Abstract: A slot milling sequence includes a plurality of material removal processes or operations. Each of the material removal operations includes utilization of an end mill tool. Some of the material removal operations utilize trochoidal tool paths, whereas other material removal processes utilize one or more profile cuts. Some material removal operations that utilize profile cuts remove material from both sides of the cut in a single pass, whereas other material removal operations remove material from one side of the cut via a first pass of the end mill tool and remove material from the opposing side of the cut via a second pass of the end mill tool.

Abstract: A network interface device comprises a plurality of components configured to process a flow of data one after another. A control component is configured to provide one or more control messages in said flow, said one or more control message being provided to said plurality of components one after another such that a configuration of one or more of said components is changed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dispersible graphene platelet and a method of making same. The structure of the graphene platelet 10 comprises a base layer 1 of graphene on which at least one discontinuous layer 2, 3, 4 of graphene is stacked, with each layer of graphene above the base layer having a smaller surface area than the layer it is stacked upon. The edges of the base layer and the discontinuous layers stacked upon it are all at least partially functionalised 5, providing a structure with graphene-like properties owing to the base layer and relatively high dispersibility owing to the increased amount of functionalised groups on each platelet. The platelets may be used for a number of applications, for example in the production of electrodes or composite materials.
