Abstract: A pedestal leg assembly includes a pedestal leg and floor base. The leg includes a plurality of teeth near the bottom end of the leg and a connecting bolt in a threaded engagement with the bottom end of the leg. The floor base includes a recessed portion having a slot in its bottom surface to receive the bolt and a release mechanism configured to pivot between a lock position and a release position. In lock position the release mechanism engages at least one of the teeth to prevent rotation of the pedestal leg in at least one direction. When pivoted into release position, the release mechanism is moved away from engagement with the teeth to allow rotation of the pedestal leg in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The pedestal leg assembly may include a powered connection to receive input power and/or a communication signal at the floor base and transfer the power and communication signals to a supported table top surface.

Abstract: A method of determining wireless service quality in a shared environment includes receiving a wireless transmission from a client device in the shared environment and processing the received wireless transmission to determine a client modulation-and-coding scheme and a client device attribute associated with the client device. A rank of the client device is calculated using the client sample wherein the rank is based on a universal index that is related to the client modulation-and-coding scheme and related to the client device attribute. A wireless service quality of the shared environment is then inferred based on the calculated rank of the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting data from one or more scoring candidates, storing such data in a database, and transforming such data using various techniques and software modules to generate a personal tracking and development score that determines an individual's proficiency for skills that are mapped to a job profile are depicted. Users may be ranked or compared against each other with similar units of measure. An attribute score may be used as a benefit for career development similar to the benefit a credit score may provide in assessing a user's financial records.

Abstract: An abrasive wheel having an annular support disk and an abrasive ring fixed thereto comprises reinforcement layers on the front sides of the abrasive ring, a layer of an abrasive agent being disposed between the reinforcement layers. The reinforcement layers and the outer portion of the support disk overlap each other radially, at least one reinforcement layer, in this area, being connected with an annular flange of radial extension by means of an adhesive layer.

Abstract: This invention is a laser dental system for providing direct laser radiation to a desired location within a patient's mouth without the use of an optical fiber. The system directs the focal point of laser radiation to an exact location by a focus sensor and maintains focus by a positioning clamp. The focus sensor, laser pad termination system and positioning clamp also provides for control of laser radiation pulse firing. The system further includes a cooling system for cooling the surface to be engaged by laser radiation with a nonaqueous solution. The cooling system applies pulses of nonaqueous solution synchronously in between pulses of laser radiation. The system also provides for performance of surgical procedures such as root canals, whereby infected areas of a tooth are accessed through a hole drilled in the gums and jaw bone.

Abstract: An abrasive wheel, in particular an abrasive cutting-off wheel, comprises an annular cylindrical inner support of metal and an abrasive ring surrounding the latter, both being connected with each other. The abrasive ring projects on both sides from the support in the direction of the common axis. The abrasive ring can be ground off completely. The support is re-usable or at least recyclable.

Abstract: An electric motor, in particular an electric small-size motor for driving windshield wipers on motor vehicles including a cup-shaped motor housing, a gear housing closing one front side of the motor housing by an end shield and having a cup-shaped section for receiving gearing elements and a cover closing the cup-shaped section of the gear housing, a holding device for an electric component positioned in a pocket of the cup-shaped section of the gear housing, in particular a holding device for at least one noise suppressor as coil, capacitor or diode, which electric component is connected in an electrically conductive way with a carbon brush arranged in the motor housing.

Abstract: A windshield wiper system for motor vehicles includes an electric motor which drives at least one wiper during normal wiper operation, too and fro between two reversing positions within a wiping area. When the wiper system has been switched off by means of an operating switch, the wiper is moved to a concealed parking position outside the wiping area. Upon switching on of the wiper system and during normal operation the motor runs in one direction of rotation, but for moving the wipers into the parking position the motor runs in the other direction of rotation. A position switch is changed over by a switching member coupled with a rotating drive member of the electric motor. The position switch, after the operating switch has been switched off, releases a signal for reversing the polarity and in the parking position releases a signal for switching off the electric motor.

Abstract: This invention describes an electric motor on whose gear housing cap are secured plug contacts for a mating plug. Pin terminals which project perpendicularly from the gear housing cap are used as plug contacts. Various pin terminals are fixed on the cap, while other pin terminals are carried by a separate structural member which may be locked on the cap.
