  • Network for distributing multimedia signals over a primary signal distribution path
    Patent number: 6427237
    Abstract: A signal distribution network in which signals are distributed via a primary signal distribution path. Television signals are transmitted in a first frequency band, telephone signals are transmitted in a second frequency band, and data signals are transmitted in a third frequency band. Bidirectional terminal adapters are connected to each endpoint of the primary signal distribution path. The terminal adapters connect to end user devices which receive signals from the primary signal distribution path. In addition, the terminal adapters connect to signal sources which provide the signals to be distributed via the primary signal distribution path. In one embodiment, television signals received from a CATV television network are received by a television distribution module.

  • Integrated precharging and discharging for electric vehicle drive system capacitors
    Patent number: 10773601
    Abstract: A shared resistor performs precharging and discharging functions of capacitors in an electric vehicle drive system. In a precharge state, the shared resistor is connected between the capacitors and a DC source via a precharge relay. In a discharge state, the resistor is connected across the capacitors via a discharge transistor. Otherwise, the resistor is disconnected. A bypass switch is connected between the resistor and an input capacitor. The bypass switch is rendered conductive during the precharge state and during the discharge state. The discharge transistor is activated only during the discharge state. As a result, the invention uses less components by virtue of eliminating separate resistance elements for pre-charging and discharging and by eliminating discharge switches dedicated to separate resistances. The circuit integration and the placement of components outside the inverter module improves overall system cost and packaging size.

  • FRACTURING FLUID DEFLECTING AND SCREENING INSERT
    Publication number: 20130306304
    Abstract: Fracturing headers and connected conduits are fit with one or more fluid screening and wear minimizing inserts. Tubular screen inserts are provided to screen a flow of fracturing fluid through manifolds prior to, or at, the fracturing header. Each tubular screen insert has a tubular wall having an insert bore, an endwall and an open inlet. A plurality of openings, about the tubular wall, provide fluid communication between the bore and an annular area outside the wall. Oriented in a flow conduit with the closed endwall upstream, the insert excludes and sheds debris therefrom. Oriented with the closed endwall downstream, the insert receives and stores debris. Pairs of inserts, retained in opposing inlet ports, serve to screen fluid and deflect erosive flow from tools such as coil tubing extending therethrough. A fracturing block fit with opposing inlet ports can also be fit with an outlet port for flowback operations.

  • Power tool
    Patent number: 5601483
    Abstract: A power tool, which is preferably configured as a right-angle grinder, has a motor-driven hollow spindle to drive a tool, which is fastened between a clamping flange and a counterflange by means of a quick clamping device via a tension spindle, coaxial with the hollow spindle, that is tensioned in the axial direction by means of elastic elements and is displaceable in the axial direction relative to the hollow spindle, by means of a clamping lever, between a clamped position in which the tool is nonrotatably retained between the flanges, and a released position. The clamping lever is mechanically coupled to the motor switch by means of a link rod in such a way that the clamping lever can be moved into the released position only when the motor is switched off.
