Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system and method for dispensing a floor coating in a specified ratio of multiple components is disclosed. The system and method may set and maintain a desired ratio of the multiple components by controlling, with a controller, a drive rate of respective pumps configured for propelling the components from a reservoir to a mixer or a dispenser. The controller may be responsive to at least one of a measured actual drive rate, an environmental condition, an actual usage of each component, and an operational parameter of the system, for adjusting a drive rate of the respective pumps to compensate for discrepancies that may affect the ratio of the multiple components.

Abstract: A cutting element includes a multilayer polycrystalline diamond element bonded to a substrate of a less hard material. The polycrystalline diamond element defines a matrix of interstitial volumes. The interstitial volumes of a first region of the diamond layer are adjacent a working surface thereof being substantially free of a catalyzing material. The interstitial volumes of a second region of the diamond layer are remote from the working surface containing the catalyzing material.

Abstract: A cutting element comprises a multilayer polycrystalline diamond element 42 bonded to a substrate 44 of a less hard material, the polycrystalline diamond element 42 defining a matrix of interstitial volumes, the interstitial volumes of a first region of the diamond layer 42 adjacent a working surface 46 thereof being substantially free of a catalysing material, the interstitial volumes of a second region of the diamond layer 42 remote from the working surface 46 containing catalysing material.
