Title: Pull handle with interlocking mounting mechanism for wet/dry vacuum appliance
Inventor: BETH DAVID E
IPC: A47L9/32
Filed: 2001-01-10
Granted: 2009-10-27
Abstract: The present invention is a handle used for pulling a wet/dry vacuum appliance and a mechanism for securely mounting such a handle to the lid of the vacuum. The mounting mechanism is designed for ease of assembly and reduced fastener cost. The handle is attached at two of its four attachment points by inserting journals molded into the sides of the handle into open bearing pockets molded in handle receiving recesses on the lid of the vacuum. The handle is then rotated into place and secured at the remaining two attachment points with suitable fasteners, such as screws. In certain embodiments of this invention, when the handle is rotated into position for attachment a locking slot in the bottom surface of the handle engages a rib provided in the handle receiving recess of the lid. This rib guides the handle as it rotates, prevents the journals from sliding back out of the bearing pockets, and locks the handle into the proper position for insertion of the fasteners.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring torque
Inventor: LAMBSON VERNON A
IPC: G01L3/14
Filed: 1999-10-21
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring torque of a rotating shaft is provided.  In one embodiment, the apparatus (10) includes a transducer assembly (12) that is attached to a shaft. The transducer assembly includes a first plate member (14), a plurality of webs (18) extending from the first plate member and a second plate member (16) connected to the webs. A plurality of strain gauges are mounted on the transducer assembly at selected locations and in selected patterns. As torque is applied to the shaft, the torsional load from the shaft causes stress in the first plate member, the web members, and the second plate member. The strain gauges measure this stress and generate signals that provide a measure of the stress. The signals transmitted from the sensing circuit are compared with calibration data, and the torque value is inferred. In one embodiment, the strain gauges are arranged in opposing pairs on the transducer assembly and electrically connected as a Wheatstone bridge, so that strain resulting from non-torsional loads is canceled from the measured signal, thereby improving torque measurement accuracy. In another embodiment, the strain gauges are located on thinned regions in the transducer assembly which are fashioned for the purpose of creating areas of localized high stress. In another embodiment, the transducer assembly includes a decoupling aperture. The decoupling aperture miminizes hysteresis due to warping and bending of the transducer assembly.

Abstract: In a method of amplifying optical input signals over a wide bandwidth, the optical input signals are applied to an optical waveguide (810) made from a rare-earth-doped amorphous yttrium aluminum oxide material (e.g., erbium-doped yttrium aluminum oxide material). The optical input signals include optical signals having wavelengths shorter than 1,520 nanometers and optical signals having wavelengths longer than 1,610 nanometers. Pump light is applied to the optical waveguide (810) to cause the waveguide to provide optical gain to the optical input signals. The optical gain causes the optical signals to be amplified within the waveguide to provide amplified optical signals over the extended range from approximately 1,480 nanometers to approximately 1,650 nanometers, including, in particular, optical signals having wavelengths shorter than 1,520 nanometers and optical signals having wavelengths longer than 1,610 nanometers.
