| 20090071281 | Robot arm assembly - A robot arm assembly a base unit with a shoulder assembly rotatably disposed on the base unit. A lower robot arm is pivotably attached to the shoulder assembly. An upper robot arm is pivotably attached to the lower robot arm. The base unit includes a first motor which rotates a main shaft fixed to the shoulder assembly to rotate the shoulder. A second motor in the base unit rotates a second shaft in the shoulder assembly extending through the main shaft to pivot the lower robot arm with respect to the shoulder. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100025964 | TRAILER AND HITCH MECHANISM FOR A ROBOT - A trailer and hitch system for a mobile robot. The trailer includes a front Ackerman steering linkage, a releasable locking mechanism for releasably positioning the Ackerman steering linkage in a turned position to arrest the trailer, a tow bar extending upwardly from the Ackerman steering linkage and terminating in a lunette ring, and spaced skid members extending downwardly and rearwardly. The mobile robot includes a hitch assembly for the lunette ring. The hitch assembly has a frame including a slot for the lunette ring and a guide portion for guiding the lunette ring into the slot, a latch pivotable with respect to the frame and biased to close the slot, and a decoupling mechanism configured to move the latch to release the lunette ring from the slot. A robot arm is maneuverable to engage the decoupling mechanism. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100095799 | End effector for mobile remotely controlled robot - An end effector for a mobile, remotely controlled robot includes first and second fingers; each finger fixed to a gear segment for rotation therewith; and a drive subsystem driving the gear segments and the associated fingers between open and closed positions. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100269679 | Weapon mount - A mobile remotely controlled robot includes a robot platform and a robot arm maneuverable with respect to the robot platform. A housing is configured to be removably mounted to the robot arm. A sleeve is translatable with respect to the housing for receiving a weapon therein. There is a gear rack on the sleeve and a pinion gear, rotatably disposed in the housing, is engaged with the gear rack. A braking subsystem resists rotation of the pinion gear when the gear rack translates upon firing of the weapon. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110100206 | Weapon mount - A weapon mount including a housing through which the weapon translates when fired, a conversion subsystem configured to convert translation of the weapon when fired into rotational motion, and a braking subsystem for resisting rotation of the conversion subsystem. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20080257835 | Device, Method and Apparatus for Performing Separations - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, methods and apparatus for performing separations in which particulates are separated or removed from a fluid stream flowing to a column. In one embodiment directed to a device, the invention includes a body ( | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080264848 | Mobile phase dilution scheme for enhanced chromatography - A method and device for increasing the loading capacity of a chromatography column through dilution of a mobile phase at the head of the column. A strong mobile phase is provided for dissolving a sample. A sample is injected into the strong mobile phase, and subsequently diluted with a weak mobile phase. The resulting sample-containing weak mobile phase is passed through a chromatography column for retention and separation of the components of the sample. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090127177 | POROUS INORGANIC/ORGANIC HYBRID PARTICLES FOR CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATIONS AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION - Novel material for chromatographic separations, processes for its preparation, and separations devices containing the chromatographic material. In particular, the disclosure describes porous inorganic/organic hybrid particles having a chromatographically-enhancing pore geometry, which desirably may be surface modified, and that offer more efficient chromatographic separations than that known in the art. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090209722 | POROUS INORGANIC/ORGANIC HOMOGENOUS COPOLYMERIC HYBRID MATERIALS FOR CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF - The present invention relates to porous inorganic/organic homogenous copolymeric hybrid material materials, including particulates and monoliths, methods for their manufacture, and uses thereof, e.g., as chromatographic separations materials. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100176043 | MOBILE PHASE DILUTION SCHEME FOR ENHANCED CHROMATOGRAPHY - A method and device for increasing the loading capacity of a chromatography column through dilution of a mobile phase at the head of the column. A strong mobile phase is provided for dissolving a sample. A sample is injected into the strong mobile phase, and subsequently diluted with a weak mobile phase. The resulting sample-containing weak mobile phase is passed through a chromatography column for retention and separation of the components of the sample. | 07-15-2010 |
