Patent number: 12233558Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic control for tool sharpening. The device may determine a first location associated with a first cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools relative to the first container. The device may grip the first cutting tool based on the first location of the first cutting tool relative to the first container. The device may move the robotic device to one more scanning sensors. The device may collect three dimensional data. The device may extract a profile of the first cutting tool. The device may determine a top edge and a bottom edge based on the profile. The device may determine a tip of the first cutting tool. The device may generate a sharpening path based on the tip and the profile of the first cutting tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Omnisharp, LLCInventors: Russell Aldridge, Marc Christenson, Jacob Robinson, Isaac Jones, Joshua Foss, Mathius Jules, Michael Morgan, Austin Christensen, Jason Orr, Nathan Powelson, Sam Grayson

Patent number: 12208510Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic drive control device. A robotic device may receive an indication associated with pressing an actuator on a handheld device, wherein the handheld device controls a movement of an end effector of the robotic device. The robotic device may record a home location associated with where the actuator was pressed in space. The robotic device may determine an orientation of the handheld device. The robotic device may detect a movement of the handheld device from the home location to a second location in space. The robotic device may cause the end effector of the robot to move in the same orientation as the handheld device from a stationary position that is associated with the home location while continuing to move the end effector even when the handheld device stops moving at the second location.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: SISU DEVICES LLCInventors: Jacob Robinson, Russell Aldridge, Joshua Foss, Marc Christenson

Publication number: 20240125633Abstract: A device for determining a flow rate of a fluid flow, includes a fluid chamber configured to receive a portion of a fluid from the fluid flow, through an inlet fluid port. Further, the device includes a membrane configured to deform in response to the receipt of the portion of the fluid into the fluid chamber. The device further includes a sensor provided in a second chamber provided adjacent to the membrane on a side opposite to a side of the fluid chamber. The sensor is configured to detect deformation of the membrane and generate an input signal associated with the detected deformation of the membrane. Also, the device includes an electronic circuit board operatively coupled to the sensor. The electronic circuit board is configured to receive the input signal from the sensor and provide an output signal in correlation with the flow rate of the fluid flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Javad Rezanezhad Gatabi, Emad Jafari Nodoushan, Joshua Foss
