Patent number: 11945079Abstract: A screwdriver includes a main body and a switch. The main body is coupled to a handle and includes a pair of parallel, spaced apart slots, and a pawl positioned in each slot. Each pawl is biased outwardly by a spring. The switch is pivotable relative to the main body, and the switch includes a groove extending along an arcuate portion of an inner surface. Pivoting the switch in a first direction moves the switch toward a first position in which the groove is positioned in-line with the first pawl. When the switch is in the first position, the first pawl extends outwardly from the slot and engages the internal tooth surface such that application of a torque in a first direction drives a shank in the first direction and application of a torque in the second direction causes the shank to ratchet relative to the main body.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Collin J. Nelson, Steven W. Hyma, Grant T. Squiers, James A. Cemke, Jr., Abhijeet A. Khangar

Publication number: 20130151992Abstract: A system for analyzing multi-dimensional data maps the multi-dimensional data to visual attributes and aural attributes. It displays a subset of the multidimensional data set on a display unit. The system further displays an avatar on the display unit. The avatar can select a field of view of the displayed subset. The system receives input from a user, wherein the user input relates to an additional dimension subset of the multidimensional data set that is not currently displayed. Visual attributes and/or aural attributes relating to the additional dimension subset are generated as a function of the input from a user. The visual and/or aural attribute convey information relating to the additional dimension subset on the display unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Jean E.

Patent number: 7736181Abstract: A coaxial cable connector interface for allowing signals to be transmitted over a coaxial transmission line between devices includes a coaxial cable and a cable connector that allows the coaxial cable to be attached to the devices. The coaxial cable includes a solid outer conductor that has corrugations to increase flexibility of the coaxial cable. The cable connector has a crimp portion that surrounds an end portion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The crimp portion conforms to the corrugations of the outer conductor, thereby creating an interface with the corrugations that attaches the cable connector to the coaxial cable by maintaining an axial load between the cable connector and the coaxial cable. Additionally, the coaxial cable connector interface includes a sealing element and a protective boot for preventing moisture from bridging the interface and causing cable performance reduction.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Vincent J.
