  • Patent number: 9522199
    Abstract: A method for recovering an endohedral metallofullerene comprises a complexation step of adding a Lewis acid comprising titanium halide or tin halide to a reaction solution formed by dissolving crude fullerenes in a solvent, thereby forming a complex of the endohedral metallofullerene and the Lewis acid, a filtering step of filtering the reaction solution to separate the complex, and a washing step of removing the Lewis acid from the complex to obtain the endohedral metallofullerene. The obtained endohedral metallofullerene is soluble in a solvent. This method provides a high recovery yield of the endohedral metallofullerene.

  • Publication number: 20060232086
    Abstract: A robot hand includes a drive unit having a pair of moving elements provided so as to be movable in a lateral direction with respect to a center axis extending parallel with a longitudinal direction of an arm part to which the robot hand is attached, a pair of gripping claws each coupled to one of the pair of moving elements of the drive unit, and a joint for coupling the pair of gripping claws to each other so as to be pivotable. Each of the pair of gripping claws has a base end coupled to one of the moving elements so as to be pivotable and a front end for engaging with a workpiece. The pair of moving elements are operated to approach and move apart from each other in a lateral direction with respect to the center axis, thereby making the pair of gripping claws pivot about the joint and making the front ends of the gripping claws move apart from or approach each other.

  • Publication number: 20060149421
    Abstract: A robot controller is disclosed in which a specific target position is predetermined in order to define approaching and leaving paths for a robot hand, and a plurality of different path patterns are stored in a path pattern storage means as the approaching and leaving paths along which the robot hand approaches and leaves the predetermined specific target position. Next, based on a workpiece position detected by a visual sensor, one of the path patterns stored in the path pattern storage means is selected, and the selected path pattern is modified so that the target position of the robot hand is coincident with the actual workpiece position. The modified path pattern is defined as revised approaching and leaving paths and the robot hand is moved along the revised approaching and leaving paths.
