Abstract: A wire feeder includes an exterior housing and in interior housing that creates an interstitial spaced that is disposed between the exterior and interior housing. This housing structure reduces weight of the wire feeder while maintaining the structural rigidness required of a wire feeder. This housing structure also promotes improved cooling features for the wire feeder and the components disposed within the wire feeder. The exterior housing may be constructed of a materials that reduces the likelihood of being damaged. The wire feeder may be further equipped with a strain relief device for the incoming supply cables, and an interchangeable cable connector. The wire feeder may also be equipped with removable wire guides for the wire feeder mechanism that are toolless. The wire feeder may be equipped with accessory storage and attachment features, as well as a cost reduced repositionable control panel.

Abstract: A lighting arrangement for providing visible light and radiation in another spectrum that is medically beneficial is provided. The lighting arrangement comprises a light source adapted to emit visible light; a radiation source adapted to emit radiation in a predetermined spectrum, and a driver circuit adapted to provide a first driving current that is pulsed and has a duty cycle of not greater than 20%. The predetermined spectrum is preferably in the range 760-1400 nm. The lighting arrangement is adapted to provide the first driving current to the radiation source but not the light source. Corresponding method and products employing such lighting arrangement are also provided.

Abstract: A connector assembly disposed on a side of a housing of an arc process component is disclosed. The connector assembly includes one or more sockets, each socket having a socket axis angled with respect to the side of the housing of the arc process component. An angle between socket axis and the housing may be between zero and 90 degrees. The connector assembly is configured to conduct at least one of a control signal, a process current, a gas, a weld wire, and a cooling fluid.

Abstract: A lighting arrangement for general lighting, comprising a first light source Oadapted to emit a first light substantially only in a first predetermined spectrum in a range from 615 nm to 690 nm, one or more driver circuits adapted to provide a first pulsed driving current to the first light source for producing the first light pulsing with a first peak radiant power in the first predetermined spectrum sufficient to induce a photo-biomodulation response in a human body, and a second light source adapted to emit a second light, the second light source being capable of emitting at least 250 lumens.

Abstract: A transportable spool carrier includes a spool hub configured to receive a welding wire spool thereon. A handle is disposed a distance above the spool hub greater than the radial size of the spool hub such that the welding wire spool is transportable via the transportable spool carrier. The handle is vertically aligned with the longitudinal center portion of the spool hub axis to align the handle with a center of gravity of the welding wire spool when the welding wire spool is coupled to the transportable spool carrier. The transportable spool carrier may include two spaced feet configured to support the welding wire spool on a surface when the transportable spool carrier is decoupled from the frame. The spool hub may include an expandable cylinder that, when radially expanded the welding wire spool is locked to the spool hub.

Abstract: The invention relates to an LED light source comprising a light unit and a hollow curved cap covering the light unit. The light unit comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) distributed in the form of a spatial arrangement having a center position. The plurality of LEDs includes at least two different types of LEDs. Each type of LED is arranged for the emission of radiation within a different wavelength range. The cap is substantially transparent for radiation emitted by the light unit. The cap is further provided with an axially symmetric protrusion forming a depression in the exterior of the cap. The symmetry axis of the protrusion substantially coincides with the center position of the spatial arrangement of the plurality of LEDs.
