Control method of man machine interaction mechanical arm

The invention provides a control method of a human-machine interaction mechanical arm, which relates to a safe control method of a mechanical arm working under an unknown environment and solves the problem that an operator accidentally injured due to failure of the existing mechanical arm to accurately model the working environment when the mechanical arm works in close contact with the operator. A mechanical arm controller of the invention collects a joint position in a real time manner by a joint sensor and transforms the joint position q to a Descartes position x by the positive kinematics, and calculates the real-time trajectory planning xpg which is provided with a feedback of the Descartes force; the mechanical arm controller also collects the torque Tau by the joint sensor in a real time manner, calculates the expected torque Taur by Descartes impedance control, and calculates the input torque Taum of the mechanical arm joint by the dynamic compensation of a motor. The control method can effectively detect the force from each joint of the mechanical arm; when contacting an object, the mechanical arm can carry out a soft contact; when a collision happens, the mechanical arm can ensure that the contact force from each direction is within the range of the expected force, thus ensuring the safety of the mechanical arm and the operator.

Spheno-temporal bone conduction communication equipment and/or hearing aid equipment

InactiveUS20110224481A1Eliminating external noise interferenceImprove ease of useNon-optical adjunctsDeaf-aid setsEngineeringBone conduction hearing
A spheno-temporal bone conduction communication equipment and/or hearing aid includes a system device, a bone skin conduction oscillator and a carrier device for supporting said abovementioned devices. The carrier device has a structural body, and the structural body allows the supported bone skin conduction oscillator in close contact with the spheno-temporal bone. The bone skin conduction oscillator contains a transducer, and the transducer converts an electrical signal into an acoustic oscillating wave and transmits the acoustic oscillating wave into the inner ear via spheno-temporal bone, or receives an acoustic oscillating wave produced by vibration of the skull when speaking and converts it into an electrical signal. The equipment implements bone conduction transmission of the acoustic oscillating wave via spheno-temporal bone, and can be used in bone conduction speaker, bone conduction microphone, bone conduction multimedia device, bone conduction hearing aid device or bone conduction communication device. The equipment can be used with a nasal bone conduction device, can avoid the defect of much external noise when using air conduction mode and overcome shortcomings of the structure easy to slide and inconvenience to add the component when using commonly used bone conduction.

GFCI without bridge contacts and having means for automatically blocking a face opening of a protected receptacle when tripped

Located within a GFCI is a movable contact bearing arm which cooperates with at least one fixed contact. When the movable arm is moved up to allow the at least one contact on the arm to close with at least one fixed contact, the GFCI is in a conducting state and current flows from a source of electricity through the closed contacts to a load and to the contacts of a receptacle. When the movable arm is moved down to open the contacts, the GFCI is in a non-conducting state and current cannot flow from the source of electricity to either the load or the receptacle contacts. In this invention, the up and down movement of the movable contact bearing arm is harnessed to move a blocking member located within the housing of the GFCI to a first position to block at least one opening of the receptacle as the movable arm is moved down or to a second position to allow the prongs of a plug to enter the openings of the receptacle as the movable arm is moved up. The downward movement of the movable contact bearing arm occurs when the GFCI goes into a non-conducting state. Resetting the GFCI by pressing in and then releasing a reset button causes the movable contact bearing arm to move up to make contact with the at least one fixed contact. As the movable arm moves up, the blocking member moves to the first or non-blocking position to allow the prongs of a plug to freely enter the openings in the face of the receptacle. GFCI's normally have two separate sets of internally located contacts known as bridge contacts where one set is used to connect a load to the source of electricity and the second set is used to connect a user accessible load to the source of electricity. The bridge contacts provide isolation between the conductors to the load and the conductors to the contacts of the GFCI receptacle when the GFCI is in a non-conducting state. In the GFCI here disclosed, the blocking member prevents the prongs of a plug from entering the receptacle when the GFCI is in a non-conducting state and, therefore, the need for the bridge contacts is diminished.
