Abstract: A split hole saw bit designed for efficiently cutting circular holes in wood and simplifying the removal of the cut portion of wood (i.e., plug) from within the saw bit is disclosed. The bit comprises first and second semi-cylindrical members that, when assembled, form a circular bit equipped with cutting teeth at their bottom ends for initiating and performing the cut. A center pilot bit extends below the circular bit, designed to drill ahead, thereby facilitating the start of the cutting operation. The semi-cylindrical members are secured together using a nut having an integrated stopper which secures the semi-cylindrical members and prevents vertical movement of the center pilot bit during use. The drill head of the center pilot can be used with any drill and the bit enables easy detachment of the semi-cylindrical members for quick removal of the wood plug.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a method for predicting the progression of a current state. The method obtains input information concerning time-series forecasts of a state of an entity. The input information includes baseline information known about the state of the entity at a start time; and context information that includes a vector of time-independent background variables related to the entity. The method determines a first forecast for the entity at a first timestep that is separated from the start time by a time gap. The first forecast is determined, by a point prediction model, based on the baseline information and the context information. The method derives, from an autoregressive function, a mean parameter for a probabilistic function. The mean parameter is derived based on: the first forecast; and a learnable function trained based on the time gap and context information. The method parameterizes the probabilistic function based on the mean parameter.
