Abstract: A system for installing a solar panel may include a first end-of-arm assembly tool coupled to a first robotic arm and part of a first assembly robot and a second end-of-arm assembly tool coupled to a second robotic arm and part of a second assembly robot. The first and the second end-of-arm assembly tools have different tooling and perform different functions to assembly solar panels to support structure. The first assembly robot and the second assembly robot may be located on autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles and the various components can be operated by a control system based on operation instructions received from a neural network.

Abstract: A system for installing a solar panel may include an end of arm assembly tool and a linear guide assembly coupled to the end of arm assembly tool. The end of arm assembly tool includes a frame and plurality of attachment devices, such as suction cups, coupled to the frame. The linear guide assembly includes a linearly moveable clamping tool including an engagement member configured to engage a clamp assembly slidably coupled to an installation structure, and a force torque transducer configured to move the clamping tool along the installation structure. A controller configured to control the force torque transducer and the plurality of attachment devices. The end of arm assembly tool is coupled to a robotic arm and is part of an assembly robot that includes autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles. The various components can be operated by a control system based on operation instructions received from a neural network.

Abstract: A method and system for using a field factory for solar panel pre-assembly is disclosed. A solar farm site may be difficult to configure. Thus, a field factory proximate to the site may be used for pre-assembly. As one example, the field factory may be used to configure the solar modules, such as for electrical and/or mechanical configuration, and to test the configuration prior to transport to the solar farm site. At the site, the configured solar modules may be installed onto the torque tubes. As another example, the field factory may be used to configure the solar modules, to mechanically connect the solar modules to the torque tubes to form solar module-torque tube combinations, and to test the combinations prior to transport to the solar farm site. At the site, the solar module-torque tube combinations may be installed, either directly or indirectly, onto piles previously driven into the ground.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an innovative pedicle probe that uses a force-sensing electromechanical system coupled with haptic and visual feedback. The probe of the present invention reduces the rate of pedicle screw breaches during spinal fusion surgery. The probe provides an effective guidance system to aid surgeons in detecting and preventing cortical bone breaches, thereby minimizing risk of intraoperative injury to the patient. Moreover, the probe invention decreases surgeon reliance on intraoperative radiation, reducing harmful exposure to both patients and surgeons.

Abstract: A temporary eyeglass frame for securing left and right corrective lenses for wearing in front of a person's eyes includes a nosepiece assembly has a bridge area formed to rest on the bridge of a person's nose, and a left lens clamp on a left side of the central area for securing a portion of a left corrective lens and a right lens clamp on a right side of the central area for securing a portion of a right corrective lens. A left temple assembly has a left temple lens clamp for securing an opposite end of the left corrective lens and a temple extending rearwardly therefrom for supporting engagement with wearer's left ear, and a right temple assembly has a right temple lens clamp for securing an opposite end of the right corrective lens and a temple extending rearwardly therefrom for supporting engagement with wearer's right ear.

Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device and method for suturing the fascia or other tissue in a patient. The device includes a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to one another and housing a spring-based lever system that is configured to frictionally hold a portion of a needle within each of the first and second arms. A switch allows the spring-based lever system to be used to pass the needle between the first and second arms. When the switch is in a first position, the needle is frictionally held by the spring-based lever system within the first arm and released within the second arm. Likewise, when the switch is in a second position, the needle is frictionally held by the spring-based lever system within the second arm and released within the first arm.
