CARRYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18337464 titled 'CARRYING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a carrying device that can detect the presence of a medium and transition between a carrying state and a retreat state. The device includes a sensor, a carrying mechanism, and a processor. When the device is powered off, the processor sets the power off state based on whether the sensor detects the medium or not.

  • The carrying device has a sensor that can detect the presence of a medium.
  • It has a carrying mechanism that can switch between a carrying state and a retreat state.
  • The processor controls the power state of the device based on the sensor's detection of the medium.
  • When the device is powered off, the processor sets the power off state in the retreat state if the sensor detects the medium.
  • If the sensor does not detect the medium, the power off state is set in the carrying state.

Potential Applications

  • This carrying device can be used in automated warehouses or factories to transport and handle different types of materials or products.
  • It can be used in logistics and transportation industries to move goods efficiently.
  • The device can be utilized in healthcare settings to transport medical supplies or equipment.

Problems Solved

  • The carrying device solves the problem of power management by automatically setting the power off state based on the presence or absence of the medium.
  • It eliminates the need for manual intervention to switch between carrying and retreat states.

Benefits

  • The device improves efficiency by automatically transitioning between carrying and retreat states based on the presence of the medium.
  • It reduces the risk of damage to the medium by ensuring it is not carried when the device is powered off.
  • The carrying device simplifies operation and reduces the need for constant monitoring.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is configured a carrying device including a sensor for detecting presence of a medium, a carrying mechanism capable of making the transition between a carrying state capable of carrying the medium and a retreat state incapable of carrying the medium, and a processor, wherein when making the transition to a power-off state, the processor sets power off in the retreat state when the sensor detects the medium, and sets the power off in the carrying state when the sensor does not detect the medium.
