US Patent:

7953965, May 31, 2011
Filed:

Jun 13, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/157986
Inventors:

Fugen Qin - Baltimore MD, US
Daniele Brotto - Baltimore MD, US
Danh Trinh - Parkville MD, US
Regina Cunanan - Parkville MD, US
Andrew Seman - White Marsh MD, US
Assignee:

Black & Decker Inc. - Newark DE
International Classification:

G06F 15/177
US Classification:

713 1, 713 2, 717171
Abstract:

A power tool system component has a microprocessor, a one wire communication terminal connecting the microprocessor to an external device, and a flash memory storing: (a) an application program governing operation of an application mode during which the power tool system component is operated; and (b) a boot loader program governing operation of a boot loader mode during which at least part of the application program can be updated. The microprocessor accesses the flash memory and implements the boot loader program and the application program by setting up and observing a temporal window during which one or more predetermined conditions must be met for the boot loader mode to be entered. The predetermined conditions include successful completion of a calibration process that includes sending a calibration byte to the external device according to a format predetermined to allow the external device to adjust its baud rate for sending and receiving information. Upon successful completion of the conditions within the temporal window, the microprocessor sends a confirmation to the device that the conditions have been satisfied and enters the boot loader mode.

US Patent:

8418778, Apr 16, 2013
Filed:

Feb 24, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/404620
Inventors:

Scott Eshleman - Parkville MD, US
Craig Schell - Street MD, US
Andrew E. Seman - Pylesville MD, US
Daniel Puzio - Baltimore MD, US
Daniele C. Brotto - Baltimore MD, US
Joseph P. Kelleher - Parkville MD, US

Fugen Qin - Timonium MD, US
Assignee:

Black & Decker Inc. - Newark DE
International Classification:

E21B 15/04
US Classification:

173 1, 173 2, 173176, 173183, 173217
Abstract:

An improved method is provided for operating a power tool. The method includes: monitoring rotational motion of the power tool about an axis using a rotational motion sensor disposed in the power tool; determining a direction of the rotational motion about the axis; and driving the output member in a direction defined by the detected rotational motion of the tool, where the output member is driven by a motor residing in the power tool. Thus, the output member is drive clockwise when the rotational motion of the tool is clockwise about the axis and the output member is drive counter-clockwise when the rotational motion of the tool is counter-clockwise about the axis.
