20090205848 | Powered driver and methods for reliable repeated securement of threaded connecters to a correct tightness - A powered driver and methods are disclosed, the driver including a head having a gapped jaw and housing a motor driven drive transfer assembly for operating a rotatable split socket engageable at a threaded connector. A reaction unit is movably maintained through the head, and a probe is associated with the reaction unit. The methods of this invention include setting a selected rotational limitation at the driver relating to fitting characteristics, operating the driver to cause relative rotation of a connector nut located in the socket and connector body engaged by the reaction unit. One of a plurality of operational modes for driver operations is selected and relative movement of the head and reaction unit are monitored during driver operation. The driver is controlled so that driver operation ceases when a selected combination of events related to operational mode selected and at least one of rotational limitation setting, monitored relative movement or driver operation occurs. | 08-20-2009 |
20100269638 | Utility tools and mounting adaptation for a nut driving tool and methods - Adaptations, apparatus and methods are disclosed for associating various utility tools with a nut driving tool. The adaptation of includes a receiver connectable to one side of the nut driving tool adjacent to a socket driver. A utility tool mounting body includes a base portion releasably engageable with the receiver and a station portion on the base portion releasably engageable with the selected utility tool. The utility tool of this invention includes a head having a mounting interface, the station portion releasably engageable with the mounting interface of the utility tool head. In one embodiment, the utility tool is reaction unit for engaging a nut or a fitting body. In other embodiments, utility tools for tube cutting, sawing, and/or bending, and/or grasping of adjacent fitting types or fitting sizes are provided. | 10-28-2010 |

20110162584 | SYSTEM FOR FILLING AND DRAINING AN AQUARIUM - A system for filling and draining an aquarium. An aquarium tank is fitted with a drain and fill system. An aquarium comprises a tank fitted with a drain line that connects to a sediment collector at a first end and terminates in a connector at a second end. Interposed between the first end and the second end and proximate to the first end is a diverter valve. Interposed between the second end and the diverter valve is a “T” connector that connects the drain line to a vertical fill line. The fill line extends to a height above the height of the tank and extends over the opening of the tank to facilitate the disposition of water into the tank. The cleaning of the tank may be performed by turning the diverter valve to an open position. Filling the tank may be performed when the diverter valve is in a closed position. | 07-07-2011 |

20140025054 | Endoscopic Ultrasound Ablation Needle - A radiofrequency tissue ablation device includes an elongate outer cannula having proximal and distal ends and an intermediate length therebetween where a longitudinal region of the intermediate length is configured as an ablation electrode. A cannula lumen extends longitudinally through the cannula. A stylet extends slidably through the lumen and is secured to the cannula between the ablation electrode and the cannula distal end. The ablation electrode includes a plurality of substantially parallel helical apertures disposed around and extending through a cannula circumference. The ablation electrode is configured to be circumferentially expandable such that in a first state, it is essentially cylindrical with a substantially uniform outer diameter along substantially its entire length, and in a second state, its parallel helical apertures are expanded such that the intervening portions of the cannula form an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of cannula portions proximal and distal of the electrode. | 01-23-2014 |
