| 20090064810 | TRANSMISSION AND VARIABLE RADIALLY EXPANDING SPRING CLUTCH ASSEMBLY - A transmission generally includes a shaft member having a continuous cylindrical surface portion longitudinally disposed next to a cylindrical outer surface portion interrupted by longitudinal grooves. A first gear assembly has a first clutch spring that holds a first set of rolling members between lobes that extend from a first output gear. A second gear assembly has a second clutch spring that holds a second set of rolling members between lobes that extend from a second output gear. The first gear assembly and the second gear assembly are configured to move longitudinally along the shaft member to a position where at least one of the first gear assembly and the second gear assembly is engaged for rotation with the shaft member when a value of torque at the shaft member is below a torque threshold value. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100107423 | HANDLE AND ATTACHMENTS FOR RIGHT ANGLE DRILL - A power tool can utilize a handle that engages with a large portion of the housing and can distribute the stresses incurred by the handle over a larger area. The handle of the power tool can be a stick handle or a guard handle. The handle may be utilized to position sensors therein at positions that are remote from the working bit of the power tool. Accessory handles, such as a bail handle and a side handle, can be mounted to a single set of machined passages on the housing. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100108337 | COMPLIANT SHIFTING MECHANISM FOR RIGHT ANGLE DRILL - A compliant shifting mechanism can change the operation of a power tool between first and second operating conditions. The shifting mechanism can provide two distinct forces on a gear set during movement of the gear set between the two operating conditions. The shifting mechanism can provide a user with a tactile sensation of the completion of the transition between the two operating conditions without the gear set completing the full transition. A shifting mechanism can automatically complete the change between operating conditions, regardless of an alignment between the gear set and another component. The two distinct forces can be a torsional resistance force and a bending resistance force. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100276244 | Transmission and Variable Radially Expanding Spring Clutch Assembly - A transmission generally includes a shaft member having a cylindrical outer surface in which longitudinal grooves are formed. Rolling members are disposed in the longitudinal grooves. A gear member having lobes the lobes is disposed between the rolling members and over the shaft member. A clutch spring that at least partially encircles the rolling members and the lobes is also disposed. The clutch spring includes a reduced torque condition that at least defines the clutch spring stretching to accommodate the rolling members leaving the longitudinal grooves and moving to the outer cylindrical surface such that the clutch spring forms a generally elliptical shape in the reduced torque condition. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090291049 | Targeted delivery to human diseases and disorders - The present invention provides a system presenting site-specific accumulation through a ligand that specifically targets a receptor overexpressed on the surface of specific cells within a target organ, like, for example, tumor cells and/or vascular cells of tumor blood vessels. Moreover, this invention provides a method where, upon internalization of the previous-mentioned system by the target cells, triggered release at a high rate of the associated agent takes place, permitting efficient intracellular delivery and, thus, increased concentration of the transported cargo at the target site. Overall, this invention provides a method for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human diseases and disorders. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20120082650 | METHODS FOR TREATING PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND OTHER DISORDERS OF DOPAMINERGIC NEURONS OF THE BRAIN - A specific clinical protocol for use toward therapy of defective, diseased and damaged neurons in the mammalian brain, of particular usefulness for treatment of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease. The protocol is practiced by directly delivering a definite concentration of a nerve growth factor via delivery of the protein, an expression vector operably encoding the nerve growth factor, or grafting a donor cell containing such an expression vector into the substantia nigra and preferably also the striatum. The method stimulates growth of targeted neurons, and reversal of functional deficits associated with the neurodegenerative disease being treated. | 04-05-2012 |

| 20090091269 | High Frequency Pulsed Supply For Discharge Lamps - The HIGH FREQUENCY PULSED SUPPLY FOR DISCHARGE LAMPS describes electronic converters for discharge lamps with high frequency pulsed current stabilization. A voltage inverter is employed either in a Full-Bridge configuration using peak current control or in a Half-Bridge configuration with a capacitive element. These converters allow the luminous intensity of the lamp to vary (dimming), as well as the frequency of the pulses over a wide frequency range, avoiding acoustic resonance to appear; they also allow a low frequency power variation, aiming to improve the color rendering index and correlated color temperature properties of the light emitted by certain types of discharge lamps, such as the high pressure sodium lamps. The converters present a significant reduction in the volume of the power circuit due to the removal of the magnetic element, being even more attractive as the power of the lamp increases. | 04-09-2009 |
