  • Publication number: 20250065511
    Abstract: In a method and system for operating a robot, at least one first direction, in which an external load acting on a reference is not reliably detectable on the basis of detected joint loads due to the vicinity to a singular position of the robot, is displayed as not being monitored on the basis of detected joint loads, and/or at least one second direction, in which an external load acting on the reference is reliably detectable on the basis of detected joint loads despite the vicinity to the singular position, is displayed as being monitorable on the basis of detected joint loads.

  • Publication number: 20250036714
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a cryptographic encrypted computation method (400). The method involves performing a blind rotation of a ciphertext according to a test polynomial. The blind rotation results in an encrypted polynomial product of the test polynomial and a bootstrapping monomial represents the plaintext value as an exponent, modulo a modulus (q) and modulo a quotient polynomial (p(X)). The quotient polynomial p(X) divides an NTT polynomial XM?1 that allows a number-theoretic transform modulo the modulus q, e.g., q is a power of two and p(X)=XN+XN/2+1. The blind rotation is made more efficient by using the NTT, while the test polynomial is defined in such a way that the polynomial product is programmed to have desired output values for respective plaintext values as a fixed coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20230256639
    Abstract: A feed and cutting unit for selectively cutting and dispensing individual weight material segments from a common strip of backing material is disclosed. The feed and cutting unit comprises a feed assembly, a sensor and a cutter member. The feed assembly includes a drive roller and a follower roller that frictionally engages first and second surfaces of a strip of weight material to selectively move the strip of weight material to a cutter member. The sensor is connected to a controller and measures an amount of segmented weight material on the backing material as the strip of weight material moves past the sensor. The cutter member is actuated to separate weight material segments from the backing material by cutting at least a portion of the backing material in a gap disposed between adjacent segments. Weight apply devices that receive the segments for application to an imbalanced member, are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200055080
    Abstract: A method and a device for spray painting a workpiece uses an application device. The workpiece has at least two components that are movable relative to each other which are at least arranged region by region or meshing with each other such that, dependent on the relative position of the components, at least a subregion of one of components is mounted shaded so that the subregion is inaccessible for spray painting by the application device. The method and the device for the spray painting of workpieces, allow a fast, complete and cost-effective painting of a workpiece. One of the components is moved during the spray painting by means of an actuator such that the subregion of the component is displaced so that the subregion is not shaded and is accessible for spray painting by the application device.
