Patent number: 10569399Abstract: A wire sleeve hand application tool includes a handle and a plurality of mandrels received in the handle and being selectively extendable from an axial end of the handle. Each of the mandrels are biased into a retracted position in which an entirety of the respective mandrel is received in the handle. Each of the mandrels are further axially extendable to an extended position in which an axial tip and a portion of the respective mandrel extends from the axial end of the handle while an opposite axial end of the respective mandrel remains supported within the handle. An extended mandrel may be used to insert a wire sleeve or tubular marker onto a wire or other elongate member.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Brady Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Sohail Anwar, Michael Radford, Terrance Adams

Patent number: 10460544Abstract: A lockout/tagout or smart isolation device includes a wireless link, a non-volatile memory, and a controller in communication with the wireless link and the non-volatile memory. The wireless link is in selective communication with a wireless identification device, such as a keycard, carried by a user. The controller is programmed to receive a signal from the wireless link and write usage information about the device to at least a portion of the non-volatile memory such that the portion of the non-volatile memory storing the usage information cannot be erased or re-written thereby securely storing this usage information. This lockout/tagout or smart isolation device may be standalone or be part of a system that may potentially serve as part of a facility-wide safety system (for example, networked or in communication with a SCADA system).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Brady Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Gregory S. Retzlaff, Thomas Campbell, Thaddeus C. Stankowski, Sohail Anwar, Edward T. Cisek

Publication number: 20190220715Abstract: The present disclosure describes various systems and methods for object tracking and locating. An example method includes: receiving, from a first mobile device, a first input identifying a first location inside an establishment; receiving, from the first mobile device, a second RFID scan of an RFID tag affixed to a second mobile object; creating, in accordance with the first scan and the second RFID scan, a database relationship that identifies the second mobile object as being located at the first location inside the establishment; and storing the database relationship at a computer server system. The first input may include a first scan of a first tag affixed to the first location inside the establishment. The first scan may include an optical scan, and the first tag includes an encoded image.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2018Publication date: July 18, 2019Applicant: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventors: Jun Seok Park, Sohail Anwar, Bill Meserve, Timothy Wei Tie Qian, John Park, Marisa Fienup

Publication number: 20190221380Abstract: A lockout device for securing a circuit breaker switch is provided. The lockout device comprises an outer housing having side walls extending away from a base wall formed on one axial end of the outer housing to define a cavity. An arm is received within a portion of the outer housing. The arm received within a portion of the housing, the arm having a hook section and an engaging section positioned apart from one another to receive the circuit breaker switch therein. A spring is positioned between the base wall and the arm and biases the outer housing axially relative to the arm. A screw extends through the engaging section of the arm toward the hook, and is movable between the engaging section and the hook.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2018Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: Andrew N.

Patent number: 10228011Abstract: A lockout device configured to prevent access to a pipe flange connection comprises a bar, a pair of opposed cup sections, and an engagement mechanism. The pair of opposed cup sections may each include a main cup segment coupled to the bar and a hinged cup segment hingedly coupled to the main cup segment. One or more of the main cup segments can be slidably coupled to the bar and the engagement mechanism can be configured to selectively prevent the main cup segments(s) that is/are slidably coupled to the bar from sliding relative to the bar. This engagement mechanism or latch can be hinged on a side of the bar opposite a side of the bar on which the engagement mechanism includes openings for receiving one or more locks.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Brady Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: Sohail Anwar

Patent number: 8524027Abstract: A label dispensing device is disclosed for dispensing labels from a web that has a web path extending through the label dispensing device. The label dispensing device includes a dispensing member and a transition member. The dispensing member is shaped to effectuate a flexure of the web and includes a peel edge disposed along a portion of the web path. The transition member has a web control surface disposed along a portion of the web path. The web control surface is downstream of the peel edge and is configured to engage the first side of the web, thereby reducing the flexure of the web effectuated by the dispensing member.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Brady Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Sohail Anwar, Peter Hartmann

Patent number: 6309001Abstract: An article piercing end effector for an industrial robot. The end effector includes a mounting bracket designed to be coupled to the arm of a robot. Positioned on the bracket is an actuator that is coupled to and controls the movement of a first plate. The first plate is supported by two guide rods coupled to the actuator. The first plate includes a plurality of pairs of opposed forks removably mounted to its underside of the first plate. Positioned below the first plate is a second plate with a plurality of holes generally aligned with the tips of each of the pair of opposed forks. The second plate is fixedly attached to the mounting bracket by standoff rods. When the first plate is moved by the actuator toward the second plate, the forks extending from the first plate travel through the holes in the second plate, which holes are chamfered for easy operation. The tips of the forks thus move towards each other to pierce items of interest, such as baked goods positioned below the second plate.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2000Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignee: ABB Flexible Automation, Inc.Inventors: John P. Sherwin, Sohail Anwar
