Publication number: 20230324173Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Oleksiy P. SERGYEYENKO, Thomas S. WOLF, Devansh K. JHAWAR, Michael C. SCHMITTDIEL

Publication number: 20230194261Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Daniel J. WHITE, Jose G. RAMIREZ, Douglas E. SCHERBARTH, Andrew E. Seman, JR., LingGuo KONG, Jiayong JIANG, Michael C. SCHMITTDIEL, Akash AGARWAL, JB RING, Eshaan AGADI

Patent number: 8397593Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Rainin Instrument, LLCInventors: James S. Petrek, Michael C. Schmittdiel, William D. Homberg
