  • Patent number: 10156487
    Abstract: A tactile sensor includes a first insulating layer having a first array of electrically conductive strips embedded therein and extending in a first direction. An intermediate layer of conductive soft polymer material is positioned above the first insulating layer and the first array of said electrically conductive strips. A second insulating layer having a second array of electrically conductive strips embedded therein, which extend in a second direction which is different than the first direction, is positioned above the intermediate layer. The first array of electrically conductive strips are connected to the second array of electrically conductive strips, and both the first and second array of electrically conductive strips are also connected to an impedance measuring device.

  • Publication number: 20140056656
    Abstract: A turning tool for internal machining has a spiral groove at a head section entering an inside of a workpiece. The turning tool includes a tool body, which has a head section and a shank section extending from the head section, and a cutting insert. The head section includes the following: a flat portion extending from a front end of the head section, which enters the inside of a workpiece, toward the shank section; an insert pocket formed at an edge of the flat portion as offset from a central axis of the tool body; and a chip flute extending from a proximity of the insert pocket toward the shank section across the central axis of the tool body and including a spiral curved surface on a peripheral surface of the head section. The cutting insert is replaceably mounted to the insert pocket.
