20100251867SAW HAVING A COOLANT SUPPLY - A saw for use with a blade coolant that includes a main body, a blade supported for rotation by the main body, and a drive member coupled to the blade and operable to rotate the blade. The saw further includes a coolant supply that is removably coupled to the main body and configured to store the blade coolant. A valve is coupled to the coolant supply, and the valve includes a valve member movable between an open position and a closed position. The valve member is held in the open position when the coolant supply is connected to the main body of the saw and the valve member is biased toward the closed position when the coolant supply is disconnected from the main body of the saw.10-07-2010

20080240936Portable air compressor - A wheelbarrow compressor is disclosed that includes a base and a first reservoir and a second reservoir having bottom portions located at opposite sides of the base. The base is located below an uppermost surface of the first and the second reservoirs. A handle assembly is attached with a first portion of at least one of the reservoirs and a wheel assembly is attached with a second portion of the at least one of the reservoirs. A pump and a motor are operatively connected with the reservoirs and are disposed on the base and between the reservoirs.10-02-2008
20090277315TILE SAW - A tile saw that includes a base, a frame assembly disposed on the base, a rail assembly disposed on the frame assembly, and a cutting table slidingly disposed on the frame assembly and including a front fence. A saw assembly is disposed on at least one of the base and the frame assembly, and includes a motor and a cutting wheel driven by the motor. One of a miter guide and a bevel block is selectively lockable to the front fence.11-12-2009
20100047085PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR - A wheelbarrow compressor is disclosed that includes first and second reservoirs having first and second portions, a handle assembly attached with the first portion and a wheel assembly attached with the second portion, and at least one first secondary handle and at least one second secondary handle. The at least one first secondary handle is attached to at least one of the reservoirs. The at least one second secondary handle is attached to at least one of the reservoirs. One of the secondary handles is located closer to the second portion than the other of the secondary handles. The handle assembly is not either of the secondary handles.02-25-2010
20100092277FAN INTAKE SHIELD - A power tool includes a housing having an intake aperture, a fan disposed within the housing and operable to draw air through the intake aperture, and a fan intake shield positioned adjacent the intake aperture. The fan intake shield includes a first rib, a second rib adjacent the first rib and spaced from the first rib to define an air flow path into the intake aperture between the first rib and the second rib, and a third rib adjacent the first rib and spaced from the first rib to define an air flow path into the intake aperture between the first rib and the third rib. Each of the first, the second, and the third ribs has a respective height, and the height of the first rib is greater than the height of the second rib and the height of the third rib.04-15-2010
20100149904MIXING DEVICE - A mixing device includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, and an agitator operably coupled to the motor. The mixing device also includes a clamping mechanism operable to secure the housing to an open end of a container. The clamping mechanism includes a backing member engageable with an interior surface of a container, and a movable clamping member engageable with an exterior surface of the container, such that a wall of the container may be grasped or secured between the backing member and the movable clamping member. The mixing device also includes an actuator coupled to the housing and movable between a first position in which the movable clamping member is biased to engage the exterior surface of the container, and a second position in which the movable clamping member is disengaged from the exterior surface of the container, against the bias of the clamping member.06-17-2010
20100290929PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR - An air compressor includes a compressor unit having a motor with a motor housing, a pump operably coupled to the motor and having a pump housing formed as a single piece with a portion of the motor housing, and a first tank fluidly connected to the pump to receive pressurized air from the pump when operated by the motor. The air compressor also includes a tank unit removably coupled to the compressor unit in a stacked arrangement. The tank unit includes a second tank fluidly connected to the pump to receive pressurized air from the pump when operated by the motor.11-18-2010

20100073073MICROPROCESSOR WITH SUBSTRATE BIAS CLAMPS - A microprocessor including a substrate bias rail providing a bias voltage during a first operating mode, a supply node providing a core voltage, a clamp device coupled between the bias rail and the supply node, and control logic. The control logic turns on the clamp device to clamp the bias rail to the supply node during a second operating mode and turns off the clamp device during the first operating mode. The clamp devices may be implemented with P-channel and N-channel devices. Level shift and buffer circuits may be provided to control the clamp devices based on substrate bias voltage levels. The microprocessor may include a substrate with first and second areas each including separate substrate bias rails. The control logic separately turns on and off clamp devices to selectively clamp the substrate bias rails in the first and second areas based on various power modes.03-25-2010
20100073074MICROPROCESSOR WITH SELECTIVE SUBSTRATE BIASING FOR CLOCK-GATED FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS - A microprocessor according to one embodiment includes a supply node providing a core voltage, a functional block, a charge node, select logic, and substrate bias logic. The functional block has multiple power modes and includes one or more semiconductor devices and a substrate bias rail routed within the functional block and coupled to a substrate connection of at least one semiconductor device. The select logic couples the substrate bias rail to the charge node when the functional block is in a low power mode and clamps the substrate bias rail to the supply node when the functional block is in a full power mode. The substrate bias logic charges the charge node to a bias voltage at an offset voltage relative to the core voltage when the functional block is in the low power mode. Semiconductor devices may be provided to clamp or otherwise couple the bias rail.03-25-2010
