Mobile robot with wireless location sensing apparatus
InactiveUS20070061041A1Simple methodBroaden their knowledgeProgramme controlVehicle position/course/altitude controlWeb browserInternet network
A robotic navigation system for computerized mobile robot. Typically the robot, which may be in an unknown location, will have an onboard internet web server, a capability of establishing a first connection to a remote web browser on the internet for robotic control purposes, and a capability of establishing a second short range bi-directional digital radio connection to one or more nearby computerized digital radio equipped devices external to the robot. Typically at least some of these nearby digital radio equipped devices will have a known location. The robot can exchange short-range bidirectional digital radio signals with nearby devices that have a known location, and obtain location data to determine it's position. This location information can be used to assist in robotic navigation. The robot can also navigate to other objects, which also may have an unknown location, using a similar technique in which the object with an unknown location exchanges short range bidirectional digital radio signals with either the robot itself, or other digital radio linked devices with a known location (which then relay the object's location to the robot).

Machine for anticipatory sensing and intervention to avoid swimmer entrapment
A machine for anticipatory sensing and intervention to avoid swimmer entrapment, with an active pre-entrapment sensor (e.g. ultrasonic) that assesses the relative hazard based on swimmer proximity to the drain cover. An Ultrasonic Transducer launches waves into the suction piping and / or drain system, and to receive echoes from the drain cover, swimmer limbs, hair or body, and the water surface parellel to the drain cover. A Transmitter / Pulser electrically energizes the ultrasonic transducer to launch waves into the suction piping and / or drain system, A Receiver / Processor detects the echoes electrical signals from the the ultrasonic transducer and to receive echoes from objects of interest beyond the pool drain. A Logic and Control element converts the detected signals into reliable information regarding a swimmer safety / hazard status. An Output provides a pump shutdown command when required. Solutions for both new construction and retrofit are described.

A modification to allow delivery of a two port medical flow restrictor over a guidewire, and a means to mechanically collapse the new device. A thin walled, foil-like shell, is compacted for delivery. The invention includes the device, delivery assemblies, and methods of placing, and using, the device. A device with an aneurysm lobe and an artery lobe self-aligns its waist at the neck of an aneurysm as the device shell is pressure expanded. Mechanical force collapses both the aneurysm lobe and the artery lobe, captivating the neck of the aneurysm and securing the device. The device works for aneurysms at bifurcations and aneurysms near side-branch arteries. The device, unlike endovascular coiling, excludes the weak neck of the aneurysm from circulation, while leaving the aneurysm relatively empty. Unlike stent-based exclusion, the device does not block perforator arteries. This exclusion device can also limit flow through body lumens or orifices.

Low cost multiple pattern antenna for use with multiple receiver systems
InactiveUS6894653B2Low costImprove performanceAntenna supports/mountingsIndividually energised antenna arraysIntermediate frequencyOmni directional
An antenna assembly includes at least two active or main radiating omni-directional antenna elements arranged with at least one beam control or passive antenna element used as a reflector. The beam control antenna element(s) may have multiple reactance elements that can electrically terminate it to adjust the input or output beam pattern(s) produced by the combination of the active antenna elements and the beam control antenna element(s). More specifically, the beam control antenna element(s) may be coupled to different terminating reactances to change beam characteristics, such as the directivity and angular beamwidth. Processing may be employed to select which terminating reactance to use. Consequently, the radiator pattern of the antenna can be more easily directed towards a specific target receiver / transmitter, reduce signal-to-noise interference levels, and / or increase gain by using Radio Frequency (RF), Intermediate Frequency (IF), or baseband processing. A Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) processing technique may be employed to operate the antenna assembly with simultaneous beam patterns.

A magnetic sensor having at least a first and a second magnetoresistive element being non-parallel provides determination of the direction of a magnetic field. The at least first and second magnetoresistive elements are positioned along at least a first and a second elongated gap each of which separating at least a first and a second closely spaced planar area of soft-magnetic material serving as flux guides. The flux guides provide amplification of magnetic field components being perpendicular to the elongated direction of each gap. A variety of various magnetoresitive elements such as AMR elements or GMR-multilayer systems can effectively be used in order to detect the magnitude and / or the direction of the magnetic field. By appropriately designing the geometry of the flux guides, direction dependent gain factors can effectively be realized. This allows for a large detection range and sensitivity of the magnetic sensor.
