  • Patent number: 10737814
    Abstract: A wire release mechanism for securing an end of a wire during a wire tying cycle is provided. The wire release mechanism may secure a first end of a wire around a bale of recycled material during knotting of the wire. The wire release mechanism may include a wire release portion having an engaging surface and the wire release portion may be movable between an open and closed position. The wire release mechanism may further include a gripping arm movable between a first position and a second position and having a retractable surface. The engaging surface may disengage the wire based on movement from the closed position to the open position. Further, the retractable surface may engage against the first end of the wire based on movement from the first position to the second position.

  • Patent number: 9841098
    Abstract: A clutch hub is splined to a planetary ring gear and a second rotating element, coupling the two elements. The spline defines a number of axial fluid distribution channels that conduct fluid from an interior radial passageway beside the ring gear to exterior radial passageways over the ring gear. These axial passageways permit packaging the clutch pack directly over the ring gear without drilling holes in the hardened gear material. The axial channels may be defined by radial space between the splined components. Alternatively or additionally, some spline teeth may be omitted to define larger axial channels.

  • Publication number: 20170091471
    Abstract: This document describes techniques by which users and files of a repository are accurately correlated into clusters. These clusters often indicate particular projects, as users are correlated with the projects on which they collaborate. By clustering these users and files, the techniques enable access control that permits both collaboration and excellent security. The techniques also enable determination of data loss, security vulnerabilities, job functions, project scope, and multiple-repository correlations.

  • Patent number: 8468688
    Abstract: Coaxial cable preparation tools. In one example embodiment, a coaxial cable preparation tool is configured for use in preparing a coaxial cable for termination. The coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, an insulating layer surrounding the inner conductor, and an outer conductor surrounding the insulating layer. The tool includes a body. The body includes an insertion portion configured to be inserted between the outer conductor and inner conductor where a section of the insulating layer has been cored out. The body also includes an opening defined in the insertion portion and configured to receive the inner conductor. The body further includes means for increasing the diameter of the outer conductor that surrounds the cored-out section.
