  • Publication number: 20230116331
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a drywall screwdriver (1), an electric motor (3) of the drywall screwdriver (1) being driven by means of a plurality of temporally spaced individual pulses (11) in order to allow a user to influence the countersinking of a screw (7) in a workpiece (10) in pulses. According to the invention, a screwing tool (8) that is mechanically coupled to the electric motor (3) and can be brought into engagement with the screw (7) is moved further by a predetermined angle of rotation (a) with each of the individual pulses (11).

  • Patent number: 11524905
    Abstract: A method of providing sustained odor control in an extended sewer line is disclosed. The method includes measuring at least one parameter of the sewer line including average wastewater volume, flow rate, and retention time and administering a blended composition which includes an immediate release compound and an extended release compound into the sewer line to control concentration of an odorous compound therein. A method of facilitating sustained odor control in an extended sewer line is also disclosed. The method includes providing the blended composition including the immediate release compound and the extended release compound and instructing a user to administer the blended composition to the sewer line control concentration of the odorous compound therein. A system for providing sustained odor control in the extended sewer line including sensors to measure sewer line parameters and a controller to instruct administration of the blended composition is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11491596
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine tool comprising an electric motor, a motor control unit for operating the electric motor, an input interface for entering a target specification of an operating mode of the electric motor into the motor control unit, and a motor sensor device for detecting the operating mode of the electric motor. A slave control unit is provided, which is independent from the motor control unit and communicatingly connected to the motor sensor device and the input interface and designed to compare the operating mode of the electric motor detected by the motor sensor device with the target specification entered via the input interface, and to influence the operating mode of the electric motor in case of a defined deviation of the operating mode from the target specification by means of a control device.
