20120263548 | DRILL BIT - A drill bit drills through porcelain and other hard tiles much more efficiently than conventional drill bits. The porcelain and hard tile drill bit includes a four-point tip angle on the tip so the drill bit starts up correctly and does not run on initial startup of drilling. Through its step angle design and specially designed carbide tip, the drill bit realizes a very fast drill rate and longer drill bit life. Conventional drill bits have no step angle, only a rounded standard carbide tip with no four-point tip angle for easy start-up. The present drill bit solves the start-up problem and through the step angle, allows a sharper and much longer drill life, permitting the drilling of many holes through porcelain and hard tile. | 10-18-2012 |

20140064719 | ENHANCED CAMERA POSITIONER - Various operator supported camera positioning systems are disclosed. The camera positioning systems can allow translational and rotational movement of different camera types on a camera mount. An operator interface, such as a handle bar or elongated beam, can operatively support the camera mount through a series of rotational linkages, allowing for relative rotation of the camera mount about one, two or three axes. The rotation about some or all of these axes can be controlled by drives, and control signals for these drives can be generated by one or more inertial transducers to stabilize the surface mount and associated camera orientation and pointing by reducing deviations from the inertially fixed orientation of the camera mount in response to rotational movements of the system about the one or more controlled axes of rotation. | 03-06-2014 |

20100231229 | LEAKAGE CURRENT COMPENSATION FOR HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS - A method and system for measuring and compensating for a leakage current in a high voltage transformer. Such a method and/or system include the use of a primary winding and a secondary winding, which can be provided on a core of a soft-magnetic material. A current transformer can be placed about the leads to both the terminals of the primary winding. The current transformer can be utilized to reliably measure the leakage current flowing from the secondary winding to the primary winding through one or more amplifiers to a ground terminal. The leakage current flows back to the transformer secondary winding through a low-side current sense resistor. The total current monitor signal can be generated by the low-side current sense resistor and the leakage current measured by the current transformer is vector-subtracted from the total current monitor signal. The result is a current monitor signal fully representative of the high voltage transformer's actual load current. | 09-16-2010 |
