Robotic and / or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to facilitate preparation of the system for use. One or more kinematic linkage sub-systems may include joints that are actively driven, passive, or a mix of both. A set-up mode employs an intuitive user interface in which one or more joints are initially held static by a brake or joint drive system. The user may articulate the joint(s) by manually pushing against the linkage with a force, torque, or the like that exceeds a manual articulation threshold. Articulation of the moving joints is facilitated by modifying the signals transmitted to the brake or drive system. The system may sense completion of the reconfiguration from a velocity of the joint(s) falling below a threshold, optionally for a desired dwell time. The system may provide a detent-like manual articulation that is not limited to mechanically pre-defined detent joint configurations. Embodiments of the invention provide, and can be particularly well-suited for manual movement of a platform supporting a plurality of surgical manipulators in a robotic surgical system or the like without having to add additional input devices.

A retractable hanger comprising a base member which has recessed mounted therein a hook. The base member is adapted to be securely mounted on the exterior structure with the base member being recessed within the exterior structure. The hook is capable of pivotable movement between a retracted position and an extended position. When in the extended position, the hook is capable of having articles hung thereon. A spring connects to the hook that exerts a bias on the hook to move the hook from the extended position to the retracted position.

Portable wipe dispensers are provided. In one form the wipe dispenser can be used to spray a cleaning liquid onto a wipe being dispensed from the device. Alternatively the outlet may be directed against a surface external to the dispenser.

A light generating flashlight system device utilizes a large centrally located magnet which is mounted to slide past a magnet pickup or current induction wire which may be preferably mounted at a center point of travel in a tubular housing having a tubular chamber through which the magnet travels. A pair of elastomeric dampers are located each at the end of a support system sleeve which is sized to fit within a main housing to stabilize all internal support within a sealed unit. The result is a device which both facilitates the manual movement of the flashlight body so that the magnet slides past the center magnet pickup or current induction wire, and also conserves the residual momentum of the magnet once it has traveled past the magnet pickup or current induction wire by providing a bumper and spring to conserve some of the mechanical energy going in the other direction. Ninety second of manual activation enables about five minutes of illumination. A ready charger is disclosed which uses induction to charge the flashlight system by proximity to the manual charging magnet wire.

Portable wipe dispensers are provided. In one form the wipe dispenser can be used to spray a cleaning liquid onto a wipe being dispensed from the device. Alternatively the outlet may be directed against a surface external to the dispenser.

A spindle drive for a movable component includes a threaded spindle which is rotatable about a spindle axis; a spindle nut which engages the threaded spindle; and a transmission element which can be connected to the movable component, the transmission element being fixed against rotation about the spindle axis and being axially drivable by rotation of the spindle nut. An intermediate element, which is fixed against rotation relative to the spindle nut, extends axially with respect to the threaded spindle and is rotatable relative to the threaded spindle. A drive is connected to rotate one of the intermediate element and the threaded spindle; and the other of the intermediate element and the threaded spindle can be fixed against rotation.

The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, and provides an agricultural seeding device. The agricultural seeding device comprises a mounting frame, a seed hopper, a seed uniform distribution tank, seeding heads and a feeding tank. A rotation shaft is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame, and rotation wheels are coaxially fixedly connected with the rotation shaft. The seed hopper is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame, and is used for holding seeds to be seeded. The seed uniform distribution tank is arranged on the mounting frame and communicates with the seed hopper. The seed uniform distribution tank is used for uniformly distributing seeds. The seeding heads are arranged on the mounting frame in a liftable manner. Seed embedding slots are provided on the seeding heads. The feeding tank communicates with the seed uniform distribution tank. The seeding heads can be slidably inserted into the feeding tank, such that seeds can be led into the seed embedding slots. A lifting plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the seeding heads. At least one rotation wheel used for driving the lifting plate to lift is fixedly arranged on the rotation shaft. A spiral conveyor is rotatably arranged in the seed uniform distribution tank. The spiral conveyor is coaxially fixedly connected with driving wheels. The driving wheels contact the inner walls of the rotation wheels. The device provided by the invention has the advantages of simple structure, good uniformity and high seeding efficiency. The device is energy-saving and environment-friendly.

A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

An exercise device, comprising a multi-layer platform (1), is equipped with a plurality of anchoring elements (3), which can be removably associated with cavities (2) made in the platform (1); said association being made possible by matching surfaces (10b, 30b) interacting with one another, which are located respectively on the cavities (2) and on the anchoring elements (3).
