20160096562 | GROUND ROBOT DRIVE SYSTEM - A ground robot having a main body, two opposing drive systems, a flipper disposed distal to the main body, and a front wheel and a rear wheel, both disposed substantially parallel to the vertical plane and between the inner track and the flipper. The main body has a sagittal plane and two opposing lateral sides. Each drive system having an inner track disposed proximal to the main body. The inner track extends along a corresponding lateral side of the two opposing lateral sides and substantially parallel to a vertical plane of the main body, and is supported by a plurality of inner pulleys. The flipper extending along the corresponding lateral side and substantially parallel to the vertical plane. The flipper has a flipper body, an outer track, and a plurality of outer pulleys supporting the outer track. The diameter of the front wheel and the rear wheel of each of the opposing drive systems ranges between 1.2 to 1.3 times of a diameter of the inner track. | 04-07-2016 |
20150346525 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY BACKLIGHT - A backlight layer to be operatively coupled with an LCD panel, the backlight layer comprising: an illumination source configured to illuminate the LCD panel; a dual-mode infrared filter configured to filter an infrared spectrum of light emanating from the illumination source, wherein: when the dual-mode infrared filter is in an enabled mode, the dual-mode infrared filter is positioned in the path of the light emanating from the illumination source and before the light reaches the LCD panel, thereby filtering an infrared spectrum of the light, and when the dual-mode infrared filter is in a disabled mode, the dual-mode infrared filter is positioned out of the path of light emanating from the illumination source, thereby allowing a complete spectrum of the light to reach the LCD panel. | 12-03-2015 |
20150210327 | GROUND ROBOT DRIVE SYSTEM - A ground robot having a main body, two opposing drive systems, a flipper disposed distal to the main body, and a front wheel and a rear wheel, both disposed substantially parallel to the vertical plane and between the inner track and the flipper. The main body has a sagittal plane and two opposing lateral sides. Each drive system having an inner track disposed proximal to the main body. The inner track extends along a corresponding lateral side of the two opposing lateral sides and substantially parallel to a vertical plane of the main body, and is supported by a plurality of inner pulleys. The flipper extending along the corresponding lateral side and substantially parallel to the vertical plane. The flipper has a flipper body, an outer track, and a plurality of outer pulleys supporting the outer track. The diameter of the front wheel and the rear wheel of each of the opposing drive systems ranges between 1.2 to 1.3 times of a diameter of the inner track. | 07-30-2015 |
20140060943 | TRACKED PLATFORM - A tracked platform, comprising: a main frame having a bottom side and a top side; a plurality of driving wheels mounted on said main frame; a continuous track mounted on said driving wheels; wherein a distance between said continuous track and said bottom side is between 20% and 45% of said driving wheel diameter and said bottom side is essentially concave. | 03-06-2014 |
20130338825 | CARRYING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE SYSTEM AND METHODS - A carrying autonomous vehicle system, comprising: a carrying autonomous vehicle and at least one carried autonomous vehicle. The carrying autonomous vehicle has a main frame and at least one flipper. The carried autonomous vehicle uses at least one flipper to load and/or unload at least one carried autonomous vehicle on the main frame. | 12-19-2013 |
20130270017 | DRIVING FLIPPER WITH ROBOTIC ARM - A driving flipper with a robotic arm and a method for protecting the robotic arm. A robotic platform having a main frame and at least one obstacle climbing flipper with a robotic arm. The robotic arm has a folded mode substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the obstacle climbing flipper. The robotic arm has an operational mode protruding away from the longitudinal axis in an angle of at least 45 degrees. | 10-17-2013 |
20130129194 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF MERGING DEPTH DATA FROM A PLURALITY OF DISPARITY MAPS - A method of merging a plurality of disparity maps. The method comprises calculating a plurality of disparity maps each from images captured by another of a plurality of pairs of image sensors having stereoscopic fields of view (SFOVs) with at least one overlapping portion, the SFOVs covering a scene with a plurality of objects, identifying at least one of the plurality of objects in the at least one overlapping portion, the at least one object being mapped in each the disparity map, calculating accuracy of disparity values depicting the object in each the disparity map, merging depth data from the plurality of disparity maps according to the accuracy so as to provide a combined depth map wherein disparity values of the object are calculated according to one of the plurality of disparity maps, and outputting the depth data. | 05-23-2013 |
