Abstract: A welding device for remotely controlling welding power supply settings is provided. One embodiment of the welding device includes a welding pendant having a control panel configured to control a plurality of settings of a welding power supply. The control panel is not part of the welding power supply and the plurality of settings includes a welding current output by the welding power supply. The welding pendant also includes a welding power input configured to receive welding power and data from the welding power supply via a welding power cable. The welding power is combined with the data such that the data is provided over the welding power cable.

Abstract: Welding systems including a hydraulically driven welding power supply adapted to utilize hydraulic primary power to generate a first welding output for a first welding operation and a second welding output for a second welding operation are provided. Such welding systems may include control circuitry coupled to the hydraulically driven welding power supply and adapted to enable the hydraulically driven welding power supply to provide the first welding output and the second welding output at the same time to enable a first welding operator and a second welding operator to perform the first welding operation and the second welding operation, respectively, at the same time.

Abstract: A portable wire feeder system is disclosed that includes a wire feeder disposed in a hands-free carrying case or backpack. The hands-free carrying case or backpack may include a hip mount, a shoulder mount, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the backpack may include a welding torch receptacle. The system may further include a controller configured to exchange data with a welding power supply remotely located from the hands-free carrying case. The system may also include a user control device located on the hands-free carrying case and coupled to the controller. The user control device may also be a wireless communication device and may include a body mount. The system may further include a moisture remover disposed in the backpack and/or a heater.

Abstract: An airship deployment system comprises an airship of unique shape having laminar flow over this shape to enable low power propulsion, capable remote control, comprising an inflatable body; a propeller assembly for station keeping and repositioning said airship and capable of being folded into a compacted position and unfolded into an operational position; and a payload, comprising gas for inflating said inflatable body; and means for transferring data between said airship and a remote location; and a missile for carrying said airship in a compacted state to a predetermined location and altitude, and releasing said airship at said predetermined location and altitude. When said airship is released from said missile said inflatable body is inflated and said propeller assembly is unfolded into said operational position.

Abstract: The invention is directed to either a satellite or missile deployed to a high altitude location at a desired position above a target. Once at the proper position a drogue chute is deployed to slow reentry and then a high-altitude balloon or paraglider is deployed to maintain the invention above the target area. Once deployed, the invention utilizes onboard sensors to collect target information which is communicated to an over-the-horizon (from the target) receiver.
