  • Publication number: 20230324173
    Abstract: A laser level assembly including a mounting bracket and a laser level. The mounting bracket includes a mounting portion and a base portion transverse to the mounting portion. The laser level assembly also includes a first motor that drives vertical translation of the laser level relative to the mounting portion of the mounting bracket. The laser level assembly also includes a second motor configured to drive rotational motion of the laser level about a vertical axis.

  • Publication number: 20230194261
    Abstract: A construction laser level includes a housing and a gimbal assembly disposed in the housing. The gimbal assembly includes a first laser generator operable to generate a first output beam. The first output beam projects outside of the housing onto a target surface. The gimbal assembly includes a second laser generator operable to generate a second output beam. The second output beam projects outside of the housing onto the target surface. The first output beam projects as a first line on the target surface. The second output beam projects as a second line on the target surface. The first line is generally perpendicular to the second line. A wavelength of the first output beam is in the range of 540 to 575 nanometers.

  • Patent number: 8871157
    Abstract: A handheld electronic pipette including several features aimed at improving ease of use, including a color dot matrix display, an intuitive thumb-operated two-axis controller, and multifunction soft buttons adjacent to the display. A simple and consistent user interface facilitates easy access to various modes of operation, including a manual pipetting mode and a remote mode.

  • Patent number: 8397593
    Abstract: A volume adjustable pipette, comprising a plunger mounted for movement in a housing to and from a stop to aspirate a fluid into and dispense the fluid from a tip extending from the housing. The movement of the plunger is damped to reduce sudden plunger movements. An axially moveable volume setting member in the housing defines the stop and a volume setting for the pipette and is axially moveable by a user turnable volume setting member. Turning of the volume adjusting member also controls a coarse volume setting means and a fine volume setting means, the course volume setting means being responsive to a relatively small turning of the volume adjusting member for moving the volume setting member a relatively large axial distance and the fine volume setting means being responsive to a relatively large turning of the volume adjusting member for moving the volume setting member a relatively small axial distance.
