Abstract: Topology discovery includes determining connection data identifying connections between network devices. The connection data includes the network devices and network interfaces for the devices, iterations are performed to determine links in the topology based on the connection data. An iteration may include adding a link in the topology (306), adding an unknown domain to the topology (501), or removing an interface associated with the added link from the connection data if the link is added to the topology (403).

Abstract: An uncoated cutting tool that comprises a body containing a pocket. A polycrystalline cubic boron nitride blank has a cutting tip. The blank is brazed into the pocket using a braze alloy whereby there is a braze joint between the body and the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride blank. The braze alloy has a liquidus temperature of at least about 900 degrees Centigrade wherein the braze alloy is selected from the group comprising a nickel-gold braze alloy containing nickel and gold, a copper-gold braze alloy containing copper and gold, a silver-titanium braze alloy containing silver and titanium, and a silver-palladium braze alloy containing silver and palladium.

Abstract: A system for generating a parser and using the parser to parse a target file includes a target file description, an output format description, a Parser generator, a Parser, a target file, and a result object. The target file description and the output format description are included in one or more “properties files”, which are text files that include one or more name/value pairs (“properties”). The target file description and the output format description are input into the Parser generator, which outputs the Parser. The target file is input into the Parser, which outputs the result object. The target file description specifies one or more parsers and/or tokenizers that can be used to parse the target file. The parsers and/or tokenizers specified by the target file description are part of the generated Parser. These parsers and/or tokenizers make the Parser more flexible, which enables the Parser to parse semi-structured data.

Abstract: A cutting insert for metalworking operations has an insert core with a pair of cutting portions having cutting tips extending therefrom such that a toolholder having a pocket to accept such a core is suitable to accept different cutting inserts having a common core plus different cutting portions. As a result, for example, an 80° diamond, a 55° diamond and a 35° diamond cutting insert may all be utilized within a common toolholder. The invention is also directed to a toolholder that will accept such a variety of cutting inserts.

Abstract: A cutting insert has a central cavity with a plurality of pairs of clamping surfaces wherein the clamping surfaces of a pair are separated from one another by a recess to provide split face clamping surfaces within the cavity of the insert. The insert may be secured within the pocket of a toolholder.

Abstract: A machine for producing a strand of fine leather yarn from a leather disc is disclosed. The machine includes a rotatable turntable with an array of suction holes in its upper surface for receiving the leather disc, stiffening it for cutting and tightly gripping it for rotation with the turntable. A cutting wheel is positioned just above the turntable and is rotatably driven on an axis lying generally radially with respect to the turntable. A frame above the turntable supports the cutting wheel and provides for advancement of the cutting wheel radially inwardly as the cutting of leather yarn from the peripheral edge of the leather disc progresses. The speed of inward advancement of the cutting wheel is maintained at a fixed ratio to the speed of rotation of the turntable, so that a constant width of leather yarn is obtained. The advancement may be by means of a rotatable screw shaft linked mechanically to and rotatably driven by the driving means for the turntable.

Abstract: A leather yarn embodies a novel combination of five parameters which enables the leather yarn to be readily worked by garment knitting machine needlework into a unique knitted fabric having a soft "leather hand".The parameters are:1. Softness;2. Consistent Thinness of Depth;3. Consistent Narrowness of Width;4. Adequate Tensile Strength; and5. Continuity.The leather yarn is cut from a thin leather having a weight in the range of about 3 oz. to 11/2 oz. as measured by a standard leather thickness gauge such as the Woburn ounce weight caliber, made by the Woburn Machine Company, Woburn, Massachusetts.The softness parameter is obtained by the selection of a leather with the softness characteristics of fine garment/dress glove leather (a standard category in the tanning industry).The consistent narrowness of width and thinness of depth (and manufacture of the yarn at a marketable cost) is obtained by a number of specifically interrelated machine cutting operations.

Abstract: A bladed wheel tractor having wheels with angularly disposed blades. Each wheel has a web, radial to the periphery of which is mounted a plurality of flat plates joined to form a tubular member or rim. Each plate has a diagonally mounted blade element, the blades of the front wheels being skewed inwardly and the blades of the rear wheels being skewed outwardly.
