Patent number: 11936248Abstract: A power tool system includes a power tool having a tool housing. The tool housing includes a battery pack receptacle having a set of tool terminals. A brushless motor includes an output shaft operably coupled to drive a tool element, a stator having an outer diameter of approximately 60 mm to approximately 80 mm, and a stack length of approximately 75% to approximately 125% of the outer diameter of the stator. A controller is operably connected to the set of tool terminals and to the brushless motor to control power delivery to the brushless motor. A battery pack includes a battery pack housing connectable to the battery pack receptacle on the tool housing and a set of battery cells. The set of battery cells includes at least 15 battery cells each having a nominal voltage of approximately 3.6V and an impedance of approximately ?13 m?. A set of battery pack terminals is connectable to the set of tool terminals.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: John D. Cox, Michael Varipatis, Matthew J. Velderman, Christopher W. Shook

Patent number: 5113646Abstract: To evaulate the working line characteristics of a compressor of a gas turbine engine, fuel is supplied from the gas turbine engine fuel supply to a fuel accumulator via a control valve. The control valve is closed when a predetermined quantity of fuel is in the fuel accumulator, and a three way valve is adjusted to allow high pressure fluid from a fluid cylinder into the accumulator to pressurize the fuel. The fuel is then supplied from the accumulator via the valve to a combustion chamber to be burnt to increase the pressure in the combustion chamber and hence the compressor. The pressure of the fuel supplied which causes a surge is indicative of the working line characteristics of the compressor. The pressure and quantity of fuel supplied are varied until a surge is produced.Reworking of compressors with reduced surge margin can be carried out. Enables evaluation to take place while the engine is fixed to an aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1990Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Assignee: Rolls-Royce plcInventor: Michael J. Cox
