Abstract: A pre-process simulation may calculate operating conditions of a machine tool by simulating a NC program and calculate predicted values indicative of the operating conditions. A real time monitoring system may compare actual values from the actual operation of a machine tool actually executing the NC program to the predicted values and determine whether to initiate a response. The operating conditions may be machine tool operating conditions. The comparison of actual values to predicted values may be based on a dynamic limit within which the predicted values fall which may vary based on the tool position, and the dynamic limit may include upper and lower limit boundaries.

Abstract: A method for performing a milling operation includes providing a milling cutter and a workpiece having an non-machined workpiece surface; receiving a set of milling cutter geometry parameters; creating a curvilinear profile from the workpiece surface; extracting a radius parameter from the curvilinear profile; determining an initial step-over value in response to the set of milling cutter geometry parameters; determining a surface roughness value in response to the set of milling cutter geometry parameters, the curvilinear profile of the workpiece surface, the radius parameter, and an initial tool inclination angle; determining a minimum surface roughness value in response to the cutter inclination angle value; and adjusting a calculated step-over value in response to the minimum surface roughness value where the calculated step-over value and the calculated inclination angle value are applied to operating the milling cutter.

Abstract: A magnetic-drive coupling pump configuration including an attachment/detachment mechanism allowing simple and reliable positioning and fixation is provided. Thrust-direction positioning and radial-direction positioning are achieved, respectively, by surface contact of a convex portion of a pump unit (10) inserted up to a predetermined position in a concave portion (31) of a drive motor unit (30), and contact between an outer circumferential surface of the convex portion (11) and an inner circumferential surface of the concave portion (31).

Abstract: A drive unit of a magnet coupling pump, in which leakage of the magnetic flux to the outside and the effect of the external magnetic field are suppressed. The drive unit includes: a driving magnet (219) positioned at an outside of the driven magnet (19) of the magnetic coupling pump (100) with respect to a rotation axis (A) of the magnetic coupling pump (100) to face the driven magnet (19) with a gap; a cup tube portion (221) made of a ferromagnetic material and in a tubular shape centered on the rotation axis (A); a case main body (231) including a cup (220) in which the driving magnet is fixed inside of the cup tube portion; a motor (210) rotating the cup around the rotation axis, and a tube portion (232), which is tubular in shape. The cup is provided in the tube portion (232) with a gap.

Abstract: A control apparatus of an internal combustion engine, for preventing a throttle valve from freezing when the internal combustion engine is stopped. A control unit is constructed to receive power from a battery ancillary to an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is stopped and perform a probability determination of whether or not the probability of a throttle valve freezing is high. When this probability is high, the control unit controls the throttle valve to execute a freeze protection operation, including a valve opening and closing operation of the throttle valve, before the throttle valve freezes. The probability determination is carried out using environmental temperature detecting means, engine temperature detecting means, date/time information outputting means, location information detecting means, and a drive level of an exhaust recirculating device.

Abstract: A vehicle safety device designed to reliably prevent uncontrolled travel or runaway of a vehicle when a collision accident occurs. A breaker is connected in a current path between a battery and a controller. In a processing section of a distance measuring unit, a time difference between the moment at which a laser light emitting section emits light and the moment at which a laser light receiving section receives light is detected and the distance and the relative speed between the vehicle and an object against which the vehicle may collide are calculated. When the distance between the vehicle and the object becomes zero while the relative speed between the vehicle and the object is larger than a predetermined value, the processing section determines that a collision has occurred, and supplies a control signal to the breaker to open the same.
