    'Impact-Protection Safety Device For A Robot' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240025060)

    113-117页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent application by the inventor Volk, Wolfgang (Frensdorf, DE), filed on December 8, 2021, was made available online on January 25, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG (Herzogenaurach, Germany). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “A generic impact-protection safety device is known, for example, from DE 36 05 505 A1. The known safety device has a buffer or damping mechanism to be arranged between a swivel arm and a working arm of a robot. If an impact force acts on the working arm during operation of the robot, it is intended to be absorbed by the buffer mechanism, wherein a sensing switch, which is part of the safety device, gives a signal to immediately stop the operation of the robot. “A plate of the impact-protection safety device according to DE 36 05 505 A1 that is connected to the swivel arm of the robot is referred to as a “stationary plate”. Compared to the so-called stationary plate, a movable plate, which is attached to the working arm of the robot and is also to be assigned to the impact-protection safety device, can be displaced to a limited extent. A conical guide part is screwed to the movable plate and engages in a guide hole located in the stationary plate. In the stationary plate there are also a plurality of through holes, in each of which a peg can be displaced. Each of these pegs is fixed to a piston located on the opposite side of the stationary plate to the movable plate. Each piston simultaneously contacts a depression in the surface of the movable plate. If the movable plate is displaced in the direction of the stationary plate, the pegs, which are not rigidly attached to the movable plate and thus also allow relative rotations between the two plates, push the piston away from the stationary plate. This movement of the piston is counteracted by compression springs, which directly load the piston. In addition, the piston can be loaded with compressed air in the effective direction of the springs.

    Patent Application Titled 'System, Method, And Process For Detecting Feature Requests Indicating A Security Risk' Published Online (USPTO 20240028301)

    121-123页
    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors ARNON, Brit (Tel Aviv, IL); David, Gil (Herzliya, IL); Eldar, Yonatan (Tel Aviv, IL); Plotnik, Idan (Herzliya, IL); Shalom, Eli (Tel Aviv-Yafo, IL), filed on July 20, 2023, was made available online on January 25, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Developing features also requires dealing with non-functional aspects of these features, such as security, compliance, and more. The non-functional aspects may require additional effort, a more careful design, a testing plan, legal coordination, and more. Many of these aspects are not part of the development team’s expertise and not even part of the team’s awareness. If the development team does not address those nonfunctional aspects at some phase of development, they will not be able to effectively mitigate the potential risks. If the potential risks are not mitigated at any phase of development, the risks may materialize, and cost the organization time, money, perception of competence and/or even legal repercussions. If at some point the risk materializes, or the risk is discovered and needs to be mitigated, a much greater effort will be required compared to having mitigated the potential risk at an early stage/during development. Since the development of the functional aspects of the features has already been done at this early stage, the non-functional aspects of implementation are likely to require adjustment of the original work. That rework will be costly, at least, in time and money, and essentially could have been avoided.

Patent number 11881039 is assigned to Axon Enterprise Inc. (Scottsdale, Arizona, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Video and still cameras affixed to stationary structures are sometimes used for purposes of security surveillance. In a stationary installation, the camera is typically in an environment with known external variables (e.g., environmental, lighting, field of view) that are generally constant or readily apparent. In such an environment, basic cameras with minimal enhancements might suffice. “Meanwhile, in police cars, taxis, crowdsourced ride-sharing vehicles, and even personal vehicles, cameras mounted on a dashboard are sometimes used for purposes of recording the environment in the immediate proximity of the vehicle. However, in a vehicle moving at high speeds, the capabilities of a traditional camera to capture video and still images can sometimes be compromised. Moreover, external variables can sometimes further negatively impact the ability for the camera to capture sharp, useful images.

    Patent Application Titled 'Network Slice Dynamic Congestion Control' Published Online (USPTO 20240031862)

    135-138页
    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors LINS, Silvia (Indaiatuba, BR); SILVA, Pedro Henrique Gomes Da (Sao Paulo, BR); SOUZA, Ricardo da Silva (Indaiatuba, BR), filed on October 9, 2020, was made available online on January 25, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Network congestion can happen when network nodes or links are not capable of carrying all traffic generated by transmitting nodes. In the face of network congestion, a congestion control mechanism (also referred to herein as a congestion control process) may be necessary, otherwise the network may collapse and there may be packet losses as well as delays that exponentially increases. A congestion control is a process where sender node as well as relay nodes between sender and receiver control their rate of transmission to achieve an optimal or improved network-wide allocation of resources (e.g., network throughput). In mobile networks such as fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) networks, transport networks can be highly affected by network congestion since traffic is based on Internet Protocol (IP) flows. While optimizing or improving congestion control in a network, multiple objectives may be pursued to achieve a desired global optimum or improved point of operation. Examples of different objectives and tradeoffs include fairness, aggregated throughput, latency, etc.”
