When does the patent expire?

Stephen Gass holds 89 patents, most of which have something to do with
saw safety. The latest patent was issued April 19, 2010 and is for a
miter saw with safety system. The last Saw Stop type patent that I see
was issued April 30 2007. Patents last 20 years if maintenance payments
are made.

According to the article linked to below, the Consumer Products Safety Commision is going to proceed in one way or another on this matter by Feb 12.
