Systems and methods for treating an aneurysm in accordance with embodiments of the present technology include intravascularly delivering an occlusive member to an aneurysm cavity via an elongated shaft and transforming a shape of the occlusive member within the cavity. The method may include introduction of an embolic element to a space between the occlusive member and an inner surface of the aneurysm wall. In some embodiments, the elongated shaft is detachably coupled to a distal portion of the occlusive member.

A vehicle disassembly system for disassembling a vehicle by moving the vehicle through a plurality of discrete workstations specifically adapted for select de-pollution and dismantling procedures encountered during the end-of-life vehicle recycling process. A vehicle disassembly system exemplifying the principles of the present invention may comprise a primary de-pollution and disassembly line and an engine disassembly line. The primary de-pollution and disassembly line may include one or more de-pollution stations, one or more intermediate, part removal stations, and a conveyor apparatus for transmitting the end-of-life vehicle from the de-pollution stations to the part removal stations. The engine disassembly line may include an overhead track support frame, a trolley assembly, one or more height adjustable loading tables, one or more height adjustable work tables, and one or more height adjustable un-loading tables. The vehicle disassembly system may also comprise an engine cleaning apparatus positioned proximate to the height adjustable un-loading tables of the engine disassembly line.

The invention relates to a system and method for the robotic and automated, coordinated, collaborative changing of mill liners, the configuration thereof allowing the full robotic and automated manipulation of the method, by means of a remote command entered by an operator by means of a processor of a control system. The system of the invention comprises: at least one robotic manipulator (2) located outside of the mill; at least one robotic manipulator (3) located inside the mill; a control system; and a series of tools that are taken and manipulated automatically by the robotic manipulators (2, 3), such that the control system sends a command to operate the at least one external manipulator (2) and the at least one internal manipulator (3) to carry out the steps of changing at least one liner of the mill in a coordinated manner with collaboration between at least the two robotic manipulators.

A control apparatus causes a robot device to move a suction head to a predetermined position at which a workpiece is fed and attempt to pick up the workpiece with the suction head at the predetermined position. Upon determining that the suction head has yet to pick up the workpiece, the control apparatus causes the robot device to rotationally move the suction head spirally in a horizontal direction while causing the suction head to perform a suction operation for the workpiece, and estimates a direction in which the workpiece is located with respect to the predetermined direction based on a change in compressed air pressure during the rotational movement of the suction head.

The invention relates to a device or tool (1) for gripping a liner in order to carry out a method of removing same from, and installing same in, the shell of a mill, which comprises a rigid structure or frame (2) forming a support for containing the components needed for the operation thereof, a coupling element (6) that allows the device to be secured or disposed on at least one end of a manipulation device, such as a robotic manipulator, comprises at least one claw or pincer (7) for holding at least one bolt by the head, the tool being designed to allow the adjustment of the relative position thereof in order to align the pincers to the positions of the holes of each liner, the at least one pincer (7) having a configuration allowing said claws to open and close so as to adjust the size thereof to the size of the bolt being gripped, wherein the at least one pincer or claw (7) has at least one sensor, thereby enabling mill liners to be installed and removed, the tool being based on the fastening elements that hold the liners in position.

An insertion tool may be utilized for placement of a seal into a groove of a component. The insertion tool may comprise a base and a seal lifting portion. The seal lifting portion may comprise a surface configured to selectably engage with a seal to move the seal between a lifted position and an unlifted position within an associated groove of a component. The surface of the seal lifting portion may be configured to continuously move the seal between the lifted position and unlifted position. The seal may have a first height h.sub.1 and a second height h.sub.2, wherein h.sub.2 may be less than h.sub.1. The seal may be stretched to h.sub.2 in the lifted position and returned to h.sub.1 in the unlifted positioned in the associated groove of the component.

A handling device for servicing a piston with a small end attached to the piston via a piston pin, having a basic frame, a receiving device that is pivotable or tiltable relative to the basic frame for the piston removed from an internal combustion engine, an actuator for pivoting or tilting the receiving device relative to the basic frame, and a locking device via which the receiving device is lockable on the basic frame in different pivot positions or tilting positions.
