Patent number: 11809142Abstract: An electronic hinge system is provided, including a first component and a second component. The first component may include a first enclosure, a first substrate extending within the first enclosure, a first connector, and a plurality of curved elements disposed in the first connector. The first substrate may have electrically conductive elements and microelectronic devices electrically connected with the electrically conductive elements. The curved elements may be electrically conductive and spaced apart from one another. Each curved element may be electrically connected with a respective one of the electrically conductive elements of the first component. The second component may include a second enclosure and a second connector disposed at an end of the second enclosure. The first connector may be configured to mate with the second connector, such that when the first component is engaged with the second component, the first connector is rotationally coupled with the second connector.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Marc Thomas, Jacob Stelman

Publication number: 20230302859Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel robot drive train that is robust, and low cost. The drive train is capable of ascending obstacles greater than the height of its wheels, protects the robot against shocks/vibration, and is highly maneuverable, such as able to execute a zero-point turn. To control the bogie in a variety of scenarios, a novel mechanism is used to selectively limit the articulation range of the bogie and/or programmatically apply a preload to the bogie axle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: JAKE STELMAN, MARC THOMAS, JONAS WITT, CHRISTIAN BERSCH, JASON HARDY
