  • Patent number: 12179329
    Abstract: In a method for identifying a deflection or a breakdown of a machine tool, in particular a hand-held machine tool, with an oscillating output movement, in particular a linearly oscillating output movement, at least one physical characteristic of the machine tool, in particular of a motor, a powertrain component, and/or a machining tool of the machine tool, is detected continuously or periodically by means of a detection unit. The method further includes detecting a deflection or a breakdown of the machine tool with an analysis unit on the basis of at least two values, which are identified at different times, of the characteristic of the machine tool, wherein each of the at least two values of the characteristic are associated with at least one respective substantially identical value of a discrete position characteristic of the oscillating output movement, in particular the linearly oscillating output movement, of the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 12136942
    Abstract: A frequency interference prediction system, used to electronically detect signals transmitted from one or more devices at a specified frequency. For each of the detected signals, the frequency interference prediction system detects the packet error rate, signal strength, and frequency channel and records the time the signal was detected. The frequency interference prediction system determines whether there is interference on the frequency channel at the time the signal was detected based on the packet error rate, signal strength, and frequency channel. The frequency interference prediction system then predicts whether there will be interference on the signal at a future time based on the determination that there was interference on the frequency channel and the times the signals were detected.

  • Patent number: 11673218
    Abstract: A safety brake device for a power tool includes a decoupling device, configured to decouple an output unit from a drive unit during a braking operation thereby reducing at least one of a rotational mass and rotational energy of the output unit, and a brake device with a first brake device part and a second brake device part. The first brake device part is arranged on the output unit so as to allow essentially no relative rotation, and the second brake device part is configured to allow essentially no relative rotation with respect to the power tool. The first brake device part and the second brake device part are configured to interact mechanically with one another during a braking operation to stop rotation of the output unit. The first brake device part of the brake device is embodied in one piece with the decoupling device.
