  • Publication number: 20250091141
    Abstract: Cutting tool assemblies, end mills, and related methods are disclosed. In accordance with an implementation, a face mill includes a cylindrical body including a central bore, a plurality of face mill coolant passages fluidly coupled to the central bore, and a cutting face. The cutting face includes a plurality of radially spaced teeth and gaps between the teeth. Each face mill coolant passage includes an opening at a corresponding gap.

  • Publication number: 20240012036
    Abstract: An installed device electrically connected to a power source. The installed device has circuitry capable of detecting voltage, performing self-diagnostics, and testing for connectivity to the power source. In one embodiment, the device can also check to see if the voltage is at a de-energized level, recheck for continuity and repeat the self-diagnostics. In another embodiment, the installed device can be electrically connected to the line and load side of a disconnect and have circuitry configured to check the status of the disconnect. In another embodiment, the device can be configured to communicate with a portable reader in order to transfer information to the portable reader. In yet another embodiment, the device can be configured to interact with a controller that controls access to the panel in which the device is installed.

  • Patent number: 9921260
    Abstract: A system for testing electrical continuity of a device to a source wherein there is at least one conductor connecting the device to the source can include a reference capacitive load, an oscillator, and a microprocessor. The oscillator is selectively connected to the reference capacitive load and each conductor connecting the device to the source such that the frequency output of the oscillator is a function of the selected capacitive load of the oscillator. Each conductor connecting the device to the source is connected to the oscillator such that when each one is selectively connected, the output of the oscillator is a function of that conductor's parasitic self-capacitance. The microprocessor can then compare the frequency of the signal generated when each conductor is connected to the oscillator with the frequency of the signal generated when the reference capacitive load is connected.
