Abstract: A microphone includes a housing. The microphone includes a windscreen coupled with the housing. The windscreen and the housing define a central volume. The microphone includes an audio module within the central volume. The audio module includes a receiver capsule, a carrier unit coupled with the receiver capsule, and a counterweight coupled with the carrier unit. The microphone includes a suspension element that is coupled with the housing and carrier unit to suspend the audio module within the central volume. The suspension element includes an inner body that contacts the carrier unit. The suspension element includes first and second flanges extending outward from the inner body. The first and second flange are fixedly coupled with the housing. A cross-section of the first and second flange includes an arched region that extends at least partially to an inner wall of the housing. The arched regions are oriented in opposite directions.

Abstract: A microphone capsule assembly includes a first microphone capsule oriented to face a first direction that is parallel to a first plane, a second microphone capsule oriented to face in a direction opposite to the first direction, where a front face of the second microphone capsule is spaced a distance from a front face of the first microphone capsule in the first direction, a third microphone capsule oriented to face in a second direction that is at a first acute angle to the first direction when measured parallel to the first plane, and a fourth microphone capsule oriented to face in a third direction that is at a second acute angle to the first direction when measured parallel to the first plane, where the third and fourth microphone capsules are spaced a distance from the front face of the first microphone capsule in the first direction.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool is provided that includes a cutter body, and a plurality of cartridges, fasteners, and cartridge axial adjustment mechanisms. The cutter body has a rotational axis, a circumferential exterior surface, and a plurality of cartridge pockets disposed in the circumferential exterior surface. A cartridge fastener threaded aperture is disposed in each cartridge pocket. The cartridge fastener threaded apertures extend along an axis disposed at an acute angle. Each cartridge has a body having at least one cartridge fastener aperture disposed at the acute angle. Each cartridge axial adjustment mechanism is aligned with a cartridge. Each fastener holds a cartridge against a cartridge pocket, and biases the cartridge against the aligned cartridge axial adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool is provided that includes a shank and a body. The body extends axially outwardly from the shank, and has a plurality of first teeth and a plurality of second teeth. The first and second teeth are alternately arranged and spaced apart from one another around a circumference. Each first tooth includes a primary cutting edge disposed at a primary angle relative to the rotational axis and a tertiary cutting edge disposed at a tertiary angle relative to the rotational axis. Each second tooth includes a secondary cutting edge disposed at a secondary angle relative to the rotational axis. The secondary cutting edge is disposed axially between the primary cutting edge and the tertiary cutting edge.

Abstract: A rotary tool comprises a cylindrical sleeve including an opening formed in an outer circumferential surface thereof providing fluid communication between a hollow interior of the sleeve and an environment surrounding the sleeve. The sleeve includes an axially extending flow passage formed therein terminating in a first fluid outlet formed in an open end of the sleeve disposed adjacent a cutting element of the rotary tool. The fluid outlet is configured to deliver a flow of a fluid toward the workpiece to cause chips formed during the machining operation to be directed away from the workpiece and out of the hollow interior of the sleeve through the opening formed in the outer circumferential surface thereof.

Abstract: A lubricant distribution device configured to be coupled to a rotating cutting tool having a plurality of circumferentially spaced cutting surfaces comprises a main body having a manifold conduit extending along a central rotational axis of the main body and a plurality of lubricant distributing conduits formed in the main body and extending radially outwardly from the manifold conduit. Each of the lubricant distributing conduits is configured to convey a lubricant therethrough and includes an inlet fluidly coupling each of the lubricant distributing conduits to the manifold conduit and an outlet disposed adjacent a corresponding one of the circumferentially spaced cutting surfaces of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A throttle body fuel injection system and method that is arranged to easily replace four-barrel carburetors includes a throttle body assembly with four main bores, each with a throttle plate and an associated fuel injector. Each injector feeds fuel into a circular fuel distribution ring via a fuel injection conduit, which introduces pressurized fuel into the air stream. The fuel distribution rings and bores have profiles that avoid constrictions for to prevent low pressure zones according to the Venturi effect. Fuel is injected through downward-facing outlets at or near the bottom end of the rings. The fuel injection rings are two-piece, each formed of an insert pressed into an outer housing. The insert includes axial grooves intervaled about its exterior circumference of insert that are joined by a circumferential groove formed about the insert. The grooves are in fluid communication with a conduit that supplies fuel from a fuel injector.

Abstract: A cutting tool including an annular cutter body having at least one V-shaped pocket formed therein and a cutting tool cartridge configured to be received in the at least one pocket of the cutter body. The cutting tool cartridge including a main body. The main body includes a cutting head having a cutting chip control portion and a pocket configured to receive a cutting insert.

Abstract: A throttle body fuel injection system and method that is arranged to easily replace four-barrel carburetors includes a throttle body assembly with four main bores, each with a throttle plate and an associated fuel injector. Each injector feeds fuel into a circular fuel distribution ring via a fuel injection conduit, which introduces pressurized fuel into the air stream. The fuel distribution rings and bores have profiles that avoid constrictions for to prevent low pressure zones according to the Venturi effect. The throttle body includes an idle air control circuit having a port opening into main intake bores downstream of the point of fuel distribution into the air stream, thereby reducing the tendency for a lean fuel mixture at idle. An ECU “feed forward” algorithm controls fuel injection as a function of the position of the idle air control valve.
