  • Publication number: 20240237184
    Abstract: An electrode for a liquid-cooled plasma arc torch is provided that includes a torch body and a cathodic element. The electrode includes an electrode body having a proximal end and a distal end extending along a central longitudinal axis. The electrode also includes a retention region located at the proximal end of the electrode body. The retention region is shaped to engage a first portion of the torch body for retaining the electrode within the torch body. The electrode additionally includes a current interface region located axially proximal to the retention region on the electrode body. The current interface region configured to slidably engage a second portion of the torch body while electrically communicating with the cathodic element of the plasma arc torch. The electrode further includes a sealing member circumferentially disposed about the electrode body. The sealing member is located axially distal to the current interface region and the retention region.

  • Publication number: 20240083013
    Abstract: A stand for a power tool or an appliance, wherein the stand includes a base for mounting to an external mounting surface, a transitioning arrangement having one end mounted to the base and an opposed end remote from the base, and a mount for mounting the power tool or appliance thereon that is mounted on the opposed end of the transitioning arrangement, wherein the transitioning arrangement enables the mounting formation to be displaced between a raised inoperative configuration for storage, and a lowered operative configuration for use.

  • Patent number: 11192451
    Abstract: A method for managing energy to a transport climate control system from a vehicle electrical system is provided. The vehicle electrical system includes a vehicle power network and an auxiliary power network connected to a transport climate control load network via a DC regulated bus. The method includes monitoring a vehicle voltage of the vehicle power network and determining whether the vehicle power network requires holdover assistance based on the vehicle voltage. Also, the method includes the bus sending vehicle power energy generated by the vehicle power network to the transport climate control load network without assistance of the auxiliary power network when the controller determines that the vehicle power network has sufficient power capacity available, and the bus sending the vehicle power energy and auxiliary power energy stored by the auxiliary power network to the transport climate control load network when the controller determines that the vehicle power network requires holdover assistance.

  • Patent number: 9820752
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for releasably constricting one or more objects, and in particular to a restricting blood to an injured appendage comprising an elongate band and capture device that cooperate to form a releasable, adjustable loop. A release lever and a parallel thumb mount are compressed to release the elongate band from the capture device, where the thumb mount is configured to remain fixed while the release lever rotates about a fulcrum bar to disengage a projection that locks the size of the loop.
