| 20090102407 | POWER TOOL, DRIVE ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A power tool including a drive assembly including a first clutch assembly having an engaged configuration, in which the first clutch assembly transfers a drive force from a motor shaft to a spindle, and a disengaged configuration, in which the first clutch assembly prevents the transfer of the drive force. The first clutch assembly can be movable toward the disengaged configuration when a torque exerted on the spindle exceeds a torque limit. The drive assembly can also include a second clutch assembly having an engaged configuration, in which the second clutch assembly transmits the drive force from the motor shaft to the spindle, and a disengaged configuration, in which the second clutch assembly prevents the transmission of the drive force. The second clutch assembly can be movable toward the engaged configuration when the tool element engages a workpiece. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20110156328 | INTEGRAL RETAINER TO RETAIN A SPRING - A power, motor, or clock spring featuring an integral retainer that prevents the spring from returning to its relaxed state. The integral retainer includes at least two of the coils of the spring being bonded together either through direct bond or via a welding material. The formation of an integral retainer in which the bonded coils of the spring itself acts as the retainer, creates a power spring that is easier and safer to handle and less expensive to create. The bond can be located only at the outermost point of the spring bonding the two outermost coils together adjacent an outer hook of the power spring. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100039120 | Hardware in the loop motor simulation - A simulator system is connected to simulate the connection of a mechanically loaded motor to a motor controller/driver. The simulator system includes a current transformer circuit for monitoring AC output currents provided by the motor controller/driver. A simulation controller calculates, based on the monitored AC output currents, dynamic load voltages that simulate the response that would be generated by a mechanically loaded motor based on the AC output currents provided by the motor controller/driver. A number of power supplies amplify the dynamic loading calculated by the simulation controller to generate a dynamic loading that opposes the AC output currents provided by the motor controller/driver. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20110169443 | MOTOR DRIVE LOAD DAMPING - An electric power supply system has a power bus for providing DC power, and a control unit for a source of power to supply the power bus. The power unit includes a damping algorithm to provide damping to power supplied on the power bus. A motor and a motor control include a compensation block for tapping power from the bus, and identifying a portion of a supplied signal due to the damping. The compensation block provides a signal to a summing block that addresses the damping on the power bus prior to the power being supplied to the motor. A method of utilizing such a system is also disclosed. | 07-14-2011 |
