When the destination is reached, the handle is deployed upside-down to function as a support stand, and the fan remains in a stable orientation without moving or shifting its position during operation.

Abstract: A scraper removes debris from under a work table, particularly slag resulting from cutting of metal. A pair of parallel tracks extends along opposite sides of a collection area under the table. A blade carriage is carried on the tracks and driven between forward and rearward positions. A pair of arm assemblies are connected to opposite sides of the blade and pivotally mounted to the carriage for moving the blade between a scraping position and a retracted position. A forward notch on each of the tracks is contacted by the arm assembly after reaching the forward position to cause the arm to move the blade from the scraping position to the retracted position during rearward movement. A rearward notch on each of the tracks is contacted by the arm assembly after reaching the rearward position and commencing forward movement to cause the arm to move the blade from the retracted position to the scraping position. The carriage is moved by continuous cables.

Abstract: The invention is intended to improve reliability of a thermal type air flow measuring instrument employing a molded part formed by integral molding together with a metal plate. A slot or opening allowing only a resin to pass through the same is formed in the metal plate in an area or thereabout subjected to higher stresses. A part of connector terminals, which is not required from the intrinsic object, is disposed in the vicinity of a area where the resin has a larger thickness and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the resin is locally increased. An injecting direction is set so as to prevent a weld line and a void from being generated in a combined way. In the molded part with the metal plate inserted therein, the occurrence of cracks and an increase of the fatigue crack growth rate can be suppressed and reliability can be improved.

Abstract: A system for actuating a spray pump assembly comprises a reference platform, a motor, a drive transmission, a spray pump holder, a force coupler, a force transducer, and a system controller. The motor receives a power and control input, and produces a rotary drive output. The drive transmission receives the rotary drive output and produces a linear drive output. The spray pump holder secures the spray pump assembly. The force coupler couples the linear drive output to the spray pump, and applies a force to the spray pump. The force transducer produces a force signal proportional to the force applied to the spray pump. The system controller receives a set of test inputs and provides the control input to the motor as a function of the set of test inputs. The system actuates the spray pump mechanism according to an actuation profile defined by the set of test inputs.

Abstract: A composite reflecting surface for a linear LED array incorporates a truncated circular parabolic reflector surrounding each LED and a trough axially above the circular parabolic reflectors defined between parallel longitudinal reflecting surfaces. The short circular parabolic reflectors collimate wide angle light from the LED into a direction parallel to the LED optical axis. The longitudinal reflecting surfaces are linear parabolic surfaces altered to improve the vertical spread of the light radiation pattern. Longitudinal convex ribs project inwardly from the basic linear parabolic shape. The convex shape of the ribs “sprays” the light incident upon it in a vertically spread pattern. The composite reflecting surface makes use of light from a linear array of LEDs that would otherwise be wasted.
