be possible to avoid both heating and use of organic solvents. It is also possible to transfer a pattern to a colored textile web since the textile web may be wetted before hand with an aqueous dye solution or dispersion instead of undyed liquid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter bag holder comprising a flexible tubular member having a relatively constant outside diameter throughout a substantial portion of its length to one of its axial ends and having two axially spaced annular ribs protruding from the outside of the tubular member near its other axial end. The constant-diameter end may be attached to a filter bag, and the ribbed end engages in the region between the two axially spaced protruding annular ribs with a rim around an aperture in a partition located between mediums under different pressures.
