  • Patent number: 9584187
    Abstract: Systems and methods according to aspects of the subject technology provide non-interruptive filtering of transmission line communications. The non-interruptive filtering may physically isolate, in the frequency domain, independent networks that share a common transmission media, such as mains wires that are used to deliver both alternating current (AC) power and power line communication signals. The isolation provided by the non-interruptive filtering prevents the transmissions from the independent networks from interfering with each other. In one or more implementations, the non-interruptive filtering may be provided by one or more filters that include cores, such as ferrite cores, around which two mains wires, e.g. a mains live wire and a mains neutral wire, can be wound in opposite directions, respectively. Currents traveling on the mains wires through the filter in opposite phases cancel each other out, thereby blocking symmetric power line transmissions, while allowing AC power to pass through.

  • Patent number: 9350419
    Abstract: A system for coordinating transmissions of power line communication (PLC) devices may include a processor and a memory. The processor may be configured to receive channel state information (CSI) from primary PLC devices. The primary PLC devices may be communicatively coupled to secondary PLC devices via collocated power lines, such as bundled power lines. Thus, the transmission of a primary PLC device over a power line to a secondary PLC device may be electromagnetically coupled onto the other power lines, thereby causing far-end crosstalk (FEXT) interference with respect to other secondary PLC devices. The processor may be configured to determine precoding information for compensating for the FEXT interference based at least on the received CSI. The processor may be configured to provide at least a portion of the precoding information to the primary PLC devices and to coordinate precoded transmissions of the primary PLC devices to mitigate the FEXT interference.

  • Patent number: 6695181
    Abstract: A generally wedge-shaped mud box with a bottom wall has a mud outlet orifice through which mud will flow. An edge of the wedge-shaped box has a rectangularly shaped cover rotatably attached so as to be rotatable between an filling position and an operating position. A releasable biasing structure biases the cover toward a bottom wall of the box so as to force mud contained in the box toward the outlet orifice. A mud gun, including a hollow body with an inlet and an outlet orifice, is releasable attached to the outlet orifice of the box. When air under pressure is introduced into an air inlet of the gun, mud entering through the inlet orifice is forced out through the outlet orifice of the gun. A nozzle chassis is affixed to the gun with a plurality of different nozzles movably attached thereto, and each nozzle is movable between a stored and an aligned position so that only one nozzle of the plurality of nozzles is aligned with the outlet orifice of the gun at a time.

  • Patent number: 6634937
    Abstract: A clamping sander for receiving and holding a sheet of sandpaper, including a chassis plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a clamp plate having an upper surface and a lower surface. The clamp plate is coupled to the chassis plate and movable between a released position, spaced from the chassis plate, and a clamped position with the lower surface engaging the upper surface of the chassis plate. A clamping mechanism is carried by the chassis plate and the clamp plate for moving the clamp plate between the released position and the clamped position.

  • Patent number: 6540002
    Abstract: Mesh drywall tape dispensing apparatus includes a chassis with a pistol grip for one-hand operation, a tape reel, a tape guide roller mounted within the chassis, and a tape pressure roller mounted adjacent a front end of the chassis. A tape cutter trigger assembly is mounted within the chassis by the pivot pin of the guide roller and movable into a cutting position. The cutter includes a serrated knife edge directed away from the pressure roller at an acute angle to the tape extending from the guide roller to the pressure roller. A corner roller is pivotally mounted on the chassis for movement into a tape engaging position. The pistol grip and the tape reel are mounted on opposite sides of the chassis and adjacent a rear end with the pressure roller mounted adjacent the front end so that the apparatus is generally bounded by a first plane tangent to the pressure roller and bounding a tape roll on the reel and the corner roller therein and a second plane tangent to the pressure roller and the handle.

  • Patent number: 6146039
    Abstract: A mud box includes a bottom surface with an outlet orifice, sides, a cover pivotally attached along one edge, and a handle attached to the cover for positioning the box on a surface and applying extruding pressure to the cover for ejecting material through the orifice. A spring assembly is attached to the box and connected to apply extruding pressure to the cover. A primary lock is coupled to the spring assembly and the box, the primary lock has a locked position in which the spring assembly is prevented from applying extruding pressure to the cover and an unlocked position in which the spring assembly applies extruding pressure to the cover. The primary lock is activated by a wheel assembly which moves it into the locked position when the box and wheel assembly are disengaged from a surface and which moves it into the unlocked position when the wheel assembly and box are engaged with a surface.
