Publication number: 20240082930Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ian Edward HOLLIDAY, Emil DOBOSZ, Barry Leslie WARD, Antony James THEAKER, David CAWKWELL

Patent number: 10157121Abstract: A method for generating an automated test configured to test a system under test. The system under test includes a plurality of operational states and executable actions. The method includes: providing a model of the system under test, the model including a plurality of model states and selectable model actions, wherein one or more of the model states are representative of operational states of the system under test and each model action is associated with one or more executable actions on the system under test; and generating an automated test. The automated test is generated by selecting a sequence of model actions; and defining, based on the selected sequence of model actions, an automated test configured to execute a sequence of executable actions on the system under test. The selection of model actions is dependent upon the previous selection of model actions in the current and/or previous automated tests.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: TESTPLANT EUROPE LTDInventors: Antony Edwards, Giles Thomas Hall

Patent number: 9862580Abstract: An industrial lift truck with a tilt measuring accessory, which provides an operator with a visual indication of the mast assembly tilt angle by means of a flexible cable operated sliding weight indicator mounted on the mast assembly. The flexible cable is fixedly mounted by a mounting device to a roll-cage and extends parallel, or substantially so, to the surface on which the lift truck is operating, before passing over a pulley mounted on the mast assembly to extend downwardly and parallel, or substantially so, to the mast assembly. The sliding weight is received for sliding engagement within a guide, wherein, when the mast assembly is tilted, movement of the flexible cable causes a corresponding movement of the weight relative to the guide thereby giving the visual indication of the angle of tilt of the mast assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Inventor: Antony Edward Cook
