  • Publication number: 20260087077
    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium includes generating, using a machine learning model, a summary of relevant data scraped from online news data and extracting topics from the summary of the relevant data. Then the method can include identifying suggested content offerings based on context data. The suggested content offerings can be aligned with the extracted topics and the context data can be received from a computing device. Then the method can include generating a communication based on a prompt. The prompt can be generated using the context data, the topics, the suggested content offerings, or combinations thereof. Lastly, the method can include providing, by the computing device to a client device, a graphical user interface comprising the communication.

  • Patent number: 12459042
    Abstract: A spindle for a machine tool, including a housing, a shaft for driving a cutting tool, rotatably mounted inside the housing with a possibility of axial movement relative to the housing, a single ball, axially interposed between a bearing ring fixed relative to the housing and a bearing ring movable with the shaft, one of these rolling rings defining an inclined bearing surface that is not perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft, so that the rotation of the ball generates an axial oscillation of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 12285830
    Abstract: Spindle for carrying out machining assisted by non-ultrasonic axial oscillations, including a tool-bearing shaft, and an exciting portion, for subjecting the shaft to non-ultrasonic axial oscillations, especially during its rotation. The exciting portion including a first exciting stage, having at least one piezoelectric actuator, and a second exciting stage, having at least one piezoelectric actuator, having a non-zero axial overlap with the first exciting stage, the actuators of the two stages being arranged so that their effects add.

  • Patent number: 9808898
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a sealing system for a tool holder of a fluid-assisted axial machining or milling machine, including:—at least first and second seals contributing to define a space for the flow of fluid to at least one inner channel of the tool, one of the seals being applied to the tool or an optional adapter carrying the tool and the other seal a) being applied to the tool or to the adapter carrying the tool or b) being applied to a surface spaced apart from the tool and rotating with same, with 0.3?Do/Djmax for Do in the interval [1; 3] in mm and 0.5?Do/Djmax for Do in the interval [3; 20] in mm, where Do is the diameter of the tool facing this other seal and Djmax is the internal diameter of this seal.

  • Patent number: 9776254
    Abstract: A machining method for at least one shaping machining operation can include carrying out a machining operation over a first distance using a cutting tool which is subjected to axial oscillations as it moves forward, then reducing the amplitude of the axial oscillations while continuing to drive the cutting tool in terms of rotation.
