Abstract: There is provided a guide dresser for milling a saw guide, the guide dresser comprising first and second cutter assemblies that are slidably mounted on a rail or slide system so as to be adjustable, in operation, between an open position and a closed position. There is also provided cutter heads and methods for milling a saw guide.

Abstract: A guide dresser for milling a saw guide is disclosed herein. The guide dresser includes a guide mount assembly for adjustably moving a saw guide between an upper and lower position and first and second cutter assemblies that are slidably mounted on a rail or slide system so as to be adjustable, in operation, between an open position and a closed position. Cutter heads and methods for milling a saw guide are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for doing compact disc TOC look-ups cheaply and efficiently by using a special indexing mechanism particularized to TOC look-ups. The indexing scheme allows a successful search of TOCs using as few as 2 disk seeks in contrast to the usual hundreds of disk seeks required by a general purpose indexing scheme. This performance improvement is achieved by using a static database of TOCs in a read-only implementation so that the data organization and code for lookups can be optimized without regard for any updates to this data at a later time. The index data structure is arranged in a fashion that allows for seek-less, linear scans of index information once the proper scan location in the index has been identified.
