An industrial robot system includes an end effector connectable to a robot arm, a drive assembly, and a controller. The end effector includes a distal housing, a spindle assembly rotatable about a rotational axis, a drill bit rotatable about the rotational axis, and a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a first light source, a second light source, and a photosensitive array. The first light source produces a first fan of light which is projected as a first line of light on the object surface. The second light source produces a second fan of light, which is projected as a second line of light on the object surface. The photosensitive array detects a first reflection line corresponding to the first line of light and a second reflection line corresponding to the second line of light.

An apparatus, method and computer program product are arranged for receiving information on an operational context of a work machine, detecting at least one beacon signal provided by a beacon associated with equipment attachable to the work machine, the at least one beacon signal including a radio signal broadcasted by the beacon, determining, based on the at least one beacon signal, a proximity status of the equipment, the proximity status relating to a proximity of the equipment to the work machine, determining, based on the operational context of the work machine, at least one criterion for the proximity status of the equipment, and determining, in response to determining that the at least one criterion for the proximity status of the equipment is fulfilled, that the equipment is attached to the work machine.

Lock devices, systems, and methods that can include an internal mechanism to permit backdriven operation and lost motion operation. In one form the lock includes an assembly of parts that includes parts having locating features that can assist in those parts being assembled with other parts of the assembly in a single, relative orientation. Further, lost motion may be utilized to accommodate manual displacement of one or more components that can also be displaceable, in at least certain situations, via operation of a motor. The lock can also include an internal power source capable of driving electronics used to determine handedness of a door.

A semiconductor electronic device structure includes an active area array disposed in a substrate, an isolation structure, a plurality of recessed gate structures, a plurality of word lines, and a plurality of bit lines. The active area array a plurality of active area columns and a plurality of active area rows, defining an array of active areas. The substrate has two recesses formed at the central region thereof. Each recessed gate structure is respectively disposed in the recess. A protruding structure is formed on the substrate in each recess. A STI structure of the isolation structure is arranged between each pair of adjacent active area rows. Word lines are disposed in the substrate, each electrically connecting the gate structures there-under. Bit lines are disposed above the active areas, forming a crossing pattern with the word lines.

A modular automation support system for modular plants includes an engineering support system comprising a control and execution engine configured to: receive data from a monitoring infrastructure of a modular plant and convert that data into semantic data which conforms to a semantic data model; use one or more semantic rules or mechanisms relating the semantic data received from the monitoring infrastructure to services provided by modules of a pipeline of the modular plant to control the pipeline in executing a process.

A smart tool includes a body having a working output. A first controller is disposed within the body and connected to a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors includes at least one camera having a field of view at least partially capturing the working output. A neural network is trained to analyze an image feed from the at least one camera and trained perform at least one of classifying at least one of a working tool and an extension connected to the working output, classifying a component and/or a portion of a component interfaced with the working output, and determining a positioning of the smart tool. The neural network is stored in one of the first controller and a processing unit remote from the smart tool.

The present invention aims to efficiently perform analysis from enormous data by utilizing information other than a device and a variable held by a basic unit. In addition, another object thereof is to extract and report important data from an analysis result of the enormous data. An analysis apparatus includes: a storage section that stores PLC information different from a symbol value among pieces of information associated with a programmable logic controller; an execution engine that repeatedly executes a user program; an acquisition section that acquires operation record data including a plurality of time-series symbol values, the operation record data being collected by execution of the user program; and a processing section that outputs an analysis report obtained by analyzing an abnormal symbol that does not satisfy a normal condition regarding the acquired operation record data based on the PLC information stored in the storage section.

Dynamic prescription interfaces, including systems and apparatuses assisting a dental professional (e.g., dentist) in prescribing one or more dental appliances (e.g., retainers, expanders, etc.). These methods and apparatuses may permit the dynamic display of the dental appliance as the dental professional modifies the prescription, in real-or near-real time.
