Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a protective device for use with a metal stud. This invention protects in-wall piping, conduit and wiring from inadvertent puncturing by drywall screws during the installation of wall boarding.

Abstract: Methods and systems for plugging a hole are described. A plug may comprise a substantially tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end interconnected by a side wall, the side wall having an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface, at least the outward facing surface being substantially conformable, an adhesive disposed on the outward facing surface, a fire-resistant ring disposed substantially at one of the ends of the tubular member, and a thread disposed along the inward facing surface, the thread adapted to receive a cover.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may comprise a system and method for mass customizing luggage. A system and method for customizing luggage may comprise offering a user a design catalog from which to select a graphic design for an item of luggage, the item of luggage having a recessed panel, generating a custom label using the selected graphic design, and applying the custom label to the recessed panel.

Abstract: A plug includes a conformable element and a structural cover or top plate for plugging a hole in a concrete floor slab. This permits a workman to plug the hole; unplug the hole; and, in some embodiments, fit a pipe through the hole. Moreover, the conformable element may be swapped-out on site, allowing a workman to adjust a diameter and outer surface of the plug to meet on-site conditions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for securing cored penetration in a concrete slab are described. The method and system may include providing a concrete hole plug. The concrete hole may include a lower hole plug and a top cover securely attached to the lower hole plug for sealing the hole. The lower hole plug may include an adhesive on the outside surface for adhering to the concrete wall of the hole and a well for holding fire-resistant sealant to form a perimeter seal on installed pipe. The top cover may include one or more securing mechanism for attaching the top cover to the hole plug. Further, the method and system may include exposing the adhesive on the outside surface of the lower hole plug, disposing the concrete hole plug into a hole bored in a concrete slab and securing the top cover to the lower hole plug using the securing mechanism.

Abstract: The table saw disclosed herein includes a table, a saw assembly pivotally attached to the table, the saw assembly comprising an arbor movable relative to the table, a bevel shaft operatively connected to the saw assembly for pivoting the saw assembly, and a height shaft operatively connected to the saw assembly for moving the arbor relative to the table, wherein distance between the height shaft and the table is larger than distance between the bevel shaft and the table.

Abstract: A table saw including a base, a main table supported by the base, first and second rails attached to the table, a sliding table fixedly attached to the rails and sliding along the longitudinal axis of the rails and a cross-cut table slidably movable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rails. The cross-cut table may be adjusted to ensure movement parallel to a blade protruding from the main table. An improved miter gauge assembly is also disclosed. An improved fence assembly is further disclosed herein. In addition, a table saw having an improved panel and leg construction is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A luggage device including a frame and at least one container releasably secured to the frame.

Abstract: A deployable gimbal-suspended beverage cup holder that is a fixed or removable accessory to a piece of wheeled luggage or other wheeled human-pulled transport device that permits hands-free maintenance of a beverage, keeping the cup normal to the ground plane while moving the luggage or transport device.

Abstract: A flexible and modular system of internal partitioning of a piece of luggage that permits the user to allocate appropriate space to the various contents or to accommodate the particular nature of the contents, such as waterproof containment of wet items, and that is interchangeably modular so that the user can vary the partitioning depending upon the nature of the trip for which he/she is packing.

Abstract: Luggage with modular construction permits personalization and customization by interchangeable appearance covers, by interchangeable lids and by interchangeable primary containment perimeters, so that the luggage can be selectively constructed with a hard or soft upper containment perimeter and lid, or such that the aesthetic treatment of the lid or other panels can be changed very easily by means of a releasable fasteners.

Abstract: A wheeled transport device, such as a piece of luggage configured to be manually wheeled by a pedestrian user, in provided with an electrical generator operably coupled to a rolling wheel of the device and configured to produce electrical energy as the user wheels the device along a supporting surface. The generator provides power to charge a battery contained within the device and/or one or more electrical appliances being transported within the device.
