  • Publication number: 20220287291
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods for applying pesticides, herbicides, and other treatment chemicals to a surface. A roller application device for use in delivery of treatment chemicals to a landscape surface includes a handle assembly having a fluid connector configured to be connected to a treatment chemical source, and a roller applicator is connected to the handle assembly but configured to rotate about an axis. The handle assembly includes a fluid dispenser configured to deliver a treatment chemical from the treatment chemical source to the roller applicator, and the roller applicator is configured to absorb the treatment chemical in an outer surface of the roller applicator and transfer the treatment chemical to a surface upon contact with the surface.

  • Patent number: 8887828
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide a remotely adjustable feed system for remotely controlling the movement of a tool head on a machining tool along an axis of motion by means of converting reciprocal linear motion, i.e., back and forth linear motion, into rotary motion. The rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the distance of linear motion in each cycle of linear reciprocal motion and/or by varying the rate of linear reciprocal motion cycles per unit time. Alternatively, or in addition, the rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the amount of rotary motion that results from a given amount of reciprocal linear motion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the movement of the tool head may be controlled by directly controlling the rotary motion that drives the tool head along the axis of motion.

  • Patent number: 8181555
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a machining tool including two spaced apart flange members adapted to be coupled with a turbine rotor while the rotor is in a first portion of a turbine casing. A carousel may be coupled to the flange members and adapted to rotate relative to the flange members, and adapted to couple with a cutting tool to complete a machining operation. Position of the cutting tool may be sensed and information on the position may be transmitted wirelessly to an operator readable display.
