DRIVE ADAPTER FOR TOOL-FREE MOUNTING OF A DRIVE ELEMENT ON A RAIL ELEMENT OF A GUIDE SYSTEM

A drive adapter for tool-free mounting of a drive element on a rail element of a guide system includes a drive carrier and a holding section. The drive carrier includes a mounting means for a drive element. The holding section includes two support surfaces and a holding ridge which connects the support surfaces at least in sections and defines a distance between the support surfaces. The two support surfaces are either each convexly curved, face away from one another and configured such that they can be clamped between two rolling element running surfaces of the rail element which face one another, or each concavely curved, face toward one another and configured such that they can be clamped onto two legs of the rail element and carry rolling element running surfaces which face away from one another.

Tool changing system with rigidity improved belt moving mechanism
11512764 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A tool changing system with rigidity improved belt moving mechanism includes a pedestal, a sliding base, a driving unit, a positioning belt, and a transmission belt. The sliding base is disposed on the pedestal, and reciprocatively moves along a linear direction. The driving unit is disposed on the sliding base. The positioning belt and the transmission belt are disposed on the pedestal and include a gear rack, respectively. A detouring section of the transmission belt is separated from the positioning belt, and transmissibly meshed with the driving wheel of the driving unit. When the driving wheel rotates, the detouring section is driven to continuously shift on the transmission belt, and the sliding base is simultaneously driven to slide on the pedestal along the linear direction. Thus, a combination of the positioning belt and the transmission belt achieves an improved rigidity.

A method of aligning a focused light beam receptor, focused light beam generator and a movable alignment stand relative to a centerline of a vehicle is also provided.

Portable grills

Portable grills are disclosed. An example portable grill includes a frame, a leg unit, and a leg latch assembly. The leg unit is coupled to the frame. The leg latch assembly includes a post rigidly coupled to the leg unit, and a swing plate pivotally coupled to the frame. The swing plate includes an opening to receive the post when the portable grill is in a collapsed configuration. The opening includes a first post-receiving portion having a first diameter, and a second post-receiving portion having a second diameter less than the first diameter. The swing plate is pivotable to selectively locate the post in the first post-receiving portion or the second post-receiving portion. The swing plate is separable from the post when the post is located in the first post-receiving portion, and inseparable from the post when the post is located in the second post-receiving portion. The leg latch assembly latches the leg unit in a fixed position relative to the frame when the post is located in the second post-receiving portion, and unlatches the leg unit from the fixed position when the post is located in the first post-receiving portion.

OPTICAL CAMERA POSITIONING TOOL

A system and method may be used to position or orient a camera within a surgical field. A method may include generating a graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera, and determining whether the camera is within a target volume location. The method may include automatically outputting an indication when the camera is within the target volume location. The method may include outputting a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser, coupled to or integrated into the camera, to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera

GENERATING ENVIRONMENTAL MAP BY ALIGNING CAPTURED SCANS
20220365217 · 2022-11-17 ·

A method for performing a simultaneous location and mapping of a scanner device in a surrounding environment includes capturing a scan-data of a portion of a map of the surrounding environment. The scan-data comprises a point cloud. Further, at runtime, a user-interface is used to make, a selection of a feature from the scan-data, and a selection of a submap that was previously captured. The submap includes the same feature. The method further includes determining a first scan position as a present position of the scanner device, and determining a second scan position as a position of the scanner device. The method further includes determining a displacement vector for the map based on the first and the second scan positions. Further, a revised first scan position is computed based on the second scan position and the displacement vector. The scan-data is registered using the revised first scan position.

Calibration system and calibration bracket

The present invention relates to the field of vehicle correction, and provides a calibration system and a calibration bracket thereof. The calibration bracket includes: a base, a stand assembly and a beam assembly. The stand assembly is fixedly connected to the base. The beam assembly is supported by the stand assembly, and includes a beam, the beam being configured to mount a calibration element and including a left beam portion, a right beam portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being supported by the stand assembly, one end of the connecting portion being pivotally connected to the left beam portion, and the other end of the connecting portion being pivotally connected to the right beam portion. In the foregoing structure, the left beam portion and the right beam portion can respectively rotate toward each other relative to the connecting portion, to fold the beam assembly, so that a volume of the calibration bracket can be reduced to facilitate shipment.
