  • Resonant vibration haptic display
    Patent number: 10579144
    Abstract: A haptic display system may comprise an array of vibratory elements, each vibratory element having a natural frequency different from the natural frequency of every other vibratory element in the array, a voice coil coupled to the array to impart vibrational energy to the array, and a microcontroller coupled to the voice coil to drive the array.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 3, 2020
    Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State University
    Inventors: Angela Sodemann, Nathan Eastburn, Kendra Kim

  • Systems and methods for real-time monitoring of micromilling tool wear
    Patent number: 10005167
    Abstract: The wear status of a micro-endmill tool may be inferred by monitoring the chip production rate of the tool in operation. Chips may be extracted from a work area, captured on an adhesive surface, imaged, and counted to determine the chip production rate. When the rate of chip production falls, the feed rate of the micro-endmill may be modified to a level suitable for the current state of tool wear. In this manner, costly and inconvenient work stoppages to evaluate the wear status of a tool are eliminated.

  • Systems and methods for real-time monitoring of micromilling tool wear
    Patent number: 9849554
    Abstract: The wear status of a micro-endmill tool may be inferred by monitoring the chip production rate of the tool in operation. Chips may be extracted from a work area, captured on an adhesive surface, imaged, and counted to determine the chip production rate. When the rate of chip production falls, the feed rate of the micro-endmill may be increased to a level suitable for the current state of tool wear. In this manner, costly and inconvenient work stoppages to evaluate the wear status of a tool are eliminated.
