  • Publication number: 20240004529
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for metaverse event sequencing. A method may include receiving a request to cue a scene associated with a metaverse place from a user device, the scene associated with a master timeline of events, wherein each event of the master timeline of events is associated with a respective time point on the master timeline, and wherein the request includes a first cue point. The method may also include retrieving scene data associated with the scene, identifying a set of events with time points that are at or after the first cue point, transitioning the master timeline to the first cue point, recreating the set of events based upon a current point in the master timeline after the transitioning and in a sequence based on the master timeline, and providing the recreated events for display at the user device.

  • Patent number: 10294786
    Abstract: A rotatable cutting tool (10) includes a cutting tool body (12) having an axial forward end (14) and an axial rearward end (16). A bolster (46) at least partially received in a head portion (22) and includes a convex-shaped head portion (56) with a socket (20), a collar portion (58) and a tapered shank portion (60). The socket (20) is formed with a substantially planar side wall (20a), a bottom wall (20b), and a radius blend (20c). A hard tip or cutting insert (18) is at least partially received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46) and includes a convex-shaped conical head portion (72), a collar portion (74) and an axially-rearward portion (76) that generally conforms to the geometry of the socket (20) of the bolster (46). Between about sixty percent (60%) and about ninety percent (90%) of the cutting insert (18) is received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46), thereby reducing forces and stresses transmitted to the cutting tool (10) during a machining operation.

  • Patent number: 10030515
    Abstract: A mounting assembly adapted for attachment to a surface of a rotatable driving member of a cutting tool machine and adapted for receiving a cutting tool includes: a base having a bottom portion for attachment to the surface of the rotatable driving member and a front portion that defines a bore; and a tool holder configured for mounting to the base. The tool holder includes: a leading head region having a forward face that defines an aperture for receiving the cutting tool; a trailing shank region with a central longitudinal axis and having an axial forward end and an axial rearward end; and a mediate region intermediate of and contiguous with the leading head region and the trailing shank region. The trailing shank region includes an anti-rotation portion and a mounting retention portion.

  • Patent number: 9695687
    Abstract: A block for use in a cutting assembly wherein the block includes a block body that contains a reservoir with coolant therein. The block body contains a top passage operative communication with the reservoir so as to receive coolant. The top passage has an axial forward top passage section terminating in an axial forward top passage end. The axial forward top passage section has an axial forward top passage section central longitudinal axis. The top passage further has an axial rearward top passage section terminating in an axial rearward top passage end. The axial rearward top passage section has axial rearward top passage section central longitudinal axis. The axial forward top passage section central longitudinal axis is disposed at an angle with respect to the axial rearward top passage section central longitudinal axis.
