Abstract: A system receives a plurality of data streams, including a plurality of data points, associated with properties of a device. The system generates, for each data stream, a data set that includes at least a specified number of data points over a prior time period. The system identifies a first data stream that represents a property to be predicted for a future time period. The system generates a joined data set that includes a subset of the data sets not including a first data set of the first data stream. The joined data set and the first data set are inputted into a trained machine learning model, trained to output a predicted value of the first property for the future time period. The predicted value of the first property indicates an anomaly, and a resolution action for preventing the anomaly from occurring at the future time period is identified.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool includes a cutting head having a plurality of insert-receiving pockets for radially mounting a first type of cutting insert in a first cutting region and for tangentially mounting a second type of cutting insert in a second cutting region. The first cutting region has a first length, L1, and the second cutting region has a second length, L2, that is greater in magnitude than the first length, L1. The two types of cutting inserts provides a hybrid cutting insert design in which the first type of cutting inserts provide an increased chip gash volume for effective chip evacuation, and the second type of cutting inserts provide an increased core diameter to minimize deflection of the rotary cutting tool.

Abstract: A contouring arm and shoulder support is provided that is secured to a supporting and stabilizing belt. The support system comprises a belt support and an arm support that are operatively interconnected and yet easily disassociated. The arm support provides dynamic support that allows the patient to move their injured arm if needed.

Abstract: A compression milling cutter includes a shank and a front cutting portion that terminates at a leading end of the milling cutter. The front cutting portion has a first circumferential row of one or more insert receiving pockets proximate a leading end of the milling cutter, and a second circumferential row of one or more insert receiving pockets, each insert receiving pocket configured to receive a respective indexable cutting insert. The cutting insert mounted in the first circumferential row has a positive axial rake angle, A, and the indexable cutting insert mounted in an insert pocket of the second circumferential row has a negative axial rake angle, B. Because of the different axial rake angles, chips generated during a machining operation flow in opposite directions, thereby creating a compression zone disposed between the first and second circumferential rows. This compression zone replicates the cutting action of a solid end mill, particularly when machining fiber reinforced plastic materials.

Abstract: An electrical contact for insertion into a hole of a substrate. The electrical contact includes a compliant portion having an opening extending between contact arms. At least one contact arm of the contact arms has a resilient engagement section which extends into the opening of the compliant portion and resilient contacting sections which extend from the engagement section in a direction away from the opening. Upon insertion of the compliant portion into the hole of the substrate, the resilient engagement section of the at least one contact arm engages an opposed contact arm of the contact arms, causing each of the resilient contacting sections to move independently of the resilient engagement section and other resilient contacting sections. Each of the resilient engagement section and the resilient contacting sections are deformed and generate independent retention forces which are combined to generate the total retention force of the compliant portion.

Abstract: An electrical contact includes a compliant portion having an opening extending between contact arms. A first contact arm of the contact arms has multiple resilient engagement sections extending into the opening of the compliant portion and resilient contacting sections extending from the engagement sections in a direction away from the opening. Upon insertion of the compliant portion into the hole of the substrate, the resilient engagement sections of the first contact arm engage an opposed second contact arm of the contact arms, causing each of the resilient contacting sections to move independently of the resilient engagement sections and independently of other resilient contacting sections. Each of the resilient engagement sections and the resilient contacting sections are deformed and generate independent retention forces which are combined to generate the total retention force of the compliant portion.

Abstract: A double-sided, indexable cutting insert for a milling cutter includes a first surface, a second surface, and side surfaces. Major cutting edges are defined at an intersection between the first and second surfaces and side surfaces. Minor cutting edges and ramping cutting edges are defined at the intersection between the first and second surfaces and side surfaces. The cutting insert is mounted in a milling cutter having a bottom seating surface formed at an angle with respect to a central, rotational axis of the milling cutter, which provides superior performance for both milling and ramping cutting operations.

Abstract: A cutting tool, such as a milling cutter, includes a tool body and a plurality of pockets for receiving cutting inserts. Each pocket includes a bottom support surface, an radial support surface, an axial support surface, a first corner relief between the bottom support surface and the radial support surface, and a first stress relief formed in the first corner relief at one end of the pocket. The first stress relief is formed at an angle with respect to a plane parallel to the radial support surface. The first stress relief reduces a tensile stress of the cutting tool during a machining operation. A second and third stress relief may be formed in the first corner relief and/or in a second corner relief.
