A method for reporting as-built data of a project is disclosed. In one embodiment, at least one attribute of a task perform by a handheld tool is recorded at the handheld tool. The attribute of the at least one task is reported via a wireless communication link to an information management system. The at least one attribute of the task is used to update a record of a project stored at the information management system.

Integration of as built data of a project

A device for fixing an optical device is disclosed. The device has a housing, an actuating device having an adjustable actuating element, an expansion sleeve having a plurality of expansion segments, which can be displaced in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the expansion sleeve between a closed state and an expanded state, and a first adjusting device, which converts a movement of the actuating device into a radial movement of the expansion segments in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the expansion sleeve. The expansion segments can be inserted into the receiving opening of the optical device in the closed state of the expansion sleeve and, in the expanded state, form a force-fitting or form-fitting connection with the receiving opening of the optical device.

Device and method for attaching an optical unit

A system and a method for determining a position and an orientation of an object relative to a defined reference frame is disclosed. A plurality of targets are disposed at known locations relative to the defined reference frame. A head assembly is disposed on the object, where the head assembly includes a plurality of cameras. The head assembly determines the position and the orientation of the object from location data associated with the plurality of targets and image data from the plurality of cameras.

System and method for camera based position and orientation measurement

A method for conveying application information for power tools is disclosed. In one embodiment, information describing a task which is to be performed by a handheld tool is accessed. In one embodiment, the handheld tool is a power tool. Based upon the information describing the task, at least one operating parameter for performing the task is conveyed to the handheld tool. The handheld tool is then configured with the at least one operating parameter prior to initiating the task.

Application information for power tools

A method of automated handheld tool task verification is disclosed. In one embodiment, at least one operating parameter for performing a task is received at a handheld tool. It is then verified at the handheld tool that it is configured with the at least one operating parameter. The handheld tool then generates data verifying that the task was performed in accordance with the at least one operating parameter.

Automated handtool task verification

A method for managing information at a construction site is disclosed. In one embodiment, task data is received from a handheld tool at a construction site. A database is populated with the task data such that the task data can be retrieved from the database. The task data is then used to generate at least one report.

Managing information at a construction site

A method for positioning a handheld tool is disclosed. In one embodiment, information is received at a handheld tool for positioning a working end of the handheld tool at a desired position. Information is also received at the handheld tool for aligning the handheld tools at the desired position.

Reference based positioning of handheld tools

In a method of integrating position information including: position data of an object that will be embedded in a material at a worksite is determined. The position data of the object is recorded, in an information management system. The position data is used to update a record at the information management system, where the record indicates that the object is an embedded object and the position data of the object includes a position of the embedded object. The position of the embedded object is conveyed from information management system to the to a handheld tool at the worksite. The position of the embedded object is displayed on a display device integrated with the handheld tool.

Integrating position information into a handheld tool

A method for integrating position information is disclosed. In one embodiment, the position data of an object embedded in a material at a worksite is recorded. The position data is used to update a record showing the position of the object as an embedded object. The position of the embedded object is displayed at a handheld tool.

A segmental hard material insert for a working tool has a planar polycrystalline diamond layer () having, in its layer plane, a main cutting element () and a contact edge () located opposite the main cutting element, with the main cutting element () having two, facing outwardly, convex cutting sections () and a smooth, facing outwardly, concave transitional region () connecting the two convex cutting sections (), and with the apex () of the transitional region () being located on a central line of the main cutting element ().

Hard material insert and core bit

A concrete drill for a rotary and percussively driven hand tool machine with a cutting part () and a striking part () that is axially and limited displaceable relative to the cutting part (). Each of the cutting part () and the striking part () have a respective facial surface work area for machining a bore hole surface. The respective facial surface work area of the cutting part () and the striking part () radially overlap upon rotation of the concrete drill.

Concrete drill

A core bit for abrasive cutting including a cylindrical tube () provided at its end surface with cutting or abrasive bodies () and a cover () provided at an opposite end surface of the cylindrical tube () and secured thereto and having, along its central axis (A), a shank () to be received in a rotary power tool, with the cover () being dimensioned, with respect to a set excitation frequency, for forming a whole number of maximum amplitude oscillations of a concentric flexural oscillation, and the cylindrical tube () being dimensioned, with respect to a set excitation frequency, for forming a whole number of maximum amplitude oscillations of axial longitudinal oscillations.
