摘要： The video image of the end effector (26) and work surface (32) in the vicinity of the end effector is converted into a series of continually generated digitized images (132), which are further processed to detect and track the relative motion between the end effector and the work surface. After calibration (126), whereby an index of coordinates and arm orientation is established for a known positioning of the end effector relative to a known reference feature (28a) on the work surface, the tracking (168) of the motion of the end effector is utilized to continually update the index (104) to indicate the actual coordinate and orientation of the end effector relative to the work surface. The updated index is displayed on a live video monitor (44), and can be used as input to the feedback circuit (94) of the manipulator control system. In another embodiment of the invention, a high resolution monitor (52) displays an image of substantially the entire work surface, and particularly the features of interest, in the nature of a work surface map, and superimposes thereon a visual indication of the location, orientation and movement of the end effector, using the updated index information.

摘要： A safety switch assembly for de-activating a motor vehicle if a user is not positioned on a vehicle seat. The assembly includes a base for mounting a switch, a cover that moves in response to the presence of a vehicle operator on the seat, and an actuator that moves with the cover to open and close switch contacts inside a switch housing. The base is constructed to pass through a cutout in a vehicle seat pan and includes extensions that also pass through the cutout. The projections are inhibited from movement back through the cutout after the base is rotated from an orientation that allows the projections to be inserted through the cutout to an orientation in which the projections overlie the seat pan.

摘要： A system and technique for imaging a subject at a scene overcomes the weaknesses in the existing gain fluctuation techniques by switching the environmental temperature at the scene at a rate sufficiently fast enough to obtain subsequent samples in a time period where the gain has not fluctuated sufficiently to have a negative effect on detection sensitivity. This technique is utilized in conjunction with the method of subsequent subtraction of alternate samples which both reveals the reflectance of the scene and removes gain fluctuation.

摘要： A method for creating visual telepresence for a large number of simultaneous users includes the step of simultaneously and continuously processing sets of images from a plurality of cameras to produce sets of short visual sequences that provide for virtual short movements in the environment. Additional steps include routing these many simultaneous repetitive short sequences to a plurality of user service processes. These short sequences are then composed into continuous video streams that provide convincing visual display of telepresence to many simultaneous users.

摘要： A switch apparatus having a switch housing supporting conductive switch terminals within a switch housing interior. A switch actuator is supported by the switch housing for movement along a travel path to control an actuation state of the switch by selectively shorting the conductive switch terminals. A structure allows the switch housing to be mounted into one of two different thickness mounting panels. The structure includes first and second retainer posts coupled to the switch housing at separate spaced locations along a longitudinal axis of the switch housing. Flexible first leg pairs and second leg pairs extend laterally from the respective retainer posts. The legs can be flexed away from a first position and, after insertion into a panel opening, return to the first position. Each of the legs have bottom portions that contact a mounting panel surface wherein a bottom portion of the first leg is spaced from a wall of the switch housing by a first gap and a bottom portion of the second leg is spaced from the wall of the switch housing by a second gap.

摘要： A seat support platform is pivotally supported on a base member. A rotatable locking element is provided on the platform to selectively lock frame members of a saddle thereonto. The base is adapted to be mounted to a support frame/chassis such as that of a stationary bicycle or the like. A resilient biasing arrangement enables the saddle to move from side to side relative to the base member to enable a user to sway from side to side in a more natural manner when riding on the saddle.

摘要： An automated system and method for location and insertion of a fiber optic end in the ferrule of a hybrid package provides for efficient and accurate alignment. In one embodiment, the fiber is mounted on a fiber chuck that is presented to the package by a micropositioner having four degrees of freedom. These include the three orthogonal cardinal axes (x, y, and z-axes), and a fourth degree of freedom comprising angular rotation &thgr; about the z-axis. Feedback mechanisms may be provided regarding orthogonal and angular positioning in order to optimize coupling efficiency between the fiber optic and the electronic circuit contained in the package. In another embodiment, the fiber chuck includes a longitudinal groove for seating the fiber optic during an alignment procedure. The groove interfaces with a vacuum manifold that serves to secure the optical fiber to the chuck during alignment.

摘要： A mechanical interface between a manipulation system and an optical component in which manipulation system jaws are adapted to engage an optical component at a handle and then deform the component. In some applications, an optical component is translationally or rotationally deformed. In one example, the jaws are moved towards each other in an opposed fashion such that teeth engage the optical component at the handle. Then, the jaws are collectively actuated so that they are moved in substantially the same direction. This results, typically, in the deformation of the optical component so that the optical element held by the optical mounting structure is moved into an improved alignment position. In another example, a V-shaped slot in one of the jaws is used to grasp the optical element, e.g., fiber, to move the element.
