Patent number: 10836024Abstract: Disclosed is a tool for driving a barbed staple into a workpiece, the tool includes a housing enclosing a power delivery source and a driver blade driven by the power delivery source and comprising an engagement portion configured for engagement with the staple. The tool further includes a nosepiece comprising an aperture providing access for loading a staple into the nosepiece and a passage configured for slidable mounting of the driver blade. In use, the driver blade may be driven along a longitudinal axis of the passage by the power delivery source to engage and drive a staple into a workpiece. Clearances are providing to allow for loading and passage of the barbed staples in the nosepiece and arrangements are provided to maintain the alignment of the staple in the nosepiece to compensate for those clearances.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventor: Graeme Young

Publication number: 20120140671Abstract: To analyze the performance of a network including edge routers and a hub router coupled together by communication links, an analysis method includes discovering the topology of the network that is initially unknown. An information handling system (IHS) determines baseline performance information with respect to the discovered topology of network, the baseline performance information including network capacity information on a per link basis. The discovered topology of the network is speculatively changed to provide a speculatively changed network with prospects for performance improvement. The IHS determines an estimated impact of the speculative change to the discovered topology of the network by repeating the topology discovery and the determination of baseline performance using the speculative changed topology.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Bukofser, Graeme Young, Hazel M.
