  • Patent number: 10222784
    Abstract: A method for controlling a device system is disclosed, and the device system includes a tool device and a motorized advancing apparatus during the machining of a workpiece composed of a first material and a second material different from the first material. The method includes machining the workpiece by the device system initially in a first operating mode with first machining parameters that are stored for the first material. After the start of the machining of the workpiece in the first operating mode, the method includes measuring and storing a first machining progress of the tool device as a reference value. During the machining of the workpiece in the first operating mode, the method also includes regularly measuring and comparing with a first threshold value a current machining progress of the tool device.

  • Patent number: 10160139
    Abstract: A method to control a power tool including the method steps: specifying the rotational speed of the drive at a first value, measuring a first amplitude of a signal, filtering the signal within a frequency range, measuring a second amplitude of the filtered signal, reducing the rotational speed of the drive to a second value if the first amplitude exceeds a first quantity and if the second amplitude exceeds a second quantity, and incrementally increasing the rotational speed of the drive to the first value, whereby each incremental increase of the rotational speed only takes place once the first amplitude remains below the first quantity for a time interval, and the second amplitude remains below the second quantity. A power tool that uses this method, includes: a drive, an acceleration sensor a filter, and a control unit.

  • Patent number: 9892425
    Abstract: A system for serving electronic advertisements over a data packet network has a node connected to the data packet network, data storage accessible to the node for holding advertisements for service and associated data, and a software instance running on the node for selecting and causing placement of advertisements including selected associated data. The system is characterized in that the advertisements are selected and served base on some real time information accessible to the software instance and wherein the associated data may be individually or collectively embedded into or deployed with the advertisements based at least in part on evaluation of the information accessed.

  • Publication number: 20160370794
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a device system (10), which comprises a tool device (12) and a motorized advancing apparatus (25), during the machining of a workpiece composed of a first material and a second material different from the first material, wherein the workpiece is first machined by the device (10) in a first operating mode with first machining parameters that are stored for the first material. After the start of the machining of the workpiece in the first operating mode, a first machining progress is measured and is stored as a reference value. During the machining in the first operating mode, a current machining progress is regularly measured and compared with a preset first limit value.

  • Patent number: 7721390
    Abstract: A handle (2; 4) for a hand-held power tool (6) includes a support member (20; 36) for securing the handle grip element (28; 48) to the hand-held power tool (6), and a decoupling device (24; 34) for at least partially vibration-decoupling of the grip element (28; 48) from the support member (20, 36) and including at least three, spaced from each other and extending parallel to each other pin-shaped decoupling elements (30; 44) for connecting the grip element (28; 48) with the support member (20; 36) and for guiding the grip element (28; 48) relative the support member (20; 36), without a position stability of the grip element being affected.

  • Publication number: 20070246405
    Abstract: A flushing agent conditioning device (1) for a hard material-tipped cutting machine (2) includes a flushing agent circulation circuit that can be closed at least partially with respect to a hard material-tipped tool (4) which is to be flushed and that has a discharge trough (8) and flushing agent pump (9) arranged one behind the other in the direction of flow behind the tool (4), wherein a sensor (15, 15?) is provided which can be evaluated electronically by computing means (14, 14?) with a transformation algorithm and which is sensitive to the flushing agent pressure (p) prevailing behind the flushing agent pump (9) in the direction of flow.
