A method for manufacturing a shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file comprising the steps of: providing a superelastic file having a shaft and a file axis; providing a fixture including a file path being defined by one or more displacement members, the file path configured for receiving the shaft; inserting at least a portion of the shaft into the fixture along the file path, the portion of the shaft including a first portion of the shaft; contacting the first portion of the shaft with a first displacement member of the one or more displacement members such that the first portion of the shaft is displaced from the file axis thereby forming a first offset portion of the shaft; heating the portion of the shaft while inserted in the fixture to a temperature of at least about 350° C. to about 600° C. for a time period of about 3 minutes to about 30 minutes to shape-set the portion of the shaft while altering the austenite finish temperature thereby forming the shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file; and wherein the altered austenite finish temperature of the shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file is ranges from about 20° C. to about 40° C.

A process to produce a workpiece surface or a groove inner surface on a rod-shaped, especially cylindrical workpiece. From the workpiece, a rotary tool is supposed to be produced. The material removal is done using laser beam pulses, which are directed through a deflection device onto points of incidence within a pulse area with a specified outside contour on the workpiece. Multiple machine axis drives position the workpiece and the deflection device relative to one another so that the pulse area is oriented essentially at right angles to the emission direction of the laser beam pulses and at right angles to the section of the tool surface that has already been produced and that borders the pulse area. While the material is being removed, the at least one machine axis drive moves the pulse area relative to the workpiece along a specified path of motion while maintaining the orientation.

The invention discloses an unsupervised cross-domain adaptive data calibration method and system based on weighted distribution alignment and geometric feature alignment, and relates to the technicalfield of data calibration. The invention aims to effectively improve the data calibration accuracy. Weighted distribution alignment can balance the importance of marginal probability distribution andconditional probability distribution of the sample data, so that the difference between domains is reduced. The geometric feature alignment not only can further mine the geometric features of the sample data between the fields, but also can well maintain the geometric structure of the sample data space through the Grabbs regularization, thereby improving the sample separability and the data calibration accuracy. Compared with other methods for experimental comparison, the system-unsupervised cross-domain adaptive data calibration method based on weighted distribution alignment and geometric feature alignment can effectively improve the data calibration accuracy.
