  • Patent number: 11961401
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of detecting a potential event via sensors on a transport, sending data related to the potential event to other transports within a predefined distance, storing the data at the transports and a server, and performing a transport operation response on the transports.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6859683
    Abstract: An integrated robotic cell having robot and series of sensors is able to process a component as desired by an operator using an interactive interface display. The integrated robotic cell includes a robotic arm connected a central processor unit as well as a series of monitors and sensors that thoroughly supervise the operation of the robotic arm and component to verify that there are no errors. The central processing unit is connected to the interface display, which allows the operator to control the operation of the robotic cell. The interface display incorporates a series of threads, with each thread having of a series of sequential processes to be performed by the robotic cell. The operator is thereby able to view and easily control the simultaneous processes being performed in the robotic cell.

  • Patent number: 5633785
    Abstract: A high-performance, high-density integrated circuit component package includes an IC chip having a plurality of IC bond pads and an interconnect substrate overlying the IC chip. The interconnect substrate includes a plurality of I/O surface pads arrayed across a surface of the interconnect substrate. The I/O surface pads are electrically connected to the IC bond pads via a plurality of traces internal to the interconnect substrate. The interconnect substrate further includes at least one layer comprising capacitive, resistive or inductive material integrally formed therein.

  • Patent number: 4875535
    Abstract: Apparatus for driving and steering an invalid chair, or other light wheeled vehicle, comprises a transverse drive transmission shaft (8) with end cones (9 and 10) which contact across the periphery respectively of each of a pair of road wheels (11 and 12). By transverse axial movement of the drive transmission shaft the contact diameter of the cones can be varied and thus the relative speed of the road wheels controlled for differential steering.

  • Patent number: 4177104
    Abstract: Laminate layers, such as a label and its liner, are separated by bending lengthwise-adjacent portions of the laminate end in opposite directions to cause shearing and lengthwise offset between the layers, and then releasing the end, the overall orientation being such that, upon release of the end, a differential in the forces that tend to straighten the layers drives apart the shear-weakened adhesive bond.

  • Patent number: 4114842
    Abstract: The altitude acquisition and control system cooperates in an aircraft flight controller for permitting a previously selected altitude to be quickly captured without excessive acceleration of the craft normal to the flight path, even though the human pilot may have neglected to arm the automatic capture mode of the apparatus until after the time that the automatic capture mode is normally commanded.
