  • Patent number: 11813682
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a handle coupled to the housing. The handle is configured to be gripped by an operator to manipulate the power tool. The power tool also includes a drive system supported in one of the housing or the handle. The drive system includes a frame, a motor at least partially supported by the frame, and a transmission driven by the motor. The transmission is at least partially supported by the frame. The frame is composed of a non-electrically conductive material.

  • Patent number: 11642683
    Abstract: A portable, battery-powered liquid sprayer is operable to eject liquids. The sprayer includes a power unit including a base having a motor housed therein. The sprayer further includes a sprayer tank including a reservoir, an outlet fluidly connected with the reservoir, and a pump fluidly connected with the reservoir and the outlet. The sprayer tank is configured for selective engagement with the power unit. When the sprayer tank engages the power unit, the motor is operable to selectively drive the pump to pump liquid from the reservoir for ejection through the outlet.

  • Patent number: 11014176
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing having a base configured to support the power tool relative to a workpiece. The power tool includes a handle coupled to the housing. The handle defines a longitudinal axis and includes a first portion positioned between the longitudinal axis. The housing the base and a second portion opposite the first portion and extending away from the base. The power tool includes an activation switch coupled to a side surface of the housing. The activation switch is slidable in a direction parallel with a switch axis that intersects the longitudinal axis from a deactivated state, in which the drive system is non-operable, to an activated state, in which the drive system is operable. The activation switch is slidable toward the second portion of the housing from an intersection point between the switch axis and the longitudinal axis.

The handle defines a longitudinal axis and includes a first portion positioned between the longitudinal axis and the base and a second portion opposite the first portion along the longitudinal axis. The power tool includes an activation switch coupled to a side surface of the housing. The activation switch is slidable in a direction parallel with a switch axis that intersects the longitudinal axis from a deactivated state, in which the drive system is non-operable, to an activated state, in which the drive system is operable.

  • Publication number: 20130066679
    Abstract: A computer device receives a list of events, and generates possible outcomes of the events. Each one of the possible outcomes indicates which ones of the events occur and which ones of the events do not occur. The computer device receives a request for forecast information for an item associated with two or more of the events. The computer device further retrieves data, from the possible outcomes, for the item. The computer device generates the forecast, for the item, based on the data. The computer device also uses the forecast to generate a plan to provide or to provide the item or a product associated with the item.
