Reconfigurable measurement system utilizing a programmable hardware element and fixed hardware resources

A system and method for configuring a device to perform a function, where the device includes a programmable hardware element and one or more fixed hardware resources. A program is stored which represents the function. A hardware configuration program is generated based on the program, specifying a configuration for the programmable hardware element that implements the function, and usage of the fixed hardware resources by the programmable hardware element in performing the function. A deployment program deploys the hardware configuration program onto the programmable hardware element, where, after deployment, the device is operable to perform the function, where the programmable hardware element directly performs a first portion of the function, and the programmable hardware element invokes the fixed hardware resources to perform a second portion of the function. An optional measurement module couples to the device and performs signal conditioning and / or conversion logic on an acquired signal for the device.

Handle connector

A handle connector for securing the head of a cleaning tool to its handle is formed as a unitary integral body, preferably of die-cast construction. The connector has two distal ends. At one end, there is an opening for receiving a handle. The other end of the connector extends outwardly and is configured to mate with the head of a broom, mop, or similar manual tool. The body of the connector includes a floating web comprising a substantially flat section and laterally flanking slots. A bolt and wing nut are provided for joining the handle to the connector. As the wing nut is manually tightened against the connector, it applies a compressive force against the flat section of web, which flexes inward in relation to the handle, ultimately contacting the outside surface of the handle. Continued manual tightening ensures for a tight fit between handle and connector and rigidly secures the joint between these tool components.

Friction-assisted tube fabrication method

A friction assisted tube fabrication method is disclosed. The friction assisted tube fabrication includes a set of methods such as a friction assisted tube forming, a friction assisted tube extrusion, and a friction assisted tube straining method. A metal object, for example, a deformable tube is simply deformed into the tube using a mandrel. The metal object with an initial diameter is forced across the slope of the mandrel with an angle. The mandrel is configured to rotate while forcing the metal object to deform into the tube with the desired radius. While rotating the mandrel, a friction is generated due to contact between the tube and the mandrel, thereby generating thermal energy to heat a deformation area of the tube for simply and easily softening and forming into the desired shape with accuracy diameter, and dimensions using a nominal pressing force without additional equipment and power.
