    摘要: Methods for recording, reproducing, modifying, and displaying image information. An electro-optical scanner, such as a camera, scans an image field and generates signals that vary in accordance with variations in the optical characteristics of the matter and objects in the image field scanned. Bit codes define the locations on a recording member of groups of the output electrical signals, such as a frame of image information or an object in the scanned image field. Further codes define desired modifications to be made to such groups of signals, such as alteration of intensity or superimposition. The location codes and the modification codes are applied to the signals representing image information to modify those signals, and the modified groups of information signals are applied to generate a modified image on an electronic viewing screen.

    摘要: A numerical control program in the form of a high-level language on a paper tape (14) is converted in its entirety to a machine language by using a compiler stored in a compiler cassette (19). The converter program is then stored in a RAM area (12) of a numerical control system (numerical control program storage area), and thereafter written as the machine language into a new ROM cassette (18) by writing means such as a ROM writer (17). The ROM cassette (18) is detachable from the numerical control system and can be carried away. For executing a numerical control process, the ROM cassette (18) is attached to the numerical control system, and the numerical control program stored as the machine language in the ROM cassette (18) is transferred to the numerical control system, after which the numerical control program is executed.

    摘要: An automatic manipulator capable of performing various programs and adaptively controlled operations with respect to work including operations on work. Automatic tool changing means are provided wherein the manipulator changes tools with respect to its tool holding fixture, tool head or heads. In one form, a plurality of tools to be used are supported on a rack adjacent the manipulator and the manipulator is automatically operated to effect the uncoupling of one or more tools from its operating head and the coupling of one or more tools with respect to such operating head. In another form, the tools are supported by the manipulator itself and the manipulator is automatically controlled to effect the transfer of tools between its operating head and a storage location for the tools. In a third form, tool heads themselves are automtically changed and received either from storage on the manipulator or adjacent the manipulator. In a fourth form, the tool head is composed of a turret containing a plurality of different tools and manipulating devices, which turret is automatically operated to bring a selected tool or fixture into an operative location on the manipulator.

    摘要: A manipulator has a carriage adapted for free travel movement along a surface and a reversible first motor for driving the carriage. An upstanding support is mounted on the carriage and a manipulation arm assembly is supported for movement on the upstanding support. A reversible second motor drives the arm assembly on the upstanding support. An operating head includes a tool supported at the end of the manipulation arm assembly. A remote control mechanism operates the first and second motors and the operating head at a remote location. A first television camera is supported at the upper end of the upstanding support and adapted to scan a first image field in front of the manipulator. A second camera is supported by the manipulation arm assembly and adapted to scan a second image field including the operating head and an article to be operated on by the operating head. Video signals are transmitted by a transmitting mechanism and received to display picture information defined by the first and second image fields scanned by the first and second television cameras to permit a person operating the remote control mechanism at the remote location to view an area immediately in front of the manipulator, the operating head and an area immediately in front of the operating head. Another feature is directed to a cycle initiating circuit for initiating operation of a program control circuit to cause it to generate command control signals which operate a plurality of motors causing various movements in an article manipulation apparatus. A wireless signal transmitter and wireless receiver circuitry operate with short wave command control signals to effectuate remote control of the manipulation apparatus.
