  • Publication number: 20200216300
    Abstract: In certain examples, a cart is for lifting a load and the cart has a base frame, a lifting frame pivotally coupled to the base frame with a link arm, a handle pivotally coupled to the base frame at a first pivot axis, and a brace. The brace has a first end pivotally coupled to the handle at a second pivot axis that is spaced apart from the first pivot axis along the handle and an opposite second end pivotally coupled to the lifting frame at a third pivot axis that is between the link arm and the first pivot axis along the lifting frame to thereby achieve a mechanical advantage for pivoting the lifting frame relative to the base frame as the handle is pivoted about the first pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 10215193
    Abstract: Features for a valve assembly are described. The features can include a pair of spaced walls having apertures defining non-linear exit flow paths for the fluid, such as air, exiting the valve. In some embodiments, the features are described for a bleed valve assembly, to reduce the decibels produced when used in high pressure contexts, such as aircraft engines. The noise suppression features are integrated with the valve assembly. A valve, such as a stem and valve head, can move within the assembly between open and closed positions. The valve assembly can be manufactured using additive layer manufacturing (ALM) to create a monolithic housing that in some embodiments has the noise suppression features built into the assembly.

  • Patent number: 8590125
    Abstract: The subject invention provides for a device coupled to a machine for cutting and burnishing a surface of a work piece and a tool attachment assembly for the device. The device includes a cap movable between an engaged position preventing removal of a first modular insert from a cavity when in a cutting mode and a second modular insert from the cavity when in a burnishing mode and a disengaged position allowing independent removal of the first modular insert from the cavity when in the cutting mode and the second modular insert from the cavity when in the burnishing mode. The tool attachment assembly includes a biasing apparatus engaging a support to apply a first force to the support and a burnishing member with the support being rotatable relative to a modular insert in response to a reaction force.

  • Patent number: 8446699
    Abstract: This invention relates to a residual current device which is able to safely and reliably operate when a line voltage is present (voltage dependent mode) and when the line voltage is not present or falls below a predetermined threshold level (voltage independent mode). The present invention is implemented as a residual current device having a trip mechanism for isolating an electric supply to an electrical installation upon detection of a predetermined current imbalance between the line and neutral conductors of said electric supply. The present invention comprises a current transformer having a secondary winding responsive to any current imbalance on said electrical installation, and a circuit protection winding being connectable to a processing means.

  • Patent number: 8340829
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus of detecting and compensating for DC residual fault currents on electrical systems. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus which is capable of accurately detecting one or more parameters of the fault current waveform and generating a compensation factor which compensates for specific pulsed DC fault components present. In this way, trip sensitivity is optimized for all types of fault current waveforms. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention operates by detecting one or more parameters of the encoded fault current waveform and generating a measure of symmetry comparing the mean squared values of negative and positive sections of said encoded fault current waveform. In use, various bands of the ratio of the mean squared sum of the positive and negative sections of said encoded fault current waveform are obtained, and a compensation factor is determined from a look-up table stored in a processing means.
