Abstract: A method for operating a hand-held machine tool including a tool that can be brought into operative connection with a driven shaft, the machine tool having a drive device for actuating the driven shaft, a control device for actuating the drive device and at least one sensor device operatively connected to the control device. The method includes: determining a value of a feed rate of the machine tool using the at least one sensor device; determining a speed value of the driven shaft; determining an output value by means of the control device on the basis of the speed value of the driven shaft and the value of the feed rate; and controlling an output device in a predefined manner and/or controlling the drive device in a predefined manner by means of the control device on the basis of the determined output value. A machine tool is also described.

Abstract: A method for operating a machine tool, in particular an angle grinder, including a tool rotatably bringable into operative connection with a driven shaft, the machine tool having a drive device for actuating the driven shaft, a control device for actuating the drive device and at least one sensor device operatively connected to the control device. The method has the following steps: determining a speed value of the driven shaft; determining a speed value of the tool using the sensor device, which interacts with the tool, controlling an output device and/or controlling, in a predefined manner, the drive device via the control device when a difference between the determined speed value of the driven shaft and the determined speed value of the tool is greater than a defined limit value. A machine tool for carrying out a method of this kind is also described.

Abstract: A transportation system which is linked through a common single operating system, in the form of a vacuum tube-link network of transport tubes avoids the limitations of current transportation systems in terms of cost of construction, continuous rising costs of maintenance, limited speed capacity, limited volume capacity, insufficient safety, and vulnerability to environmental and climatic changes. The present invention offers year-round, uninterrupted operation while providing a safe haven at stations for the public during environmental or climatic conditions making sustaining life difficult or impossible. The transportation system of the present invention operates in a contained vacuum tube link environment within which a transport capsule is levitated. Levitation is provided by permanent magnets located in the interior of the transport tube and liquid-cooled super-conducting bulk elements located on the capsule. Cooling may be provided by a fluid such as nitrogen, helium, etc.

Abstract: A land-based transportation and infrastructure system that allows high-speed transport for passengers, freight transport, a power management and distribution system. The transport-web infrastructure network system (T.W.I.N.S.) design includes a containment tube-link network that contains within it a transport tube-link network and a utilities grid infrastructure. The transport tube-link network is a vacuum environment within which a transport capsule is levitated by permanent magnets located in the interior of the transport tube plus super-conducting bulk elements located on the capsule and thus combined with a liquid coolant, such as nitrogen or helium, allows for greater speed since no friction exists within such a vacuum environment. Typically, the containment tubes are designed to be sub-ground, even though above ground is also an option.
