摘要:
A power operated tape measure enables measuring tape extension through a drive mechanism as well as measuring tape retraction through at least one of a drive mechanism and spring biasing on a tape reel. A tape cartridge assembly including an annular reel and a measuring tape wound onto the reel is positioned within a housing shell of the tape measure. A drive mechanism accomplishes tape extension out of the housing shell, and optionally, tape retraction into the housing shell by engaging with a surface of the measuring tape. An actuator initiates input on one or more switches that selectively control operation of the drive mechanism, and includes a lever arm for a user to make selections regarding tape extension and retraction. The actuator may be arranged such that lever arm motion in a forward direction enables tape extension and lever arm motion in a rearward direction enables tape retraction.

A server federation cooperatively interacts to fulfill service requests by communicating using data structures that follow a schema in which the meaning of the communicated data is implied by the schema. Thus, in addition to the data being communicated, the meaning of the data is also communication allowing for intelligent decisions and inferences to be made based on the meaning of the data. Cooperative interaction is facilitated over a wide variety of networks by messaging through a common API that supports multiple transport mechanisms. Also, mid-session transfer between client devices is facilitated by schema and the transport-independent messaging structure. The user interfaces of the client devices will appear consistent even if the client devices have different user interface capabilities.
摘要:
An automatic tape measure having a tape retraction prevention device to prevent unintended retraction of the tape into a housing caused by increasing the strength of a return spring. A tape assembly is received in the housing and includes a tape selectively received on a reel, the return spring and a cassette for receiving the reel. A motor is coupled with a power source, a drive assembly, the tape assembly and a switch assembly to control extension and retraction of the tape. The drive assembly couples the motor with the tape assembly and includes at least one gear. The tape retraction prevention device includes a pawl that may engage with the gear to prevent rotation of the drive assembly and, in turn, unintended retraction of the tape into the housing.

A handheld, portable, motorized clamping device is disclosed. The device includes a housing, a frame, a stationary clamp member, and a displaceable clamp member. The displaceable clamp member may be repositioned by a drive assembly, or may be manually adjusted. In another embodiment of the invention, the stationary clamp member may be repositioned on the frame to alter the dimensions of the clamp opening. In still another embodiment, the clamp device operatively connects to a secondary tool that engages the drive assembly.

Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the creation and configuration management of computing systems. According to some embodiments, component and configuration information associated with a computing system to be created is received. In addition, a target hardware platform to be associated with the computing system is determined. Based on the component and configuration information, the target hardware platform, and a pre-defined rule set, build information is automatically determined and made specific for the target hardware platform. It may then be arranged for the computing system to be created and/or configured on the target hardware platform in accordance with the build information.

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive comprising a controller including a USB interface and a nonvolatile computer readable medium interface. The USB flash drive may also comprise a nonvolatile computer readable medium in communication with the nonvolatile computer readable medium interface and storing data and a USB connector in communication with the USB interface. The USB flash drive may also comprise a transmitter for transmitting at least a portion of data from the nonvolatile computer readable medium to an external device external to the USB flash drive. The transmitter may be substantially simultaneously operable with the USB connector, may send a modulated data signal, and/or may send the at least portion data in a compressed format.
