A needle apparatus for making a pinning hole in a composite material, the apparatus having a needle with a longitudinal axis, a collar fixed about the needle, a motor having an axis of rotation, and being fixed to the needle such that the needle can be rotated by the motor, the motor and the collar being situated within a motor housing, the motor housing having a first bush, and a second bush, wherein the collar is positioned between the first bush and second bush so as to prevent the needle from moving away from or towards the motor, but allow the needle to rotate freely around its longitudinal axis, wherein each needle apparatus further comprises a linear actuator connected to the motor such that the motor can be moved along the axis of rotation of the motor by the linear actuator.

A spectacle lens processing device includes a drilling tool and a processor. The processor acquires a position of a hole formed in a lens and a pantoscopic angle. The pantoscopic angle is an angle in a vertical plane between a visual axis of a user and an optical axis of the lens when the user wears spectacles in which the lens after processing is mounted and faces forward. The processor determines, based on the acquired pantoscopic angle, a relative angle between the drilling tool and the lens when the hole is formed in the lens in the position of the hole.

A method and apparatus is provided for assessing the current state of doneness of a cooking food item. In a preferred embodiment, a sharpened hollow tubular cutting member of relatively small diameter is rotationally activated to cut and remove from a cooking food item a cylindrical core sample, preferably throughout its entire thickness, without substantial distortion of the shape of the sample. Upon expulsion from the cutting member, inspection of the core sample permits visual determination of the current state of doneness of the food item.
