  • Publication number: 20240359303
    Abstract: A spring tool for actuating explosive fasteners for driving nails into a substrate is disclosed. For the tool to operate at its maximum potential the firing pin guide should be pushed securely against the rear of the fastener and the tip of the fastener should be pushed securely against the substrate. The action of the operator pushing the tool forward to actuate the tool moves the trigger body forward while compressing the firing spring until the trigger body travels the exact distance needed to release the trigger ball. The trigger body must also be in optimal rotational orientation with the tool and means for accomplishing the alignment is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12086762
    Abstract: In an aspect, an asset tracking coordination component estimates a time of a beacon transmission from a wireless energy charging-capable device coupled to an asset within a threshold proximity of a scanning device based on an estimated distance between the asset tracking coordination device and the scanning device and timing information associated with a wireless energy transmission, and schedules a beacon scanning window for the scanning device to scan for the beacon transmission based on the estimated time. In a further aspect, a scanning device may both provide a wireless energy transmission and may also scan for beacon transmission(s) from wireless energy charging-capable device(s) during a beacon scanning window.
