Abstract: A powered ratchet tool including a housing and a drive mechanism for driving an output member. The drive mechanism includes a yoke through which the output member extends. The ratchet tool further comprises a first selective pawl, a second selective pawl, and a non-selective pawl in the yoke that are biased toward an outer toothed surface of the output member. The outer toothed surface includes first and second selectively-toothed sections. When the first selectively-toothed section and second selectively-toothed sections are rotationally aligned with the with the first selective pawl and the second selective pawl, the first and second selective pawls are incapable of transferring torque to the output member.

Abstract: Network switches are devices that connect multiple devices together on a computer network, using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device. Each switch typically contains multiple ports, which are the points of connection for network cables. These ports can be in an active state, where they are ready to transmit data, or in an idle state, where they consume less power. Power consumption in datacenters has been a topic of concern due to the increasing demand for data processing and storage. One approach to reducing power consumption involves managing the power state of the switch ports. However, current power saving policies focus on making decisions for one type of traffic pattern or for a single port at a time, and therefore cannot intelligently or dynamically adapt to a multitude of network parameters affecting traffic flows. The present disclosure uses artificial intelligence to more intelligently transition ports between different modes of operation.

Abstract: A blower is provided, the blower including a conduit extending along a flowpath extending between an inlet portion and an outlet portion. An airflow generation assembly is positioned between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The airflow generation assembly is configured to induce a flow of air along the flowpath from the inlet portion through the outlet portion. A muffler assembly is coupled to the inlet portion and includes a muffler wall and a mount member extending from the inlet portion to the muffler wall to form an inlet gap therebetween.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosures includes catheters and methods of operating catheters having an elongated body that defines one or more first ports extending through a peripheral surface of the body, a plurality of interior lumens extending longitudinally through the catheter, and one or more tubes each having a sidewall defining a tube lumen in fluid communication with one of the first ports, the one or more tubes configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration in which the one or more tubes define a cage shape having an unconstrained maximum transverse dimension that larger than a corresponding maximum transverse dimension of the catheter body, where in the collapsed configuration, at least part of tube(s) is radially closer to the catheter body than when in the expanded configuration.

Abstract: A snow blower may include a frame, a rotatable auger, one or more wheels, and a chute body. The frame may define an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The outlet opening may be circumferentially bounded about a chute axis. The rotatable auger may be mounted to the frame rearward from the inlet opening and below the outlet opening to motivate snow to the outlet opening. The one or more wheels may be mounted to the frame apart from the rotatable auger to support the snow blower. The chute body may extend from the frame along the chute axis above the outletopening.

Abstract: An outdoor tool and a lubrication system for an outdoor tool are provided. The lubrication system includes a reservoir, a pump, and an output configured to deliver lubricant to a tool unit of the outdoor tool. The pump is adjustable between a plurality of flow rate settings. The lubrication system may include one or more anti-leak mechanisms. The lubrication system may include a dedicated pump motor distinct from a motor assembly of the tool. A display system to display operating parameters of the lubrication system may be included.

When the first selectively-toothed section and second selectively-toothed sections are rotationally aligned with the with the first selective pawl and the second selective pawl, the first and second selective pawls are incapable of transferring torque to the output member. The blocking member moves between an operating position, wherein the non-selective pawl is engaged with the outer toothed surface, and a home position, wherein the blocking member inhibits the non-selective pawl from engaging with the outer toothed surface.

Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed and pictured illustrate a hammer for comminuting various materials. The embodiments pictured and described herein are primarily for use with a rotatable hammermill assembly. The double end hammer includes a connection portion having a slot therein and two contact ends for delivery of energy to the material to be comminuted. The contact ends may be formed with a cavity therein. The contact ends may also be formed with an angle on the contact end periphery. The cavity and/or the angle on the contact end periphery may be used with hammers other than the double end hammers.

Abstract: A system and method to correct for height error during a robotic additive manufacturing process. One or both of an output current, output voltage, output power, output circuit impedance and a wire feed speed are sampled during an additive manufacturing process when creating a current layer. A plurality of instantaneous contact tip-to-work distances (CTWD's) are determined based on at least one or both of the output current, output voltage, output power, output circuit impedance and the wire feed speed. An average CTWD is determined based on the plurality of instantaneous CTWD's. A correction factor is generated, based on at least the average CTWD, which is used to compensate for any error in height of the current layer.
