    摘要: There is disclosed a system and methods of use for quickly and efficiently excavating, cross-cutting, splitting, and loading or stockpiling tree stumpage and other tree or organic materials, as well as for performing ground cleanup operations. One embodiment provides a stump harvester for attachment to a distal end of an excavator arm. The stump harvester may include front and back jaw assemblies configured to pivot between open and closed positions. The back jaw assembly may include a knife arm having a cutting blade that extends along a majority of a front side of the knife arm. A centerline plane may bisect a cutting edge of the blade. The front jaw assembly may include a planar-aligned dual anvil configured to sheath the cutting edge of the blade when the front and the back jaw assemblies move into the closed position. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A container raising/lowering conveyance apparatus has a supporting structure (a secondary traveling body) which supports four gripping raising/lowering bodies capable of being raised and lowered, and has an X-direction drive means by which the four gripping raising/lowering bodies are moved closer to and away from each other synchronously and symmetrically with respect to a Y-direction center line and a Y-direction drive means by which the four gripping raising/lowering bodies are moved closer to and away from each other synchronously and symmetrically with respect to an X-direction center line. Both the X-direction drive means and the Y-direction drive means are used to enlarge and shrink a right-angled parallelogram surrounded by the four gripping raising/lowering bodies, without changing the center position and the orientation of the right-angled parallelogram.

    摘要: A subsea connector system (10) for providing a connection with a subsea well component comprises a latch assembly (14) defining a through bore and a latch member (18) mounted on the latch assembly. A mandrel (20) extends through said bore of the latch assembly, wherein the mandrel and the latch assembly are axially and rotatably moveable relative to each other in a predefined relative movement sequence to operate the latch member and configure the connector system between connected and disconnected configurations. The connector system also comprises a conveyance connector (22) for providing a connection between a conveyance member (24) and the mandrel such that a conveyance member may permit an axial movement component of the predefined movement sequence. A rotation interface (26) is mounted on one of the mandrel and the latch assembly such that a subsea manipulator may permit a rotational movement component of the predefined relative movement sequence.

    摘要: A lift assembly for use during inflation of a balloon envelope is provided. The lift assembly includes a plate structure that has a set of cavities. Each cavity includes one or more openings passing through the plate. One or more pistons are coupled to the plate through at least one of the openings of each cavity in the set of cavities. Each piston has a hollow tube portion projecting lengthwise from the at least one opening, a flange attached to the hollow tube portion and a grabber portion in communication with the flange. The grabber portion includes a plurality of bearings for grabbing a stud attached to an apex of the balloon envelope. A handle portion is coupled to the plate. The handle is arranged to lift the balloon envelope when the bearings have grabbed a given stud.

    摘要: A robot system includes a multi-jointed robot, a syringe actuator which pulls and pushes a plunger of a syringe having a needle; and a controller which controls the multi jointed robot to handle a vessel storing a liquid and the syringe and controls the syringe actuator. The controller includes a first control module which controls the multi-jointed robot such that the needle of the syringe punctures a cap of the vessel, a second control module which controls the syringe actuator such that the air in the syringe is sent into the vessel by pushing the plunger in a state where the vessel is positioned on an upper side of the syringe and a tip portion of the needle is positioned on an upper side of the liquid in the vessel after the first control module controls the multi-jointed robot, and a third control module which controls the syringe actuator such that the liquid in the vessel is absorbed through the needle by pulling the plunger in a state where the tip portion of the needle is positioned in the liquid in the vessel after the second control module controls the syringe actuator.
