  • Patent number: 11010044
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided for input of a sequence of digits such as a PIN code or password. A user can use swipe motions to choose the value of a digit and double tap to accept a digit, and swipe up to confirm that input of the sequence of digits is complete. Embodiments can be implemented on point of sale devices, merchant devices and customer devices including mobile devices.

  • Patent number: 6578460
    Abstract: A blade guard and lifter therefor surround the saw blade, interlocking when raised by a workpiece as a result of relative movement caused by a secondary linkage. Two pair of primary linkages pivotally connect the blade guard to the splitter. The dual secondary linkage pivotally attaches the parallel plates of the lifter to one of the two pivot points of the primary linkages. Any lifting force is resisted by the rigidity of the primary link that does not share a pivot point with the secondary linkage. A dust collector can be provided to the table saw to minimize respiratory hazards.

  • Patent number: 5918521
    Abstract: A bifurcated holdown shoe for radial arm saw mounted to the saw guard of the radial arm saw such that the lower surface of the holdown shoe is mounted at a distance above the radial arm saw saw table corresponding to the height of a work piece to pass underneath the holdown shoe and be cut by the radial arm saw. The holdown shoe includes an arm portion which is bifurcated into two arms separated by a channel. A portion of the saw blade is held within the channel. The holdown shoe holds a work piece vertically steady against the saw table immediately adjacent the saw blade during a rip-cut, thus reducing the occurrence of kick-back.

  • Patent number: 5584217
    Abstract: A precision adjustable saw table adapted for use with a radial arm saw includes a cutting table slidably mounted to the base table of the radial arm saw. Adjusters are mounted to the base table and are adapted to precisely and accurately position the cutting table in relation to the base table, and thus, the saw blade of the radial arm saw. A measurer is adapted to precisely and accurately measure the position of the cutting table in relation to the base table, and thus, the saw blade are mounted to the base table.
