Abstract:
A closed-loop feedback system and method for performing a machining operation. A tool’s operational properties are measured in real-time. The operating parameters of the machining process are adjusted in real-time based on the measured properties.
Abstract:
A support element is attachable to a tool receivable in a tool holder bore so as to strengthen a connection between the tool and a tool holder and provide increased rigidity and vibration damping. The support element has a first support element end adapted for disposition adjacent to a forwardly facing mounting surface of the tool holder and a second support element end adapted for disposition adjacent to a forward end of the tool. The support element is mountable on the tool so as to be disposed completely between the forwardly facing mounting surface and the forward end of the tool. In one configuration, the support element includes a base having an underside configured for abutment with the tool holder and an extension protruding in a longitudinal direction from the base. The base is adapted to receive at least one element operable to produce adjustable canting of the base with respect to the tool holder and corresponding adjustable frictional engagement between the support element and the tool.

Abstract:
A structural system for use in areas in which space is valuable. The structural system is a self-contained meeting center capable of transforming from a closed storage position into an open position for conducting a meeting. The structural system may be used for interior and exterior applications. The structural system may also include a mobile, micro-climate controlled chair system.
