Patent number: 9902001Abstract: A table saw includes a base, a work table having a cutting opening, a tank for receiving cooling liquid, a blade partly extending out from the cutting opening, and a guard assembly. The guard assembly includes a guard for covering the blade and for moving upwards under the action of a workpiece. In a working condition, at least a portion of the guard abuts against the workpiece, and the workpiece can slide relative to the guard. The guard has a guiding wall which abuts against the workpiece in the working condition and which guides the cooling liquid into a kerf in the workpiece formed by the blade. The table saw effectively controls the cooling liquid splashed during the cutting operation of the workpiece and prevents the cooling liquid from splashing to dirty the operator, the work table, and the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Nanjing Bovon Power Tools Co., Ltd.Inventors: Thomas Bernhardt, Seow Bak Chai, Hongbo Li, Xin Wu, Xiaoxiang Zhao

Patent number: 9454743Abstract: Methods and apparatus for simulating risk tolerance and associated adversary costs in a distributed business process are disclosed. The methods and apparatus simulate an interdependent business process, such as a financial transaction system, in a secure distributed manner. Each business entity that is part of the interdependent business process models itself on a local client device at any chosen level of detail. A simulation server connects the separate client based simulations into one large simulation. Details of each local simulation may be hidden from other simulation participants. However, interruptions in business flow caused by simulated disruptions introduced at the simulation server and/or a client device are propagated to all of the effected simulation participants via the simulation server. In addition, the simulation server receives inputs from users indicative of risk tolerance levels and associated response actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Norwich University Applied Research InstitutesInventors: Eric W. Braman, Andrew W. Cutts, Michael Geilich, Dennis McGrath, Eric Richardson, Jeffrey A. Schmidt, Robert Schmidt, Thomas Bernhardt

Patent number: 9124055Abstract: A slip ring assembly for the electrical connection of two rotating parts has at least a sliding track with V-grooves. At least two brushes of electrically conductive material are contacting the sliding track within the V-groove. The brushes are connected electrically with each other and mounted at different levels resulting in a different distance to the rotation axis of the sliding track. This results in an improved resistance against shock and vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: SCHLEIFRING UND APPARATEBAU GMBHInventors: Johannes Ott, Thomas Bernhardt, Christian Holzapfel, Michael Sergl

Patent number: 8281872Abstract: A drill hammer for the three operation modes of drilling, chiseling, and hammer-drilling has a motor with a motor shaft; a gear with an intermediate shaft, a driving gear wheel, a toothed slaving shaft , a shifting hub, and a driven gear wheel; a percussion mechanism with a wobble disk and a wobble gear wheel; and a driven shaft with a driving gear wheel and a drill chuck. The gear is configured to be changed over easily without axial displacement of running gears that mesh with one another so that the drill hammer is more robust, shorter or more compact, and lighter in weight. The drill hammer is thus simply and economically constructed and whose efficiency is not impaired by the gear shifting mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Achim Duesselberg, Andre Ullrich, Helmut Heinzelmann, Thomas Bernhardt, Michael Weiss, Tobias Herr
