X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM WITH A COMBINED FILTER AND COLLIMATOR POSITIONING MECHANISM
A radiation therapy system includes an X-ray imaging system that is configured with a combined and simplified filter and collimator positioning mechanism. In addition, an X-ray imager of the RT system is only positioned at a few discrete locations within a plane that is a fixed distance from the imaging X-ray source when generating X-ray images. As a result, for each of these discrete imaging positions, the simplified filter and collimator positioning mechanism positions a specific collimator-filter combination in a specific location between the X-ray source and the imager.
COMBINATION AC DISCONNECT SWITCH AND SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE
An AC disconnect switch with integral surge protection. The intrinsic pullout head of the AC disconnect switch embodies a surge protection device, thereby eliminating the need for an extrinsic surge protection device.
ROTARY LOCKOUT TAGOUT LATCH SYSTEM
A latch system for an electrical equipment enclosure includes a latch arm receiver adapted to be connected to an associated enclosure door. A latch arm assembly is adapted to be connected in operative engagement with an associated circuit breaker. The latch arm assembly includes a chassis and a latch arm that moves relative to the chassis between: (i) a first arm position; (ii) a second arm position; and (iii) an intermediate arm position between the first arm position and the second arm position. A latch arm spring biases the latch arm toward its first arm position. A handle is rotatably connected to the chassis and operatively connected to the toggle of the circuit breaker. The handle is movable to and between an ON handle position, a TRIP handle position, an OFF handle position, and a RESET handle position. The handle is operatively connected to the latch arm such that the latch arm is positioned in the second arm position when the handle is located in said RESET handle position. The latch arm spring biases the latch arm into one of the first position and the intermediate position when the handle is in any one of said ON handle position, said TRIP handle position, and said OFF handle position. A lockout plunger is connected to the handle to rotate with the handle and is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein the lockout plunger prevents movement of the handle from the OFF handle position to the ON handle position when the lockout plunger is in its engaged position
Combination AC disconnect switch and surge protection device
An AC disconnect switch with integral surge protection. The intrinsic pullout head of the AC disconnect switch embodies a surge protection device, thereby eliminating the need for an extrinsic surge protection device.
POLYMERIC GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH METALLIC FACE
A golf club head includes a club face and a body. The club face is formed from a metallic material and includes a first, hitting surface, a second, rear surface that is opposite the first surface, and a flange that is separated from the second surface by a transverse distance. The body is formed from a polymeric material and includes a crown, a sole, a hosel, and a face support. The club face and the body cooperate to define a closed volume, and the face support extends to opposing sides of the flange and is operative to couple the club face to the body.
Switch device for a power tool
An operating device (1) for a power tool, including at least one first and second switching element (40, 50), the first switching element (40) being settable to a first and a second mode, and the second switching element (50) being settable to a first and a second mode, the first switching element (40) including at least one first signaling means (21) for the particular signaling of the first or second mode, and the second switching element (50) including at least one second signaling means (22) for the particular signaling of the first or second mode. The operating device is designed in such a way that the second switching element (50) is settable from the first mode to the second mode only when the first switching element (40) is set from the first mode to the second mode.
APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN ELECTRICAL NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
An apparatus for an electrical control assembly having at least one control member that is electrically connected to an electrical component, the at least one control member supported by an attachment assembly, which is disposed in a cavity of the electrical control assembly and includes a recess, the at least one control member movable between a first position and a second position is disclosed. The apparatus includes a structural assembly that is removably insertable in the recess of the attachment assembly, a through-beam emitter having an emitter member that is attached to a first end portion of the structural assembly and a receiver member that is attached to a second end portion of the structural assembly, the emitter member aligned to emit a light beam along a straight line of sight to the receiver member, and an electrical circuit.
Input device
An input device includes: a substrate; a first detection electrode that detects input to the input device; a light emitter that emits light when the input is performed; a body plate disposed on the front surface side of the substrate and through which the light is transmitted; and a light guide including an incident surface from which the light enters and a light exit surface from which the light entered from the incident surface exits. A design portion that is light transmissive is disposed on an opposite side of the body plate to the substrate. A penetration hole penetrates through the substrate at a position opposite the design portion. The light guide is disposed in the penetration hole with the incident surface oriented facing a light emitting surface of the light emitter and the light exit surface oriented facing the design portion with the body plate interposed therebetween.
User programmable pushbutton breaker switch
A programmable pushbutton breaker switch having a pushbutton, a plurality of amperage indicating light emitting diodes (LEDs), a plurality of breaker circuits, and a plurality of LED light pipes in an interior of the pushbutton. Each of the LEDs is associated with a specific breaker circuit and with a specific light pipe. Light from a specific LED passes through a specific LED light pipe and produces an indicator light on the top of the pushbutton. The indicator light identifies an amperage amount, shown on the top of the pushbutton, of a specific breaker circuit. A programming switch inside the programmable pushbutton breaker switch allows the operation of the pushbutton to select a desired breaker amperage amount from a plurality of breaker amperage amounts shown on the top of the pushbutton and to set and store the desired amperage amounts in the programmable pushbutton breaker switch.
Motion enable mechanism with capacitive sensor
A motion-enable device includes a mechanical switch and a capacitive sensor with a sensing region that is located adjacent to the mechanical switch. The mechanical switch enables a first signal when closed or actuated that indicates that the mechanical switch is in an active state. The capacitive sensor enables a second signal when a conductive object is disposed in the sensing region, where the second signal indicates that the capacitive sensor is in an active state. Enablement of operation of an apparatus depends on receipt of both the first signal and the second signal. The mechanical switch and the capacitive sensor act as the two separate switches required by functional safety requirements for a motion enable device. Because the sensing region of the capacitive sensor is adjacent to the mechanical switch, the first and second signals are generated when an operator actuates the mechanical switch with a single digit.
