A quick-change tool-holding method and system for securing a tool within a primary tapered recess is disclosed. The tool-holding system includes an adaptor having a tapered exterior that closely approximates interior dimensions of the tapered recess to fit snugly within the tapered recess. The adaptor defines a secondary interior tapered recess and includes an exterior threaded portion about an aperture leading into the secondary tapered recess. A threaded fastener is also provided to include a threaded portion that is cooperable with threads provided adjacent to the primary tapered recess to secure the adaptor therein, as well as an aperture through which at least a portion of the exterior threaded portion of the adaptor extends when the adaptor is secured within the primary tapered recess by the threaded fastener. A collet comprising a plurality of slits formed therein is provided to allow the collet to elastically deform and constrict the tool when placed within an internal passage defined by the collet. An end cap with threads that are cooperable with the exterior threaded portion of the adaptor is included to urge the collet into the secondary tapered recess resulting in a constricting force on the tool within the collet's internal passage.

Method for a memory including a first, second, third and fourth cells include applying a read, program, or erase voltage, the first and second cells coupled to a first top interconnect, the third and fourth cells coupled to a second top interconnect, the first and third cells coupled to a first bottom interconnect, the second and fourth cells are to a second bottom interconnect, each cell includes a switching material overlying a non-linear element (NLE), the resistive switching material is associated with a first conductive threshold voltage, the NLE is associated with a lower, second conductive threshold voltage, comprising applying the read voltage between the first top and the first bottom electrode to switch the NLE of the first cell to conductive, while the NLEs of the second, third, and the fourth cells remain non-conductive, and detecting a read current across the first cell in response to the read voltage.

A machine having a machine tool operatively connected thereto by manually manipulatable fastening members. A fastening member receiving and retaining device is adapted for placement beneath the machine tool for catching fastening members when inadvertently dropped. A device for temporary attachment to the machine or machine adjacent surface, and a flexible cable device are provided for connecting the fastening member receiving and retaining device to the for temporary attachment. The flexible cable device is adapted to be manually positioned and shaped and to retain its shape and position in a self-sustaining manner while holding the fastening member receiving and retaining device beneath the machine tool.
