Abstract: An air filtration assembly may include an intake which may be repositionable relative to a work tool, a housing which may be operably coupled to the intake and may include a filter, a motor and processing circuitry, an exhaust operably coupled to the housing and an airflow monitoring assembly which may be operably coupled to the intake. The processing circuitry may control the operation of the motor and the airflow monitoring assembly. Air may enter the air filtration assembly at the intake responsive to operation of the motor, before passing through the filter and exiting out the exhaust. The airflow monitoring assembly may include an airflow sensor that may measure a mass flow rate of the air entering the intake and a feedback interface that may indicate an airflow status based on the mass flow rate measurement from the airflow sensor.

Abstract: An air filtration assembly for filtering gas or particles generated responsive to operation of the work tool may include an intake which may be repositionable relative to the work tool, a housing which may be operably coupled to the intake and may include a filter, a motor and processing circuitry, an exhaust operably coupled to the housing and a user interface via which a user may provide control signals to the processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may control an operating speed of the motor based on input received at the user interface. The user interface may include a projector module operably coupled to the processing circuitry to generate a display on a surface at or near a workstation at which the work tool may be operated.

Abstract: A soldering tool may include a tool body comprising circuitry configured to interface with a controller, and a tip portion including a tip that is heated to melt solder and a handpiece that is graspable by an operator. The tip portion includes a heater and a sensor disposed in the tip. The tip portion includes a tip memory device disposed at the handpiece. The tip memory device is configured to store parametric data. The tip memory device is configured to exchange data with the controller.
