A power cord handling device and a method to adjust a power cord extending from a device are provided. A frame assembly may include a base supporting a device receiving area to receive a device. A wheel assembly may be adapted to facilitate coiling of a power cord extending from the device when the device is disposed in the device receiving area. The wheel assembly may include a protrusion member. The protrusion member may include one or more slots. A controller may be configured to control a wheel assembly motor. Guide arms may be adapted to receive one or more second portions of the power cord extending from the device and to guide the power cord during a power cord handling operation. The controller may be configured to cause the wheel assembly to perform a power cord handling operation.

A reel transport, stand and payoff device is provided, which operates to maneuver and jack up a reel for payoff. The reel device may include two reel mechanisms coupled together with a hydraulic system housing. Each reel mechanism includes a wheel housing and a wheel coupled to a central portion of the wheel housing. Each reel mechanism includes an arm coupled on an end to a central portion of the wheel housing. An actuator is coupled between the wheel housing and the arm to raise or lower the arm. The reel device may include at least one caster to help support and stabilize the reel device. An axle is inserted through a reel and coupled on each end to an arm by a bracket. A method of use of a reel transport, stand and payoff device is also disclosed.

A reel system comprising a spool support, a belt drive assembly, a center shaft assembly, and one or more spool cross support bars. The reel system further comprises two spool side members having a first spool side member and a second spool side member. A spool portion comprises the two spool side members, the center shaft assembly and the one or more spool cross support bars. The spool portion is configured to mount between a first side support, a second side support. The spool portion is configured to rotate around a spool axis. The belt drive assembly comprises a drive system, and a belt. The drive system comprises a pneumatic pump driven drive system. The drive system comprises a drive shaft.

A motorized reel apparatus suitable for endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) is presented. The present invention attaches to any suitable corresponding biopsy needle stylus. The motorized reel apparatus contains a reel housing, a spool drum, a spool spindle, a motor, and a controller. The reel housing contains wire outlet aperture. The wire outlet aperture traverses through the reel housing. The spool drum is connected within the reel housing. The spool spindle operatively engages along the spool drum, where the spool spindle can dispense a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture. The motor is rotatably engaged to the spool spindle. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, where the controller is configured to retract or deploy a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture.

A reel assembly for deploying a cable, hose or umbilical connection may include an electronic control unit that may operate to control the reel assembly. A sheave that redirects the direction of the cable, hose or umbilical connection may include sensors that may measure various parameters, such as a measured line tension and/or a length of cable, hose or umbilical connection that has been deployed, and transmit the measured data to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit may, based on received sensor data, automatically direct the operation of the reel assembly. Optionally, the sensor data and/or user control inputs and system status information may be logged. The system also may use this data to control the system, such as by activating an alarm when a certain alarm limit is exceeded by the data, adjusting parameters of the drive, and the like.

A display device including a housing; a rotatable roller accommodated in the housing; a rollable display adjusted in a drawn-out length from the housing according to rotation of the roller; and a controller configured to receive an input of a voice command, and vary a method of outputting a result of the voice command according to the drawn-out length of the rollable display.

A footwear lacing apparatus can comprise a housing structure, a modular spool and a drive mechanism. The housing structure can comprising a first inlet, a second inlet, and a lacing channel extending between the first and second inlets. The modular spool can be disposed in the lacing channel and can comprise a lower plate including a shaft extending from the lower plate, and an upper plate including a drum portion. The upper plate can be releasabley connected to the lower plate at a connection interface. The drive mechanism can couple with the modular spool and can be adapted to rotate the modular spool to wind or unwind a lace cable extending through the lacing channel and between the upper and lower plates of the modular spool.

A fish tape for use with a fish tape tool. The fish tape includes an inner core formed of a first material, and an outer sheath surrounding the inner core formed of a second material that has a lower coefficient of friction than the first material.
