  • Publication number: 20240083007
    Abstract: A sander includes a housing defining a front end and a rear end relative to a direction of travel of the sander on a work surface, an actuator, and a battery platform. The housing supports a motor and has a grip disposed over the motor adjacent the front end and a handle positioned at or adjacent the rear end. The housing further supports a belt drive assembly configured to rotatably support a belt and having a belt plate extending a long a first plane. The actuator is supported by the handle. The battery platform is at least partially supported by and located above the handle. The battery platform defines a battery pack receptacle configured to support a battery pack. The battery platform is oriented along a second plane orientated at an acute angle relative to the first plane.

  • Patent number: 11916907
    Abstract: Where a single networked security service supports multiple enterprises, this security service can operate as a shared source of trust so that security devices associated with one enterprise can provide authenticated, policy-based management of computing devices associated with another enterprise. For example, an enterprise firewall can advantageously manage network access for a new device based on a shared and authenticated relationship with the networked security service.

  • Patent number: 11651336
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining data dependent alert profiles to be presented on sender and/or receiver computing devices in response to a request for transfer of a data from the sender to the receiver. The alert profiles are determined based on a value of the data. The sender alert profile may be determined based on the information on sender accounts and the receiver alert profile may be determined based on the information on the receiver account. The alert profiles may be determined based on a history of the data transfer between the sender and the receiver, or account history of either the sender or the receiver, or the history of the data transfer within the system. The alert profiles may be presented on computing devices, for example through haptic actuators, to provide a sense of the data value to the user.

  • Patent number: 11111748
    Abstract: Milling systems, tools, and methods include using a mill with secondary attrition system to re-mill cuttings and other debris away from the face of the mill. The secondary attrition system may be located uphole of the mill may be used to stage conditioning and re-sizing of debris. After debris is generated by the mill, the secondary attrition system may re-mill the debris to a finer size before allowing the debris to pass out of the sleeve. The debris may be re-milled by secondary cutting elements while within an annular gap positioned radially between the sleeve and a drive shaft for the mill. The annular gap may have a variable width as a result of a tapered outer surface of the drive shaft and/or a tapered inner surface of the sleeve. The variable width may cause debris to be re-milled into increasingly finer sizes.

  • Patent number: 10590724
    Abstract: Milling tools, systems, and assemblies may have an adjustable gauge diameter. An example mill may include a body with tracks thereon. The tracks may slope in an axial direction and may be configured to couple to multiple blades. A locking collar may be positioned on the body and may be movable between multiple locking positions. Each locking position may be axially offset from another. At each locking position, the blades may be located at a different axial position on the body. Where the tracks slope, each different axial positions of the blades may also correspond to a different radial position for the blades. A gauge diameter of the blades may be based on the locking positions of the locking collar.
