International Classification:

B23B027/10
B23B001/00

US Classification:

082/001110, 082/050000

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus for machining a workpiece include the use of a cryogenically cooled oxide-containing ceramic cutting tool. The method involves cryogenic cooling of the cutting tool during a cutting operation, which cooling results in enhanced wear resistance and fracture resistance of the cutting tool. A preferred embodiment involves jetting a cryogenic fluid directly at the cutting tool.

Abstract:

A method for enabling an entity of a group of entities in a region to comply with a regulation regarding a pollutant to be discharged in the region from a point source operated by an entity includes: establishing an administrator in communication with the entities; establishing an amount of discharge of the pollutant from a point source operated by a first entity within the region during a period; comparing the amount of discharge of the pollutant from the point source and an amount of allowance allocated to the first entity during the period to assess compliance of the first entity with the regulation; establishing a value for the amount of allowance to be allocated by the first entity to discharge the pollutant from the point source; communicating that value to the administrator or a second entity; and defining a solution enabling the first entity to comply with the regulation.
