20080256744Motor, fan and filter arrangement for a vacuum cleaner - In a first aspect, the present invention provides a motor, fan and filter arrangement for a vacuum cleaner, comprising: a motor (10-23-2008
20110030164Hand-Held Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - A hand-held vacuum cleaner with a container for the storage of dirt and debris therein. To provide improved efficiency and performance, the hand-held vacuum may employ a primary HEPA filter, a device for swirling a dirt and debris laden air flow and/or a mechanized filter cleaning device. Swirling may be employed to direct entrained dirt and debris in a desired direction relative to the container to slow the rate with which dirt and debris accumulates on the primary filter and/or to centrifugally remove dirt and debris from the air flow. Mechanized cleaning is employed to shake, scrape or otherwise remove accumulated dirt and debris from the primary filter.02-10-2011

20090260179Vacuum Cleaner - A portable vacuum cleaner having a fan which draws air inwards through inlet duct and inlet to coarse filter element. Larger dirt particles are trapped within coarse filter element, and the filtered air passes through fine filter element and into fan, where it is expelled through outlet duct and outlet aperture. A cleaning member mounted on the coarse filter element that engages the fine filter element so that upon remove of the coarse filter element, the cleaning member slides along the fine filter element removing particles thereon.10-22-2009
20100048101MULTI-SANDER - A tool for moving an abrasive media can include a tool body and a drive system housed in the tool body. The drive system can include an output member. A retaining member can be disposed on the tool body. A first platen having a first attachment hub can be selectively coupled with the retaining member in an installed position The first platen can have a first rotatable member that selectively attaches to the output member in a first mode of operation. A second platen having a second attachment hub can selectively couple with the retaining member in an installed position. The second platen can have a second rotatable member that selectively attaches to the output member in a second mode of operation.02-25-2010
20100048109SANDER HAVING REMOVABLE PLATEN - A tool for moving an abrasive media. The tool includes a tool body, a platen, a drive system and a retaining knob. The platen has an exterior platen surface and a knob aperture that is formed through the exterior platen surface. The drive system is housed in the tool body and configured to move the platen. The drive system includes an output member with a first threaded portion. The retaining knob is received through the knob aperture in the exterior platen surface of the platen. The retaining knob has a knob portion, which has an exterior surface, and an attachment member with a second threaded portion that is threadably coupled to the first threaded portion. The platen surface and at least a portion of the knob surface are co-planar. A related method is also provided.02-25-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090161562SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCALABLE AND RAPID ETHERNET FAULT DETECTION - The present invention provides scalable and rapid Ethernet fault detection which eliminates the requirement to contiguously send heartbeat frames at regular intervals to detect connectivity faults for each Ethernet Path. The present invention generates Continuity Check Message (CCM) frames only when a fault occurs, continues generating CCM frames while the fault remains, and discontinues when the fault clears. The present invention can be utilized with Ethernet Protection Switching to rapidly detect faults. Additionally, the present invention can be used in any Ethernet topology including point-to-point, rings, and the like.06-25-2009
