  • Patent number: 10807216
    Abstract: A clamp for use with an impact tool; the clamp having a nut for use with impact tools includes a screw on top, a safety handle, and a hole for carabiner clip. In use, a user adjusts the top screw to a length option desired, such that it doesn't slide onto object to be clamped. The clamp further comprises a grip on the safety handle. The clamp provides faster and more efficient use when using an impact tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9967711
    Abstract: An attempt is made by a portable device to wirelessly detect an object. While detected, respective sweeps are executed. At a sweep, each channel in a plurality of wireless channels, sequentially pulsed during the sweep by the object, are recorded using a receiver of the device, thereby obtaining a plurality of signal measurements for the sweep. Each measurement corresponds to a channel. The measurements are filtered against measurements for corresponding channels obtained from prior sweeps, thereby obtaining filtered signal measurements for the sweep. Signal measurements that satisfy an outlier criterion are eliminated from the sweep. A measure of central tendency of the remaining filtered signal measurements is converted to a distance between the object and the device for the respective sweep using a path loss function. This is repeated for each sweep thereby determining a plurality of distances. The sweeps are aborted when the device fails to detect the object.

  • Patent number: 8332907
    Abstract: A remote device may receive a policy definition, search a file system for files that are to be protected, and disposition identified files to protect the files. After completing the protection, a report is generated and transmitted to a centralized location. The policy definition may include keywords, directory paths, metadata, or other information that may be used to identify files for protection. After identification, the files may be dispositioned by removal, tagging, encrypting, applying rights management, or other actions.
