Noreen M. O'SULLIVAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240035822
    Abstract: A laser beam generating device includes a housing a first laser diode which generates a visible first output beam which projects outside of the housing onto a surface and a second laser diode which generates a visible second output beam which projects outside of the housing onto the surface. The laser beam generating device has a first mode in which the first laser diode and the second laser diode are both on. In the first mode, the first laser diode is operated at a first duty cycle the second laser diode is operated at a second duty cycle. The first duty cycle and the second duty cycle are staggered.

  • Patent number: 10363614
    Abstract: A laser level including a housing. At least one laser generator supported by the housing and configured to emit at least one laser beam. A battery receiving portion configured to selectively receive a first battery pack and a second battery pack, the first and second battery packs providing power for the laser generator when received in the battery receiving portion. The first battery pack is configured to be coupleable to at least one of a drill, a saw and a sander. The second battery pack is configured to be blocked from coupling from the at least one of the drill, the saw and the sander to which the first battery pack is coupleable.
