20110294382 | Device and a method for detecting the danger of a person drowning - A device and a method are disclosed for detecting the danger of a person drowning in a body of water. The device includes a breast belt and a life jacket. The breast belt has at least one physiological condition sensor affixed thereto while the life jacket has an expandable chamber connected to a compressed gas supply via an activating mechanism. As the compressed gas enters the expandable chamber, the life jacket increases in buoyancy. The life jacket also has a water contact sensor, a global positioning system device, first and second body orientation sensors, a transmitter which is capable of sending a signal to a remote receiver, and a control unit capable of receiving real time signals from each of the sensors and evaluating and comparing the real time signals against corresponding ranges of preset acceptable values to determine if the person wearing the life jacket is in danger of drowning. The control unit is capable of forwarding a signal to both the activating mechanism and to the transmitter when a signal from the water contact sensor indicates the person is in the water and the real time signals from the other sensors are outside of corresponding ranges of preset acceptable values. The signal to the activating mechanism opens the compressed gas supply while the signal to the transmitter is relayed to the remote receiver which sounds an audible alarm. | 12-01-2011 |

20080283505 | Welding torch cable strain relief system and method - Conduits exiting from a welding torch handle are supported by a stiffening arrangement to limit the angle or radius of curvature of the conduits and thereby to limit strain and possible damage. The stiffening arrangement may include a stiffener that does not extend completely around the conduits, but is captured in a jacket that may be secured to the torch handle and wrapped around the conduits. Alternatively, an integral stiffener or stiffener assembly may include a tongue-like-stiffener extending from the handle to support the conduits and to limit their radius of curvature as they exit the handle. | 11-20-2008 |
20120248080 | WELDING ELECTRODE STICKOUT MONITORING AND CONTROL - Stickout of a welding electrode wire from a welding torch is determined during welding, and based upon a welding parameter, such as welding current. Different relationships are used for the determination depending upon whether the welding wire is in a short-circuit condition or an arc condition. The stickout may be converted to a standardized unit of measure to make it readily understandable to an operator. The stickout may be logged and associated with other parameters and information, such as workpiece, operator, welding system, date and time. The stickout may be used as the basis for an alarm or a disabling operation. Moreover, the stickout may be provided on a readout for the operator. It may also be used as a basis for controlling a wire feeding apparatus that retracts the welding wire to a desired stickout following a weld. | 10-04-2012 |
