  • Publication number: 20230142249
    Abstract: A nozzle for a laser processing head is provided. The nozzle includes a primary passage disposed in a body of the nozzle. The primary passage is configured to direct a laser beam and a primary fluid from a proximal end of the body to a distal end of the body. The nozzle also includes a set of at least one auxiliary passage disposed in the body of the nozzle and radially offset from a longitudinal axis of the primary passage. A distal portion of the auxiliary passage diverts into two fluid flow passages including (i) a first fluid flow passage configured to direct a first portion of an auxiliary fluid axially forward toward the distal end of the nozzle body, and (ii) a second fluid flow passage configured to direct a second portion of the auxiliary fluid radially inward to mix with the primary fluid in the primary passage.

  • Patent number: 11176628
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a system for providing visual feedback to an associate when stowing packages into containers. As an associate carries a package towards a container, a camera disposed over the container captures an image of the package that a computer vision system uses to identify a barcode on the package. Using the barcode, the system can determine the desired destination of the package and whether the container the associate is approaching is the correct destination of the package. If so, the feedback system can activate a directional light on above the container which outputs a first color (e.g., green), thereby informing the associate that the container she is approaching is the correct container. However, if container is not the correct destination of the package, the directional light outputs a different color light (e.g., red) which informs the associate the container is the wrong destination for the package.

  • Patent number: 10688963
    Abstract: A vehicle that includes in-vehicle controller(s) coupled to an external network transceiver, and configured to register a key fob and/or a mobile device configured as a key fob. The transceiver is configured to communicate autonomously with remote servers to respond to a key fob signal received from the server, which includes an authentication code and a remote control command generated by the key fob and/or mobile device configured as the key fob. In further variations, the key fob is also configured to be paired and/or registered by an external mobile device, by the authentication code, and to generate the remote control command via the mobile device. In response to the key fob signal, the controller(s) autonomously adjust vehicle systems, such as locking or unlocking, arming and disarming a security system, adjusting cabin and/or seat temperature and configuration preferences, as well as other driver vehicle preferences.
