International Classification:

B23P 19/02
B23P 19/04

US Classification:

294264, 29255

Abstract:

A bearing removal tool and method are provided for removing a bearing swaged in a housing with speed and ease of use without damaging the housing, where the bearing removal tool includes a locating fixture having an annular support engaging an outer race of the bearing, with the locating fixture further including a locating mandrel extending axially from a center of the annular support into a center of the bearing locating the bearing outer race relative to the annular support; a cutter head having an axially extending shank extending from one end received in a drill press chuck, with the cutter head having at least one tooth extending axially away from the shank for cutting a swaged lip of the outer race of the bearing on a side of the bearing opposite from the side of the bearing engaged by the annular support.

Abstract:

An articulated vehicle suspension system shoulder joint is disclosed. A vehicle includes a plurality of wheel assemblies; a plurality of rotating shoulder joints, each wheel assembly being mounted to a respective one of the shoulder joints and rotatable in a plane by the respective shoulder joint; and a chassis to which the shoulder joints are mounted. The shoulder joint for use in a vehicle suspension system includes a housing to which a wheel assembly may be attached for in-plane rotation; a drive; and a transmission engaged with the housing and the drive to reduce the speed of the drive motor as it drives the housing.

Inventors:

- Auburn Hills MI, US
Mike Cronin - Crosshaven/Co. Cork, IE
Michael S. Beck - Bull Valley IL, US

Assignee:

Johnson Controls Technology Company - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

G08B 21/24
G16H 40/20

Abstract:

A hand hygiene monitoring system is provided. The system includes a wearable tag device coupled to a user, and a reader device communicably coupled to the wearable tag device. The reader device is configured to detect a presence of the wearable tag device by receiving a first frequency message comprising a user identifier from the wearable tag device. The reader device is further configured to transmit a second frequency message to the wearable tag device requesting event log data. The second frequency has a higher frequency than the first frequency. The reader device is further configured to receive an event log data message from the wearable tag device at the second frequency, and to determine whether the wearable tag device has logged a wash station encounter within a configurable time period based on the event log data message.

Abstract:

Synthetic probes for detecting the activity of enzymes that catalyze reactions of post-translationally modified cysteine residues are described. The probes include “turn-on” probes that include a carbamate linkage that is cleaved via an intramolecular reaction with a free thiol produced by an enzyme catalyzed activity. The probes also include ratiometric, Michael addition-based probes that respond to enzymatic activity by a change in structure that results in a change in fluorescence properties. Methods of using the probes to detect enzymatic activity and disease are described. For example, the probes can be used to detect enzymatic activity in a variety of samples, including live cells and heterogeneous tissues. In addition, prodrugs that can be activated by enzymes that catalyze reactions of post-translationally modified cysteine residues and methods of using the prodrugs to treat disease are described.
