| 20110124213 | LEVER TYPE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - The present disclosure provides an electrical connector assembly having electrical connectors that are matingly connected and disconnected by operation of a lever actuator of one of the connectors. The lever is pivotally connected to one of the connectors and includes a drive gear at an end thereof. Each drive gear has gear teeth and a cam projection. The gear teeth of the drive gear mesh with gear teeth of a follower or mating gear pivotally mounted on the housing of the connector carrying the lever. The mating gear also includes a cam projection. The other connector has cam grooves positioned to engage with each cam projection such that movement of the lever causes drive gear to pivot all the cam projections to engage cam grooves and move the connectors to a fully mated condition. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100017993 | Rotational scratch-off card surface remover - A rotational remover including a body assembly and a tip drive assembly. The body assembly includes a body front containing a convoluted bearing race, a body back which fastens to the body front and a main spring housed within. The tip drive assembly includes a bearing guide having a threaded barrel at the front end which receives a tip, a center section which receives at least three ball bearings and a spring pivot. The ball bearings are housed in the tip drive assembly rolling in the bearing guide and within the convoluted race formed in the body front assembly. The spring pivot is housed in the body assembly between the main spring and the bearing guide. The depression of the body assembly in a vertical movement actuates the ball bearings within the convoluted bearing race, thereby rotating a tip with a serrated, abrasive surface received in the bearing guide in a rotational movement. The main spring provides resistance for and returns the tip drive assembly to a starting position after the body assembly is vertically depressed. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110146019 | Scratch-off card surface remover - A scratch-off card surface remover comprised of a single body assembly. The single body assembly contains a forward extruded scraping tip wherein the tip is a half sphere shape that contains a flat plane scraping edge and of which this shape is directly centered on and extending from the forward area of an elliptical mount formed directly to a middle obtruded hollow barrel hand grip further directly formed to an aft hollow barrel section containing two oppositely correlated perforations for the insertion of a means by which to carry and store the assembly. The horizontal movement of the single body assembly as applied to the surface of a scratch-off card empowers the scraping characteristic of the scraping tip portion of the assembly. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20110244775 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AND DIRECTING FLOW OF CONTAMINATED AIR TO FILTERS AND FOR MONITORING FILTER LOADING IN A BIOLOGICAL SAFETY CABINET - An improved system and method for monitoring contamination loading of a filter in a biological safety cabinet comprising a housing defining a work chamber and a filtration chamber, a system for circulating air between the work chamber and the filtration chamber via a fan which draws air under negative pressure from the work chamber and delivers the air under positive pressure through the filter and into the filtration chamber. The filter monitoring system determines a pressure differential between the negative and positive air pressure at opposite sides of the fan, and evaluates the degree of contamination loading of the filter on the basis of the pressure differential. An air flow baffle is disposed within the filtration chamber adjacent the fan for dividing the pressurized air delivered by the fan and partially redirecting a portion thereof for more uniformly delivering the air to the filter. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20100102039 | GEMSTONE POSITIONING FIXTURE - A gemstone positioning fixture, including a base and a cover plate applied over the base. The cover plate has apertures, one for each gem to be worked on. At least one biasing member is positioned beneath the plate. The biasing member applies an upward force to the gems to contact the cover plate. The plate is formed of materials that conduct electricity, so as to conduct any charged particles away from the gem work surface. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080243299 | Machine tool control system - A machine tool controller is provided that includes a processor configured to execute a sequence of instructions in accordance with an operating program and a user program. A volatile memory temporarily stores instructions and data during execution of the sequence of instructions by the processor, and is coupled to the processor via a first interface. A first non-volatile memory stores the operating program and is coupled to the processor via a second interface. A second non-volatile memory stores the user program and is coupled to the processor via a third interface. A video controller is configured to control a user display in accordance with display data generated by the processor and is coupled to the processor via a fourth interface. A dual-port memory is coupled to the processor via a fifth interface and couples a serial bus controller configured to control communications with an external device via a serial bus to the processor. An external bus interface is configured to communicate control commands for controlling a machine tool generated by the processor via an external bus and is coupled to said processor via a sixth interface. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090248188 | SMART MACHINE TOOL LUBRICATION SYSTEM - A smart machine tool lubrication system monitors the distance traveled by a motion component in a machine tool. A predetermined amount of lubricant is dispensed at a lubrication point of the motion component when the monitored distance exceeds a first threshold value. The smart machine tool lubrication system may further monitor the duration of time the motion component is in motion and dispense the predetermined amount of lubricant with the monitored duration of time exceeds a second threshold value. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090248194 | CUT OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A cut optimization system controls chatter in a machine tool during a cutting operation. A microphone is configured to capture acoustic noise emitted by the machine tool during the cutting operation and to generate an AC signal corresponding to the captured acoustic noise. A filter is configured to attenuate frequencies of the AC signal outside of a frequency band and a rectifier is configured to rectify the filtered AC signal into a DC component. A controller is configured to compare the DC component with a threshold value and, if the DC component is greater than the threshold, cyclically vary the rotational speed of a spindle in the machine tool from a commanded speed. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20110057594 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING AND DISPLAYING A TIME TO OVERLOAD OF MACHINE TOOLS - Systems and methods for determining and displaying a time to overload of a motor in a computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tool are provided. A method includes monitoring a fuse level of a motor in a CNC machine tool and calculating a time to overload of the motor based on the fuse level. The method further includes displaying the time to overload on a user interface based on the fuse level of the motor and a load acting on the motor. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110060466 | AUTOMATIC DOOR WITH POSITION-DEPENDENT FORCE LIMITING - A method of controlling the motion of a moveable door includes determining the direction that the door is moving with respect to its anticipated closed position, and based on the direction, regulating an amount of force that is available to the door for its motion. The method may further include monitoring the position of the door as it is moving, and adjusting the motion of the door and regulating the amount of force available to the door for its motion, based on the calculated difference between the door's position as detected during monitoring and its expected position. | 03-10-2011 |
