Publication number: 20040118886Abstract: An apparatus for securing a crossbar to a rail of a rack system for a vehicle includes a housing having a first end including a first jaw and a second end including a track. A crossbar plate is slidable along the track such that a distance between the crossbar plate and the first jaw varies as the crossbar plate slides along the track. A hook is pivotally coupled to the housing and includes a second jaw disposed opposite the first jaw, thereby defining an aperture for receiving a rail therebetween. A lever is pivotally coupled to the housing, the lever securing the crossbar plate relative to the track in a closed position and releasing the crossbar plate to move freely along the track in an open position. In the closed position, the lever moves the second jaw towards the first jaw to secure the rail therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2002Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: David Mirshafiee, Ron G.

Publication number: 20020146296Abstract: In milling operations, periodically sensed vibration signals synchronous with tool revolution enables a determination of whether the tool returns to approximately the same position each revolution. If so, stability is indicated by tightly grouped values of the periodically sensed vibration signal. If the tool does not return to the same position, spread in the value of the periodically sampled vibration signals is produced thereby indicating chatter conditions. Variance values may be calculated and displayed; histograms may be produced and displayed; corrective action, if needed, may be taken in response to the variance values and/or histogram. Nominal (or commanded) spindle speed, while not necessarily exactly synchronous with actual tool rotation, is entirely adequate to trigger samples and achieve clear indication of the presence or absence of chatter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2002Publication date: October 10, 2002Applicant: National Institute of Standards and TechnologyInventors: Tony L. Schmitz, Matthew A. Davies
