Abstract: A method for grinding out a contoured workpiece including providing a grinding wheel having a first abrasive work surface location and a second abrasive work surface location, the first abrasive work surface location having a first tangential radius and the second abrasive work surface location having a second tangential radius, the first and second tangential radii being different, grinding the workpiece at a first time with the first abrasive work surface location without the second abrasive work surface location performing grinding, and grinding the workpiece at a second time with the second abrasive work surface location without the first abrasive work surface location performing grinding.

Abstract: A cover is described that includes an opening for the cover to receive a latch of a pluggable device to secure the pluggable device in the cover. The cover includes a retaining latch for the cover to hold the cover within an opening of a device. The cover, when inserted into the opening of the device, provides dust protection for the opening of the device and a parking location for the pluggable device. A method is also described for parking a fiber optic connector in a cover and latching the cover into a cage of a communications device.
