Abstract: One example power tool includes an actuator configured to be actuated by a user to adjust a motor operating mode of a motor and a light operating mode of a work light. The power tool may also include an electronic processor configured to adjust the motor operating mode in response to determining that the actuator has been actuated in a first manner, and adjust the light operating mode in response to determining that the actuator has been actuated in a second manner that is different than the first manner. A different manner of actuation of the second actuator between the second manner and the first manner may include at least one of the group consisting of a different pressure applied to the second actuator, a different movement direction of the second actuator, a different amount of actuations of the second actuator within a predetermined time period, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments model wood product production, including composite wood production such as, for example, plywood. Data is received for different factors, with first and second factors being moisture content distributions for face and core veneers. A first model is developed to model moisture content as a function of at least some of the factors. First and second effects on first and second results of interest are determined based on output from the first model being provided to a second model. First and second curves representing first and second aspects of the production are created based on output from the second model. The first and second result of interest are high and low moisture content related errors, and the first and second curves are indicative of first and second areas where high and low moisture content related errors are to be expected based on first and second sets of conditions.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver including a housing, a cylinder, a piston movable within the cylinder from a TDC position to a BDC position, a driver blade attached to the piston for movement therewith along a driving axis from the TDC position toward the BDC position for driving a fastener into a workpiece, a lifter operable to move the piston and driver blade, in unison, from the BDC position toward the TDC position, a drive unit operably coupled to the lifter, and a printed circuit board (PCB) positioned within the housing. The PCB receives electrical current from the battery pack and includes power switches for commutating the motor. The PCB defines a length and a width, and a vibration attenuating damper is positioned between the housing and the printed circuit board. The damper is positioned along the length of the PCB and is configured to support the PCB within the housing.
