  • Patent number: 10773315
    Abstract: A cutting device in accordance with some example embodiments is provided for use with an arbor assembly. The cutting device includes a blade having a plurality of teeth, and a back plate at a proximal end of the blade. The back plate has an outer end surface in which a plurality of ramp surfaces and pin locking recess are provided. A central through hole extending through the back plate. The ramp surfaces only allow the cutting device to be rotated relative to the arbor assembly in one direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10366178
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for multi-user CAx editing of a model of a design object may include (1) identifying one or more geometric elements referenced in response to creating a feature within the model of the design object, (2) receiving a feature operation that references the geometric elements referenced in response to creating the feature, (3) in response to receiving the feature operation, identifying a geometric element referenced by the feature operation, and (4) generating a unique persistent label for the geometric element. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20150120252
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collaborative editing of an electronic model of a design object may include (1) identifying clients configured to submit design operations to be performed on a shared design model, (2) receiving, from a first client, a first design operation to be performed on the shared design model prior to receiving, from a second client, a second design operation to be performed on the shared design model, (3) performing the first design operation prior to attempting to perform the second design operation, (4) identifying a conflict between the two design operations, and (5) in response to identifying the conflict between the design operations, notifying the second client that the second design operation was not performed on the shared design model. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed herein.
