A tool holder containing at least one service tool for servicing a power-operated device. The tool holder is permanently attached to a retractable pull cord incorporated into a manual starter of a power-operated device. The service tool or tools are pivotally mounted on the tool holder, allowing the service tool or tools to be folded out for servicing the power operated device and subsequently folded in and stowed compactly within the main body of the tool holder. The tool holder may include a mechanism for reducing the recoil of the manual starter. A cord locking means secures the retractable pull cord of the manual starter in a retracted state. The cord locking means affords a range of mobility to the tool holder, permitting the tool holder and service tools thereon to be easily used to service a power-operated device.

A highly miniaturized (condensed) speaker system provides the same desirable performance characteristics as a full size acoustic suspension speaker system by incorporating a combination of one or more low pressure chambers and optionally one or more high pressure gas chambers to emulate the higher internal air volume of the full size acoustic suspension speaker system. The low pressure chamber(s) include the majority of the back (enclosed) side of the speaker diaphragm to eliminate the rigid air spring normally associated with small, enclosed volumes of air at atmospheric pressure. The high pressure gas chamber(s) provide a force to the back (enclosed) side of the diaphragm to counter the atmospheric pressure force on the face (exposed) side of the diaphragm.

A panel pet door is an insert into a sliding glass door and has a panel door frame and a movable door flap assembly mounted on the panel door frame. The door flap assembly can slide vertically on the panel door frame along tracks in the vertical stiles of the panel door frame. A plurality of riser spacer panels are also mounted on the panel door frame and are also vertically slidable on the frame via the vertical tracks. The door flap assembly and spacers are selectively removable and replaceable to effect a change in the rise of the door flap assembly and the height of the door flap assembly.

This invention relates generally to a flexible fastener for coupling members. In a preferred embodiment, the flexible fastener may be used to couple members that are non-parallel, non-aligned, or in specific instances when selective compliance in a member is desired. The present invention is directed generally to a fastener that is laterally flexible along its length, comprising a shank covered with a spiral set of teeth and a flexible core material running internally to the shank and along the length of the shank, wherein the shank and the flexible core material are coupled at both distal ends of the fastener. In a preferred embodiment, a means for imparting rotational movement to the fastener is attached at a distal end. The preferred means are a bolt head and a screw head.

A cargo bed extender extends the useful length of a cargo bed when the tailgate is open and has an outer shell that is attached to inner side of the tailgate. An end panel slides between the tailgate and outer shell when in a stowed position and is secured on catch hinges when in a deployed position. Side panels are attached to the end panel on hinges that allow the side panels to fold against the end panel and slide as a unit with the end panel between the tailgate and the outer shell. Outer shell end caps slide over the ends of the outer shell adding support and strengthen to the outer shell. Retainers 38 are fastened to the upper rear of the inner side of the pickup truck bed sidewalls to secure the side panel when in a deployed position.

An optical device is for spatially displacing the output of a light-emitting diode (LED) and coupling the output to a predominantly spherical emission pattern produced at a useftul height above the LED. The device is made of a transparent dielectric material, such as an injection-molded plastic. It comprises a lower transfer section that receives the LED's light from below and an upper ejector section that receives the transferred light and spreads it spherically. One or more LEDs. are optically coupled to the bottom of the transfer section, which operates by total internal reflection upon their entire hemispherical emission. One embodiment operates as a flashlight-bulb substitute with the ejector section radiating onto a parabolic reflector, which forms the beam. Thus hemisphencally emitting LEDs can be used in parabolic-mirror flashlights wherein these LEDs by themselves may be unsuitable for that role.

An automated fiber optic inspection system consists of a inspection station having a motion control system that moves a camera in three dimensions in response to motion control software that is integrated with inspection software. The inspection system automatically inspects fiber optic connectors located in a fixture and moves the camera from one connector to the other in the fixture until all connectors have been inspected. The system stores motion profiles for various types of fixtures.

A holder for use in building construction to hold anchor bolts, rebar, in-concrete plumbing, and the like elements, in predetermined positions during the pouring of concrete therearound. The holder includes an elongated base plate having front and rear ends, opposite side edges, a top surface and a bottom surface, the front end of the base plate having an end hole therethrough; a sleeve extending from the base plate over the end hole for receiving such an element; and reinforcing members projecting from the base plate and extending lengthwise and transversely of the plate. The holder preferably is molded in one piece from a suitable brightly colored plastic so that it can be more easily seen after the concrete has been poured, thereby partially covering it. The integration of the base plate, the sleeve, and the reinforcing members in one-piece and out of plastic provides a lightweight, durable, low cost holder for the purposes described. An alternative embodiment provides such a holder that can be spread apart from receiving, and then closing and clamping around, anchor bolts, rebar, in-concrete pipe, and similar construction elements.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for protecting a work piece during surface processing. The apparatus employs a protective material to protect a wafer during backside grinding. The apparatus can further include a vacuum chuck that allows the passage of a vacuum signal, a frame holding the protective material, a frame holder to hold the frame, and a fastening arrangement to fasten the frame holder to the chuck adjacent a support surface. The method provided by the invention can include providing a vacuum chuck, placing a protective material in contact with the chuck, placing a wafer in contact with the protective material, applying a vacuum signal securing the wafer with the chuck, and grinding the backside surface of the wafer.

The present embodiments provide methods and apparatuses for providing prescribed illumination. Some embodiments provide lenses that include a two-dimensional beam-forming lens-profile where the profile acts to deflect light rays from a light source into a relatively narrow output beam. A zone of higher refractive index than that of the area outside the profile is enclosed where the higher refractive-index zone admits the light rays, a transverse axis of revolution is further included and extends transversely across and outside of the lens-profile so that the transverse axis extends generally laterally with respect to a luminous centroid-direction of the output beam. The lens further includes a surface of revolution formed by circularly sweeping the lens-profile about the axis of revolution forming a circumferential beam from the output beam emitted by said surface of revolution.
