Abstract: A power tool includes a housing from which a handle extends, a foot plate coupled to the housing and configured to contact a workpiece during a cutting operation, a drive assembly having a first motor that is configured to drive a cutter about or along a cutting axis, and a second motor disposed within the housing and configured to move the cutter relative to the foot plate in a direction perpendicular to the cutting axis.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a sensor, a machine learning controller, a motor, and an electronic controller supported by the housing. The sensor is configured to generate sensor data indicative of an operational parameter of the power tool. The electronic controller includes an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes a machine learning control program. The electronic controller is configured to receive the sensor data. The sensor data includes a motor speed of the motor, a motor current of the motor, and a motion characteristic of the power tool. The electronic controller is configured to process the sensor data using the machine learning control program and generate an output based on the sensor data. The output can include an identified type of application that is being performed by the power tool.

Abstract: Systems and methods minimize loading of servers which automatically provide upgrades to downstream processors minimize server loading by randomly distributing the upgrade requests. Each of the downstream processors can establish its own randomized next time for an upgrade. Upgrade time intervals can be limited to off-peak evening and weekend hours.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided. The method includes the steps of an imaging device capturing an image of a display of a medical instrument, an image processor determining a location of a patient biometric measurement within the image, an optical character recognition module recognizing a set of alphanumeric characters within the determined location and a communication processor sending the recognized characters to a remotely located healthcare database.
