- OT-2026-000000024
This disclosure describes a powered hand tool incorporating a vibration reduction system that decouples the handle from the tool body through a tuned mass path. The system addresses the problem of hand-arm vibration exposure, which typically limits the duration of tool use long before component wear dictates replacemen
- OT-2026-000000021
This disclosure describes a torque tool system incorporating a floating reaction arm equipped with a controlled release mechanism. The arrangement is designed to mitigate the impulsive reaction force transmitted to an operator’s wrist upon tool shut-off by managing the energy associated with high-speed torque peaks. Th

This disclosure describes an arrangement for suppressing dust at bulk material transfer points. It employs a staged enclosure around the material drop zone, paired with an induced air balance system. The enclosure design promotes staged particle settling while skirt seals minimize uncontrolled air ingress. An air extra
