  • Patent number: 7572167
    Abstract: A panty corselet without buckle structures including a corset portion and a pants portion is disclosed. The pants portion includes a front rise and two connection belts connected to a lower edge of the corset portion and adjacent to the front rise. One end of each of the two connection belts is connected to a bottom edge of the corset portion on each hip side, and the other end to a bottom edge of the front rise at a crotch area, thereby forming two openings through which a wearer's thighs could pass. As the panty corselet of this present invention is not provided with buckles, it enables women to take off or put on the panty corselet conveniently. Moreover, the ends of the two connection belts are respectively stitched to the corset portion and the front rise, thus bring comfort to wearing and overcome the defects in current technology.

  • Patent number: 7081040
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for sharpening a tool, such as a drill bit. A tool sharpener includes a tool holder subassembly which retains and presents the tool against a grinding wheel subassembly. A sensor locates a cutting edge of the tool while the tool is retained by the tool holder. A circuit, preferably comprising a programmable processor, determines a web thickness of the tool from the located cutting edge. The cutting edge is preferably located by detecting at least first and second points at different radii along the cutting edge. A cross-feed subassembly preferably moves the sensor into position, and the tool holder subassembly preferably rotates the tool to facilitate detection of each of the at least first and second points. The tool holder subassembly thereafter presents the tool against the grinding wheel subassembly in response to the determined web thickness of the tool.
