Abstract: A cutting insert includes a cutting insert body having a plurality of openings, a plurality of cutting tips, and a braze joint between each of the cutting tips and the cutting insert body. Each of the cutting tips may be disposed in a respective opening of the insert body. The cutting tips include an intermediate feature and a tip portion. The intermediate feature has a geometry that provides a mechanical bond when inserted into an opening of the cutting insert body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cutting tool inserts. A cutting tool insert includes an abrasive tip of a hard material, an abrasive or superabrasive material. A cutting tool insert is bonded to an insert body by mechanical force. The mechanical forces are generated through deformation of mating geometric features on the abrasive tip and insert body.

Abstract: The method of controlling the modulation pressure in an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle engine includes determining which of n types of engines is being controlled, converting a digitized measured engine load value to one of eight scaled binary values, converting a digitized measured engine speed value signal to one of 32 scaled binary values, combining the scaled binary values of both engine speed and load into an address word for addressing one of n.times.256 storage locations of a data storage device containing reference control data, addressing the storage location corresponding to the address word and transferring the contents of the storage location so addressed to a microprocessor, which generates a current controlling a modulation pressure valve connected to the transmission according to the predetermined engine speed and load dependent data.
