Abstract: A folding knife with a push button automatic open spring configuration to propel the pivoted knife blade outwardly from between the support handle frames. A bifurcated compound spring configuration has a transverse blade engagement portion and a pair of returning integral handle engagement arms against which the spring is compressed when in closed folded position within the handle. The bifurcated spring exerts opening force on the blade when the blade is released to a full open use position.

Abstract: An alignment device for use with a flame detector having a field of view includes a body, a visualization system in connection with the body and including a light source positioned at a fixed position relative to the body, and an optics system including one or more optical elements which interact with a beam of light from the light source to project a pattern of light indicative of an area of the field of view of the flame detector for a determined distance from the flame detector. The indicated area of the field of view is larger than an area of a projection of the beam of light from the light source. The alignment device further includes a connector in connection with the body to place the alignment device in removable connection with the flame detector.

Abstract: The tokenization process of input text and visuals (e.g., images, videos, or frames of videos) can be separated into two stages. In a first stage, a large batch size can be used for text encoding and visual encoding while focusing on the first objective of an alignment loss and mean square loss objectives. In a second stage, the text encoder can be stopped, and the visual encoder can be prevented from making additional changes. The second stage focuses on a second loss objective of a weighted sum of the mean square loss, the perceptual loss, and the generative adversarial network loss objectives. In the second stage, a discrete set of tokens can be generated from the inputs, and the set of tokens can be further fine-tuned. A transformer, with an autoregressive model, can be applied to the set of discrete tokens.

Abstract: An accessory mount device for a power tool, wherein a reference axis forms an axis of rotation of the accessory mount device, the accessory mount device including a housing forming an interior volume, the housing including a ramped surface in the interior volume at which a bearing is positioned; a first plate forming a channel at which the bearing is positioned at the ramped surface to push the first plate along the reference axis; and a second plate configured to push a spool in the direction of the reference axis, wherein the bearing is configured to selectively push the first plate to the second plate when a centrifugal force threshold is exceeded, and wherein the second plate is allowed to rotate around the reference axis separate from the first plate.
