Abstract: A cordless compressor has an air storage tank, a pump for pressuring air within the air storage tank, a motor driving pump, a power tool battery pack connected to the motor, a discharge port connected to the air storage tank, and a regulator disposed between the discharge port and the air storage tank. The pump can raise the air pressure within the air storage tank from 0 psi to about 135 psi in less than 135 seconds. With such arrangement, a compressor having an air pressure within the air storage tank of 135 psi set at a 70 psi setting can power an 18 gauge nailer connected to the compressor to drive more than 1200 nails on a single battery charge.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing product packages comprises operating first and second feedback control loops where product package weight is averaged and used to determine one of two possible adjustments to change the product fill rate and the volume of the product. The feedback loops operate in one of a plurality of index levels. The first feedback loop seeks to improve performance by making adjustments to the fill rate and volume of the product, while incrementally moving to more stable index levels requiring tighter tolerances and package weight averages based on more product packages. The second feedback loop seeks to preserve stability by making its own adjustments to the fill rate and volume of the product if large product package weight fluctuations are sensed. The second feedback loop can move operation to less stable index levels having wider tolerances and package weight averages based on fewer product packages.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein that provide user(s) with a customized landing page that is based on a location (e.g., a business or organization) at which the user is located. The customized landing page may be configured to enable a consumer to access the Internet via an Internet hotspot provided by the business or organization. The customized landing page may require the consumer(s) to perform certain actions before enabling a consumer to access the Internet. Such actions include, but are not limited to, viewing advertisements, providing demographic information and/or contact information, and/or interacting with one or more services. Upon connecting to the Internet, various performance indicators associated with the consumer(s) may be determined. An administrator of a hotspot provider may be enabled to view the performance indicator(s) and market themselves accordingly.
