Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709231000

Abstract:

A method (and system) of transferring data of multimedia objects from servers to clients using memory in video-on-demand clusters, includes dividing multimedia objects into segments and independently serving and caching the segments on a plurality of servers, retrieving the segments from the servers, directing the client to the server that is responsible for serving the at least one of the segments using a redirection algorithm, and predicting a likely sequence of segments that will be requested by the client and prefetching data from a next segment in the likely sequence of segments and loading the next segment into memory within one of the plurality of servers.

International Classification:

B25B 23/14

US Classification:

173181

Abstract:

A system, and a method of using a system, for controlled tool operation. The method includes providing a tool used in a force application such as a such torque application. The tool communicates with a controller which can communicate with the tool, and to a display in communication with the tool and the controller. The controller can be programmed with operational information about a tool operation. Information related to the operational information is displayed to a user during use. Service information including at least information about an amount of force applied during use is recorded and stored in the controller. Also disclosed is a computerized system for controlled tool operation which sends operational instructions to the tool before use and retrieves service information from the tool after use.

Nathan J. Lee - Escondido CA, US

Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Kenosha WI

International Classification:

G06F 13/42
B25B 23/142
H02J 7/00

Abstract:

A communication port interface facilitates charging of a power source, such as a battery, while the power source remains coupled to a tool. The communication port interface also facilitates downloading of torque and/or angle log information from an electronic torque tool to an external device. Torque and/or angle preset job information may be entered in client software and uploaded from the external device to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface. Additional information including real time clock information and wrench system parameters may be uploaded to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface.

Appl. No.:

14/791249

Inventors:

Nathan Lee - Lakewood CA, US

International Classification:

H02G 3/12

Abstract:

An enclosure such as an electrical junction box has fixed clamping flanges exterior to the enclosure, screws rotatable relative to the enclosure and operative for drawing clamping brackets from an initial elevated position towards the clamping flanges for clamping the edges of an opening cut in drywall or the like, thereby to fasten the enclosure inside a wall or ceiling. The clamping brackets are initially retracted in the enclosure and rotation of the screws releases the brackets to an extended clamping position relative to the clamping flanges.

Inventors:

Jerry A. King - Hacienda Hts CA, US
Duane A. Vallejos - La Puente CA, US
Andrew R. Lobo - Wadsworth IL, US
Chris Lawton - Costa Mesa CA, US
Nathan Lee - Escondido CA, US

International Classification:

B25B 23/142

US Classification:

81467

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to electronic torque tools that allow an offset length of an adapter or extension being used in conjunction with the tool to be input into the tools. The tools may also include an input for a head length, when the head of the tool is interchangeable. The tools use the input(s) to calculate a correction factor. The correction factor is used to adjust the torque measurement of the tools so that the tools display the actual torque value without the need for re-calibration or the performance of external calculations.

Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Kenosha WI

International Classification:

B25B 23/142

US Classification:

81479

Abstract:

An electronic torque wrench or other tool, and a method and a computer program for using the same, are disclosed. The disclosed systems allow a user to operate the tool in either a manual mode or automatic mode. In the manual mode, torque or angle targets are input into the wrench before the torqueing operation, and in the automatic mode, preset torque or angle targets are selected by the user. A user can also lock the tool so only a specific torqueing operation can be used without unlocking the tool. The torque and angle values can be input simultaneously such that a work piece can be torqued to a predetermined torque and angle without separate operations. An indicator can also be implemented that indicates the progress of the torqueing operation.

International Classification:

G01L 5/24
G06F 11/30

US Classification:

702 41

Abstract:

Real-time clock circuitry integrated in an electronic torque tool facilitates time-stamping of torque data acquired by the electronic torque tool. The time stamped torque data may be displayed on a display integrated in the electronic torque tool or may be communicated to an external device. The real-time clock circuitry may be adjusted based on information received from an external device or may be manually input to a keypad of the electronic torque tool. A calibration timer integrated in the electronic torque tool monitors time between calibrations of the tool and notifies a user upon expiration of a calibration interval. A secondary power source is coupled to the real-time clock circuitry to maintain power to the real-time clock circuitry during battery replacement.
