Abstract: A nut driver is provided in which a torque is delivered to a fastener while a bolt is rotationally maintained in a fixed position thereby tightening the fastener onto the bolt. The nut driver also removably attaches to pulse gun and includes a planetary gear arrangement. The nut driver is interchangeable with a variety of pulse guns. Although, conventional devices provide a torque to rotationally couple a nut to a bolt, the feature of interchangeability which allows utilization of different pulse guns is not available. The ability to interchange pulse guns allows the nut driver to easily be used with a variety of drive devices or pulse guns. Furthermore, the nut driver converts the variety of pulse guns into useful driving tools for fastening nut and bolts or other fastener pairs together.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring electrodes for the electrodeposition of paint onto metallic workpieces includes detecting current from the electrodes and displaying a plot of current versus time. A method and apparatus for controlling electrodeposition of paint onto metallic workpieces includes monitoring current from electrodes over time and adjusting a rate of current increase over time. The monitor and/or control may be performed for each electrode individually or for the electrodes as a group. The monitor and/or control allows bad and/or poorly positioned electrodes to be located. The monitor and/or control may be used to stop the electrodeposition coating after a sufficiently thick coating has been obtained.

Abstract: A combination fishing device consisting of an ice skimmer and gaff respectively mounted on extensibly connected handles, and a spring latch carried by one of the handles, when the handles are extended, engages an annular groove in the other handle and automatically releasably latches said handles in extended position.

Abstract: The disc brake (10) includes a parking cartridge device (28) which transfers reaction forces of the mechanical parking actuator (36) directly to the caliper housing (12) and also provides support and guidance for a cable (90) attached to lever arms (70) of the mechanical parking actuator (36). The mechanical parking actuator (36) is disposed within an opening (34) of the parking cartridge housing (30), the parking cartridge housing (30) having a plurality of through openings (42) so that bolts (50) may be secured at one end to the caliper housing (12) and at the other end to a bracket (60) which abuts an end (33) of the parking cartridge housing (30).

Abstract: A disc brake assembly is provided with a plate which cooperates with a pair of pistons to prevent rotation of one of the pistons relative to the caliper. The plate is further designed to act as a heat shield for a boot assembly associated with the piston.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly includes a caliper assembly and a torque member with matching slots to receive a pin assembly. A bolt is connected with the torque member arm to prevent separation between the caliper assembly and the torque member in the event the pin assembly separates from the torque member and caliper assembly.

Abstract: A disc brake and dust shield therefore comprises an inboard plate secured to an axle flange and an outboard plate secured to a rotatable hub. The plates cooperates with a wheel assembly to define a cavity receiving and protecting a rotor from contaminants.

Abstract: A heat shield (50) is positioned on a piston (14) in spaced relation to a friction element (16) to prevent heat transfer directly by conduction. The heat shield (50) opposes a boot seal (24) to keep the latter also spaced from the friction element (16).

Abstract: Method of logging a plurality of underground formations wherein a first and a second gamma ray emitting radioactive tracers with different energy levels are introduced into the formations. Logs are produced of the tracers as the traced fluids pass through the formations and thereafter the logs are analyzed to determined changes in effective permeabilities and sweep of the formations.

Abstract: This invention relates to determining the movable oil saturation in underground rock reservoir by use of a log-inject-log technique. The formation rock adjacent to the wellbore is prepared such that the saturation conditions are representative of those in the interwell area. A pulsed neutron log is then run. A crude oil is injected into the formation. A second pulsed neutron log is then run. A chlorinated crude oil is injected into the formation to displace the previously injected crude oil. A third pulsed neutron log is then run. A salt water of known salinity is then injected into the well to displace a portion of the chlorinated crude oil and all of the formation water. A fourth pulsed neutron log is then run. Fresh water is then injected into the formation to displace the injected salt water. A fifth pulsed neutron time log is then run. These five logs are then used to determine the reservoir characteristics.
