  • Patent number: 11426238
    Abstract: A system for automated laser-assisted dermatological treatment is provided, the system comprises a robot arm assembly, comprising a laser head coupled to the robot arm and a controlling unit. The system is configured to remove an undesirable dermatological condition from skin by directing laser energy to a pre-defined skin surface area intended for treatment essentially in an absence of human attendance. A method for real-time controlling an automated laser-assisted removal of undesirable dermatological condition from skin implemented by a system and a computer program product for causing the computer to execute the method are further provided.

  • Patent number: 9744635
    Abstract: A method and a machine for automatically changing a disc tool to a tool holder of an automated machine working with the disc tools is disclosed. The method includes in the disc tool replacement machine: determining that the tool holder is in a replacement area in the disc tool replacement machine; unfastening a fixing member of the tool holder by applying an unfastening force to the fixing member, wherein the fixing member fixes a disc tool to a backing plate of the tool holder through a through hole at a centre of the disc tool; removing the disc tool from the tool holder after said unfastening; inserting a new disc tool to the tool holder; and fastening the fixing member of the tool holder by applying a fastening force to the fixing member, thus fixing the disc tool to the backing plate of the tool holder through the through hole.

  • Patent number: 4389764
    Abstract: A method for punching disc-like lock parts from a metal band or the like and for combining them to form lock mechanism units determining different lock combinations or the like. The punching of the parts to their final form takes place in a series of punching actions carried out by different punching units. Punching of parts having different details is carried out by having the pattern of the series changed for each punching stroke. In a final phase, the punched lock parts are separated from the band and collected in an order determined by a pre-selected combination code.
