A cutting tool assembly includes a mandrel member and a cutting tool. The mandrel member has a shaft rod and a slide sleeve fitted around the shaft rod. At least one alignment pin is mounted in the shaft rod and at least one engagement pin is disposed in the slide sleeve. At least one locking member is disposed between the shaft rod and the slide sleeve. The cutting tool has a shank body and a tool bit. At least one alignment sink is disposed on the shank body. When assembled, the shank body is plugged into the shaft rod to align the alignment pin with the alignment sink so as to release the slide sleeve from the engagement of the engagement pin, permitting the slide sleeve to move to a locking position where the locking member is latched with the cutting tool.

A brake booster apparatus having a housing with oppositely disposed first and second walls. A first connector is disposed in the first wall and a second connector is disposed in the second wall. An elongate hollow member is deformationally engaged to each of the first and second connectors. The various embodiments of the invention include embodiments wherein the hollow member is deformed to engage the hollow member and connectors and embodiments wherein the first and second connectors are deformed to engage the hollow member and connectors. The deformational engagement mechanically attaches and sealingly engages the hollow member with each of the first and second connectors. The hollow member defines a passage through the apparatus from the first wall to the second wall of the housing. A method of manufacturing a brake booster is also disclosed.

A method and apparatus for detecting, curing and remedying invasive software installation inadvertently, negligently, or intentionally marketed by a vendor. A party may procure a product that sends back invasive data to a source. A testing regimen may identify and defeat sources of any invasive executables found. Accordingly, a party may identify those software packages deemed invasive, and may optionally provide a solution to either defeat or monitor them, where practicable. An independent developer may obtain intellectual property rights in the testing, solution or both of the counter-invasive software system or product. An independent developer may become a supplier of testing or solution systems, motivating a supplier by one of several mechanisms. The developer or damaged party may obtain a legal status with respect to the vendor or of a host of software as a customer, user, clients, shareholder, etc., in order to exercise rights and remedies or provide motivation to a vendor who does not take responsibility for its actions as executed by its marketed products.

A hand held tool for the tensioning and severing of cable ties, including reciprocating means for tensioning the cable tie tail, locking means to prevent further tensioning upon the attainment of a preselected tension level in the tie tail, and severing means to sever the tie tail from the cable tie head.

A flow tube for a bidirectional flow meter comprises a first means (for example in the form of a first flow chamber) for generating a periodic pressure fluctuation whose frequency varies in dependence on the flow rate of fluid through the meter in a first direction; and a second means (for example in the form of a second flow chamber) for generating a periodic pressure fluctuation whose frequency varies in dependence on the flow rate of fluid through the meter in a second direction, opposite to the first direction; wherein said first and second generating means are connected in series between an inlet port and an outlet port.

An electrical connector may include a conductive body having a conductor receiving passageway therein to receive the conductor of a cable end. The conductive body may also have a fastener receiving passageway intersecting the conductor receiving passageway, and a fastener may be positioned in the fastener receiving passageway for securing the conductor. The connector may also include an insulating boot associated with the conductor receiving passageway. The insulating boot may include an insulating tube, and at least one rupturable seal closing the insulating tube and rupturing upon initial insertion of the cable end therethrough. The rupturable seal may also be compliant to accommodate different sized cable ends and form a seal with adjacent portions of the cable end. A pair of seals may be provided with an optional sealant material therebetween.

A wiring harness system and installation method is provided for customizing a truck chassis to a provide quick and easy addition and repair of electrical features on a completed heavy-duty truck body. The system and method add the existing wires of the chassis, without the need for cutting or disconnecting anything on the chassis. A primary harness connects to the body builder plug and upfitter plug of the chassis and extends along the frame rails to the rear of the truck. One or more extension harnesses can be plugged into the connectors on the primary harness, with various electrical features of the truck body being plugged into the extension harnesses or the primary harness.

Improvements in a semiconductor wafer container including improvements in side protection to the wafers, improved cover design to minimize rotation, a simplified top cover orientation mechanism and an improved bottom holding mechanism for automation. The side protection to the wafers is with multiple staggered inner and outer walls. The improved cover design improves alignment of the top and bottom housings and minimizes rotation of the housings in transit or motion. The housings have a recessed tab ramp feature with bi-directional locking that also increases the rigidity of the containment device when the two housings are assembled. The improved bottom holding mechanism for automation is an integrated feature that is molded into the bottom housing and not assembled in a secondary operation. The molded integration reduces tolerance errors that are present in assembling multiple pieces and joining multiple pieces.
