Publication number: 20240072690Abstract: Systems and methods for power tools having touch sensors. One power tool includes a housing, a motor, a first handle, a second handle, and a controller. The first handle includes a user input configured to be actuated by a first hand of a user. The second handle includes a touch sensor configured to detect a second hand of the user on the second handle. The controller is configured to determine whether the user input is actuated, determine whether the second hand of the user is on the second handle, control, in response to both the user input being actuated and the second hand of the user being on the second handle, the motor to drive the motor, and prohibit, in response to the user input being actuated and the second hand of the user not being on the second handle, operation of the motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Dominick S. Ropella, Zachary J. Evans, William Booth Howarth

Publication number: 20190029591Abstract: The present invention is based on the finding that enrichment of D3-creatinine in a urine sample following oral administration of a single defined dose of D3-creatine can be used to calculate total-body creatine pool size and total body skeletal muscle mass in a subject. The invention further encompasses methods for detecting creatinine and D3-creatinine in a single sample. The methods of the invention find use, inter alia, in diagnosing disorders related to skeletal muscle mass, and in screening potential therapeutic agents to determine their effects on muscle mass.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2018Publication date: January 31, 2019Applicants: GLAXOSMITHKLINE LLC, THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Marc K. HELLERSTEIN, William J. EVANS

Patent number: 8758433Abstract: A system and method for performing an ocular surgical procedure is provided. The design provides an intra-ocular lens (IOL) to an eye through an incision in the eye by assessing IOL insertion conditions, translating said IOL insertion conditions into a desired force range for insertion of the IOL via the incision, controlling a power source to move the IOL to the eye, monitoring conditions, such as force encountered, while controlling the power source. The design employs feedback of the force encountered and selectively alters force applied based on force encountered.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.Inventors: Mark S. Cole, Kevin R. Springer, Rob Raney, William J. Evans, Patrick A. Myall, Jonathan Wyler

Patent number: 8373085Abstract: Plasma cutter and welder units are provided for fabricating a pipe. The plasma cutter and welder unit include a support structure having a carriage rotatably supported thereon. A plasma cutter nozzle and a weld nozzle are mounted to the carriage. A drive mechanism adjusts positioning of the plasma cutter and weld nozzles through varying control by a controller during operation. Additionally, a bearing support is provided for cradling the pipe during fabrication. The bearing support includes a plurality of bearing plates. A wedge structure is secured to each of the bearing plates and to a fixture base to form a nest for receiving the pipe. An isolation pad is disposed between the wedge structure and the fixture base.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: The Viking CorporationInventors: Kenneth G. Vos, Thomas E. Winebrenner, Ryan H. Hansen, William J. Evans, IV

Patent number: 5797345Abstract: Electrical instrument gage that has a pointer indicator member mounted on a rotatable shaft extending from the gage and including an electrically energizable light source mounted on and extending along the pointer portion of the indicator member. The light source is preferably an electroluminescent lamination that contains a pair of flex circuit terminal contacts extending from its base end. The light source is adhesively attached to the pointer portion of the indicator member. The base element of the indicator member contains a socket portion with a cylindrical opening configured to provide a friction fit to the axial shaft extending from the gage. The outer cylindrical surface of the socket contains an electrically conductive area and the gage contains an electrical wiper contact that makes continual electrical interconnection with the conductive portion of the socket over its rotational range.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William J.
