Abstract: A power tool including a sensor attachment, a housing, a motor, and a power tool controller. The power tool controller is operable or configured to control power provided to the motor. The sensor attachment is coupled to the power tool's housing and includes a first non-contact sensor and a sensor controller. The sensor controller receives signals from the first non-contact sensor related to distance to a work surface and determines a fastener depth based on the signals from the first non-contact sensor. If the fastener depth is greater than or equal to a desired fastener depth, the sensor controller generates and sends a control signal to the power tool controller. In response, the power tool controller turns off or cuts power to the motor.

Abstract: An analysis of the scans is performed to determine whether the selected item was moved from the back room to the shelf, then returned from the shelf to the back room. The analysis also determines a re-bin time when the selected product was returned to the back room. An adjustment to the PI is blocked when last PI adjustment time is later than the re-bin time. An adjustment to the PI is also blocked when an audit indicator is received at the interface indicating that the retail store is under an audit. An adjusted PI value is determined when the analysis indicates that the selected item was moved from the back room to the shelf, then returned from the shelf, the adjusted PI value being at least one more than the shelf capacity value.

Abstract: A drilling and production system is provided. In one embodiment, such a system has a plurality of functions that are effectuated at least predominately without hydraulic fluid. The system can be a drilling system having a rig and a subsea stack for performing various drilling functions, in which a majority of the drilling functions are effected electrically without hydraulic control fluid. In another embodiment, the rig is coupled to a subsea wellhead assembly but is not connected so as to provide hydraulic control fluid from the rig to the subsea wellhead assembly to enable drilling functions of the subsea wellhead assembly. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system that includes a database including data associated with one or more building features of a building. The system includes a processor of a computing device. The processor is configured to determine an absolute position of the computing device within the building. The processor is configured to identify at least one of the building features located within a threshold distance of the absolute position of the computing device based on a query of the database. Additionally, the processor is configured to generate an alert configured to cause the computing device to display information associated with the at least one of the building features or output an audible signal associated with the at least one of the building features.

Abstract: A silt fence patch for repairing damage to silt fence is disclosed. A silt fence patch may comprise geotextile fabric, an adhesive layer, and a backing. The backing may include indicia of patches, such as patch weave direction, user instructions, or logos. A silt fence patch sheet may comprise multiple silt fence patches. The sheet may include a backing with indicia of each patch, or indicia of the patches may be printed directly on the sheet fabric. A method of repairing damage to silt fence may comprise identifying damage to the silt fence. A damage boundary may surround the damage. The method may further comprise identifying a patch size to cover the damage boundary. The method may further comprise selecting a patch having the identified patch size. Additionally, the method may comprise applying the selected patch to the damage boundary and smoothing the patch over the damage boundary.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system that includes a processor of a computing device. The processor is configured to determine an absolute position of the computing device within a building based on communications from navigation devices. The processor is configured to identify at least one of the building features located within a threshold distance of the absolute position of the computing device based on a query of a database associated with one or more building features of the building. Additionally, the processor is configured to generate an alert configured to cause the computing device to display information associated with the at least one of the building features or output an audible signal including the information associated with the at least one of the building features.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a digital camera configured to be disposed in a locomotive system that includes a locomotive coupled to a rail vehicle. The camera generates image data within a field of view that includes a cab of the locomotive system and a portion of a route being traveled on and/or wayside devices disposed along the route. The cab includes a space where an operator of the vehicle is located. The system also can include one or more analysis processors that examine the image data generated by the camera to identify route damage, a deteriorating condition of the route, and/or a condition of the wayside devices. The condition of the wayside devices can include damage to the wayside devices, a missing wayside device, deterioration of the wayside devices, or a change in terrain.

Abstract: A method for starting operation of a solid polymer fuel cell from a temperature below 0° C. is disclosed that prevents certain problems with ice formation as the fuel cell thaws. During startup, the method involves providing the volumetric oxidant flow at a rate less than two thirds of its maximum when the coolant temperature is near 0° C.

Abstract: The invention provides for methods of treating a disease using HDAC6 inhibitors that modulate the extracellular level of a subset of cytokines. The invention also provides for compositions for treating a disease associated with a modulation in the extracellular level of a subset of cytokines.
