Magnus Lindh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20200031226
    Abstract: A robotic cleaning device having a propulsion system to move the robot over a surface to be cleaned, a controller to control the propulsion system to cause the robot to perform a rotating movement, and an inertial measurement unit configured to measure a change in heading of the robotic cleaning device caused by the rotating movement. The controller is further configured to acquire signals from an odometry encoder arranged on each drive wheel of the propulsion system for measuring the change in heading of the robotic cleaning device caused by the rotating movement, and to determine a relation between the change in heading measured using odometry and the change in heading measured using the angle-measuring device, wherein a difference in the two measured changes in heading indicates an estimate of wheel slip that occurs on said surface.

  • Publication number: 20160313741
    Abstract: A method of controlling operation of a robotic cleaning device and a robotic cleaning device performing the method. The robotic cleaning device includes a main body, a propulsion system arranged to move the robotic cleaning device, and an obstacle detection device arranged to detect obstacles. The robotic cleaning device further includes a controller arranged to control the propulsion system to move the robotic cleaning device. The controller is further arranged to identify one or more sections to be cleaned where the robotic cleaning device is likely to move without being hindered by the detected obstacles, and to control movement of the robotic cleaning device such that cleaning of the identified one or more sections is prioritized before sections of the surface where the robotic cleaning device is more likely to be hindered by the detected obstacles.

  • Publication number: 20160298970
    Abstract: A robotic cleaning device having a body, and an obstacle detecting device configured to obtain data from a vicinity of the robotic cleaning device. The robotic cleaning device further has a propulsion system configured to drive the robotic cleaning device across a surface to be cleaned, and a cleaning member. The device also has a processing unit arranged to extract at least one feature from data obtained by the obstacle detecting device, compare the attained feature with stored features and when the attained feature matches one of the stored features, deduce a position of the robotic cleaning device.

  • Patent number: 6695360
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock arrangement comprising a first lock element (2, 2′″) which is arranged so as to engage with a second lock element (8), a first retaining element (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″) which is arranged so as to engage with the first lock element (2, 2′″), and an operating member (24, 26) which is arranged so as to release the first retaining element(18, 18′, 18″, 18′″) from the first lock element (2), which operating member (24, 26) comprises a cable (24) which is displaceable in a cable sheath (26). The cable sheath (26) is arranged so as to bear against the first retaining element, which cable sheath (26), when the cable (24) is operated, acts with a pressing force on the first retaining member (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″).
