According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors Denenberg, Scott (Newton, MA, US); Moel, Alberto (Cambridge, MA, US); Sobalvarro, Patrick (Harvard, MA, US); VU, Clara (Cambridge, MA, US), filed on October 3, 2023, was made available online on February 8, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Industrial machinery is often dangerous to humans. Some machinery is dangerous unless it is completely shut down, while other machinery may have a variety of operating states, some of which are hazardous and some of which are not. In some cases, the degree of hazard may depend on the location or distance of the human with respect to the machinery. As a result, many “guarding” approaches have been developed to separate humans and machines and to prevent machinery from causing harm to humans. One very simple and common type of guarding is simply a cage that surrounds the machinery, configured such that opening the door of the cage causes an electrical circuit to place the machinery in a safe state. If the door is placed sufficiently far from the machinery to ensure that the human can’t reach it before it shuts down, this ensures that humans can never approach the machinery while it is operating. Of course, this prevents all interaction between human and machine, and severely constrains use of the workspace.
