  • Biologically-inspired joints and systems and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 10632626
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a biologically-inspired robotic device comprising: a first member; a second member pivotably connected to the first member; one or more actuators; and a coupler/decoupler mechanism (CDC) selectively coupling or decoupling of the one or more actuators to the second member, such that, when the one or more actuators are coupled to the second member, the one or more actuators act to pivot the second member relative to the first member.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for melting and treating waste
    Patent number: 4417529
    Abstract: A method for melting and treating waste to be treated such as waste water treatment sludge and incinerated ash of garbage involves mixing the waste to be treated with an auxiliary fuel in powder, granular or solid form or in the form of mixture thereof which has its own calorie value. Powder coal, coal, coke, waste plastic material, saw-dust, waste paper, carbonized material and used tires can be used as an auxiliary fuel. In addition to the auxiliary fuel, an additive is admixed for adjusting the composition of the waste to have treated so as to be a specific composition ratio.
