20230201905 · 2023-06-29 ·

The present invention relates to punching tool for mobile use, comprising a cylinder an adapter with fastening means attached thereto, the adapter being at least partially insertable into the cylinder at its first end optionally a spacer bushing, which has a receiving opening for the adapter and a lead-through for the fastening means, a die having a lead-through for the fastening means and a cavity, and a stamp which can be connected to the fastening means,
characterised in that optionally the spacer sleeve or the die is held to the cylinder by first magnetic means.

DIE BLOCK, STEEL-RULE DIE ASSEMBLY COMPRISING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF
20220379514 · 2022-12-01 ·

The invention relates to steel-rule cutting dies having a die block with at least one kerf configured to receive a corresponding steel-rule intended to be partially inserted into the kerf. The die block also has at least one element having magnetic properties, such as for instance a magnet, located or embedded in proximity to each kerf for providing a magnetic field that retains the steel-rule when the steel-rule is received into the corresponding kerf. The presence of the magnetic element(s) in proximity to the kerf(s) allows maintaining the corresponding rule(s) in position within its kerf even if the kerf is cut “loosely”. The corresponding rule may be quickly and easily inserted and accurately maintained even if the die block expand or retract under atmospheric variations. Among other advantages, the invention allows better stability of the cutting-die, faster leveling on press, and increased the number of re-knifing and longer run-time.

PATCH DEVICES, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING, AND TESTING PHARMACEUTICAL AGENT DELIVERY PATCH DEVICES
20170355094 · 2017-12-14 ·

A method for manufacturing a plurality of pharmaceutical agent delivery patch devices includes: providing a supply web including an active layer containing a pharmaceutically active agent; and cutting the supply web to form cut lines through the active layer. The cut lines define in the active layer: a first active layer patch having a first peripheral edge formed by the cutting step; and a second active layer patch having a second peripheral edge formed by the cutting step. The first and second peripheral edges each include a corner portion. At least a first segment of the first peripheral edge and an opposing second segment of the second peripheral edge are formed by a shared one of the cut lines.

Reorientable rotatable processing tool

A tool includes first and second tool parts that move toward one another, at least one processing device provided on the first tool part, and at least two counter devices provided on the second tool part. The processing device and the counter devices are rotatable relative to one another about at least one positioning axis, and the counter devices are aligned relative to one another along a direction of relative rotational movement of the processing device and the counter devices. The processing device and a first counter device are allocated to one another by at least a first defined processing parameter, and the processing device and a second counter device are allocated to one another by at least a second defined processing parameter. The first processing parameter is different than the second processing parameter.

Leak detection in water distribution systems using acoustic signals

Examples of a leak detection system are disclosed. In one example according to aspects of the present disclosure, a leak detection system includes a housing defining an interior, the housing connected to a component of a water distribution system. The leak detection system also includes a leak detection sensor contained within the interior of the housing and configured to detect a leak within the water distribution system. Additionally, the leak detection system includes a digital signal processing circuit in communication with the leak detection sensor.

Template Kit for Drilling Holes and Mounting Objects
20170341220 · 2017-11-30 ·

A template kit for assisting with the drilling of holes and the mounting of objects to a planar surface. The template kit includes an impactor, a plurality of punch heads removably securable to the impactor, and a sheet of material having a first side and a second side. The first side includes a first adhesive that can releasably secure the object to be mounted. The second side includes a second adhesive that can secure the device to a wall or other planar surface. The second adhesive has increased adhesive strength relative to the first adhesive. Each punch head includes an inner and outer edge that can cut a disc member from the sheet of material, wherein the impactor drives the punch head through the sheet of material. In use, the disc members are secured to a wall and serve as a guide for drilling a hole to hang the object.
