Abstract: A pipeline inspection system may include a cable that may be configured to be directed into a conduit. The pipeline inspection system may further include a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable and operable to capture an image. The pipeline inspection system may further include a monitor including a display configured to display an image. The pipeline inspection system may further include an electronic processor that may be configured to receive a user input indicating a characteristic of the conduit. The electronic processor may be further configured to determine an image setting of the display based on the characteristic of the conduit. The electronic processor may be further configured to control the monitor to display the image on the display according to the image setting.

Abstract: A drain cleaning machine includes a brushless direct current (DC) motor configured to rotate a snake about the snake axis. An electronic processor is configured to control power switching elements to drive the brushless DC motor. In a first operating range when a load experienced by the brushless DC motor is less than or equal to a predetermined load, the electronic processor is configured to control the power switching elements to drive the brushless DC motor at an approximately constant speed regardless of the load experienced by the brushless DC motor. In a second operating range when the load experienced by the brushless DC motor is greater than the predetermined load, the electronic processor is configured to control the power switching elements to drive the brushless DC motor at a decreasing speed as the load experienced by the brushless DC motor increases.

Abstract: A pipeline inspection device including a cable having a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable, where the camera and the cable are configured to be directed into a conduit. A first drum includes a rear wall, a front wall, and a side wall defining an interior, where the front wall has an opening providing access to the interior, and where the cable is disposed at least partially within the first drum. A stand supports the first drum, where the first drum is rotatably coupled to the stand. A hub houses electrical components of the pipeline inspection device. The hub is removably received in the interior of the first drum via the opening, where the hub is selectively removable from the first drum and insertable into an interior of a second drum.

Abstract: A power tool system and method are provided that includes a power tool device having a body, a terminal interface coupled to the body, and an electronic controller coupled to the body. The system further includes packaging containing the power tool device, and a packaging interface system. The packaging interface system includes a connection port and a power tool device connector. The connection port is exposed external to the packaging and receives a security command, for example, from a reusable adapter in communication with a point of sale device. The power tool device connector selectively engages with the terminal interface and provides a communication path between the connection port and the terminal interface. The electronic controller of the power tool device receives the security command from the packaging interface system via the power tool device connector, and unlocks the power tool device in response to the security command.

Abstract: A system comprises a cable including an image capture device positioned at a distal end of the cable, the image capture device configured to output digital data. The system includes a digital to analog circuit at the distal end of the cable and in communication with the image capture device, the digital to analog circuit is configured to convert digital data into analog data. The system includes an analog to digital circuit at the proximal end of the cable and in communication with the digital to analog circuit, the analog to digital circuit is configured to convert analog data to received digital data. The system also includes a monitoring device including a display and a connector. The connector is configured to electrically, mechanically, and detachably interface with the proximal end of the cable, and the monitoring device is configured to display images captured by the image capture device.
