A plunge milling system (10) for effecting rapid removal of material from a workpiece during a rough and / or finishing cutting procedure. In this system, an axial cutting tool (12) is rotated about its axis and axially moved into engagement with the workpiece for cutting material from the workpiece. When the tool (12) is engaged with the workpiece, the tool is also moved transaxially and simultaneously with the axial movement whereby material is removed from the workpiece along a curved path.

The invention relates to a carpometacarpal joint of the thumb of a bionic artificial hand. The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb of the bionic artificial hand is provided with a joint gear 6, and the axis position of the gear is made to correspond to the movement axis of a thumb carpometacarpal joint of a human hand. The thumb is driven by a micromotor 2 to rotate around the axis of the joint gear 6, so that the actions of opening and closing of the thumb are completed. A lateral rotating shaft 9 of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is fixed to the joint gear 6, and the axis of the lateral rotating shaft 9 and the axis of a thumb opening-closing shaft 7 perpendicularly intersect at the axis of the joint gear 6. The thumb is driven by another micromotor 12 to rotate in the side direction of the axis of the joint gear. The elevation angle of the lateral rotating shaft 9 of the thumb relative to a palm is equivalent to the elevation angle of the thumb relative to the palm when the human hand is relaxed. The functions, actions and appearance of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb are closer to those of the human thumb, and the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is simple and reliable in structure and good in practical effect.

These fastener elements have: an element main body portion having a coupling head portion; and first and second projections that project in a tape surface / rear-surface direction from the element main body portion. The first and second projections have a top surface, peripheral side surfaces standing upright from the element main body portion, and at least one sloped surface between the top surface and the peripheral side surfaces that has a different angle of inclination from the top surface and the peripheral side surfaces. As a result, the fastener elements appear long and narrow in the element length direction and have an external appearance close to that of a metal element. Furthermore, a stop claw portion is less likely to catch on the fastener elements when starting the sliding operation of a slider.
