    摘要: A wheeled vehicle comprising a power-driven spider assembly for ascending and descending stairs. The vehicle includes an angular position sensor providing input to a controller operable to control a servo-motor to effectively lock the position of the spider relative to the frame, regardless of the hand truck's spatial orientation relative to a vertical plane, or any balancing of the hand truck. The angular position sensor provides input to the controller, which is programmed with predefined angular zones of instability, and causes the controller to accelerate rotation of the spiders through those zones when the wheeled vehicle is in the descent mode, to avoid instability of the hand truck. A hand truck may include a removable basket and/or a pivotable platform usable to transport loads.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for supplying operating voltages to a plurality of electronic devices is disclosed. A plurality of power supply modules of a modular power supply may output voltages to at least two electronic devices respectively. The apparatus may identify a failure of one of the power supply modules. The electronic device may be disconnected from the failed power supply module, and then reconnected to a functional power supply module of the modular power supply. switching a supplied voltage of the functional power supply module of the modular power supply, wherein the supplied voltage matches the set output voltage of the failed power supply module. If necessary, a supplied voltage of a functional power supply module may be switched to match the set output voltage of the failed power supply module.

    摘要: A robotic, wheeled surveillance vehicle capable of stair-climbing and traversing level surfaces. The vehicle comprises a rigid frame supporting a rotatable axle; an extension on which is mounted at least one surveillance device; a pair of spider assemblies rotatably supported adjacent opposite ends of said axle, each of said pair of spider assemblies supporting a plurality of rotatable wheels coupled to rotate in synchronicity; an inertial sensor supported on said frame in position to measure an angular position of at least one of said pair of spider assemblies relative to said frame; and an electric motor supported on said frame and operatively connected to drive said pair of spider assemblies to rotate. A power source supported on said frame is operatively connected to said electric motor; and a controller supported on said frame and operatively connected to said angular position sensor and said power source causes said electric motor to apply varying rotational torque to said pair of spider assemblies to cause said pair of spider assemblies to maintain a selected angular position of said spider assemblies relative to said frame as a function of input received from said angular position sensor.

    摘要: An electric generator driven by a source of variable energy produces at its output an alternating current (AC) output voltage and current which is converted via controllable active switching circuitry into a direct current (DC) voltage which is stored in an energy storage element. Power losses are associated with the active switching circuit and the AC to DC conversion. The power available at the output of the generator can be determined. If the available power is less than the power losses the controllable switching circuitry is disabled.
