Abstract: Theft-resistant product package includes a front shell having a security pattern of thickened plastic areas or of cut-resistant strands on a plastic substrate and a back cover secured to and disposed relative to the front shell. An alternative theft-resistant product package includes an enclosed packaging structure having front and back surfaces spaced apart by at least one side wall around the perimeter of the front and back surfaces, and a plurality of indentations disposed in the at least one side wall. A process for manufacturing theft-resistant product packaging includes the steps of forming a theft-resistant security pattern of thickened plastic areas on a plastic substrate, shaping the plastic substrate to form a cavity, and securing the plastic substrate to a back cover.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing theft-resistant product packaging includes the steps of (1) providing a matrix of cut-resistant strands, (2) adhering the matrix to a plastic substrate to form a theft-resistant material, (3) forming a front shell from the theft-resistant material including a cavity for holding a product therein, and (4) securing the front shell to a back cover so as to enclose the product therebetween.

Abstract: Theft-resistant product packaging includes a front shell having a matrix of cut-resistant strands disposed within or adjacent to a plastic substrate, and a back cover secured to and disposed relative to the front shell so as to form a cavity configured to contain a product therebetween. The cut-resistant strands may be formed of metal, fiber or fabric forming a matrix of cut-resistant strands which are overlayed, weaved or twisted with respect to one another.

Abstract: A method of feeding a tool to a predetermined depth in a workpiece in a machining process for producing at least one tooth surface on the workpiece. The workpiece being rotatable about a work axis and the tool being rotatable about a tool axis and includes at least one stock removing surface, The method comprises rotating the tool about the tool axis and contacting the rotating tool and the workpiece. The tool is fed relative to the workpiece along a feedpath to the predetermined depth wherein at least a portion of the feedpath is defined by a feed vector comprising at least first and second feed vector components. The first and second feed vector components are positioned in a plane defined by the work axis and the direction of the tool axis with the first feed vector component being substantially in the direction of the tool axis and the second feed vector component being substantially in the direction of the face width of the workpiece.
