Additionally, the housing of the device includes a force dissipation member. The force dissipation member includes a central portion that is sized to detachably attach around the screw boss. The force dissipation member further includes at least two arms that extend outwardly from the central portion, wherein each arm of the at least two arms is attached to a different side of the two walls of the housing.

Abstract: An accessory for an oscillating power tool includes an attachment portion configured to be coupled to an oscillating power tool and a working portion extending generally along a longitudinal axis. The working portion has a rear end portion coupled to the attachment portion, a front cutting edge opposite the rear end portion, a first side edge extending from the front cutting edge to the rear end portion, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge and extending from the front cutting edge to the rear end portion. The working portion includes an at least partially curved surface that contains the longitudinal axis. At least a portion of the first side edge includes a first side cutting edge portion.

Abstract: An accessory tool for a power-driven oscillating tool may include a plate, with a first working section defined along a first peripheral edge portion of the plate, and a second working section defined along a second peripheral edge portion of the plate. The first and second working sections may define cutting or abrading or chipping sections of the accessory tool. The first and second working sections may be separated by a notch formed in a third peripheral edge portion of the plate. Corner portions of the first working section and the second working section may be defined where the first and second working sections meet respective edge portions of the notch, allowing the corner portions to be inserted into and engaged in corresponding corner portions of channels for removal of material from the corner portions of the channels.

Abstract: An accessory for oscillating power tools includes an attachment portion with a rear end couplable to an oscillating power tool and a working portion coupled to the attachment portion and extending along a tool axis. The working portion includes a cutting edge arranged asymmetrically relative to the tool axis with a leading tooth disposed at one end of the cutting edge at a first distance from the rear end, a trailing tooth disposed on an opposite end of the cutting edge at a second distance from the rear end that is less than the first distance, and a plurality of intermediate teeth between leading tooth and the trailing tooth, each disposed less than or equal to the first distance and greater than or equal to the second distance from the rear end, the cutting edge slanted at an acute angle to a line perpendicular to the tool axis.

Abstract: An accessory includes an attachment portion with a central opening configured to be coupled to an oscillating power tool and defining a first axis generally parallel to a power tool axis. An intermediate portion with a first side edge and a second side edge has a proximal end portion coupled to the attachment portion and extends away from the attachment portion to a distal end portion. A working portion is coupled to and extends away from a distal end portion at an angle to the intermediate portion and at an angle to the first axis. The working end portion has a non-cutting third side edge continuous with the first side edge and a cutting fourth side edge continuous with the second side edge. The intermediate portion wraps at least partially around an obstruction located along the first axis so the working portion can cut a workpiece located behind the obstruction.

The working portion includes an at least partially curved surface that contains the longitudinal axis. At least a portion of the first side edge includes a first side cutting edge portion.

Abstract: An accessory for changing a utility trailer to a camping trailer. The accessory may include attachable canvas panels that may be formed to fit and cover the door openings of a trailer. The canvas panels may include screen windows that may be opened and closed. The canvas panels may further include doors so that a user may easily enter and exit the trailer housing.

Abstract: An architecture which permits externalized management of services includes a number of management service capability (MSC) definitions. Each operator may associate a management service capability with a Service/Service Capability for managing various aspects of the Service/Service Capability. An interface enables a variety of different management systems to utilize a common MSC structure, independent of the information models, transport mechanisms and management interface of the system using the MSC. With such an arrangement, management related integration costs associated with integrating and bundling complex multi-media services is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A robotic spray coating assembly is used in a method for spraying a coating. The assembly may include a robotic arm having a remote end region and a coating head mounted on the remote end region. The coating head emits a coating material within a defined coating delivery region via at least one first orifice located in the coating delivery region, the at least one first orifice connected to a coating supply. One or more second orifices are positioned in a pattern beyond the periphery of the coating delivery region, and a fluid supply is connected to the one or more second orifices. Fluid emitted from the one or more second orifices forms a fluid curtain that at least partially encircles the coating delivery region, thereby minimizing overspray emerging therefrom. The present invention also discloses a vehicle spray painting system and a method of spray painting a vehicle.

Abstract: A service tender node functions as an intermediary between subscribers and adjunct telecommunications services from multiple service providers to facilitate negotiation of services in real-time. The service tender node includes an index of services which is maintained and employed to search for applicable services in response to a tender request generated by a subscriber. Records in the index are described with an adaptive service definition which includes standard parameters and subjective parameters. The standard parameters identify types of service pursuant to telecommunications industry standards. The subjective parameters may be specified by individual service providers in order to differentiate their services within the service type defined by the standard parameters. Services generated from a search of the index pursuant to the standard parameters may be further sorted and filtered according to a comparison between a subscriber profile and the subjective parameters.

Abstract: In the service architecture of the invention, each service is viewed as a hierarchical arrangement of service components. At least one management agent is associated with each layer, and is used to manage and preserve the expected performance of the service components. The management agents cooperatively exchange management information regarding the service components at their layers to permit service self-management and self-healing, enabling restoration and recovery with minimum or no human intervention.
