Abstract: A mounting apparatus and method that can be used to secure a component to be tested to a testing device when the mounting holes of the component are offset from each other in one or more axes in relation to the axis of the component to be tested.

Abstract: A foot actuated pivoting lever is provided. The lever may include: a lever member having two ends, one end configured to attach to a mechanism configured to receive an input from the lever member; and a pedal pivotally attached proximate to the other end of the lever member, wherein the pedal is configured to pivot between a first and a second position, wherein in the first position, the pedal lies on top of a section of the lever member and, in the second position, the pedal extends beyond the lever member. A mechanism for actuating a piston may be provided.

Abstract: A respiratory mask for a medical patient including a shell and a flow coupling is disclosed. The shell includes an upper portion configured to cover a nose of the patient and a lower portion configured to cover a mouth of the patient, where an internal surface of the shell defines an interior volume of the respiratory mask. The flow coupling includes a body, a supply flow passage extending through the flow coupling, a scavenging flow passage extending through the flow coupling, and a septum within the body that separates the supply flow passage from the scavenging flow passage. The supply flow passage and the scavenging flow passage are fluidly coupled to an aperture that extends through the upper portion of the shell, and an aperture extending through the lower portion of the shell, respectively.

Abstract: A diagnostic tool for testing the performance of a component of a vehicle may include a processor configured to process test information from an alternator of the vehicle and control and activate the alternator of the vehicle having identification information to be tested. The diagnostic tool may also include a memory configured to store the test information of the alternator and software that operates the alternator of the vehicle. The diagnostic tool may further comprise a removable modular component comprising an operational circuitry that allows for the diagnostic tool to operate, wherein the removable modular component is replaced based at least in part on a determination that the operational circuitry is faulty, wherein the memory and the removable modular component are in communication with the processor.
