An electric power tool includes a brushless motor, a control unit configured to control power supply to the brushless motor, a rotary tool configured to be rotated by the brushless motor, a rotation speed detecting unit configured to detect a rotation speed of the brushless motor, a main switch configured to transmit, to the control unit, an ON / OFF signal for switching between driving and stopping of the brushless motor, and a mode switching unit configured to transmit, to the control unit, a mode switching signal for switching between multiple modes of rotation control of the brushless motor, the control unit is configured to perform the rotation control of the brushless motor in any one of the multiple modes including at least a high-speed mode and a low-speed mode.

Optical probes having a diameter less than substantially 500 μm for use in scanning light from a long, highly flexible fiber to a sample. In one embodiment the probe includes a viscous damping fluid suitable to prevent non-uniform rotational distortion (NURD).

An access device comprises a thin-walled sheath that is insertable into a patient through a small surgically created incision. The incision may be created using a cutdown or a percutaneous method such as that known as the Seldinger technique. Once inserted and advanced to the target surgical site, the sheath is selectively, and controllably, expanded to a desired diameter. The thin wall of the sheath is fabricated from a rectangular piece of material such as metal or plastic with two cut edges. The rectangular piece of metal or plastic is rolled tightly to create the small diameter configuration that is inserted into the patient. A cam or control member is affixed to the innermost edge of the rectangular piece of metal or plastic. The control member extends to the proximal most portion of the sheath. By rotating the control member, the operator causes the thin wall piece of rolled material to unfurl into a larger or smaller diameter, depending on the direction of rotation. A mechanical lock at the distal end of the sheath permits the control member to be selectively constrained from rotation and thus lock the sheath diameter in place.

A latch assembly is connectable to a riser. A rotating control device can be positioned with the riser, sealing the rotating control device with the latch assembly and removably latching the rotating control device to the latch assembly and to the riser. The latch assembly can be remotely actuated. The latch assembly can provide an auxiliary safety mechanism to provide a backup actuation mechanism to unlatch the rotating control device from the latch assembly. The latch assembly can be bolted to the riser. Alternately, the latch assembly can be latched with the riser using a similar latching mechanism as used to latch the latch assembly to the rotating control device. A pressure transducer protector assembly can protect a transducer for monitoring wellbore pressure in the riser. A remote indicator panel can indicate the status of the latch assembly.

A system and method is provided for converting a drilling rig between conventional hydrostatic pressure drilling and managed pressure drilling or underbalanced drilling using a docking station housing mounted on a marine riser or bell nipple. This docking station housing may be positioned above the surface of the water. When a removable rotating control device is remotely hydraulically latched with the docking station housing, the system and method allows for interactive lubrication and cooling of the rotating control device, as needed, along with a supply of fluid for use with active seals.

A riser assembly includes a rotating control housing connected between an upper portion and a lower portion of a riser assembly, and a packing element rotatable with respect to the rotating control housing, wherein the packing element is configured to isolate an annulus of the lower portion from the upper portion when a drillstring is engaged through the packing element, and wherein the packing element is configured to be retrieved and replaced through the upper portion.

A seating area adjuster for a seat of a vehicle includes a seating member having a seating surface, a support portion supporting the seating member, an adjustment mechanism connected with the seating member and supported by the support portion to be movable in an adjustment direction in which a length of the seating surface is adjusted and rotatable about a shaft extending perpendicular to the adjustment direction and to an up and down direction of the adjustment mechanism, a movement mechanism moving the adjustment mechanism in the adjustment direction relative to the support portion, and a rotation control mechanism controlling the adjustment mechanism to a predetermined rotational position corresponding an amount of a movement of the adjustment mechanism in the adjustment direction.

An electronic device holder on a bicycle may include a frame body and a standpipe connection seat, and the frame body is composed of a body, a clamping device, two rotation controls and the nip unit pressing as the combination. The standpipe connection seat is provided with a fine adjustment unit, and the fine adjustment unit, is located on the beam of the glove with the set of risers, and provided to assemble for the anchor of body.
