Abstract: A storage system includes a housing including a compartment defined by compartment sidewalls and a compartment rear wall. The housing further includes a first closure structure adjacent or on the compartment rear wall. The storage system further includes a bin positionable in the compartment and pivotable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position. The bin includes bin sidewalls and a bin rear wall at least partially defining a storage space accessible from outside the housing in the open position, and the bin rear wall has a second closure structure. The first closure structure and the second closure structure cooperatively define a closure detent that resists pivotal movement of the bin from the closed position to the open position absent a predetermined force acting on the bin toward the open position.

Abstract: A method of controlling a sensorless motor (32). The method contains the steps of determining a current speed of the motor (32); selectively using a first method, a second method, or a third method to determine a position of a rotor of the motor (32), depending on the current speed of the motor (32); and transmitting a drive signal to the motor (32) based on the determined position of the rotor. A sensorless motor assembly is also disclosed. According to the method, multiple rotor position detection methods are provided to the sensorless motor (32) which cover a full speed range of the motor (32).

Abstract: An augmented reality device may include a camera configured to capture image data. The augmented reality device may also include a projector, and an electronic processor coupled to the camera and to the projector. The electronic processor may be configured to identify a power tool to be used by a user of the augmented reality device. The electronic processor may be further configured to identify, based on the image data captured by the camera, a work piece on which an operation of the power tool is intended to be performed. The electronic processor may be further configured to control the projector to project an indication that indicates a location on the work piece at which the operation of the power tool is intended to be performed.

Abstract: An external device for use with one or more robotic tools, the external device including a display and an electronic processor, where when an initiate setup button is selected by a first user input, the processor is configured to send a signal to the first robotic garden tool to travel from a dock and along a perimeter of an operating area. When the add start point button is selected by a second user input, the processor is configured to retrieve a first position of the first robotic garden tool, the first position being indicative of a first start point remote of the dock, and where the first robotic garden tool is configured to return to the dock after traveling along the perimeter and to communicate a calculated boundary length based on the data gathered by the odometry unit to the processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for tool-free detachable implement change without aid of separate tools are described. A tool-free implement change mechanism may comprise a plurality of apparatuses operable in cooperation to facilitate installation and/or removal of detachable implements with respect to a host garden machine without aid of separate tools. For example, a tool-free implement change mechanism may comprise a motor shaft locking apparatus and an implement securing apparatus. In operation according to embodiments, a motor shaft locking apparatus of embodiments may be engaged to prevent movement of motor shaft when tightening or loosening an implement securing apparatus used for affixing the detachable implement to the shaft assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for under-voltage protection features in power tools. One power tool provides a motor, a power source, a voltage sensor, and a controller. The power source is configured to selectively provide power to the motor. The voltage sensor is configured to sense a voltage of the power source. The controller is configured to monitor, with the voltage sensor, the voltage of the power source and reduce, when the voltage of the power source is less than or equal to a first threshold value, a current provided from the power source to the motor. The controller is configured to stop, when the voltage of the power source is less than or equal to a second threshold value, providing the current from the power source to the motor.
