Abstract: This disclosure relates to industrial data services, data modeling and applications for controlling an industrial operation. In one implementation, a platform is disclosed for allocating a data modeling request to a collaborative group of experts based on a two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and a multilayer resource allocation graph to obtain a data model for controlling the industrial operation. The two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and the multilayer resource allocation graph are established from an industrial graph knowledgebase using various data analytics and machine learning techniques.

Abstract: A secure data system facilitates efficient searching of extensive data storage layers, e.g., a blockchain. The system may create an index for data elements of a predefined type recorded in the blockchain. The system may generate the index by invoking executable instructions stored in an executable data element (e.g., a smart contract) recorded in the blockchain and associated with the predefined type of data elements. The index facilitates fast query into the blockchain for the data elements of the predefined type.

Abstract: A power tool includes an output shaft, a planet carrier, and a buffer mechanism. The planet carrier is configured to be rotatably connected with the output shaft to drive the output shaft during operation, and there is a gap between an inner side surface of the planet carrier and a circumferential surface of the output shaft. A buffer mechanism is provided on at least one of the inner side surface of the planet carrier and the circumferential surface of the output shaft near the gap. The buffer mechanism is configured not to actively apply pressure to the output shaft and the planet carrier, and to buffer the impact force between the output shaft and the planet carrier, when the output shaft slides relative to the planet carrier under the action of inertial force.

Abstract: Cloud service based on container technology provides a lightweight, portable, but robust architecture for deploying service applications. Service volume and resource requirement for a typical modern-day application may fluctuate dramatically in time. A dynamic resource allocation scheme based on machine learning algorithms and executed by the cloud for applications deployed as independent containers allows for efficient resource usage and improvement of quality of service for the applications.

Abstract: A power tool including a housing, a motor accommodated in the housing; and an output member connected to the motor via a transmission module. The transmission module is received in a substantially vacuum chamber in the housing. The vacuum chamber effectively reduces the propagation of noises generated by the transmission module to the outside of the power tool, thus improving the user experience.

Abstract: An electric hammer comprising an electric motor, a spindle coupled to the electric motor and adapted to be driven by the electric motor, an impacting member adapted to be coupled to the spindle and driven by the spindle, and a direction changing device adapted to be coupled with the impacting member. The direction changing device changes the direction of movement of the impacting member such that the kinetic energy of the impacting member is provided to an energy storage device for accumulation after the change in the direction of movement. The energy storage device is adapted to return the accumulated energy to the impacting member such that the latter generates an impacting force to an output member.
