Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110227271HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE OUT-FEED TABLE FOR TABLE SAW - A portable out-feed support table has a planar main out-feed support surface which is adjustable for both height and plane. Optional extension leaves, hinged to the edges of the main support, facilitate expansion of the length and surface area of the table, and preferably have foldable, length-adjustable support legs. In its fully-expanded configuration, the out-feed table allows a table saw operator to cut through large or lengthy workpieces with the out-feed material being at all times supported at substantially the same height and in the same plane as the saw table. In its most compact configuration, with the main out-feed support in its lowermost position and with the extension leaves folded down, the out-feed table can be manually carried by a worker, and is readily stowable in a vehicle. The out-feed table can also be configured for use with mitre gauges or saw sleds which require travel beyond the saw table, but at a height below the table saw surface.09-22-2011

20090166925CROSS-LINKED POLYOLEFIN MATERIAL BLEND MOLDED ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION INSULATING PRODUCTS - A new cross linked polyolefin material combination that is designed to replace current high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) materials for use with molded or over-molded electrical transmission products. Such molded or over-molded electrical transmission products include, for example, vise-top pin insulators, line post insulators, F-neck, C-neck, and J-neck pin insulators of classes ANSI 55-3, 55-4, and 55-5, Spacer cable spacers, Brackets, hangers, Line post sensors, cable restraint insulators, and transmission style insulators.07-02-2009
20090218891METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RFID BASED SMART SENSORS - RFID devices can be powered by one or more sources of RF energy, including available RF energy. RFID devices can be utilized to measure data, or receive data transmitted to the RFID device, and can preferably store the data and transmit the data to an RFID reader or other data receiver. In some examples, RFID devices can include one or more sensors that can measure data. In other examples, RFID devices can receive data transmitted from a remote data gathering device. In some examples, the RFID devices also include data logging capabilities, and can store data that corresponds to one or more data readings.09-03-2009

20090000382NON-CONTACT ACOUSTO-THERMAL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INCIPIENT DAMAGE IN MATERIALS - A non-contact acousto-thermal method and apparatus are provided for detection of incipient damage in materials. The apparatus utilizes an ultrasonic horn which receives an acoustic wave generated by an ultrasonic transducer energized by an RF pulse. The ultrasonic horn is placed at a distance from the sample to be tested with sufficient gap so that when excited, the face of the ultrasonic horn does not come into contact with the sample. An IR camera is placed at a distance from the opposite side of the sample. The acoustic wave is amplified by the ultrasonic horn, and the interaction between the sample and the acoustic wave produces changes in the temperature of the sample in the region of interaction during acoustic excitation such that the temperature of the material rapidly increases. The temperature-time profile is captured by the IR camera and may be analyzed by a data acquisition unit.01-01-2009

20110221954ELECTRONIC CAMERA AND METHOD WITH FILL FLASH FUNCTION - A method and camera for electronic image capture provide an electronic image capture device, a scanning aperture shutter located to control light energy received by the image capture device, a flash unit oriented to illuminate an image scene, a photocell unit adapted for sensing visible spectrum energy and infrared spectrum energy received from the image scene, and an exposure control system responsive to the photocell unit and operatively connected to the scanning aperture shutter and the flash unit. The exposure control system is adapted to control an amount of fill flash energy received from the image scene in relation to visible ambient light energy received from the image scene during image capture by illuminating the flash unit once a predetermined amount of ambient visible spectrum energy is sensed by the photocell unit and by extinguishing the flash unit once a predetermined amount of infrared energy is sensed by the photocell unit.09-15-2011
