  • Publication number: 20240229749
    Abstract: An air cleaner assembly having an oblong cross section shape and is shaped to cooperate with non-circular air filters. An intake tunnel passes around a portion of an exterior of a filter housing body and overlies an air inlet into the filter housing body. The intake tunnel initiates rotational or cyclonic movement of air directed into the filter assembly. A cover cooperates with a longitudinal end of the filter housing assembly and allows access to the non-circular air filter. The air cleaner assembly is constructed to allow visual inspection of the interior of the air cleaner assembly. The air cleaner assembly includes a filter body support that defines an air duct that communicates filtered air toward an underlying power tool or internal combustion engine and that at least partially supports the air filter assembly relative to the underlying equipment.

  • Publication number: 20240075636
    Abstract: A tool interchange for a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) arm includes a first interchange body that affixes to an ROV arm. A second interchange body is carried by the first interchange body to rotate on a rotation axis. The second interchange body includes a tool mount actuable between gripping an ROV tool to the second interchange body and releasing the ROV tool from the second interchange body. An inductive power coupling part is provided in the tool mount. The inductive power coupling part is presented outwardly in the tool mount opposite the first interchange body, resides on the rotation axis and is fixed with respect to the first interchange body while the second interchange body rotates. The inductive power coupling part is adapted to inductively communicate power with a corresponding inductor power coupling part of the ROV tool when the ROV tool is docked in the tool mount.
