Publication number: 20240111303Abstract: Systems and methods of manipulating/controlling robots. In many scenarios, data collected by a sensor (connected to a robot) may not have very high precision (e.g., a regular commercial/inexpensive sensor) or may be subjected to dynamic environmental changes. Thus, the data collected by the sensor may not indicate the parameter captured by the sensor with high accuracy. The present robotic control system is directed at such scenarios. In some embodiments, the disclosed embodiments can be used for computing a sliding velocity limit boundary for a spatial controller. In some embodiments, the disclosed embodiments can be used for teleoperation of a vehicle located in the field of view of a camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Tomahawk Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Matthew D.

Publication number: 20240078763Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for determining three-dimensional locations of objects within a video stream and linking those objects with known objects. An image processing system may receive an image and image metadata and detect an object and a location of the object within the image. The estimated location of each object is then determined within the three-dimensional space. In addition, the image processing system may retrieve, for a plurality of known objects, a plurality of known locations within the three-dimensional space and determine, based on estimated location and the known location data, which of the known objects matches the detected object in the image. An indicator for the object is then generated at the location of the object within the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Tomahawk Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Daniel R. HEDMAN, William S. BOWMAN, Matthew D. SUMMER, Bryce KORTE, Andrew D. FALENDYSZ

Patent number: 8618327Abstract: The present invention relates generally to compounds providing antibacterial therapeutic agents and preparations, and related methods of using and making antibacterial compounds. Antibacterial compounds of the present invention include chalcone, alkylpyrimidine, aminopyrimidine and cyanopyridine compounds and derivatives thereof exhibiting minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) similar to or less than conventional antibacterial compounds in wide use. For example, the present invention provides chalcone and cyanopyridine compounds, and derivatives thereof, exhibiting high antibacterial activities having multiple electron withdrawing group substituents, such as halogens and fluorinated alkyl groups, and optionally having hydroxyl and/or alkoxyl groups substituents.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Helen E. Blackwell, Matthew D. Bowman, Jennifer C. O'Neill, Joseph R. Stringer

Patent number: 7931856Abstract: A method of forming a crankshaft bushing or similar component is provided. A compaction die is provided having an axial, generally cylindrical internal opening. An upper and a lower punch are provided with exterior surfaces corresponding to the internal opening of the compaction die. An upper core rod passes through an axial opening in the upper punch. A lower core rod passes through an axial opening in the lower punch. The upper core rod and the lower core rod each may have a generally flat external surface section. A metal powder is compacted in the compaction die by the combined action of the upper and lower punches and the upper and lower core rods.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Burgess-Norton Mfg. Co., Inc.Inventors: John Engquist, Bret E. Viant, Mark R. Haas, Kurt Kujawski, Matthew D. Bowman, Kevin J. Skibinski

Patent number: 6267574Abstract: A press for making compacts out of raw material such as metal powder is disclosed. The press includes a removable picker system. The picker system has an elongate guide rail element and a gripper assembly fixed to a slide mounted on the guide rail. The gripper assembly may move toward and away from a die in the press platen to pick up and move a compact that has been ejected from the die. The gripper assembly has gripper arms and gripper fingers that move toward and away from a central vertical longitudinal plane that runs through the center of the die. The guide rail provides the sole support for the gripper assembly, and the guide rail is offset from the central vertical longitudinal plane. The picker system allows access to the die for inspection, cleaning or changing of the die without removing the picker system; the gripper assembly can be moved down the guide rail element away from the die to provide access to the die.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1999Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: AMSTED Industries IncorporatedInventors: Matthew D.
