20100198543DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SETTING OUT CONTOURS, POINTS OR WORKS AND A GUIDING DEVICE FOR USE THEREWITH - A device, a method and a guiding device for setting out contours, points or works, comprising a computer-controlled measuring device provided with a movable measuring probe and a portable base unit provided with a rotatably supported elongate arm. The measuring probe is connected to the measuring device by means of a cord or a wire via the elongate arm, and the measuring device is provided with sensors for measuring a length or a change in the length of the cord or the wire and rotation of the arm in at least one degree of freedom for providing position data of the measuring probe. A guiding device communicatively connected to the measuring device is designed for providing guidance for positioning the measuring probe for the purpose of reducing a difference between a measured position of the measuring probe and a desired position of the measuring probe in accordance with a contour, point or work to be set out. In an embodiment of the guiding device, the guidance is displayed on a graphic display screen in relation to an image representing the cord or the wire and/or in relation to a determined relative position of the guiding device with respect to the measuring probe and/or the base unit of the measuring device, which makes it easier for a user to work with the device.08-05-2010

20110251004Internal ring sealed chain - Links in industrial chains are connected by pins in bushings. Internal sealing rings in internal annular grooves near ends of bushings prevent inward movement of debris and outward movement of grease past the grooves. Steel internal sealing rings are expanded further into the grooves upon insertion of the pins through the bushings and the steel rings. The steel rings tightly grip the pins and rotate with the pins. Opposite ends of the bushings extend slightly from inside sidebars. Outer conical nitrile seals have collars placed on extended ends of the bushings and have large radiused ends for contacting inner surfaces of outside sidebars that hold the pins.10-13-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080205534Method and system of channel analysis and carrier selection in OFDM and multi-carrier systems - The invention presents a novel method to channel estimation in OFDM systems. The embodiment of this invention is a block of new logic and modifications performed to other components of the system, added to any existing OFDM receiver, which utilizes information available from other blocks as found in the receiver. This logic would improve the units' error rate because of the improved channel quality estimations it makes available. This improvement is made possible because both channel noise data and channel signal data are used in the estimation process. This data goes through a learning process over time and multiple data blocks for further improvements in the quality of the estimate. This improvement is possible without any direct communications with other remote units, but it could be used in a multi-node environment to improve the performance of the system as the whole.08-28-2008
