| 20090082992 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING POSITIONS OF POINTS TO BE MEASURED - A position determination method for a set of new points to be surveyed, using a geodetic device and reference points whose positions in an absolute coordinate system are known. The position determination is effected by referencing the new points relative to a set of reference points and measurement of the reference points and of the new points in a relative coordinate system for referencing by the geodetic device—relative measured quantities being registered. Furthermore, the new points and the reference points are updated by successive addition in each case of the measured new points and reference points to the set of new points and set of reference points, respectively, and updating the position determination of the new points taking into account all of the respective actual reference points is effected if a specified minimum coefficient of determination for the referencing is ensured by the actual set of reference points. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20080223185 | ATTACHMENT WITH COLLAPSIBLE FRONT END FOR PORTABLE SCREW DRIVING TOOL - An attachment for a portable hand-held screw driving tool is provided for use with collated strips of screws. The front portion of the attachment is movable to a great extent, to thereby allow the tool to drive screws almost directly at the corner of two walls. A front “nose piece” is pressed against one of the walls, which causes the nose piece to move rearward “into” the remainder of the tool, in a “first stage” of movement. A screw is indexed to its drive position, and a drive bit is abutted against the screw head during this first stage. The nose piece is pressed further into the tool, which also causes a “feed tube” to move rearward “into” the remainder of the tool, in a “second stage” of movement, which rotates the screw as it is emplaced into the wall. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20120073410 | DETENTED ADAPTER INTERFACE FOR SCREWDRIVER TOOL ATTACHMENT - An attachment is mated to a power screwdriver by use of an adapter that is first fixed onto the screwdriver. The attachment includes an automatic fastener driver that receives a collated strip of fasteners, and drives them into a working surface. The attachment is mated to the adapter; the attachment contains a radial type of mechanical coupling that can be rotated without dismounting the attachment from the power screwdriver. In this manner, the angular orientation between the attachment and the power screwdriver can be changed “on the fly” by the user. This combination allows the user to keep his or her hands at their operating positions throughout this procedure, thereby allowing the user to re-commence using the combination tool quickly after readjusting the operating angle. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20120061940 | Drive Mechanism and Bicycle Drive System - A drive mechanism effects a rotary power output in response to a reciprocating power input resulting from substantially linear forces applied to the drive mechanism, such as those forces applied by a rider on a bicycle. The drive mechanism includes input bevel gears meshed with corresponding output bevel gears coupled to a common power output shaft through clutches that effect a rotary power output at the power output shaft in response to the reciprocating power input from the substantially linear forces. Opposite crank arms are coupled with the input bevel gears such that each crank arm is advanced by an applied substantially linear force, and is retracted upon advancement of the opposite crank arm. In a bicycle, opposite pedals are coupled to corresponding crank arms and are moved through predetermined power strokes in response to substantially linear forces applied by a rider to effect corresponding rotational movements of the input bevel gears and concomitant rotary power output at the power output shaft. | 03-15-2012 |
