Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, an output shaft supported by the housing for rotation about an axis, a battery terminal selectively operable to receive a DC power supply from a battery, and a receptacle selectively operable to receive an AC power supply from an AC power source. The power tool further includes a motor operable in a first power mode, in response to receipt of the DC power supply, to rotatably drive the output shaft, and also operable in a second power mode, in response to receipt of the AC power supply, to rotatably drive the output shaft. The power tool also includes a mechanical interlock movable between a first position in which the interlock inhibits the flow of the AC power supply to the motor and a second position in which the interlock inhibits the flow of the DC power supply to the motor.

Abstract: In a digital communication system, communication stations constitute frames to be conveyed over an interface. The frames simultaneously comprising full rate speech data and dedicated user data. A speech coder in the digital communication system generates the speech data while operating at a full rate. A user data application in the digital wireless communication system generates the dedicated user data. The system can set different service configurations supporting simultaneous transmission of speech data and dedicated user data, and can also include signaling data in the frames.

Abstract: In a digital wireless communication system wireless communication stations or radio base stations constitute frames to be conveyed over an air-interface for simultaneously comprising full rate speech data and dedicated user data. A speech coder in the digital wireless communication system generates the speech data while operating at a full rate. A user data application in the digital wireless communication system generates the dedicated user data. The system can set different service configurations supporting simultaneous transmission of speech data and dedicated user data, and can also include signaling data in the frames.

Abstract: A tool for maintaining and servicing a pressurized refrigeration system or the like wherein it is desirable to remove and replace a threaded check valve core without depressurizing the system. The tool includes a body member having a longitudinal passageway extending therethrough with means to provide sealing communication between one end of the passageway with the fitting in which the check valve is fitted. A removable cap sealingly engages the opposite end of the longitudinal passageway with an operating shaft extending therethrough for axial and rotary movement within the passageway. An annular sliding seal is disposed between the shaft and the removable cap. The shaft includes engaging means formed on one end thereof for releasably engaging the valve core to unthread and remove it from the fitting and withdraw it into the passageway to a position adjacent to the removable cap.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for securing an externally threaded line tap valve to the exterior of a penetrable tubing line such as that found in a closed refrigeration system. The apparatus is adapted to secure a line tap valve to a line having any of a plurality of outside diameters. The apparatus includes a body member having a threaded passage extending therethrough and a substantially square lateral cross-section. A first cylindrical outer surface is formed adjacent one end face of the body member and a second cylindrical outer surface is formed intermediate the first cylindrical outer surface and the opposite end face of the body member.
