Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Industrial machinery is often dangerous to humans. Some machi nery is dangerous unless it is completely shut down, while other machinery may h ave 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 dist ance of the human with respect to the machinery. As a result, many “guarding” ap proaches have been developed to separate humans and machines and to prevent mach inery from causing harm to humans. One very simple and common type of guarding i s simply a cage that surrounds the machinery, configured such that opening the d oor of the cage causes an electrical circuit to place the machinery in a safe st ate. If the door is placed sufficiently far from the machinery to ensure that th e 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 inter action between human and machine, and severely constrains use of the workspace.
