  • Publication number: 20240383051
    Abstract: A cutting bit assembly for attachment to a tool holder of a milling-type machine includes a cutting tip, a generally cylindrical shank extending from the cutting tip and comprising a rotation-limiting surface, and a spring clip surrounding a body of the shank. The spring clip includes a protrusion configured to interact with the rotation-limiting surface of the shank to limit rotation of the shank relative to the spring clip. The spring clip includes a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration, and in both the contracted configuration and the expanded configuration the protrusion interacts with the rotation-limiting surface.

  • Publication number: 20240383524
    Abstract: A tool device, such as a lawnmower, or a steerable-wheel assembly therefor may include a frame, a walking element, a drive motor, and a steerable-wheel assembly (SWA). The walking element may be coupled to the frame. The drive motor may selectively power the walking element. The SWA may be attached to the frame apart from the walking element. The SWA may include a caster connector pivotably mounted to the frame to rotate about a pivot axis, a steerable wheel rotatably coupled to the caster connector, a detectable magnet fixed to the caster connector to pivot therewith about the pivot axis, and an encoder including a magnetic sensor fixed to the frame apart from the caster connector to detect a pivotable position of the detectable magnet.

  • Publication number: 20240336510
    Abstract: Processes and apparatuses converting poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). An oxidation reaction zone, preferably a thermal oxidizer, is used to oxidize the PFAS into fluoride species. A reaction zone having at least one reactor containing a solid reactant for neutralizing the fluoride species is provided. The solid reactant is also configured to degrade any PFAS remaining in the effluent from the oxidation zone. A cooling zone, for example, a quench zone may be between the reaction zone and the oxidation zone. The PFAS may be liquid PFAS that is injected into the thermal oxidizer.
