摘要： A wafer handling apparatus having input and output robotic systems directed by a programmed controller. Each system has components including a robot, a twist and rotate, and a carrier and automated carrier rail. The input system is for removing wafers from their wafer pod, placing them in the carrier and transporting them via the rail to a wafer processing area. The output system performs the reverse operation, taking wafers from a carrier following processing and placing them in a pod. Each robot includes a plurality of interconnected, articulated cantilevered arms. The last one of the arms has a wand on one end and a laser emitter detector on the other end, and operates in cooperation with the controller to provide location detection of system components. The controller also includes circuitry for sensing contact of the wand with an object by measuring the increased robot motor torque occurring upon contact. The controller is pre-programmed with approximate physical dimensions of the system components and their relative positions. The controller is additionally programmed to automatically perform a precision calibration/teaching routine to gather more precise location data. The process of precision teaching/calibration begins by placing a pod calibration fixture on a pedestal. The controller then directs the input robot to sense the fixture position, which gives the controller precise data relating to the position of a pod on the pedestal. The robot then senses the position of the twist and rotate components. The process begins by sensing the height of two arms of the twist and rotate, and the controller adjusts the arm heights until they are level. The controller then directs the robot to sense the R and &thgr; dimensions of the twist and rotate, and these precise dimensions are saved in the controller.

摘要： A watering can includes a pump and a snorkel which can be used to draw water out of a vessel and into the watering can. The snorkel device is put into a vessel from which water is to be evacuated and the pump is cranked in order to start the flow of water from the vessel and into the reservoir of the watering can. In some embodiments, the pump is a peristaltic pump which includes a mode where the pump is fully disengaged and fluid may flow freely from the snorkel, through the pump, and into the reservoir of the watering can. This allows the operator to use the pump to start a siphoning process which evacuates the remainder of the water from the vessel without further pumping. When not being used to draw water out of a vessel, the watering can may be used in the ordinary manner.

摘要： A power generating leg, configurable to be coupled to a person's lower limb, comprising a thigh link, a shank link, a knee mechanism, a torque generator, and a power unit. The knee mechanism is connected to said thigh link and said shank link, and configured to allow flexion and extension movements of said thigh link and said shank link relative to each other. The torque generator is configured to generate torque between said shank link and said thigh link. The power unit is coupled to said torque generator, and configured to cause said torque generator to generate torque. When said power unit is in a power regeneration mode, said power unit causes said torque generator to generate a torque that opposes the angular velocity of said thigh link and said shank link relative to each other and said power unit converts a portion of the power associated with the product of said torque and said angular velocity of said shank link and thigh link relative to each other into electrical power to be stored in a storage device.

摘要： A follower apparatus mounted on a track running parallel to an axis of rotation of a spool. The apparatus has a base with a roller mounted thereon and having an axis of rotation parallel to the rotational axis of the spool, the roller providing support and guidance to the material being wound. A pulley is rotatably mounted to receive material from the roller and redirect the direction of material traveled. Light beams and detection apparatus are positioned to detect material excursions to pre-determined off center portions of the roller. The follower positioning apparatus responds to signals detecting the material by repositioning the follower to place the material back on to a center zone of the roller.

摘要： The lower extremity exoskeleton comprises two leg supports connectable to person's lower limbs and configured to rest on the ground during their stance phase. Each leg support comprises a thigh link and a shank link; a knee joint configured to allow flexion and extension between the shank link and the thigh link. The lower extremity exoskeleton further comprises an exoskeleton trunk connectable to the person'supper body. The exoskeleton trunk is connectable to the thigh links of the leg supports allowing for the flexion and extension between the leg supports and the exoskeleton trunk. Two torque generators are coupled to each of the knee joints. A power unit, capable of providing power, is coupled to the torque generators. In operation when a leg support is in a stance phase and climbing a slope or stairs, the power unit injects power into the respective torque generator thereby extending the respective knee angle. When a leg support is in stance phase and not climbing a slope or stairs, the power unit does not inject any power to the respective torque generator, but without dissipating any stored power in said power unit, it forces the torque generator to resist flexion of the respective knee joint. When a leg support is in a swing phase, the power unit does not inject any power to the respective torque generator, but without dissipating any stored power in said power unit, it forces the torque generator to minimize its resistance to knee flexion and extension.

摘要： Briefly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a wafer carrier buffer for storage of a plurality of carriers containing wafers either waiting to be taken for processing in an adjacent wafer processing system, or waiting to be taken from the buffer following the processing. The buffer has a sliding carrier first input apparatus for taking a carrier from outside the buffer through a buffer input door and into the buffer interior. A buffer controller is included for directing robotic apparatus to take the carrier from the input apparatus and place it on a selected one of a plurality of carrier storage locations, and from a carrier storage location to a first output for delivery of wafers to processing. The robotic apparatus also delivers an empty carrier to a second input apparatus for receiving wafers from the processing area, and for delivery of a carrier with processed wafers to a second sliding output apparatus for removal from the buffer through a buffer output door. The controller is programmed to direct an automatic calibration of all of the carrier storage locations and the input and output positions. The robotic apparatus includes a sensor for detecting the position of a flange on a calibration fixture that is placed by the robot at a carrier storage location. The flange is accurately positioned on the fixture to correspond to a similar flange on each carrier that is used to engage with a tool on the robotic apparatus for moving the carrier. The calibration is preferably done by directing the robotic apparatus to place the calibration fixture at a location in need of calibration and then sensing the precise position of the fixture flange with the sensor apparatus. The controller then calculates the coordinates required to place a carrier accurately in that location. This process is repeated for each carrier storage location and the input and output locations.
